Submit To The Boss Lucia And August Novel Chapter 564 – You Did This Deliberately
Unexpectedly, just as she let go of Garnett, Garnett suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked up at her in horror. His eyes welled up with tears instantly, and he said pitifully, “I’m scared…”
Instantly, Lucia’s heart was melt, and she could no longer say other words of refusal. August’s voice came, “Put him to sleep before you go.”
Lucia bit her lower lip and took a deep breath. She looked down at Garnett and said softly. “Okay, let’s go, I’ll take you back to your room to sleep.”
Garnett then nodded with tears still in both eyes. He looked so pitiful. Watching the woman pull the little guy into the room, August smiled.
“Hey! Mr. Adams, you always bring people to the house. Do you think my place is a hotel?” Suddenly, Joshua’s teasing voice came. August stopped smiling and looked at him. He saw Joshua leaning against the wall and looking at him, with a deep smile on his face.
August glanced at him coldly, unwilling to say more. He drove his wheelchair directly to leave. But Joshua strode toward him and said “Hey, hey! August, am I being ignored? Why don’t you look at me!”
August coolly spoke, “I don’t have time for you.” Joshua laughed and relentlessly went after him, asking. “Hey August, what’s the deal with Lucia? Is she going to stay here today?” “What does it have to do with you?”
“It’s nothing to do with me.” Joshua laughed and said, “But it’s got something to do with you!” He tapped August on the shoulder, then bent down close to him and said, “I know all about your thoughts. How about this? Let me help you this time?”
August narrowed his eyes. He suddenly looked at him warily and asked, “What do you want to do?” Joshua didn’t like Lucia before and had even used tactics against her on a few occasions. Therefore, August was not at ease when Joshua said that.
This was Joshua’s home, and his people were everywhere. It he wanted to do something
to Lucia, it was easy and always in his favor.
“Why are you so nervous?” Seeing August’s expression, Joshua wanted to laugh.
He patted August’s shoulder and said in a serious tone suddenly, “Don’t worry
August. I know you like her sincerely. How dare I hurt her now?”
He went around to the front of the wheelchair and said in a serious manner, “As
long as you like her, I will help you.” After a pause, he glanced at the closed door
of the room over there and suddenly whispered, “Don’t you want her to stay here
overnight? I have a way………” It was more than half an hour after Garnett had
been put to sleep. Lucia felt sore.
With her injuries, she was exhausted and didn’t
want to move. She looked at the time, took a deep breath, pushed open the door
and walked out, intending to leave and hurry back to West Bridge. But when she
got downstairs, she found that the door was closed. It was locked from the inside
and could not be pushed open. She turned around and looked around.
There
was not a single maid. It was already midnight, and the maids were all resting at
this time of night.
Lucia looked at the lock on the door and tried a few more times, but it didn’t work.
Suddenly, a male voice came from the corridor on the first floor, “It’s locked. You
can’t open it by hand.”
Lucia turned her head and saw August in a wheelchair. He had changed into
casual grey leisure wear. His hair was wet, so it looked like he had just finished
showering.
She frowned, asking, “Why is it locked? How am I supposed to get out?”
August calmly said, “It is the rule here to lock the door at the end of the day for
security. If you want to go out, you have to wait for the maid in charge of the key
to open the door tomorrow morning “
“Tomorrow morning?” Lucia faintly froze, asking, “I have to go back, can’t they
open the door now?”
August drove the wheelchair down the aisle next to the small refrigerator and
took a cold bottle of wine. He took a sip and said, “Yes, the maid with the key is
at the far end of the hallway. If you want to open the door, go ask the maid for it.”
Lucia frowned and didn’t know what to say. The maid must be resting at this time.
She must disturb her by knocking on the door. When she was hesitating, August
next to her suddenly said, “It’s already late. Why don’t you sleep here for the
night? Everything is available here, and it’s convenient.”
As he said that, his eyes lingered on Lucia’s injured leg for a moment. He thought
to himself, “With an injury on her leg, if she keeps walking around, she will not
get better. What she needs most now is rest.”
When he finished, Lucia did not reply. She frowned and felt something strange
but couldn’t figure it out. Suddenly, an image flashed through her mind. August
had said something about her staying overnight in the room when she was taking
Garnett to rest. Could it be… She suddenly remembered something and looked
at August warily. Her eyes widened and she said, “You did this deliberately!”
August snickered and said calmly, “What did I do this for? Just to keep you
here?”
Lucia immediately crossed both arms over her chest and subconsciously said,
“You know very well what you want to do.” August was in a good mood and
slowly drove his wheelchair closer to her. Looking at the woman’s frightened look,
he found it interesting and did not want to explain. It was as if time had returned
to five years ago when she was that naive and cute girl.
Lucia was scared by August’s stare and said nervously, “You… you must have
the key. Give it to me quickly!”
August raised his eyebrows slightly, glanced at her injured leg and said softly,
“It’s late at night. How are you going to get back?” Lucia said without even
thinking, “I’ll take a taxi!”
August smiled slightly and said in a calm tone, “A young woman takes a taxi
alone late at night, and her leg is injured. If there is an accident, it has nothing to
do with me.
When she heard his words, her body went cold and stiff. That was true. Recently,
there was always social news about women being killed in taxis, which was
frightening. She was scared to go back alone.
August casually continued, “If you still want to go back, I’m going to ask for the
key.”
Lucia glanced at him coldly, “Forget it. I’ll just stay here for the night.”
After saying that, she lifted her foot and stepped forward, heading directly to the
bedroom on the second floor where she had stayed before.
When she pushed
the door open and walked in, the fragrance of flowers greeted her. The bedside
lamp was on and there was a tray with a bowl of shrimp and grits still steaming,
and a cold pack next to it.
Lucia’s heart was slightly tightened. Looking at these things, she couldn’t say
anything for a while. She thought, ‘Is this specially prepared for her?”
Shrimp and grits was her favorite porridge and the cold pack was also what she
needed. She suffered a lot today as she walked all the time, her leg got injured
and her ankle was swollen.
At this time, it was very comfortable to have a bowl of
porridge, apply a cold pack to the ankle, and then have a good sleep.
Suddenly, August’s face flashed in her mind. In this house, he was the only
person who could do this for her.
