Submit To The Boss Lucia And August Novel Chapter 699 – Carrying Out the Plan
Carrying Out the Plan Being afraid the fact would be too harsh a blow to Burton, Lucia didn’t begin discussing her experience in the afternoon
with August until Burton had left. Seeing August’s poker face as though the matter had produced no ripple in his heart,
Lucia couldn’t help urging, “I know you have your concern over the relationship between Paula and Paul. But I just can’t sit by and watch!” “I didn’t say I won’t help.” He gave Lucia a calm glance. “But the situation is tougher than I expected.”
Though not as rich as Adams family, the Thomas family at least had its exalted position in Austos City, and the security system of their
house wouldn’t go with many loopholes. It was definitely not an easy task to rescue Paula.
But August knew it was a mission he had to take, either for the sake of Lucia or Burton.”Are you sure you are going to stand on Paula’s side?” August reminded Lucia with a noncommittal look. “
Mind you, that is equivalent to a declaration of war against Paul, and you two…” “Then just declare the war!” Lucia confirmed with great resolution. “Paul is no long who I knew. What I care about now is only my friendship with Paula, definitely not with him.”
What Paul had committed was unforgivable in Lucia’s eyes, though he had done her many favors too, which she decided to repay in other means
instead of tolerating his misdoings. Having wearing a scowl on his face for a whole day, August finally appeared relieved now.
He went up to Lucia slowly and said lightly, “I’m glad that you are not blinded by something.” Being blinded? Lucia paused and gave him a questioning stare until it finally dawned on her what he meant. Lucia then looked at August with resignation, “You’ve got your wife and kids with you now.
How come you are still insecure?”
August didn’t reply to that question. Instead, he cleared his throat and was about
to call Burton up, yet was stopped by
Lucia.
“Just lend me some hands, and Daryl will help me as an inside source, because
if Burton and you butt in this matter, I’m
afraid Paul will be exasperated when he gets to know it.” explained Lucia.
August agreed understandingly. He thus suggested, “Take Zane and Kylan with
you. They’ve got some well-trained staff
recently, all new faces too, less likely to be spotted.”
Lucia and Daryl then spent the whole night doing rehearsal for the next day’s
rescue plan. Lucia even managed to hold a
conversation with Paula to make it better prepared.
When the day was breaking, Daryl crept into Paula’s room. Paula hadn’t had any
sleep either, only curling up in a tight
ball at the corner, with her knees tucked up and held by her arms. She was
staring blankly at the stars that were going to
disappear in the day light.
“There you are.” Paula said lightly, hearing the sound of the door, though without
any movement.
“You didn’t sleep, as I’ve guessed…” Daryl had got used to such a status of
Paula. She went up and sat beside Paula with the same posture with her as usual.
“Lucia and I have confirmed the plan. We
couldn’t sleep, nor do I think you will.” “Thank you for venturing all that for me.”
Paula’s voice was hoarse because she hadn’t opened her mouth for too long.
Daryl cast a worried look at Paula, and a sense of poignancy clutched at her
heart. She stretched out her arms to hold
Paula onto her legs. “You should thank Lucia. I’m not doing this with all my
heart.” Daryl explained honestly. “You should actually try to please him by
guarding me.” Paula mocked. “But what you are doing now will only get him to
hate you, and ruin the prospect of your relationship with him.”
“I’ve long discarded that extravagant hope.” Daryl replied bitterly. “The only wish
of mine now is he could stop doing
what would get him regretful in the future.”
Paula didn’t make any further comment. As time went by, she closed her eyes
slowly and her breathing began to get
even.
“Things will turn better from tomorrow, and the vivacious and cheerful Paula will
return.” Daryl whispered. When Paula

had fallen asleep, Daryl called Lucia discreetly, “Paula will need medical help and
counseling to recover.”
Paul came to check on Paula in the morning, just to find the two women
snuggling up with each other and sleeping lightly. That gave him a sense of relief.
He thus instructed Dianna, “Take Miss Thomas to the yard for a walk today.
You
don’t need to watch her too closely from now on. Just keep her from going out or
contacting other people.” Light as his voice was, Daryl was still wakened and
thus clearly heard what he said. She then sent a message to Lucia
when the door was closed, [Plan is changed. Paula is now allowed to go to that
position.]
As their previous plan went, Daryl was to steer the servant away while Zane and
his staff infiltrated into the house in the
disguise of body guards after climbing over the wall. Daryl would replace the
guard at the gate with Zane when they were
changing the shifts, and then send Paula to the rear wall through the window
before they could finally flee away
together.
Since Paula now had the freedom to go to the rear wall, time and risk were largely
reduced, and when Paul found out what
had happened, Paula should have arrived at the safe zone.
Lucia informed Zane of the modification, and went waiting outside the rear wall, which was
the lowest part of the walls
that surrounded the Thomas’ house. They soon heard Daryl’s voice, “Dianna, could you
get some ginger soup for Miss
Thomas? She may get a chill easily in the yard when she’s suddenly exposed outdoors.
“Well…” Dianna hesitated. “Mrs. Thomas, what about bringing Miss Thomas back into her
room now and coming out
when the sun gets brighter…”
“Are you watching her or watching me?” Daryl’s tone suddenly got harsh. “Or you think I
could fly away with her from
the walled yard?”
Dianna was struck dumb. She could only go to the kitchen for the soup without dissent.
Lucia had been listening nervously and waiting for the cue. She then motioned her men to
take action as soon as her
phone buzzed as planned. They climbed over the wall and pushed the two women out
before everyone got into a van and
drove away.
Paula’s face seemed so pale when she sat in the van. Her emaciated body kept trembling
while huddling up with Lucia
tightly.
“Don’t be afraid, Paula. No one could hurt you any more.” Lucia stretched out her arms to
hold Paula. Yet the moment Lucia touched Paula, Paula just groaned with a wince.
Lucia gazed at
Paula’s arm for a moment before
she finally gingerly rolled up Paula’s sleeve. Astonishingly, there were scars, either new or
old, over all Paula’s thin arm. “Are these…?” Lucia took a gasp. Are these made by Paul?
“They two often stage rows, and Paul has imprisoned her in her room for so long.” Daryl
sighed. “Paula finally got
mental disorder and began self-inflicting.”
