Submit to the Boss He Rules the Boardroom and the Bedroom

Chapter 78

Looking at the man's back, August unhappily pursed his lips, eyes darkened.

When the car slowly started, Burton also saw a familiar figure over there, so he subconsciously looked up through the rearview mirror to see August, asking with some hesitation, "President Adams, do you need me to stop."

August's face went cold and he forced himself to avert his gaze, "No."

Stopped for that woman? Seeing August's reaction like this, Burton secretly breathed a sigh of relief, stepped on the gas, and accelerated the car.

The car drove by fast, and not far from the roadside, Lucia was oblivious to what was going on inside the car.

A delivery guy came running fast, but Lucia had her head down and didn't even notice him.

When the delivery guy was about to hit Lucia, Paul suddenly reached out and pulled her away, "Watch out! With a burst of dizziness, Lucia fell into a wide embrace.

And she was just standing firm when a warm male voice reached her ears, "Are you okay?"

As soon as she looked up, she met his dark, shining eyes.

"I'm...

fine."

She unconsciously took a step back and pulled away from Paul.

For some reason, she suddenly felt a sense of guilt, and the face of another man flashed through her mind.

Why was she thinking about August at this time? With her eyebrows furrowing, Lucia almost wanted to pry open her head to see what was inside.

At this time, Paul's voice came to her ears, "Lucia, are you okay?"

She looked up at Paul and smiled shyly at him, "I'm...

okay.

Let's go."

Because of the limited lunch break, they simply ate at a nearby restaurant, and when it was time to go to work in the afternoon, Paul sent Lucia downstairs to the office as a gentleman.

Before leaving, Paul smiled crookedly and whispered, "It was a little rushed today and I'll make up for it some other time."

Lucia smiled at him, "No, I think it's fine."

With Paul, she felt at ease with his appropriate humor and thoughtfulness.

Paul smiled softly and asked, "Shall I come to pick you up when you get off work tonight?"

Lucia softly declined, "No, I don't think so."

Smiling, Paul didn't force her.

He raised his hand and rubbed her head naturally, saying softly, "Well then, go to work, and I'll watch you go."

Lucia's heart sank, and a strange feeling arose in her heart.

No man had ever treated her this way before, and she was touched, as if a stone had been thrown into a lake, slowly making ripples.

Looking up at the man in front of her, Lucia smiled crookedly at him, "Okay, I'll see you some other time."

Turning around, she walked into the lobby of the company, and before she could take a few steps there was a small sound of footsteps behind her.

"Lucia!"

Lucia turned her head and saw Emma trotting over, smiling and winking at her.

Emma bumped her gently with her shoulder, "Who is that handsome guy just now?"

Lucia was a little nervous for some reason, "A...

friend."

"Really?"

Emma gossiped and smiled at her, "You guys look so good together! I thought he was your boyfriend."

Lucia was a little shy and said quickly, "Don't say anything nonsense!"

The two of them laughed and talked as they arrived at their department.

Before Lucia had a chance to enter the office, a colleague reminded her, "Lucia, the phone on your desk just rang.' "Okay.

Thank you."

Lucia responded and hurried back to the office.

Then she flipped through the missed calls on her landline and she realized it was the company's internal line.

After glancing at the familiar last number, she found that it was the president's office calling.

Without saying a word, she immediately picked up the phone and called back, "Hello? This is Lucia from the Administration Department Mary's calm voice came from the other end of the phone, "Lucia, please send the minutes of the morning meeting and President Adams is waiting for them."

Lucia hurriedly responded, "Okay, I'll send them over right away."

After hanging up the phone, she looked at the minutes of the meeting that had not yet been finished and was a little anxious The minutes hadn't been requested in such a hurry before.

Why did August want her to send them so soon? Without thinking too much, Lucia immediately began to rush the work.

After finishing up hastily, she immediately got up to go to the President's Office.

After arriving, Lucia took a deep breath and raised her hand to knock on the door.

Hearing the voice inside, she pushed the door in Seeing August looking at the documents, Lucia stepped forward and handed himn the minutes of the meeting.

"President Adams, here are the minutes you asked for."

She put the minutes of the meeting on the corner of the desk, but the man who was flipping through the documents with his head down did not react at all.

Lucia stood in front of the desk and did not dare to leave without permission, so she had to wait.

Finally, August signed his name on the signature line at the end of the document before he slowly put down the pen and looked up at her.

His gaze was so cold and deep that Lucia couldn't guess what he was thinking and didn't dare to meet his eyes.

Lucia took a deep breath, drooped his eyes, and said softly, "These are the minutes of the meeting."

Casually picking up the minutes and flipping them open to read a few pages, August frowned, "This is the meeting minutes you made?"

Lucia took a deep breath and looked up at him, "Is there a problem?"

Putting down the minutes, August scowled and was about to speak when he saw the knee of the woman at the desk.

With a cold light crossing his eyes, August looked up and stared at Lucia, saying, "There are so many problems.

Which one do you want to hear?"

Lucia froze, not understanding the meaning of his words, "What?"

Without saying a word, August got up and stepped straight toward her.

With August getting closer to her, Lucia didn't dare to step back or meet his eyes, so she had to drop her eyes to August's apple and swallowed nervously.

August's voice with questioning sounded overhead, "First, why don't you deal with the knee injury?"

Hearing his question, Lucia was a little surprised.

She looked up to meet the man's melancholy gaze and for a moment did not know how to answer him, "I..."

The injury on her leg was the bruise from the fall in the meeting today.

She had red marks and bruising on her knee, but it wasn't serious as it didn't break the skin.

Plus, she had been busy, so she didn't have time to treat it.

Looking into Lucia's clear eyes, August became even more annoyed when he remembered her and the other man walking side by side in front of the company at noon.

He reached out and clutched the woman's wrist, pulling her directly toward the couch next to him.

"What are you going to do...?"

Lucia immediately some panic.

He even touched her in the office.

What if someone saw them? She tried to break away from him, but the strength of men and women was so different that she could not resist and was pulled by him to the couch. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

With weight on her shoulders, she was pressed into a seat.

"Don't move."

The simple two words carried invisible oppression, and Lucia did not dare to move around.

August sat down beside her as well.

Then he reached out and squeezed her ankle with one hand and lifted her leg up Lucia was like an electric shock, "What are you-you doing?"
