Submit To The Boss Lucia And August Novel Chapter 781 – A cocktail party of the political circle
Today’s Austos International Hotel was not as bustling as it used to be. After all, it was a party of political circles, not as relaxing and lively as a business party. Soothing music slowly sounded in the hall. People in suits were whispering to each other with their heads down.
Lucia stood side by side with Edmund. They kept a certain distance from each other. There seemed to be some alienation between them. Lucia held orange juice in her hand. All the people who came to make a toast to Lucia were stopped by Edmund.
A few people standing nearby were quipping with a fawning look and in a socializing manner. “Usually Edmund never communicates with the opposite sex. I thought he was a workaholic, but I didn’t expect his heart to belong to her.”
“We all know a thing or two about Ms. Mitchell. It is readily favored by us that you two could be buddies given the outstanding qualities of people in your circles.” “Today, we are lucky to see a joint effort between the commercial circle and the political circle.
If Edmund and Ms. Mitchell have any good news, remember to share it with us.” People spoke with the intention of flattering Edmund and even made a direct connection between Edmund and Lucia. Lucia felt awkward when she heard these words.
Lucia raised her glass apologetically and pointed to the rest area not far away. Edmund quickly found an excuse for her and told her to go and have a rest. After completing the false courtesy with them, Edmund walked over to Lucia, “Please don’t mind it if they have said something that is offensive.
We are acquainted with each other. These folks don’t mean any harm.” Lucia nodded slightly and didn’t take over his topic. The displeasure on her face
was quite clear, “What I promised Mr. Shea has been done. Mr. Shea could just go and talk with your friends.
There is no need to take special care of me.”
Displeasure crept into Edmund’s eyes when he heard this, but he managed to
hold them back very soon. When he looked at Lucia again, he remained humble
and elegant, and responded softly, “Don’t hesitate to let me know if you come
across anything tricky.”
He spoke in a light tone. The unpleasantness on Lucia’s face, however, didn’t
diminish. She looked around and fixed her eyes on a bright yellow figure. Then
her eyes flashed a bright light.
At this moment, a woman in a bright yellow dress was surrounded by several
highly privileged women. Except for the woman in the center of the crowd who
looked in a very low spirit, all the other madames appeared in a good mood.
On such an occasion, everyone dared not make a loud noise. But anyone who
had discerning eyes could see what was going on. It was just that no one dared
to step in.
Lucia slowly approached and barely heard what they were talking about.
“I heard that Mr. Halms hung out with popular stars the other day. Why did he
bring you here, an elderly woman who had lost your attractiveness?”
“Mr. Halms is really kind-hearted. He has been able to persist until now without
divorcing you. I wouldn’t bring an elderly woman like you out to humiliate myself.”
“Who doesn’t know that Mr. Halms is hypocritical on the surface? Obviously, such
an abandoning of his wife will not be made public.
Maybe they two have already divorced.”
These words were met with a wave of low, mocking laughter.
Holding the glass tightly with her fingertips, Lucia took a deep breath and walked
toward them. She pulled out a smile and gently said, “What are you ladies
doing?”
Hearing this, these women cast their eyes at Lucia. All of them were wary in
some way. They asked in a cold voice, “Who are you?”
“Lucia.” She raised her glass and continued, “Wife of August Adams.”
These women glanced at each other when they heard the words. Obviously, they
were somehow overwhelmed by her identity.
Although commercial circles and political circles were different in standpoint,
August Adams was widely known in political circles. People with this high-level
status had the opportunity to help each other, and they didn’t want to risk
offending an available money owner.
“So you are Mrs. Adams. I often see your news on the Internet. It’s an honor to
meet you today.”
“It’s a party of the political circle, Mrs. Adams. I’m afraid it’s not appropriate for
Mrs. Adams to join the fun, is it?”
Lucia could see the intense hostility in the tone of these madams. But instead of
getting angry, Lucia smiled and said in a mild manner, “Ladies, someone
entrusted me, so I attend this party today. It was an invitation from Mr. Shea has
an intention. It will be quite rude for me to turn him down.”
These women were more overwhelmed after Lucia’s mention of Edmund. After
giving Lucia some false courtesy, they rushed to leave for fear of causing any
trouble.
Mrs. Halms quietly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw these madames
hastily flee away in all directions. She cast her grateful eyes on Lucia, “Thank
you, Mrs. Adams, for helping me out.”
Lucia didn’t mean to beat around the bush and responded softly, “Frankly
speaking, I have self-centered motives when trying to help you out because I
have something to ask you for help.”
Mrs. Halms had a puzzle in her eyes at the words. She pulled out a helpless
smile, “My husband has a small position, so I’m afraid there’s nothing I can do for
you.”
“I’m here, so naturally I’m prepared.” Lucia made a gesture of “this way please”
as she spoke. Then the two of them walked in tandem to the sitting area nearby.
