Submit To The Boss Lucia And August Novel Chapter 51 – Seeing Lucia’s reaction like this, August froze.
It seemed that something was wrong with her from the moment he met her at
the restaurant at noon.
He reached out and pulled the quilt, but Lucia wrapped herself up so tightly
that he couldn’t pull it off.
“Lucia?”
She didn’t respond to his call.
August had no choice but simply stood up and reached out his hand to
directly pick up both the quilt and Lucia.
Lucia panicked and pulled the quilt away, “You… put me down!”
She didn’t want to see him and thought he would leave if he saw her ignoring
him, but she didn’t expect him to do that! At that, August refused to let go and
just held her.
Probably because she was angry or anxious, Lucia’s face turned red, “Put
me down!”
Seeing that she was anxious, August raised an eyebrow slightly and asked,
“What’s wrong with you?”
Lucia blushed, “I… no! I’m just tired!”
Hearing her say that, August put her right down on the bed, and quickly
pressed the quilt down to prevent her from covering her head again.
He leaned down and asked softly with his eyes darkening, “How did you fall
into the pool?”
She was an adult and would not jump into the pool for no reason.
He always felt there was something fishy about this.
Even if she had been drinking, she wasn’t drunk enough to do so.
Peter had set a time for the surgery.
At this critical moment, he had to make sure she was absolutely safe and she
couldn’t get sick or injured.
Lucia bit her lip and said softly, “l-I was dizzy, so I went out for a walk. I was
walking right next to the pool when suddenly felt like someone pushed me
and I fell in…”
Hearing Lucia’s description, August slightly scowled, “You mean someone
pushed you?”
Lucia mumbled, “Well…it seemed so.”
It seemed so? Listening to the woman’s ambiguous answer, August couldn’t
help but frown.
She must have been drinking a lot that she couldn’t even remember if
someone pushed her.
Looking at Lucia’s small face hiding under the quilt, August was a little
inexplicably angry.
He stretched out his hand and pinched her cheek without mercy, deliberately
saying in a deep voice, “It’s all your fault for drinking so much wine.”
When her cheek was pinched by him, Lucia’s nose was sore and her eyes
were misted with tears, “It-It’s none of your business!”
She huffed and tugged at the quilt, trying to cover her head with it again, but it
was pressed by August and she couldn’t tug at it at all.
August frowned and his heart seemed to be burning with fire, ’I am your
husband.Whose business is it if it’s not mine?”
Lucia grunted in anger and simply looked away.
Looking at Lucia like this, August was puzzled.
She was usually meek like a white rabbit, but today she was full of thorns, as
if deliberately against him.
But even so, she was quite cute like this.
After a moment’s pause, he patiently asked in a soft voice, “Is it possible that
I’ve messed with you?”
Lucia was angry like a pufferfish and affirmed, “Yes, it’s you!”
Looking at her like this, August didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, “How did I
mess with you?”
“You…”
Lucia was about to say something but suddenly hesitated and stopped.
She reached out her hand and pushed him, “You’d better go be with other
women and leave me alone!”
August froze and kept trying to figure out what she meant by her words.
Another woman? When had he ever been with other women? He suddenly
remembered that Adeline and he had eaten together at the restaurant at
noon today.
Could it be that Lucia had seen them? August looked up at Lucia, who had
twisted her head to the side, and when his eyes fell on her little red ears, he
instantly cleared.
So that’s the reason… August reached out to hold Lucia’s shoulder and
turned her directly to his side.
He did have dinner with Adeline alone, but they talked about business
matters.
They didn’t have any interaction in private, and eating together was just a
coincidence that the two of them met at the entrance of the restaurant.
He raised one eyebrow, “You’re jealous?”
Upon hearing this, Lucia blushed again, “Who’s… jealous? I’m not!”
With faint smiles emerging from his eyes, August reached out and lifted the
quilt wrapped around Lucia.
Then, he pulled her arm, pulling her directly to him.
Taking control of both her hands, August lifted his hand and pinched her chin
so that she had to meet his eyes.
“He lowered his magnetic voice and asked,”Really?”
Lucia looked into the man’s deep eyes and was nearly mesmerized by him.
She bit her lips and stubbornly denied it, “Yes…”
She was his wife, so she was not happy.
Looking into the woman’s bright eyes, August lowered his voice and said
invisibly and intimidatingly, “Whether you’re jealous or not, from now on, you
must take care of yourself.”
At August’s words, Lucia shuddered.
She straightened up, shook his hand off, and asked knowingly after a brief
pause, “Why?”
August spoke without hesitation, “Because your body is not just yours alone.”
Only when she was healthy, Jeanne’s surgery could continue and everything
could proceed as planned… Lucia blinked and continued to ask, “If my body
isn’t mine then whose is it?”
August froze, pretending to be calm.
He hadn’t figured out how to tell her about it.
Looking at the woman’s questioning gaze, he didn’t know how to face her.
But Lucia was emboldened by the effects of alcohol.
She reached out and gently tugged on his shirt, looking like she had 2 to ask
for an answer, “Whose is it?”
August looked up and met the woman’s watery eyes.
He froze, a fire of desire quickly burning up.He suppressed his rising desire,
looked away, and spoke in a hoarse voice, “Let’s talk about it some other
time.”
At least at this moment, it was not a good time to tell her the truth.
But Lucia, who had been drinking, was extraordinarily stubborn and refused
to give in in any way.
She pulled at his shirt and tugged, unwilling to let go.
It just so happened that the button on his collar was ripped open, and his shirt
was pulled diagonally, revealing August’s firm pecs.
August naturally lowered his head, swept a glance, and his eyes darkened.
Lucia reacted and panicked a little, and then she hurriedly let go of her hand,
“I didn’t mean to…”
Before she could say the rest of her words, she was held into the arms of
August, and immediately afterward, she was firmly kissed on her lips.
A moment later, he breathed heavily in her ear, “We’ll talk about it some other
time…”
The next day, the sun shone through the gap in the curtains and entered the
room.
When he woke up, August took a look at the woman who was still sleeping
beside him, got up quietly, and got out of bed.
He looked at the time and saw that it was still early, but he had to leave now.
Otherwise, if he was seen by someone from the company when he came out
of Lucia’s room, all kinds of gossip would arise again.
After leaving a note for Lucia, August walked out of her room and went back
to his room.
Aher breakfast was delivered, August took a sip of his coffee and soon Burton
knocked on the door.
“Mr. Adams, are you looking for me?” August asked indifferently, “Have you
had breakfast yet?”
Burton hesitated for a moment and answered truthfully, “Not yet…”
August lifted his chin and gestured for him to sit across the table, “I ordered
you breakfast too. Eat together.”
A smile flashed across Burton’s face, “Okay.”
After a moment, he looked up at Burton, “How’s the investigation I asked you
to do yesterday?”
When it came to business, Burton got serious, “I went to look around the pool
yesterday and found that it happens to be blind spot for surveillance.”
August looked up, “No surveillance probe?”
“Nonie checked the surveillance video in the vicinity, but I didn’t find anything
unusual.”
After hearing Burton say so much, August became more scowled.
Yesterday Lucia told him she felt like someone pushed her from behind.
Judging from her condition, she had not reached the point of complete
unconsciousness.
Yet it happened in a blind surveillance area, so he had to think about it more.
Seeing that August did not say anything for a long time, Burton could not help
but ask, “Mr. Adams, is there something unusual?”
August drooped his eyes.
After a moment, he finally said, “Ask Irene heretic want to see her. “If Irene
really pushed Lucia on purpose and thus delayed Jeanne’s surgery, he would
never forgive her!
