Submit To The Boss Lucia And August Novel Chapter 36 – Right at the end of the day, Lucla packed up her things and was
ready to go home, However, just as she was about to leave, she was stopped
by Lisa at the door of her office, Lisa glanced at the bag in her hand and
raised an eyebrow “Ready to go now?”
Lucia looked at the clock on the wall.
“It’s the end of the day”
The Lion Group was a very humane company and they didn’t do much over
time on weekdays, except sometimes when it was busy and they would stay
overtime to catch up on work, “Finish these documents before you leave.”
Lisa rolled her eyes and shoved a dozen documents directly into Lucia’s
hand, Lucia took a look.
There were so many documents that it might take two hours to file them all,
but she had agreed with August to go home for dinner… Seeing that Lisa was
about to leave, Lucia stopped her straight away.
“Wait a minute!”
Lisa turned around.
“What’s up?”
Lucia said word by word, “I’ve finished my work for today.
How can you give me a new task at the end of the day?”
It seemed that Lisa hadn’t expected Lucia to be so tough.
She frowned.
“What? You’re not going to do the task you’re given?”
Lucia refused to give in and said word by word, “I have plans today, so I
really can’t do it.
If you have a problem with me, let’s go and talk with Carter together
tomorrow.”
Lucia was on equal footing with Lisa.
She wouldn’t say anything if Lisa assigned her tasks during work hours, but
now it was after hours, so she didn’t have to go along with her on everything.
With those words, Lucia walked out of the office and left Lisa alone, who
stood there rolling her eyes.
She left the company in a hurry, only to get caught up in the rush hour.
By the time she got home, August had already come back from his busy day
outside.
As soon as she entered the door, she saw Turner placing the tableware.
“Dinner will be ready soon, Madam.
Please wash your hands and tell Mr. Adams to come down for dinner.”
“Okay.”
Lucia put down her bag and skipping with a little excitement, she went to the
second floor.
She walked to the bedroom, pushed open the door and walked in.
Hearing movements in the bathroom, she went over to it and raised her hand,
I trying to knock on the glass door.
Just then, she suddenly heard the man’s groans coming from inside.
It was just a few small, short groans, but Lucia blushed at once.
What… was August doing in there? At that moment, curiosity got the better of
her.
Even though she knew it was bad, she couldn’t help but slowly push the door
of the bathroom open a little.
The man was topless, with his back to the door.
Every muscle on his broad, sturdy back was a symbol of strength.
However, right on his lower back was a bloody wound, which was too red in
her eyes.
Lucia trembled and felt a chill down her back as she unconsciously took a
step back.
Why… why did he get that? August heard the sound behind him and turned
his head around sharply.
“Who’s there?”
When he saw Lucia at the door, the cold, wary look in his eyes slowly eased
up a bit.
He quickly put some gauze dressing on his wound, casually draped the
bathrobe nearby around himself, and commanded in a deep voice, “Go wait
for me outside.”
Lucia came back from the shock and trepidation.
She hesitated for a moment and then stepped directly into the bathroom.
Her voice trembled as she spoke, “What the hell happened to you?”
August frowned.
“You don’t need to know.”
“August”
Lucia suddenly raised her voice and called him by his name in a serious lone
Immediately after that, she stepped forward and reached out to grab his hand
without hesitation, “Why did you hide it from me?”
11 was okay if he didn’t tell her how he had gotten injured or what he had
done, but at least he should have told her about the wound! August knitted
his brows.
He was about to tell Lucia to get out when he turned to see her with tears in
her eyes, which were red Tears poured down her face as she said, “You
didn’t tell me about your wound.
Is it because you’ve never thought of me as your wife?”
August’s heart sank abruptly at her words, Lucia’s shoulders shook as tears
kept coming out of her eyes.
“Tell me.”
The man moved slightly and paused for a moment before he finally said
softly, “There are things that I might as well keep to myself.
You are not me, Lucia, so you won’t understand.”
2 Lucia raised her hand, wiped her tears quickly with its back, and then
reached out to pull off his bathrobe.
A closer look revealed that August had more than one wound on his body.
Lucia found old scars on his arms, waist, and back.
She gently touched the white marks with her hand and tears welled up in her
eyes again.
August tilted his head slightly and said in a deep voice, I’m not as good as
you think, Lucia, so you don’t need to cry for me.
It’s not worth it.”
Hearing that, Lucia was even more upset.
Her shoulders shook as she cried, and she sobbed, “But I love you.
It’s worth it if I think it is! Whether you are good or bad, you are my husband.”
Her words were like a stone cast directly into the lake of August’s heart,
causing ripples there.
He turned his head sideways, looked at the woman’s twitching eyelashes,
and murmured, “You’ll regret it.”
She would regret it if she knew the true purpose of his marrying her.
“I won’t”
Lucia denied it without hesitation and repeated in a murmur, “I love you.”
August had mixed and bitter feelings.
The sense of guilt he had felt for her came back to haunt him, but at this
moment, he decided to ignore it.
He stretched out a hand and took the woman straight into his arms, “Stop
crying.”
Lucia could not control her tears.
She raised her hand and wiped them quickly.
“… I feel bad.”
She felt bad for him, because he was not as glamorous or superior as he
appeared, and he had to bear so much pain and suffering all by himself.
Hearing what she said, August actually curved his lips unconsciously.
It was the first time that he had heard someone feel bad for him.
After all, he had always shown up as an indestructible figure in front of
others.
At this moment, his heart softened a bit for her.
Looking at her red nose and sad look, August suddenly lowered his head and
kissed her on the lips straight away.
The moment when their lips met, they froze at the same time.
She hadn’t expected him to do so, and he hadn’t either.
The next moment, the two bounced back at the same time, but their eyes still
met.
Instantly, the atmosphere in the room became awkward.
Lucia’s eyes widened and she held her breath as if she was frozen.
August came to his senses first.
He coughed lightly twice, looked away and pulled his bathrobe back on.
Then, he said, “I think dinner is ready.”
With that, he stepped out of the bathroom.
It wasn’t until the man’s figure got out of her sight that Lucia tried to catch her
breath.
She gasped for air while the corners of her mouth kept going upward.
Their kiss only lasted a second or two just now, but it was sweet.
She patted her red, burning cheeks and went downstairs while pretending to
be calm.
August was already seated at the table, with a look no different than usual.
Just as Lucia sat down, Turner, who was serving the soup, couldn’t help but
say, “Why is it so red?”
-Lucia replied almost instantly.
“Huh? No, I’m too hot.
That’s why my face is red.
It’s okay!”
When she finished her explanation, she suddenly found that there was a
terrible silence in the room.
She looked up and saw Turner staring at her with a puzzled expression.
“I was wondering why the soup is so red this time.
What are you talking about, Madam?”
Lucia was startled.
Only then did she notice that Turner was serving the soup.
She had thought..
It was so embarrassing! was Seeing the smile on the face of the man
opposite, Lucia immediately stressed, “No-Nothing!
