Submit To The Boss Lucia And August Novel Chapter 175 – After washing their hands and coming out of the kitchen, Jeanne took August
to sit down. The servant immediately came over and poured wine for them.
Just after the wine was poured, there was a sound of footsteps at the entrance of the stairs. Merlin raised his chin slightly and walked towards them casually. After he greeted her parents, he glanced coldly at August and sat across from him.
Seeing that everyone was here, Martin looked at August, smile slightly, and said softly, “August, try this wine.I have treasured this bottle of wine for many
years.” August nodded, took a sip from the red wine glass, and then said softly, “Good wine.”
Hearing this, Martin smiled and was about to ask everyone to start the lunch when Merlin next to him snorted in dissatisfaction.
“Dad, why the fuss? It’s not a big day.Why drink such good wine?” When he was celebrating his birthday,
he had asked Martin for this bottle of red wine, but his father didn’t give it to him. Unexpectedly, when August came, his father opened it.
There was obvious jealousy in his tone. As soon as he finished it, the smiles of everyone at the dining table froze a bit.
Jeanne sat beside August, and she frowned angrily.
Why was her brother such a wet blanket? Martin’s face was slightly cold, and
his voice was cold and low, “August came to visit us.Why isn’t it a big day?
Watch your tongue.”
After being reprimanded in front of everyone, Merlin looked gloomy.
He glanced coldly at August, who was facing him and closed his mouth in
dissatisfaction.
But August looked calm as ever.
After such a commotion, the atmosphere at the dining table became a lot
colder.
Mrs.Kelly immediately smiled and softened the atmosphere, “Okay,
everyone, let’s eat, or the foot will get cold.”
Seeing this, Jeanne hurriedly said to August with a smile, “August, let’s eat.”
Slowly, the atmosphere eased a lot.
But Merlin, who was sitting opposite, had a cold face from beginning to end.
After a few drinks, Martin slowly brought up the topic, “August, Kelly Group is
preparing to develop a high-end business district in the East City recently.Are
you interested?”
When August heard his words, his expression remained unchanged.
He raised his eyes to look at Martin, and said lightly, “I heard that the project
is quite big, and I’m naturally interested in making money.But there are too
many things in the company recently.I’m afraid I won’t have the time to do it.”
Martin declined, but he was still smiling.He calmly introduced the benefits of
the project, but August didn’t seem interested in the slightest from beginning
to end.He had already guessed when he came that Martin must have ulterior
motives for asking him to have lunch at his house at this juncture.
It was probably related to the Welsh Garden project in East City.
Now the Kelly family looked rich, but in fact, its capabilities were limited.
They would not be able to take down such a big project.
Naturally, they had to find someone else to cooperate with them.
The Adams family was rich and powerful, which was their best choice.
But he was unwilling to cooperate with this old fox.
After being rejected several times, Martin didn’t look very happy.He hurriedly
ended the lunch.
Jeanne had never been involved in the company’s affairs, and naturally, she
didn’t understand the secret battle at the dining table just now.
After lunch, she excitedly took August to the small balcony on the first floor
and showed him all kinds of flowers she had planted.
“This is Clivia.Isn’t it beautiful? It will bloom in the flowering season…”
“This is the money tree…”
Hearing her nag next to him, August was distracted.He pondered Martin’s
words at the dining table in his mind for fear of missing a single meaningful
detail.
Suddenly, Mrs.Kelly’s voice came from behind, “Jeanne, here is some
fruit.You and August can share it…”
Jeanne nodded and smiled at August, “August, wait for me.”
She excitedly turned around and walked towards the kitchen.
August stood there, stunned slightly as if he felt a little confused because of
the wine he had drunk at the dining table just now.
He raised his hand and pressed his eyebrows.
Before he took his hand back, he heard a cold snort from the side.
Looking up, he saw Merlin standing two meters away, staring at him coldly.
August was not surprised.
He looked away without saying anything.
Seeing that he was ignored, Merlin couldn’t hold back his anger, and said
coldly, “August, why are you so arrogant? I’m telling you, even if you don’t
agree, our Kelly family can still find a partner to build Welsh Garden! “
He knew what Martin had implied at the dining table just now.
Hearing this, August smiled.His eyes were dark and unclear, and he didn’t
say anything.
Seeing his attitude, Merlin was even angrier.
He gritted his teeth, stepped forward, and said in a low voice, “August, you
look amazing right now, but I know best what you did to Bishop back then…”
Before he finished his sentence, August turned his head and his eyes were
deep and cold as if he was going to swallow him whole.
Merlin’s eyes narrowed.He fell silent with some fear, looked away, and said,
“You can deceive my sister, but you can’t deceive me.I know who you are.”
August’s eyes were gloomy and cold.
He looked away, paused for a few seconds, and said faintly, “Yeah, I heard
that you have been very close to a young model recently, and you even
spent a lot of money to buy a luxury car for her.”
Hearing these words, Merlin was stunned.His back stiffened and he looked at
August in astonishment.
Two seconds later, he said angrily, “What nonsense are you talking about?!”
It was well hidden.
How could August know about it?! “Whether it’s nonsense or not, you know it
best.”
August glanced at him lightly and walked towards the living room.
Merlin rushed up and stood in front of him, “August, what are you trying to
do?!”
He had kept a secret about buying a luxury car and keeping a young model.
Even Martin didn’t know about it.
If August leaked it out, his father would break his legs! Seeing that Merlin
was completely panicked, August raised his eyebrows calmly and asked,
“What do you think I’m going to do?”
He wasn’t stupid enough to tell Martin about it himself.
It would be much more interesting if Martin heard it from the media.
Merlin looked at August and a surge of anger rose to his heart.
He angrily stepped forward and grabbed August by the collar, and asked,
“What the hell are you trying to do?!”
At this moment, Jeanne came over with the fruit plate.
Seeing this scene, she almost threw the plate away.She hurriedly put down
the plate and ran over in a panic, “August, what are you doing?!”
Hearing her voice, Merlin quickly lowered his voice and warned, “If you dare
to tell my dad, I won’t go easy on you!”
Then he loosened August’s collar and quickly turned to leave.
Jeanne ran over, quickly grabbed August, and asked in a panic, “August,
how are you?! My brother didn’t hurt you, did he?”
“I’m fine.”
August suppressed the coldness in his eyes, glanced at Merlin’s back, and
raised his hand to smooth the folds of his shirt.
Merlin, as expected, was as arrogant as ever.
Then, this time he naturally should give him a generous gift.
It was time to get back at him for sending photos to Mr.Mitchell last time.
Hearing her nagging, August came to his sense, glanced at her, and said coldly,
“Jeanne, I’m fine.Tell your parents, something came up and I have to leave”
With that, he took his hand out of Jeanne’s hand, turned around, and walked
towards the door.
