Submit To The Boss Lucia And August Novel Chapter 772 – The confrontation.
Just when the grass sprouted, Jamie and Skylar’s wedding was held as scheduled. August appeared at the wedding in a pure black suit, and Lucia was tidying up his necktie.
Skylar, who was about to enter the ceremony hall, looked at the appearance of two people, rolled her eyes, and blurted out, “Today is my wedding day. You two are sure lovey-dovey. A gorgeous woman and an attractive man. Other than us, you two appear to be a married couple”.
Lucia tidied up August’s tie and urged him to perform his own business. Then she turned around and replied, “If you still don’t go in now, maybe Jamie can’t stand the loneliness anymore and hook up with the beautiful sister at the wedding scene.”
“How dare he!” Skylar frowned at the words. The wedding song slowly sounded. The pure white gold-encrusted gate was slowly pushed open. Skylar immediately straightened her back and made a slow approach to the carpet. Jamie reached out and clasped her hand in his.
The two then took coordinated steps to the center of the stage. While Lucia was quietly looking at this scene, a smile landed on her face.
Unconsciously, the scene when she was marrying August came to her mind.
She couldn’t help but cast sidelong glances at August in the distance. A familiar voice full of surprises suddenly rang in her ear as she was going to stroll over to August. “Lucia? It’s really you!”
Edmund walked over to her with a red wine glass and elegant pace, his eyes were filled with unmistakable joy. Lucia was slightly
dazed. Her face also showed an incredible expression,
“Why are you here?”
“There is work contact between Mr. Nordhaus and me. Naturally, I should come
and give him a hand when he finds a lover.” Edmund explained in a soft voice.
“Work contact?” Lucia kept a nice smile on her face and asked, “By the way, may
I ask where you work?”
Edmund didn’t keep it a secret. He raised his glass and responded, “A public
servant in Austos City. It’s not a rich or notable profession.
It happened that some documents of Mr. Nordhaus had to be submitted to the
audit authority, so we got to know each other.”
A trace of surprise flashed through Lucia’s eyes. Paula’s words suddenly came
up to her mind.
Betterea primary school….
Mr. Shea
Mr. Shea, one of the two giants of Austos City!
Just standing before me?!
Lucia secretly muttered in her heart that all people could not be judged by their
appearances.
Edmund appeared refined and courteous. Lucia thought he was from a scholarly
family or engaged in literary and artistic work.
Unexpectedly, he turned out to be an iron-and-blood head.
Edmund didn’t give much attention to what she was pondering. Instead, he
looked at her with a light smile and said slowly, “It seems that you are also a
good friend of Mr. and Ms. Nordhaus, Bridesmaid is quite a hard errand.”
The admiration in Edmund’s eyes was undisguised, “It’s a nice dress, but it
doesn’t suit you.”
Lucia cast her gaze down at her costume. The high-heeled sandals and the short
pink bridesmaid dress complemented the wedding decor without becoming
flashy. In no way did it overshadow the bride. What was wrong with it?
The corner of Edmund’s mouth displayed a refined smile. He passed a red wine
glass before her eyes. When he extended his hand once again, a pink crystal
necklace appeared at the graceful fingertips.
While looking at Edmund in a puzzle, Lucia covered her neck with her hand
unconsciously and realized that her neck was empty. “Actually, I’ve always
wanted to offer this to you since I last saw you, but sadly I’ve never had the
chance to meet you again.” Edmund stated gently, “Fortunately, I take it along
and can take advantage of this occasion to present it to you today.” The crystal
necklace reflected dazzling light against the light Lucia involuntarily stepped back several steps.
She waved her hand, refusing,
“Mr. Shea, this gift is too expensive for me to accept.” Edmund followed her
footsteps forward and responded softly, “This is a thank you gift that I prepared to
thank you for taking care of
Phillip. Phillip picked it out on his own. He’d be overjoyed to learn that you
accepted this gift, I’m sure.”
Lucia’s resistance evidently reduced when she heard the name “”. Before she
could speak again, Edmund had locked her in the center of his arms and put on
the necklace on her elegant neck.
Lucia’s slim figure suddenly stiffened. For the time being, neither avoiding nor not
dodging seemed appropriate.
While Lucia was up a tree, August’s bitter voice suddenly sounded in these two,
“What are you doing?”
At this moment, the necklace had been put on. Lucia rushed back several steps
to keep a distance from Edmund. Then she approached
August, naturally took his arm, and generously introduced, “August, this is
Phillip’s father, Mr. Edmund.”
“So you are Phillip’s father…”
The photos that had been received poured into August’s mind. He looked awein
spiring at the man in front of him and slowly held out his hand.
The two men clasped hands and seemed to be testing each other’s bottom line in
the dark.
There was a chill in the air and Lucia couldn’t help shivering. She hurried forward
to hold August’s hand, forcing the two hands to separate.
August’s eyes slowly landed on her neck and whispered, “Nice necklace.”
Lucia’s face changed slightly when she heard this. She gave him a glare,
signaling him not to get jealous indiscriminately. Then she lowered her voice and
explained, “Mr. Shea said it was a gift from Phillip, so…”
Before she finished her explanation, Skylar’s gentle voice suddenly sounded in
the center of the stage. “I want to give today’s bridal bouquet to a very important
person. Her name is Lucia, but for her, there would be no wedding today.”
While saying this, Skylar waved at Lucia and motioned her to the center of the
stage. She had no time to say more and hurried over. Looking at her hasty figure,
with a spurious smile, Edmund slowly said, “Mr. Adams would not be stingy
enough to mind a child’s gift, right?”
“Children are simple-minded, but adults are not necessarily so.” August’s
response was awe-inspiring., “I’m not interested in gifts. from others. Not
everyone is interested in others’ belongings.”
While taking in the context of August’s comments, Edmund burst out laughing
instead of getting angry. Edmund slowly glanced at August with an air of
provocation and remarked, “But I am really interested in others’ belongings.”
“I was unable to flatter Mr. Shea’s hobby. Contradictions of thoughts defriend us.”
A chill gradually emerged in August’s eyes and a heavy voice warned, “Some
forbidden zones are untouchable.”
At this moment, on the stage not far away, Skylar had handed over the
microphone and bridal bouquet to Lucia.
Lucia cleared her throat. After expressing her blessing, she slowly turned her
gentle eyes to August and said softly, “At this moment, I hope that my husband
and I can bless the new couple and accept this bridal bouquet together.”
The moment August heard it, the cold light in his eyes was gradually replaced by
tenderness. He slowly stepped on the carpet and walked in Lucia’s direction.
At the moment of passing by Edmund, he spoke indifferently, “I am the one who
is qualified to stand beside her.”
Edmund’s triumphant smile on his face suddenly froze. He sneered in a low voice
and responded, “I don’t care whether she is married.
What if I am not qualified to stand beside her? Maybe Lam qualified to sleep
beside her.”
