Submit To The Boss Lucia And August Novel Chapter 586 – Was It a Show for Her to See?
Lucia’s most recent memory of Adeline was from five years ago. At that time, she was a popular actress. She was close to August, and their relationship appeared to be more intimate than others. After she went abroad, her name was never heard of again.
After returning to the country, Adeline’s name was nothing more than a gust of wind. After the wind had passed, it disappeared without a trace. However, she did not expect that she would meet her again under such circumstances.
Now, she was still by August’s side. The two of them looked very close to each other. Now that August had divorced Jeanne, it was normal for him to have another woman by his side. However, for some reason, Lucia felt empty and weirdly uncomfortable.
Her gaze inadvertently swept to the other side of the table. Obviously, August had also seen her. But now, he was looking at Adeline as she sat opposite him. His face was calm, and the corners of his lips were raised. It was as though there was no one else in his eyes.
She sniffled, and an indescribable sense of loss welled up in her heart. At this moment, Paul suddenly called out her name softly, asking, “Lucia, what’s
wrong?” Lucia snapped back to her senses and hurriedly smiled apologetically at him. She then said softly.
“It’s nothing. I was just thinking about something…” “Alright.” Paul nodded slightly and asked gently, “Well, what do you think of my
proposal?” “Sorry. What was it?” Lucia asked before she could fully understand what he meant.
Paul was not in a hurry. He curled his lips and patiently repeated what he had
just said. “We will have a wedding in Austos. First of all, it is because we skipped
the wedding and our parents were not there when we signed the papers. I’ve
always regretted this a little. Second of all, I want everyone to know that you are
my wife and not just any woman.”
Lucia lowered her eyelids. Her heart was a mess, and she could feel it thumping
in her chest. She took a deep breath, not knowing how to respond to Paul’s
proposal.
The reason why she agreed to be with Paul was that Timothy and Janet needed
a father as they grew up, and Paul was undoubtedly the best choice. In addition,
he liked the idea very much, so the two of them got married happily.
However, it had been five years. Timothy and Janet had grown to love Paul as
their father. She was unwilling to wake up from this dream as well, so she had
been living in a daze all this while. But now, she should make a choice. It was
either to accept him or to separate from him.
Just as she was lost in her thoughts, Paul, who was facing her, suddenly reached
into the pocket of his suit. He touched it twice and took out a velvet box. He
slowly opened the lid and popped the question. A dazzling ring was in the center
of the black velvet. Lucia’s heart trembled slightly, and she was a little surprised.
It seemed as though he knew what she wanted to ask, so Paul said unhurriedly,
“To be honest, I had this ring custom-made long ago. I have always kept it with
me, but I never told you. What happened today was like a thorn in my heart. The
wound kept bleeding, but 1 couldn’t remove the thorn. I now feel that the time is
right for me to tell you what I’ve been wanting to say.”
His tone was sincere, and his gaze was firm. Looking at him, Lucia was
inexplicably touched. She took a deep breath as her mind raced between the two
choices. Just then, she suddenly thought of something.
She quickly raised her eyes and looked at the people diagonally across from her.
She did not know what were August and Adeline talking about. The two of them
sat close together with a smile on their faces. The atmosphere was harmonious
and suggestive. The handsome man and beautiful woman were quite an eyecatching pair, and they were especially right for each other.
Lucia felt a sharp pain in her heart. For some reason, it made her feel a little
uncomfortable. After pausing for a moment, she retracted her gaze and bit her
lower lip, hesitating
Two seconds later, she suddenly came to her senses. She looked up at Paul,
who was sitting opposite her with hopeful eyes. She suddenly felt guilty.
How could she still be thinking about August in this kind of situation? Moreover, it
he could be in new relationships, why couldn’t she have a new life?
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. When she looked up,
she saw Adeline and August sharing some food. The two of them looked at each
other and smiled. It was sweet and warm. However, it was just too much for her!
She bit her lower lip slightly and lowered her eyes for a while. Finally, she looked
up at Paul. “Alright, let’s have the wedding” Earlier on, Paul had been completely
tense while waiting for her answer. Upon hearing her answer, his eyes
immediately flashed with joy.
“Great!”
He shook the ring box as he spoke, his face overflowing with joy. “Can I put the
ring on you?”
Lucia smiled and did not refuse. She gave him her hand, ching as he slowly put
the time on her tinger. The ring was neither too big nor too small and it made her
hand look exceptionally delicate. Lucia immediately telt a little touched.
This moment came a little too suddenly, so Lucia felt as though she was in a
dream. She lowered her head and looked at her finger. The ring had a silver glow
to it as the diamond on it sparkled and twinkled.
Suddenly, she felt an intense gaze looking straight at her. Lucia took a deep
breath and subconsciously raised her head to meet that gaze. At the other table,
August was looking down at his phone, not even sparing a glance at her.
Lucia took a deep breath and tilted her head. Could it have been her
imagination?
At this moment, she heard Paul’s voice as he spoke. “The size is just right. It’s a
good fit. Let’s finish the food quickly, and I’ll take you home after this.”
“Okay.” She looked up and smiled at him.
After twenty minutes, they finished their meal and left the restaurant. After their
departure, August’s face slowly darkened as he tell into deep thought.
Adeline, who was sitting opposite him, was drinking her fruit juice as she stared
at him. It continued for a while before she smiled. “It seems that Mr. President
Adams is quite loyal and innocent!”
Hearing the sarcasm in her tone, August frowned and said coldly, “What
nonsense are you talking about?”
Adeline smiled and pointed her chin toward the seat where Lucia was just now.
She raised her eyebrows and said, “It was rare for you to smile at me just now. In
fact, it was just a show for the one over there to see, right?”
“Hal, only you know me best.” August laughed bitterly.
Initially, he had met up with Adeline for some business. He did not think he would
run into Lucia and Paul at the same restaurant. When he saw them together, he
was inexplicably upset. Earlier on, he had been trying his best to restrain himself
while behaving casually in front of Lucia. He didn’t expect Adeline to read his
mind..
Adeline smiled while gracefully cutting the steak and said jokingly, “If you like her,
just go after her. The situation now is different than it was five years ago, I won’t
be jealous of her again.”
August glanced at her and smiled. “Yes, now you are the owner of Zenith. You
are powerful and lack nothing “
The smile on Adeline’s face stiffened when she heard the man’s words. She then
replied faintly, “What do you mean by that? If you had not accepted me, I would
still have chosen you. I don’t regret my decision.”
As she spoke, she fixed her gaze on August.
August pretended not to see it. He sipped his wine and said lightly, “In short, I’ll
leave the matter I told you today in your good hands. If you really can’t find
anything about it, it doesn’t matter.”
Adeline smiled and quickly reverted to her indifferent attitude. “Don’t worry! I will
try my best.”
“Alright. In that case, I’ll be leaving first.”
As August spoke, he wiped his lips with a tissue. Just as he was about to turn the
wheelchair away, he suddenly thought of something. He turned to look at Adeline
and asked, “Where is the surveillance room here?”
