Submit To The Boss Lucia And August Novel Chapter 831 – Playing the Victim
After a crisp echo resounded in the silent lavatory, Currer looked at her numb palm in a daze. She had just wanted to scare Lucia because the latter could
dodge the slap easily. Why had she… Currer suddenly realized something, so she glared at Lucia and shouted sharply, “You did it on purpose!”
Lucia turned aside to face the mirror, stared at the bloodstains on her face with satisfaction, and asked nonchalantly, “Don’t talk nonsense! Do you mean I asked you to slap me with all your strength?” “I…” Yes, no one would believe it was Lucia that had intentionally induced her into slapping herself.
Currer was dumbfounded. Suddenly, Lucia chuckled, turned around, and raised an eyebrow, saying, “It seems that you’re not that stupid. At least, you can tell I did it on purpose.” Lucia, your methods impressed me.”
Lucia snorted, “It’s useless to pretend calm in front of me. Think about how to explain to those two men when we return to the office.”
Then, she intentionally partially covered the wound and slowly walked to the door.
Currer’s face turned serious when she hurriedly blocked her way and said, “You can’t go back! Get out of the company right now! Otherwise, I will teach you a good lesson!” Although she was trying her best to conceal her emotions, Lucia could still see she was extremely nervous.
Are you threatening me?” Lucia couldn’t help sneering, “If you don’t like me, you can give me one more slap. Open your eyes to size up the current situation. Now it’s up to me to decide whether to let you go.”
Currer instantly froze, uncontrollably clenched her fists, and looked at Lucia with monstrous hatred in her eyes. Meeting her scary gaze, Lucia still boldly approached her and whispered word by word, “I can leave the company right now, but I suggest you think about the consequences carefully.
If she returned to the office now, Reggio would ask her about the wound in herface and give Currer a hard time. But if she did no t go back, Reggio would take all the responsibility on himself and try his best to make up. If so, it would be easy for her to manipulate him with this matter.
Currer understood it more clearly than Lucia, so she felt torn now. Before she could come up with a solution, Lucia lightly continued, “If I can influence Reggio, I will get back everything that should have belonged to me. You owe me a lot, and I will make you repay double.”
Listening to her speaking, Currer lowered her eyes, kept stepping backward, and finally bumped into the door behind with a “bang”. Lucia narrowed his eyes slightly and strode out of the lavatory through the gap beside.
There was a thick pile of documents on the desk in the office, containing all the information about Lucia and her family. Naturally, her experience in Griffith Organization was also included. She had stayed in Griffith Organization for only two months.
After she had been expelled, she had drawn a clear line with the organization. So, she had long had
nothing to do with them.
Pushing the door open, Lucia looked at the documents, showed a sarcastic smile
on her lips, and said, “Reggio, I overestimated you. I didn’t expect you to be so
impatient.”
Lucia, what happened before is a misunderstanding. I will give you an
explanation. Don’t worry,” Reggio hurried forward to explain. But before he could
touch her, she pushed away his arm in mid-air, glared at him with disgust, and
said, “Misunderstanding? You cut off our friendship the moment deciding to
investigate me.”
Please let me explain…” He abruptly paused, intensely stared at her side face
with burning rage in his eyes, and then said, “Your face…”
When Lucia heard this, her eyes immediately turned red. Then, she turned her
head aside and covered the wound with her hair.
Although choking with sobs, she still stubbornly held her head high when saying,
“Thanks to you, everyone is humiliating me now. Are you satisfied?”
Before she could finish speaking, tears flowed down her round chin. With undried
tear stains on her delicate face, she looked extremely attractive.
Reggio felt so anxious that he immediately stretched out to pull her into his arms.
She pretended to fail to break from his arms after a fake struggle, rested her
head on his shoulder, and began to sob aggrievedly.
“You went out with Lucia just now. What happened?” Reggio asked and then
looked at Currer coldly.
Currer was at a loss for words. When she was about to ask August for help, she
found his eagle-like eyes staring at Lucia. Suddenly, she felt a sting in her heart
and gritted her teeth hard as if intending to crush her teeth.
“Currer, you’d better give me an explanation. Otherwise, you will be kicked out of
this mission. I will assign it to August and others.”
Reggio didn’t regard Lucia as an outsider at all because he had talked about the
overseas mission in front of her. Although he had abruptly brought it up and
confused everyone, he was actually reassuring Lucia with a hint.
Currer’s feeling of unease grew stronger, so she shook her shoulders slightly and
put on an aggrieved expression.
Lucia spotted her move with keen eyes in Reggio’s arms. So, she immediately
left his embrace with sobs, quickly walked in front of Currer seemingly
protectively, and said, “It’s not her fault. I am to blame for having no sense of
propriety. I shouldn’t have come to discuss cooperation with you at such a time or
appeared in front of her boyfriend. It’s understandable that she misunderstood
me.”
Lucia kept sobbing with an aggrieved expression, looking even more pitiful now.
After a while, she comforted Reggio, saying, “I said I don’t want to cooperate with
you in a fit of anger. I don’t mean it! I don’t want such a trivial matter to affect the
development of your company. Next time, we will meet and talk in private. I
should not have acted so presumptuously today.”
Reggio immediately pulled her into his arms again, pointed at Currer with raging
anger in his blue eyes, and warned in a cold voice, “Lucia is my woman and
future wife. If you dare to hurt her again, I will punish you severely.”
Reggio, don’t scold Miss Sullen. I will make friends with her in the future.”
Lucia forced a smile and comforted Reggio at the right time, looking like a smart
and broad-minded woman who looked at the big picture.
Now, Reggio was furious but could not vent his anger, so he intensely stared at
Currer with a murderous look in his eyes, but the latter could only see Lucia and
August now.
Seeing this, August felt a knot in his chest, wondering why Lucia liked attaching
herself to people in power so much. To meet her shallow desires, she had no
morals now? Every time Reggio declared his sovereignty over her, August felt
heartbroken as if his heart was pierced by a thorn.
After Lucia had stirred things up in the office, she left the battlefield without blood
with her head down as if she had been greatly wronged. After walking out of the
office, she gently wiped the tears off her face and revealed a mocking smile.
Currer was not the only woman who could play the victim. She could do it too!
