Submit To The Boss Lucia And August Novel Chapter 50 – With that, Lucia picked up the glass and drank the full glass of fruit wine in
one go.
The cold liquid slid down her throat and into her stomach, and the spicy taste
lingered in her mouth.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
They didn’t expect Lucia, who usually looked very weak, to be able to drink
such a large glass of wine in one gulp.
Swallowing the last sip of wine, Lucia turned her empty glass over to
everyone, “And thank you all for taking care of me in general.”
When she finished, Guy applauded.
The male colleagues followed suit and praised her, “You really have a high
tolerance for alcohol.”
When Lucia sat down after drinking, Emma came over and said in a low
voice, “Lucia, why do you take it seriously? You drank so much in one gulp!
You know Guy and the male colleagues who like to make a fuss and it’s okay
if you don’t drink!”
Lucia smiled at her, “It’s okay.”
After she drank a glass of wine, the hot feeling in her stomach made her feel
a little comfortable.
At the table, everyone was playing together, toasting each other, and playing
guessing at the end.
Looking at the lively crowd, Lucia sat in the corner and silently drank glass
after glass of wine.
Although the sweet and sour fruit wine was not strong, the after-effects slowly
came up after she unknowingly drank a few glasses.
Lucia’s cheeks warmed up and her head was dizzy.
Emma, who had been sitting next to her, was also dragged away to drink.
She sat there drinking alone, and unknowingly drank half of the wine in the
bottle in her hand, Unconsciously a little dizzy, Lucia patted her cheeks, got
up, and went to the bathroom to wash her face to wake up a little.
Then she slowly walked out, but when she reached the corridor, she turned
around and left after looking at the private room not far away She did not
want to go back to the chaotic private room and just wanted to be alone.
Even if she didn’t go back, her colleagues won’t know.
Since her promotion, colleagues in the department had distanced themselves
from her, and she was more comfortable on her own.
Down the stairs, Lucia took a deep breath and walked around to a backyard.
The backyard was large, with greenery on both sides and a large pool in the
middle.
The courtyard was quiet, and Lucia walked to the pool in the evening breeze
and slowly walked forward.
At that moment, the cell phone in her pocket suddenly rang.
She took it out and saw the word “August”
jumping on the screen, and for some reason, she didn’t want to answer it at
all.
Turning off the screen, she held the phone and slowly walked along the pool.
A short while later, the phone rang again.
Lucia took it out and saw that it was still August calling! After a moment of
hesitation, she finally answered the 1 phone and casually put the phone to
her ear, “Hello?”
“Where are you?”
The man’s voice was as deep and nice as ever, but it was flat and
unemotional.
Lucia took a deep breath and said gamely, “It’s none of your business.”
August on the other end of the phone froze for a moment, then asked again
patiently.
“Where were you? Burton said you weren’t in the private room.”
Lucia said word for word, “You don’t need to know…”
After being denied twice in a row, August noticed something was wrong and
frowned, “Have you been drinking?”
“No!”
Lucia denied it categorically and hung up August’s phone without even
thinking about it driven by alcohol.
Lucia was indeed a little angry that he still ate with another woman when he
was married to her.
She angrily turned off her phone and put it directly into her pocket, shaking
and continuing to walk forward.
Suddenly, there were light footsteps behind her and before Lucia could react,
she felt someone push her to the side! woman With a loud “thump”, Lucia felt
instantly wrapped in cold liquid and sank unconsciously! Did she-she fall into
the pool? She couldn’t swim! Lucia fluttered in the pool but still sank.
What’s more, her arms and legs were a bit out of control after her drinking, so
al choked several times in the emergency! “Help-help!”
At this moment, the desire to survive prevailed.
Lucia kept struggling and her face was getting redder… Suddenly, there was
a “thump” in the pool, and then Lucia felt herself being lifted up.
The next second, she lost consciousness, and everything went black.
In the luxurious private room, August was sitting at the table looking at
various dishes, with little appetite, and listening to the conversation with little
interest.
Several senior leaders of the company were laughing and chatting while
Adeline was sitting on the side.
Noticing August’s displeasure, someone next to him smiled and asked,
“Mr.Adams, what’s wrong? Is the food not to your liking?”
August opened his thin lips and he said lightly, “No.I’m not very hungry and
you guys eat.”
The crowd nodded and continued to drink and chat.
Adeline kept looking at August, and after a few moments, she poured herself
a glass of wine and looked at August with a seductive smile, “Mr.Adams,
would you like to have a drink with me?”
August looked up at her lightly and was about to lift his glass when suddenly,
the door of the private room was pushed open.
Burton came in in a panic.
After nodding to the crowd, he immediately approached August and lowered
his voice to August’s ear, “Mr.Adams, Mrs.Adams fell in the water!”
August’s face was slightly somber, “What’s going on?”
He had just talked to her on the phone.
How could she be in an accident all of a sudden? Burton said in a rush,
“Mrs.Adams fell into the pool.But she is fine and she is in her room now.”
August got up and nodded to the crowd, “Excuse me, I have something to do,
so I have to go now.”
With that, he took a big step toward the outside.
If something happened to Lucia, then Jeanne’s operation would have to be
postponed, and all his hard work would have been for nothing! Walking out of
the private room, he asked in a deep voice, “What happened?”
Burton said as he walked away, “It seems Mrs. Adams had a drink and fell
into the pool. A waiter saw that and rescued her.”
At these words, August scowled.
She had indeed been drinking! After hurrying to Lucia’s room, August pushed
the door and saw a doctor and several waiters gathered in the room.
Lucia was lying on the bed, already awake, but her face was a bit pale.
August walked up and asked the doctor, “How is she doing?”
The doctor at the hotel whispered, “She has spitted out the water she was
choking on.It’s just that she seemed a little shaken up and didn’t speak for a
long time.”
August looked up at the dazed woman on the bed, feeling a little complicated.
He paused and then glanced at the people next to her, “You all go out.”
At this time, she needed a quiet environment more than anything else.
After the doctor and the waiters went out wordlessly, August walked to the
door and told Burton in a deep voice, “Go check if there’s anything unusual
about her falling into the water.”
Burton hurriedly answered, “Yes.”
After Burton left, August closed the door and strode over to the bed.
Lucia was lying on the bed with her eyes closed.
August pulled a chair aside, sat down on the edge of the bed, and asked,
“How do you feel now?”
Lucia did not answer, but pulled the quilt and covered her head.
