Submit To The Boss Lucia And August Novel Chapter 412 – Being Targeted The atmosphere had been pleasant in the morning because of the episode.
They packed their things and went straight to the swimming pool where Timothy and Janet learned to swim. It was an upscale swimming pool with a great
environment and experienced instructors. Of course, it was also very expensive, but after a few lessons, the two children improved a lot in swimming.
It was a test this time. The children would first compete in swimming and then enjoyed the water with their parents. There were ten groups in total. The parents of the children were already there. A female instructor checked. them in and told them to change and take a shower.
Since it was a swimming pool, they inevitably had to get in the water. Paul and Timothy changed their clothes but didn’t see Lucia and Janet at the pool.
More and more parents and children gathered at the pool. Timothy couldn’t help but look up and ask Paul, “Dad, where’s mom and Janet?”
Paul looked down, stroked his head, and whispered, “Timothy, boys have to be patient with girls, you know?” Timothy nodded blankly, and Paul smiled at him.
When he looked up, he saw Lucia and Janet walking out of the women’s changing room. Lucia was wearing a white strappy swimsuit.
Her white skin and perfect body instantly captivated everyone. Paul couldn’t help but gulp. He even felt his hands sweating. He and Lucia had known each other for years, but she could still surprise him. Janet was wearing a swimsuit with a pink bow. She looked so adorable.
Everyone’s eyes were drawn to them, especially the men, but they were discouraged when they saw Lucia and Janet walking toward Paul. They thought that only such wonderful parents could have such beautiful children. Soon everyone was gathered at the pool.
The two instructors introduced the rules to them and the event.
began.
On the other side of the pool, a fully-dressed man was sitting in the audience
staring at the family of four in the
crowd.
Meanwhile, the conference room at Lion Group was filled with people but silent.
Everyone tried their best to
keep their heads down. The mood was subdued.
With a clap, August slammed the folder on the desk with a gloomy face. “Is this
the final plan you all agreed
on?” He stared angrily at a few of them.
Those people all lowered their heads and kept silent.
August slowly clenched his fists. He was losing his temper deliberately.
Several executives in the company had been very arrogant lately. They had even
given important documents to
Bishop and pushed them through without August’s consent.
August had been dealing with other things, but he knew Bishop had bought them
off. Bishop wanted to get rid of his people and dethrone him. In the end, the
executives would be distracted even if Bishop failed. He was so
shrewd.
August frowned at the supervisor of the planning department and said coldly, “Mr.
Rankin, I heard that you’ve
been taking a lot of time off recently because of family matters. Since you don’t
want to work, I’ll give you a
vacation. What do you think?”
Mr. Rankin’s face instantly became pale. He knew that August was actually going
to dismiss him from his job. With trembling hands, he looked up at August and
forced a smile. “Mr. Adams, I’ve been leading the planning
department for several years. If I leave, maybe it will…”
August had guessed what he was going to say. He raised his eyebrows slightly
and said casually, “It’s okay. Ned McDowell, the deputy supervisor, has also been
there for three years. He can handle a lot of things on his own.
Don’t worry. You’ll still be in charge when you come back.”
Mr. Rankin opened his mouth, but he didn’t know what to say. He knew there was
no way he would come back
if he agreed. He regretted trusting Bishop. He shouldn’t have sided with him!
It was silent in the conference room. Everyone was waiting for Mr. Rankin to say
something. August scanned them and finally stared at Mr. Rankin. He didn’t rush
him but waited for him to speak up. However, at that moment, it was noisy
outside the conference room. Burton walked out and soon returned with a
serious face. He walked quickly to August and reported, “Sir, Ned is gone. He left
a resignation letter!” “What?” August frowned coldly. He had just said he would
promote Ned, but Ned had suddenly left! What a weird coincidence!
He scanned
the crowd coldly and quickly turned to leave. As soon as he went out of the
conference room, he ordered Burton, “Find Ned by any means necessary. I want
to see him!” August had already known that Mr. Rankin had been bought off by
Bishop, so he took the opportunity to
dismiss him. He just hadn’t expected Ned to leave suddenly. He didn’t have to
think about it to know who had
planned it. He frowned and tried to recall all the details, liis eyes filled with anger.
Bishop made no secret of his actions this time. It seemed that he was losing
impatience.
August had predicted a few years ago that the two of them would have a bad
fight sooner or later. Furious, he
returned to his office and put his phone down on his desk irritably. His finger
accidentally touched the screen.
It lit up and there was a new message on it. He took a deep breath and clicked
on it. “August, how does it feel to see this?”
In the photo below, Lucia, in a white swimsuit with a big smile on her face, was
pushing Timothy in a water
wing. Paul was holding Janet with one arm and had his other arm around Lucia’s
waist. The four of them
looked happy and intimate.
August’s chest felt tight. Suddenly, he glanced at the bottom right corner of the
photo and he frowned at once. It was the spider web symbol again! Obviously,
the photo had been photoshopped!
August’s eyes were as cold as a deep pool. Even the temperature around him
had dropped. He had just doubted
when Lucia had received the jade and the card at Starlight House yesterday, but
this message was enough to
show that Lucia was being targeted by Mr. Denko!
