Submit To The Boss Lucia And August Novel Chapter 119 – August answered in a cold voice when he saw her doubts.It was because Ted
drank the wine that was drugged by Irene.” Lucia’s body stiffened as soon as she heard these words.
So, it was like this. To ensure that everything went smoothly, Irene tailored the trap down to the finest detail.
If she hadn’t learned about this plan from August beforehand, she would have suffered greatly.
The cold rose from Lucia’s feet to her neck, her fists clenching lightly, and a layer of sweat unconsciously formed on her palms.
Seeing Lucia standing there without any reaction and her face turning pale, August slightly nodded and said,
“It is true that the evils they bring on hemselves are the hardest to bear.” The evil in Irene’s heart led her to design such a trap to harm others, but in
the end, she became her own victim. She was just fretting in her own grease. Lucia came back to her senses and did not say anything.
A palpitating heartbeat filled her as she sat down in a chair near her.
A long time ago, Mrs.Mitchell always told her this world was full of evil people,
but she never had that feeling.
This society’s darkness was now so evident to her that she could no longer
ignore it.
Looking at Lucia in a daze, August raised his hand and gently knocked on the
table.
“Eat your breakfast while it’s hot.If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first.”
After saying that, he stood up, put a box of ointment in the corner of the table,
and walked away.
The door closed with a bang.
As she slowly came to her senses, Lucia stared at the ointment on the table
with a complex feeling in her heart.
Having eaten breakfast, Lucia applied some ointment and noticed that it was
getting late, so she went straight to work with her handbag.
When she arrived at the entrance of the department, she met a few
colleagues who didn’t usually talk to her before, but she didn’t expect them to
take the initiative to greet her.
Lucia was a bit surprised.
Having pressed her fingerprint and punched the clock, she passed by the
public office area, where everyone stared at her strangely.
Walking quickly to her office, she looked in the mirror and couldn’t help but
talk to herself.
“It wasn’t like there was anything wrong with my face anyway!”
Why was everyone staring at her in such a strangling way? Not long after she
sat down, there was a knock at the door of her office and Emma pushed her
way in with an indefinable smile on her face.
In a rush, Lucia asked, “What’s wrong? Why is everyone looking at me like
this?”
Emma walked quickly towards her.
“Don’t you know the rumor about you and Mr.Stebbing has been cleared up?
Lucia froze and shook her head.As Emma walked over, she opened the
group message and flipped it over to her.
“Here, someone sent a surveillance video to the group, in which Irene
secretly took a picture of you and Mr.Stebbing.Since you sent Mr.Stebbing to
the car without following him, lrene’s photos were interpreted out of context
and intentionally led to misunderstanding.”
“Now that Irene and Mr.Stebbing’s amour has been exposed, everyone can
see that she took the photos of you and Mr.Stebbing to cover up for
them.Therefore, what happened before was clearly a misunderstanding of
you.”
Hearing Emma say this, Lucia looked at the video and also understood.
Once the surveillance was released, it proved there was no relationship
between her and Mr.Stebbing.
All people’s attention was focused on Irene after their amour was exposed,
and everyone naturally made it clear that the previous matter was a
misunderstanding, and she was innocent.
It did not take her long to realize that all of that was August’s work.
As part of their agreement, she helped August once, and he helped her clean
her name, which fulfilled the promise of mutual benefit and a win-win
situation.
“Lucia, what’s on your mind? Now that the misunderstanding has been
cleared up, aren’t you happy about that?”
Emma’s voice pulled her back to reality.
As she breathed deeply, she regained her senses, smiled at her, and said
softly, “I’m just a little surprised.”
Emma seemed more excited than she was.
“This is a good thing, you have to buy dinner! All right, hurry up with your
work, we will have a regular meeting later.Upon evaluation of the quarterly
assessment, the bonus should be delivered soon!”
She nodded and watched her walk out of the office.
Then Lucia realized why everyone’s attitude toward her had changed
significantly once she arrived at the office today.
No matter what, she should be grateful to August for this.
After a long day of work, it was already evening.
Having just negotiated an important program, August went back to his office,
and before he had a chance to drink water, he received a call from Essence
Hospital.
On the other end of the phone, the nurse sounded urgent.
“Mr.Adams, come here quickly.Miss Kelly simply refuses to eat anyway,
claiming that she wants to go on a hunger strike.She hadn’t even had a sip of
water all day.”
August raised an eyebrow after hearing that.
“What’s going on? Did someone provoke her?”
During their phone conversation last night, she seemed fine, so why did she
suddenly want to go on a hunger strike again?
“I have no idea and she was fine this morning.I don’t know what
happened.There was a phone call she took, and after that, she refused to eat
anything, and she wouldn’t talk.”
Hearing the anxious tone of the nurse, August frowned and answered in a
deep voice, “I’ll rush over.”
Immediately after hanging up the phone, he dialed Burton and rushed to
Essence Hospital.
The mood of Jeanne had been cloudy and unpredictable since she was
hospitalized.
For things to get better, he had to be by her side every time this happened.
When he arrived at the ward, Jeanne was sitting on the bed with both arms
hugging her knees, dazed and pale.
The sight of Jeanne in such a state made August’s heart hurt, and he stepped
forward immediately.
“Jeanne.”
As Jeanne turned her head to see August, her eyes shone with some
radiance, and she called him with some grievance, “August.”
Seeing her pitiful appearance, August felt hurt and depressed, as if he had
been struck by something.He still remembered that in the darkest time of his
life, the person who was by his side was Jeanne.
It would have been impossible for him to survive without her.
Walking up, he gently hugged her and couldn’t bear to see her in this state.
“Hmm? Why don’t you eat?”
“August, don’t you want me anymore?”
After saying that, Jeanne opened her arms to hug August.
The moment she lowered her head, a trace of cold light flashed across her
eyes.
This morning, one of her men called and said he saw August coming out of
an apartment, and not long after that, Lucia came out of it too! So, August
was with that woman last night! The moment she got the news, Jeanne’s
body was shaking with anger, but there was nothing she could do about it.
After all, she stayed sick for so long with this disease! She was sick, but that
didn’t mean anyone could take advantage of her situation and approach
August.
She instinctively knew Lucia would pose a threat to her the last time she saw
her in his office! Sure enough, she had become her rival, her rival in love!
August frowned, raised his hand, and patted her back.
“Jeanne, don’t think too much about it.”
Jeanne sobbed on his chest.
“August, I’m so useless! I can’t even be by your side because of my disease,
and now that I’m still in the hospital after the surgery, I’m really suffering…”
August lowered his head, looking at the woman in his arms, and his mood
became depressed.
“Jeanne, hang in there for a few more days and you’ll be discharged from the
hospital.”
After the surgery, Peter specifically instructed her to stay in the hospital for
observation for a few days, which was why August wasn’t in a rush to
discharge her.
Sobbing uncontrollably, Jeanne asked in a sad tone, “However, it seems like
your heart no longer belongs to me.August, do you like someone else?”
