Submit To The Boss Lucia And August Novel Chapter 140 – Seeing that August had little patience, Joshua immediately smiled and asked for forgiveness. “Fine, fine. I’ll leave. Why are you so angry?” “We haven’t seen each other for a while, so I thought you would miss me.”
“Forget it.I shouldn’t have tried to chat with an iceberg like you…” Joshua kept chattering to himself. August looked so sullen, showing obviously that he had run out of patience. Seeing that, Joshua immediately shut up and walked quickly out of the room.
When the door was closed, August finally had some peace.He walked to the window, casually picked up the imported wine on the table and poured half a glass. After taking a sip, he looked out the window with his deep eyes.
His eyes swept over the brightly lit skyscrapers outside before he looked into the pitch-black sky. In the farthest reaches of the sky, the darkness of the night looked like a bloody mouth waiting to devour the world.
The next morning, Lucia got up as soon as her alarm went off, without spending ten more minutes on the bed as she used to. Today, it was the first day for her to formally go on the study tour of Teda Corporation, so she naturally had to be in good spirits.
She changed into a comfortable long dress, which was cool and not too casual. After getting everything ready, she grabbed the stuff that she needed and went straight out. When she and Linda arrived at the restaurant, it happened that all her colleagues had also arrived, so they went to the buffet area for food and found their own seats.
Lucia took some food and sat down at a table with Linda. After taking a few sips of milk, she suddenly remembered her chance encounter with August last night. Before they came to Franksfurt, she had not been informed that August would come too, and she had forgotten to ask August what he was doing here last night.
Judging from what the others were like today, they didn’t seem to know that August was in Franksfurt. Lucia took two bites of her sandwich.
Then, she asked Linda while pretending that she did it without thinking, “Are we the only ones going on the tour today?”
Linda was confused by the question. “Yes, who else would be there?” Lucia hesitated for a moment and continued to ask tentatively, “I think I saw
Mr.Adams here yesterday. Maybe I was mistaken?” “How could it be?” Linda said with certainty.
“Natalie didn’t say Mr.Adams would come over.You must be mistaken.” Hearing that, Lucia nodded without asking any more questions and continued
to eat her breakfast with her head down, but her mind was tangled with questions, like a mess.
If August had not told anyone about his business trip to Franksfurt, why did he show up here? Did he have something else to do? She kept thinking
about it, without finding an answer. After breakfast, they went to visit Teda Corporation together, so she had to put it behind her for the time being.
After a busy morning of visiting all the departments of Teda, the receptionists
treated them to lunch at noon and sent a driver to take them back to the hotel
for a rest.
It was quite hot outside, so they were given a two-hour break before they
went back to the company to learn their management methods in the
afternoon.
Lucia was covered in sweat after going around all morning.
She just wanted to go back to her room as soon as possible, take a shower,
and get some rest.
Outside her room, she couldn’t help but subconsciously look over at the
corner of the corridor.
August stayed in the first room around that corner.
After hesitating for two seconds, she took out her room card, opened the
door, and went in.
She took a shower and changed into a comfortable T-shirt and shorts.
Just as she was about to have some rest, she suddenly remembered that
she had not yet gotten Dr.Long’s contact information.
As a result, she couldn’t sleep at all.
The sooner she got the contact information, the sooner she could tell Mr.and
Mrs.Mitchell to contact Dr.Long for the scheduling and planning of the
surgery.
She had planned to get it before she came to Franksfurt, but something
unexpected happened.
Now that August was in Franksfurt, it was a perfect opportunity for her to ask
him for Dr.Long’s contact information.
However, thinking of the unpleasant incident between them last night, Lucia
was just like a deflated balloon and lost her courage all of a sudden.
August had said that he would settle the score with her, so she didn’t dare to
go to him at this point.
She tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.
After thinking about it over and again, she decided to get out of bed and
plucked up the courage to go and ask August.
Even if she didn’t do it now, she would still have to find a chance to ask him
when they went back home.
Therefore, she would rather take this opportunity to ask him directly than wait
until then.
Gritting her teeth, she was about to go out when she suddenly caught sight of
the fruits on the table, which her colleagues had bought from a roadside fruit
stall on the way back today.
It must be admitted that the fruits from the stalls in Franksfurt were really
cheap and affordable.
Besides, there were many different kinds of them and they were very sweet.
Everyone bought some at the time, including Lucia.
She also got some and brought them back to eat.
She hadn’t expected that they would come in handy now.
Lucia was so happy that she immediately cleaned and cut the fruits into bitesized pieces.
There was mangosteen, a durian, an avocado, and a small pineapple.
They were all cut and put into a small bowl, making a bowlful of bright colors
that looked pretty nice.
She was going to ask for help, so she had to be sincere.
Lucia had been feeling somewhat nervous, but she calmed down a bit after
doing all that.
She took her room card, grabbed the bowl, and left her room for August’s.
Outside August’s room, Lucia raised her hand to knock on the door.
She waited for a minute, but there was no response.
He wasn’t in the room now? Lucia hesitated for a moment.
Just as she turned to leave, the door was unexpectedly opened with a click.
Lucia turned around right away and saw the man in a bathrobe.
His hair was slightly wet, showing that he had just finished taking a shower.
To her surprise, she noticed that some droplets of water were sliding down
the skin texture of his bare neck and the small exposed part of his chest,
which was tanned.
August took a glance at the woman who was frozen where she was.
When he saw the bowl full of cubed fruit in her hand, a hint of surprise
flickered in his eyes.
What was she doing here? Showing goodwill or begging for mercy? Standing
in the doorway, he looked condescendingly at her and asked in a cold voice,
“Yes?”
Lucia hurriedly took her eyes off him.
She couldn’t help but swallow, and her thoughts were a bit jumbled.
“Well…I’m here with some fruit…”
August seemed to find it funny, but the expression on his face didn’t change
much.
He turned directly around as he simply said, “Bring it in”
Watching the man from behind, Lucia felt like a pot of cold water had been
poured on her, and she instantly realized what was going on.
She was here with the fruit, but he was so condescending, cold and arrogant,
asking her to take it in like that? However, thinking of what she had come to
him for, Lucia was deflated all of a sudden.
Without saying anything else, she immediately walked in with the bowl.
August sat down on the couch at will.
He casually picked up the whiskey with ice cubes from the table, brought it to
his lips, and took a sip before raising his eyes to look at her.
“What is it?”
She must have come over for more than bringing him some fruit.
Lucia managed to force a smile as she put the small bowl in her hand on the
table and said, “I bought some fruits from a fruit stall at noon.
They’re fresh and sweet, but I got too many, so I brought you some.”
August raised his eyes as if trying to read her mind.
“What else?”
Now that he asked, Lucia stopped beating around the bush and said frankly,
“Actually, I’m here…for one more thing…It’s about Dr.Long from the Straten
Hospital, whom you helped to find for my father.Can you give me his contact
information? I want to consult him about the surgical plan.”
Hearing that, August instantly understood.If she had nothing to ask him for,
she wouldn’t have come and tried to please him, would she?
