Submit to the Boss He Rules the Boardroom and the Bedroom novel Chapter 204
Lucia couldn't help laughing, and deliberately teased Paula. "What's the big day? Are you getting married?"
On the other end of the phone, Paula pretended to be angry, "Nonsense! I'm serious! Just the concert I told you about last time! Did you forget?"
As soon as Lucia heard it, she immediately remembered that Paula had told her when she came back from Franksfurt last time, and she had promised that she would go.
She smiled and said, "Of course, I didn’t forget!"
To raise the surgery fee for her father, she had been very busy recently. She finally had time, and it was good to take this opportunity to relax. Besides, this concert was Paula's first show after returning from abroad. So, of course, she would go to the concert.
"It's the day after tomorrow! I'm sending the tickets to you. The address is your company, and it should arrive later!"
'Okay, I know."
Paula continued, "Two in total... It doesn't matter if Burton doesn't come. As long as you come, I'll be happy."
When Lucia heard this, she couldn't help laughing.
Girls v/ere all duplicitous. How could she not guess .Paula's true thoughts?
"Dont worry. I'll see what I can do."
‘Alright... That's it. I'll hang up first."
It was rare for Paula to hang up her phone so quickly. Lucia smiled helplessly, looked at the screen of her phone, and couldn't help shaking her head.
Paula was in love!
It didn't take long for her to receive a call from the delivery man. After she went downstairs to pick up the tickets, she glanced at the time. There were still ten minutes before going back to work in the afternoon. At this time, Burton should be in the company.
Then she'd better send it to him directly. Whether he was going or not depending on his own decision.
After getting on the elevator from the lobby on the first floor, Lucia went directly to the floor where the President's Office was. She saw Burton not long after she

•0*10 walked out.
She was just about to stop him, but he didn’t see her and walked directly to the door of the office.
Lucia’s pace slowed down a bit, and she had a bad premonition. As expected, after taking two more steps, she saw August coming out of the office and talking to Burton.
She paused and was about to turn away and wait a while on the side when August raised his head and looked towards her as if he was sensing something.
The moment their eyes met, they were both stunned.
Lucia bit her lips and was about to bite the bullet and turn around when August suddenly raised her chin slightly at her as if to motion for her to go over.
In this way, she couldn’t dodge even if she wanted to. She took a deep breath and walked over.
August raised his eyebrows slightly and glanced at her, "Are you here to see me?"
Before she could speak, he turned around and said, "Come in."
At that moment, Lucia gritted her teeth and hesitated, "No... no."
August paused and looked back at her. Didn’t she come to see him?
Lucia clenched her fists, took a look at Burton with courage, lowered her eyes quickly, and said in a low voice, “I’m here to see Burton."
As soon as she said these words, the atmosphere instantly became awkward.
August's eyes darkened and he glanced at Burton next to him.
His temples throbbed. After two seconds, he turned around, walked into the office, and closed the office door directly.
The sound was loud.
Burton on the side was ashamed and a little uneasy. The president seemed angry with him. but he didn't do anything!
He looked at Lucia and quickly asked. "Ms. Mitchell, what’s the matter?"
Lucia breathed a sigh of relief, took out a concert ticket from her pocket, and handed it to him. “This is the ticket to the concert where Paula will be performing. She asked me to give it to you."
As soon as he heard the word "Paula", Burton’s lit up and he quickly reached out to take it, "Okay."
‘’Well..." Lucia smiled, looked at him, and said, "Will you go?"

Burton nodded without hesitation and smiled slightly, ’ Yes."
’That's good."
Seeing Burton's expression, Lucia couldn’t help but deepen her smile. She winked at him, and said meaningfully, "Men should take the initiative, come on!"
With that, she turned and left, leaving Burton standing there alone. He froze at first and smiled again.
He put away the ticket. Remembering that what August had told him was not finished, he turned around and knocked on the door of the office.
August responded in the office. When he looked up. Burton had already pushed the door open and walked in.
There was a smile on his face, and he seemed in a good mood.
August couldn't help frowning. He wondered what Lucia had said to him just now.
"Mr. Adams, what you just ordered...’
Before Burton could finish his sentence, he was ruthlessly interrupted, "What did she say just now?”
"Ms, Mitchell? She left after she gave me one thing...”
August asked with a gloomy expression, "What is it?"
He hadn't received anything from her yet. Now Burton was one step ahead of him?
Burton looked a little embarrassed. But looking at August's unhappy face, he took out the ticket he had put away.
He tried to explain, "It's the ticket to a concert. Her friend has a performance, and she asked me to go watch it...”
When he heard that it was Lucia’s friend, August’s expression softened, "Is it Paula?"
"Yes, it s her."
August raised his eyebrows slightly and glanced at the ticket in his hand, "Lucia will go too?"
"Yes." /
August's temples throbbed again.
Tickets were usually given for consecutive seats. Did this mean that Paula would be playing on stage and Lucia and Burton would sit together to watch the concert?
His assistant was going to watch a concert with his ex-wife. It sounded so weird.
After a few seconds of pause, he raised his eyebrows slightly and said calmly, "I
• TT • 10 suddenly want to go and watch it. Leave the ticket. You buy another one, and the company will reimburseyou."
Burton was stunned, "Well...”
He'd worked for August for a few years, but he had never seen August go to a concert.
What was going on? The president suddenly became interested in music.
"What?" August looked up at him and his eyes were deep and cold, "Is it inconvenient?”
Burton quickly responded, "Of course not. I’ll buy it now!"
He had no choice but to obey his boss.
Burton glanced down at the ticket in his hand and slowly placed it in the corner of the table.
He was afraid that he didn't know what to say when Paula asked. Putting down the ticket, Burton turned around and left. Just as he reached the door, he was suddenly stopped.
August leaned back slightly on the back of the chair, looked up at him, and said softly, ' Burton, are you interested in Lucia's friend?'"
Burton was surprised. Was it so obvious? He just liked her.
He nodded, "Sort of."
Hearing what he said, August breathed a sigh of relief, "Well, it’s good."
Burton was perplexed. Looking at August, who was looking down at the documents, he didn't even understand what he meant.
When the door was closed, August smiled.
Burton could like anyone but Lucia. Otherwise, as her ex-husband, he would be so humiliated.
