Submit To The Boss Lucia And August Novel Chapter 245 – Apologize on Behalf of Her Dad
Lucia hurriedly looked away and instinctively tensed up. Her smile was put away, and
she stood at attention. Melinda also saw the man and followed suit.

When August came closer, they respectfully bowed and greeted him, “Good morning,
Mr. Adams.” August raised his eyes and glanced at Lucia’s face intentionally or unintentionally.

She looked ruddy and better-spirited than last night. That relieved him.
He looked away in a second and said in a bland voice, “Bring me a cup of coffee.”

Lucia took the order and headed to the pantry. When the coffee was ready, she carried
the cup to the office, walked to the desk, and put it down with great care.
“Here is your coffee.” She bowed and turned to leave.
“Did I let you go?” The man’s voice suddenly came.

Lucia stopped in her tracks and looked back. A little flustered, she wondered what he
was going to say. She took a deep breath and glanced at Burton who was standing on
the side.

Without any clue, she asked, “Anything else I can do for you, sir?” August raised his
dark, deep eyes in an attractive way. After a while, he opened his mouth and asked,
“Did you take the medicine?”

Lucia was stunned. She hadn’t expected him to ask such a question in the office
and the presence of Burton. It was a bit ambiguous. Then again, she couldn’t turn
a deaf ear to it.
She bit the bullet and replied, “Yes.”

‘Okay, you can go.” The man laid his eyes back on the document and continued
to flip through it as if nothing had happened. Lucia bit her lip and went out of the
office with a strange feeling.

Was August worried about her? But it felt strange.
She shook the idea out of her head and went back to her post. Unknowingly, the
morning passed. Her stomach was rumbling.

She planned to grab something to eat at the canteen when her phone suddenly rang.
She checked it out and paled at the sight of the caller ID. Her scalp went numb.
She hadn’t expected a call from this person. Her heart raced. Lucia took several deep breaths to calm down.

She pressed the answer button and put the phone to her ear.
“Hello, Ms. Kelly?”
The chuckle of a woman came from the other end of the phone.
“Ms. Mitchell, are you free? I want to see you for a moment.” Her voice was
gentle, and her tone was consultative. Lucia found it hard to refuse.

Although
she had no idea what Jeanne wanted to see her for, she couldn’t reject it flatly.
“Okay, where will we meet?” “At the cafe downstairs. I’m already here. You can
just come down.”

Despite her surprise, Lucia agreed, “Okay, I’ll be there in a minute.” Jeanne was
waiting downstairs, which indicated that she had come prepared. Lucia hung up
the phone.

With no time for lunch, she got on the elevator and looked uneasily at
the changing digits as she descended. She was not sure if Jeanne came for the
matter of Martin hitting her with a cup or for August.

Before she could think more about it, the elevator dinged and brought her back to
reality. She went out and subconsciously straightened up. Among a row of bright
stores, there was a café that Lucia went to regularly. In a few minutes, she
arrived at the place.

She went in, looked around, and stiffened the moment she saw Jeanne. Jeanne
was not alone. A long-haired woman in a black dress was sitting next to her. They
were whispering. Feeling Lucia’s gaze, Jeanne looked up. A smile appeared on
her face, and she waved at Lucia.

Lucia took a deep breath, went over, and sat down across from them.
“Ms. Mitchell, what would you like to drink7” Jeanne nodded and greeted her. A
waitress was then called over.

“A glass of water will be good,” Lucia said blandly. “Ms. Kelly, I wonder what you
want to see me for.”

Jeanne was smiling, but Lucia could tell that she was not in a good mood. Since
Lucia got straight to the point, she would not beat around the bush.
Following a glance at Lucia’s forehead, she said, “I heard that my father hurt you
by accident yesterday, so here am I to check on you.”
Lucia raised her head, looked Jeanne in the eye, and replied after a pause, Tmfine.

hank you for your concern, Ms. Kelly.”
“I know my father’s personality. He admits no mistakes, and I want to apologize
on behalf of him.”

Jeanne suddenly stood up, came over, bowed deep to Lucia, and said sincerely,
“I’m sorry.”

Lucia was surprised by her upbringing. Jeanne’s father did something wrong, and she
came over to apologize. Lucia’s heart softened. Just as she was about to respond, the
other woman grunted, “You can’t be serious, Jeanne.”

The woman in a black dress stood up indignantly, reached out to pull Jeanne, and
glared at Lucia.

“Bonnie, that was indeed my dad’s fault. I should apologize to Lucia on his behalf.”
Jeanne looked up at Lucia and whispered, “I hope you don’t mind.”

Lucia looked at the woman and got mixed feelings. She was indeed disgusted with
Martin’s behavior. To her surprise, he had such a good daughter. Most of her pent-up
anger subsided with the apology.

She shook her head and smiled, “It’s okay. It’s all in the past. I won’t take it to heart.”
Jeanne returned a smile, took out an exquisite box from her bag, and pushed it over.
“Here is a gift for you. It’s a bracelet. Take a look and see if you like it.”
Lucia was surprised and hurriedly declined, “Thank you, Ms. Kelly, but I can’t take it.”

Bonnie rolled her eyes and stared at Lucia. The hostility in her eyes was awful. Her
voice rang out. “Jeanne, don’t you think you’re too nice to her? Some women are
double-faced. You can’t be fooled by her.”

Jeanne looked a little embarrassed. She tugged at her friend’s clothes and said, “Say
no more, Bonnie.”

Not convinced, Bonnie glared at Lucia and looked back at her friend. “Jeanne, don’t be
ridiculous. You know that August spent the night at her place yesterday. Why are you
so nice to a woman who is trying to steal your fiancé away?”

Her loud voice immediately drew attention. Lucia froze, squeezed her hands, and
looked up at Jeanne. So, she knew what happened last night?
