Submit To The Boss Lucia And August Novel Chapter 37 – She had always been the first to send a message between them and it was
the first time that he had done so.
“I’ll meet you at the underground garage after work tonight.”
Lucia was instantly overjoyed to see those words and a smile appeared on
her face.
So, August was waiting for her to go home together! She couldn’t hide her joy
and held her phone happily for quite a while.
Suddenly, the door of her office was pushed open and Emma walked in
quickly.
“Lucia, Carter wants to see you in her office now!”
Seeing how nervous Emma looked, Lucia was stunned and asked, “Why?
What’s wrong?”
Emma shook her head, “I’m not sure, but Carter looks unhappy. You’d better
hurry up and go over.”
Lucia turned serious when she heard that She immediately got up and
walked out of the office, going directly to the supervisor’s office When she
pushed open the door of the supervisor’s office and walked lit, Lucia saw
three or four colleagues standing in a row, all with their heads down.
Carter was sitting in her office chair.
She glanced at Lucia with a sullen face and asked in a cold voice, “Are you
working on the quarterly report?”
Lucia hesitated for a moment and nodded.
“Yes.”
Last night.
Lisa stopped her after work and asked her to do overtime for the report, but
she left directly and did not start doing it until she arrived at the office this
morning.
Carter forced back her anger, but her eyes were sharply fixed on Lucia.
“I heard that the documents were handed over to you yesterday, yet you
haven’t turned the report in today.”
Lucia was instantly stressed out and said, “Yes, but I…”
“No buts!”
Carter slapped her desk and interrupted Lucia unceremoniously.
“Where did you get so many excuses? Do you know how many people are
waiting to use the report? Just because you didn’t do it, the schedule of the
whole team has been delayed!”
Carter was usually quite forgiving about almost everything, but she was
absolutely strict and meticulous about work Lucia lowered her head and
couldn’t say a word.
It was true that she had been given the task yesterday, but it was already the
end of the day when Lisa told her.
Even if she had started to do it then, it would have been too late to organize
and file some of the documents and then do the report.
Carter said in an angry voice, “Let me remind you, don’t make excuses at any
time! Not doing a good job is your own problem, understand?”
Those colleagues standing in a row responded, and only then did the angry
look on Carter’s face ease up a bit.
She turned to Lucia and instructed in a deep voice, “Now that you are an
administrative assistant, Lucia, whatever you do must be thoughtful.With an
attitude like yours, our Administration Department will be in trouble! Don’t get
proud just because of a small achievement, understand?”
Carter was saying that in front of all those colleagues in the room.
Lucia found it quite embarrassing, She bit her lip and nodded.
“Yes, Carter, I will keep it in mind.”
As she spoke, she inadvertently raised her eyes and saw Lisa standing next
to Carter with a look of pleasure and triumph.
Instantly, she got to know what was going on.
No wonder Lisa had given Lucia the documents after work yesterday.
It turned out that she had done it on purpose so that Lucia would fail to hand
in the report and delay the schedule of the team.
Lucia took a hard look at Lisa and slowly suppressed her anger.
Carter glanced at her and instructed, “Go back to your work and finish the
quarterly report as soon as possible”
“Okay.”
Lucia replied, turned around and walked out of the office.
The colleagues who had been scolded together in the office just now also
came out.
They couldn’t help but whine and complain.
“It’s all because of her! Our schedule has been delayed just because she
didn’t finish the report!”
“I know.And we got scolded by the supervisor too.What bad luck!”
They kept talking like that with no intention to hide it from her.
Lucia could hear everything, but she couldn’t say a word.
They were right.
It was because of her that their schedule was delayed She walked quickly
back to her office, looked at the documents on her desk, and could not help
hul sigh As she caught sight of her phone at the side, her original excitement
was gone She picked up her phone and texted August back.
“I have to work overtime tonight.You can go home without me She had to
finish the report as soon as possible.If she kept delaying the schedule and
causing trouble for her colleagues, she was afraid that her situation in the
Administration Department would be even more difficult An hour later, Lucia
tilted her head back and pinched the back of her sore neck.
Then, she intended to go back to work when suddenly, she heard footsteps
slowly approaching, Lucia froze, feeling a bit strange.
At this hour, almost all her colleagues in the department had left and the big
lights outside had been turned off, so why would there be footsteps? The
footsteps sounded steady and they were indeed approaching her.
Lucia clutched her mouse and unconsciously got nervous.
Now that she was alone in this large desk area, she would surely feel afraid.
Suddenly, the footsteps stopped at the door, which was pushed open after a
few seconds of silence Lucia’s eyes widened, and when she saw the man
standing at the door, she suddenly heaved a sigh of relief
“What… are you doing here?”
August raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw that the woman looked like
she had seen a ghost, “Can’t I come here?”
“I didn’t mean that.”
Lucia secretly sighed in relief and her fear was gone.
“I thought you had gone home”
August walked toward her on his long legs and stopped at her desk.
He took a glance at the large pile of papers on the desk and the look in his
eyes suddenly turned a little sullen.
He propped his hand on the desk and stared at Lucia from above, looking a
bit displeased.
“I didn’t know you love your work so much.”
Lucia wasn’t sure if his comment was positive or negative.She blushed.
“I didn’t finish my work on time and delayed the schedule of the department.”
Hearing that, August paused and casually put the paper bag in his hand on
the desk.
“Eat first.”
Lucia looked up and saw the porridge and side dishes in the bag. Her eyes
suddenly lit up.
Just now she was already starving, but she had to endure it because she was
working overtime Lucia found it heart-warming and looked at August with
some excitement.
“Have you eaten?”
August nodded slightly and gave the order, “Yeah. They’re just for you. Finish
them.”
