Submit To The Boss Lucia And August Novel Chapter 771 – face-to-face with death.
“I’m sorry. I sincerely apologize…” Emma’s tears rustled like beads that were falling off a broken thread. At this point, all she could manage to say was, “I’m sorry.” Lucia felt constricted in her heart when she saw Emma like this. A searing ache tore through her chest.
She asked in a low voice, unable to conceal the disappointment in her eyes, “Why did you betray me? Did Paul ask you to do it?”
“No, please don’t push me. I really can’t say it.” Emma continued to sniffle, her body slowly slipped down the wall.
Her face was filled with pain as she clutched her head in her arms. Emma plotted against Lucia with someone in Cloud Technology. Paul was the
only person she suspected. How crazy was this man that he would make use of the most important person in her life to send her to hell!!
Lucia cast a downward glance at Emma’s hurt expression. Unconsciously, Lucia tightened her fingers. “You could leave now,” Lucia finally murmured, choking, after a long time. Emma gave a loud cry. She looked up with red eyes and looked at her in disbelief.
“It’s up to you whether you go to Cloud Technology or other companies. I won’t reveal this matter. You can be at ease and change your job smoothly.” There was a strong sense of powerlessness in Lucia’s voice.
“Lucia…” Hearing this, Emma hurriedly grabbed Lucia’s hem and begged in a low voice, “I’m not leaving. Please don’t drive me away. I will never do such a thing again. Please give me one more chance. The company project hasn’t been finished yet. I …” “Project?” Lucia gave a bitter smile.
“You may relax knowing
that. Your name will appear on the projects; this won’t have an impact on your
performance or reputation. I’ll look out for your best interests. Are you delighted
this time around?
“It’s not like that.” Emma coughed a few times and muttered, “I want to help you
settle the follow-up issues.”
“I don’t need it!” A loud roar sounded and echoed in the fire passageway for a
long while.
Lucia adjusted her mood, pushed her hand away indifferently, took a deep
breath, and said in a cold voice, “From now on, you live your life, and I’ll live
mine! We’re not going to meddle in each other’s business!”
Again, the violent cough sounded. Emma clenched her eyes in anguish and
vigorously stroked her chest. A mouthful of blood suddenly gushed out of her
mouth before she could speak again.
The shockingly bright red blood stunned onlookers.
Lucia’s face suddenly changed and immediately squatted down to hold Emma’s
shoulder, “What’s going on, Emma?”
Emma waved her hand helplessly and struggled to smile consolingly before her
eyes slowly closed. Her hand that was dangling in the air eventually fell on
Lucia’s body aimlessly.
“Emma” Lucia exclaimed, scrambling to call Burton, and went straight to People’s
Hospital.
With a deathly pale face, Emma was lying in the hospital bed, appearing bitterly
painful.
Anxiety clouded Lucia’s face. Lucia stayed quietly at Emma’s bedside, wiping the
sweat from Emma’s forehead from time to time while the doctor’s words kept
echoing in her mind.
“The patient needs good rest now. She is now in the terminal stage of the
disease. How can she still carry out such high-intensity work?
The most important thing right now is to get enough rest.”
“It was too late to be cured when she was diagnosed. Now the medicine can only
keep her breathing. She will no longer be cured. If it’s in her best interest, let her
loved ones know to expect the unexpected.”
A low cough sounded in Lucia’s ear, pulling her back to reality from her memory.
She anxiously held Emma’s hand and nervously asked,
“Are you awake? Do you feel uncomfortable? Is there anything you want to eat?”
Emma looked at the ward carefully, then pulled out a bitter smile on her face.
Emma looked at Lucia’s sad face and asked in a low voice,
“You know it all?”
Lucia lowered her eyes and nodded gently.
Emma coughed a few more times and then explained, weakly breathing, “I know
I was wrong to betray you. I just want to live. But now I’ve figured it out. I
shouldn’t live so selfishly. After all, everyone has his own destiny.”
As Emma spoke, she raised her hand and slowly stroked Lucia’s cheek. With a
soft smile on her face, Emma said, “I don’t want to face death with guilt.
Fortunately, you are OK.”
“I know it. Actually, I don’t blame you at all. Don’t worry, I will definitely ask August
to find the best doctor to save you.” Lucia’s eyes turned red instantly, holding
Emma’s hand while sobbing.
“I know my body,” Emma said with a feeble headshake, “Don’t carry out these
pointless actions. Go back to the company quickly.”
The next moment, Emma pulled her hand out of Lucia’s hand and clenched her
eyes, refusing to take another look at Lucia
Lucia understood what was on Emma’s mind and didn’t want her to fret
over these matters any longer. As she made her way to the ward. door, she kept
turning around to see Emma.
The door lock clicked and Emma’s weak voice slowly sounded, “Lucia, I’ve
worked in Lion group for seven years and grown up in the administration
department step by step. I hope you can keep this position that I love.”
Lucia didn’t respond to her words. She gently closed the ward door, leaned
weakly against the door panel, clenched her lower lip, and sobbed.
Just after Christmas Eve, Lucia received a message from Emma’s parents. She
hardly had time to process her grief before she named a new employee to take
over as director of the administration department.
She specifically picked Emma’s assistant, who received a promotion when Emma
was the director. She was a young lady who shared Emma’s demeanor. She
worked for a number of years in the Lion Group’s administration department and
adored it just as much as Emma did.
After Lucia settled the matters, Skylar’s calls kept pouring in, all about the
wedding preparations.
Lucia ran around like a gyro every day, whining at Skylar again and again, “After
you get married, I will be completely relieved.” Skylar was trying on a wedding
dress with alacrity. When she heard this, she immediately pursed her mouth, “If it
weren’t for the tight urging of both parents, how could I have stepped into the
grave of love so early?”
“Aren’t you afraid of being beaten when you say such things to a married
woman?” Lucia couldn’t help rolling her eyes. “According to what you said, the
grass in my grave is already three meters high.”
Skylar approached and leaned over to Lucia with a sweet smile, “That’s because
you behave yourself. Jamie and I are different from you. The thought of staying
away from other boys and girls later makes us both want to weep disconsolately.”
Jamie happened to walk out of the fitting room beside them before the words
finished. Jamie and Skylar were equally astounded after viewing each other’s
appearances. They each had a flush.
It took a long time for Jamie to stumble and say, “I won’t argue with you because
you’re so gorgeous today. If you mention the old matters again, I’ll let the old man
lock you up later.”
“If there is one of us to be locked, then you are the one. Don’t take it as I don’t
know about it. The other day, you had just gone to hook up with other little
sisters. I saw everything!” Skylar feigned to be angry, her fists gripping her waist.
“I was talking about business there, and…” Jamie paused and asked with an
angry look, “How did you see it?”
“I.
Looking at the flirting couple, Lucia smiled warmly while shaking her head
helplessly.
