Submit To The Boss Lucia And August Novel Chapter 120 – After hearing that, a woman’s face appeared in his mind, and his hand
stopped caressing her back. Lucia? How could he think of her at this time? August frowned and lowered his eyes to reassure Jeanne.
“No.I will keep my promise to you.” Really?” Jeanne lifted her eyes, her large eyes shining with tears. “Will you marry me?”
“Emm.” August answered. But there was a surprising difference between this answer and the previous ones.It was now as firm as before.
As soon as he calmed Jeanne’s emotions, he coaxed her into eating some porridge sent by the caregiver. Looking at the relaxing side face of Jeanne sleeping in bed, August finally felt relieved. He had been caring for her like this many times since she was sick, and he really owed her this.
August pressed his forehead and walked out. He gently closed the door with his hand and turned around to see a man standing next to him.
An iron-gray suit encased the handsome, tall man, but his face exhibited almost a sickly pallor.
An evil expression appeared on the man’s face as he raised an eyebrow at August. “Mr.Adams, long time no see.”
Upon recognizing the man in front of him, August narrowed his eyes slightly.
Surprisingly, it was Jeanne’s biological elder brother – Merlin Kelly. Merlin Kelly’s lips curled up into a smile, but his gaze was still cold.
He stepped forward, sizing up August, and said in a cold voice, “August, how could you treat my sister like that?”
A trace of coldness crossed August’s eyes, and he asked ina cold voice, “What’s wrong with that?” In Jeanne’s case, he performed significantly better than her so-called brother. Merlin Kelly sniffed as he approached August. A sarcastic smile spread across his face as he stared at August with gloomy eyes.
“My sister didn’t eat anything for a whole day.I won’t believe you if you say you don’t know the reason.We Kellys agreed to you dating her, but that
doesn’t mean we’ll forgive you if you hurt her.No matter what, she is a member of the Kelly family!
All of us in the Kell Family will not be finished with you if something happens to her!” “Is that so?”
August said in a cold voice, “As far as I Know, this is the first time you’ve come over to see your sister in the past three months or so.”
There was no difference between Merlin Kelly and his father Martin Kelly. Since Jeanne was seriously ill, the Kellys could not help her, so they left her
to August, never caring for her at all. After hearing that her surgery had been successful, they came one by one to see her.
“Cut the nonsense.In short, we won’t let you hurt her anyway.In this case, I did not come as a reminder, but as a warning!”
As Merlin Kelly glanced at August grimly, he dropped these words, turned around, and left.
Burton couldn’t stand it at the side.He frowned and looked at August, awaiting
his order.
“Mr.Adams…”
Taking a cold glance at him, August shook his head and said nothing.
Slowly, August’s gaze retreated as Merlin Kelly walked away.It was difficult for
Burton to calm his emotions.
“Mr.Adams, with the Kelly family being so rampant, how can you…”
August pursed his lips and lightly uttered two words.
“No hurry.”
He had endured this for a long time.
A moment like this would never cause him to be impatient.
In his perception, Jeanne was Jeanne, and the Kelly family was the Kelly
family, completely two different things.
Ward of the Second Central Hospital.
Lucia sat on the chair next to the ward, in a depressed mood.
In seeing his daughter like this, Bill Mitchell, who was lying on the bed,
remained silent for a long time without speaking, and finally, he raised his
hand and lightly stroked her head.
“Come on, Lucia, don’t be too sad, everything will be fine.”
Upon hearing that, Lucia sniffed and her eyes were filled with tears.
A half hour ago, she had just learned her father needed coronary bypass
surgery, but there were some risks involved.It was evidently a difficult
moment for her to accept this bad news.
The sight of his daughter like this made Bill Mitchell’s heart hurt as well.He
patted her shoulder and comforted her.
“Don’t worry.August told me that he would make contact with the doctors in
the capital for this operation so that it would be the safest possible and the
chances of success would be higher”
Hearing him say that, Lucia was stunned.
A few seconds later, she turned to Bill Mitchell and asked, “Dad, is this true?”
After seeing Bill Mitchell nod his head with a positive expression, she felt
relieved.
Somehow, as long as August was there, everything seemed to have a better
chance of winning.
“Lucia, even though your relationship with August ended, you’re still
friends.For the sake of me, do not make it hard for him, okay?”
Hearing Bill Mitchell’s advice in earnest, Lucia raised her eyes, hesitated for a
few seconds, and finally nodded her head.
In any case, August was also Bill Mitchell’s favorite student, so she didn’t
have to make a scene with him anyway.
On the way sack from the hospital, Lucia thought about what her father said
and unconsciously felt grateful for August.
This time, August would have to be credited if the operation had been
successful.
This mood continued until the next morning.
For the first time, Lucia woke up early and prepped two fancy lunches using
the lunchbox tutorial on her phone.
Even though the Iunchbox seemed perfect, Lucia always felt something was
missing.
Sie thought about it for a long time and finally took out the ketchup and
squeezed a smiley face on top of the fried egg.
“Done!”
Finally, she slammed the lid shut, put it in her lunch bag, packed everything
up, and headed to work.
The bento was prepared as a gift for August as a way of showing her
appreciation.
She rarely prepared lunch for herself, now she sacrificed her sleep time to
prepare this exquisite lunchbox, which was enough to prove her sincerity.
By noon, when the colleagues in the department had almost left, Lucia took
the bento, went to the pantry, and heated it in the microwave. intending to
deliver it directly to August.
After exiting the elevator, she had only taken a few steps when she heard two
women talking together not far ahead.
“This is such a large issue, who knows how it will be dealt with? The board
held a meeting today to discuss it.”
“Mr.Stebbirg must be punished, considering the damage he caused to the
company.Why does the company’s leadership not take a stand?”
“That’s right, and I heard that Mike Rodriguez is Irene’s uncle.Considering
one is the company’s top executive, the other the vice president, this is really
a big deal!”
As they talked to each other, Lucia walked behind them listening to what they
were saying.It was clear to her what the situation was.
She hadn’t known that Irene had such a relationship with Mike Rodriguez, the
company’s finance manager, and it was no wonder Irene was so rampant in
the company.
When she reached the president’s office, Lucia came back to her senses and
saw that there was no one around at the door of the president’s office.
As she approached the door, she raised her hand to knock.
There was no answer inside, and sure enough, as she thought, August was
not there.
This was the least crowded time of day for the company.
Therefore, she decided to enter the office, put down the bento, and leave as
soon as possible.
Lucia pushed the door open, walked in quickly, put the lunch bag on August’s
desk, set it right, and before she could turn around, there was a sound of
footsteps at the door.
She was so nervous that she turned around in a hurry, and when she saw the
cool-faced August at the door, it was as if she had been caught red-handed
doing something wrong, and her tongue tied in panic.
“You…came back?”
