Submit To The Boss Lucia And August Novel Chapter 709 – New Cooperation
“Mrs. Adams, a gentleman surnamed Nordhaus is at the front desk downstairs. He wants to see you.” The secretary knocked on the door and reported respectfully. Mr. Nordhaus? Lucia glanced at the newly finalized bidding plan on the desk and helplessly shook her head.
Who else could it be? “Bring him to the President’s Office.” Soon, the secretary pushed open the door again before Jamie’s smirking face came into
view. He turned back, his finger brushing the secretary’s chin. His tone was as frivolous as ever. “Thank you, gorgeous.”
The secretary was surprised and then left the office with a flushed face. Lucia couldn’t help rolling her eyes. “Mr. Nordhaus, you’ve taken over Jevas Group, but your character hasn’t changed a bit,” she quipped. “Ouch! Don’t mention that to me. It gives me a headache.”
Jame roughly sat down on the couch and habitually put his foot on the coffee table. “Put your foot down,” Lucia snapped with a frown.
Startled, Jamie looked at her incredulously and then realized that she was just bluffing. Despite his reluctance, he put his foot back on the floor.
“You’re aggressive after you become Mrs. Adams. That really scared me.” “Not everyone is as derelict as you. August is obsessive about cleanliness. If he
learned about your behavior here, he would definitely break your leg.” She glared at him with feigned fierceness.
Feeling helpless, Jamie raised his hands to surrender and smirked, “I’m here to deliver money. Are you going to take it or not?” “Why not? Show me the money!” Lucia picked up the finalized contract and threw it to him, “I’ve been waiting for you to come.”
“Seriously? I’m the owner of the project. This feels like I’m begging you for cooperation.” He pouted. Lucia arched her brow and showed a knowing look. Jamie’s father was invited to their wedding when August and she got married.
He envied them so much and decided to get his son back on the right track as soon as he returned home. In the next week, he did a series of surprising things such as resigning and deciding on a marriage of convenience.
A confused Jamie was pushed to the front. Unwilling to be bound by this kind of marriage, Jamie openly defied his father. By focusing on his career, he could temporarily avoid his date. Now, he was badly in need of accomplishments to avoid stepping into the tomb of marriage.
“Why if Miss Jackalin is gentle, virtuous, kind-hearted, and elegant? Are you sure
you don’t want to give it a try?” she
asked curiously.
“Among the features you mentioned, which one do you think I like?” Jamie
showed a disdainful look, “Every single one of
them is terrifying. Combined, it’s a disaster.”
Lucia nodded. That was true. None of these features suited Jamie. If he married
this kind of woman, he would bully her
for sure. What he needed was a tough wife who would make him suffer.
Jamie caught the slyness in her eyes, looked up to the sky, and sighed, “Married
women are scary. I can tell that from
you.”
Something suddenly occurred to her, and a smile appeared in her limpid eyes. “I
know a lot of tycoons. Do you need me to
ask them about your fiancée?”
“I’m fine!” Jamie immediately waved his hand, his pretty face contorting, “Just
don’t add insult to injury. You’re
horrible.”
Lucia pulled a long face and pretended to punch him. He immediately picked up
the pen and signed the contract. Their
new partnership was then established on such an informal occasion.
“This is profitable. Aren’t you going to buy me a drink in return tonight?” He
handed the contract to her and leaned over
with an expectant look.
Lucia pushed all the documents to the front and pouted. “Do you think I have
time for that?”
“Oh…” he playfully dragged his voice and casually put her hands in his pant
pockets, “this might be the last time we
work together.”
Lucia paused from marking the document, squinted at him, and said in a teasing tone,
“Okay, I’ll drink with you.” Jamie smugly arched his brow. “I’ll see myself out.”
She hummed, looked at him, and muttered to herself, “I’m interested in meeting a genteel
and virtuous girl like Miss
Jackalin though.”
“Ugh…” He suddenly turned back and ground his teeth. Lucia’s depression was relieved a
bit. Sure enough, it felt good to
taunt people.
“Bye, Mr. Nordhaus.” In a good mood, she waved at Jamie, “See you tonight.”
Jamie could do nothing about it. He left in a huff and slammed the door shut. In fact,
drinking with her was not his real purpose. He just wanted to sit with her for a while and
talk about another project with her. There was a famous
consortium abroad wishing to work with the Jevas Group.
Although Jevas Group was the owner of the project, they couldn’t really undertake such a
big program. He intended to join hands with Lion Group. Together, we could make a deal
with the consortium. It was a key step for Lion Group. If they could get the deal, they
would have new markets to develop. Lucia was naturally down with it. They quickly
finalized
their cooperation and the sharing of profits. About to leave, Jamie suddenly changed his
mind.
“What’s wrong?” Curious about it, Lucia followed him to look at the counter and saw a
sexy lady.
Her figure and appearance were above average in the bar. Quite a few men were
attracted over to accost her. She flirted
with them but didn’t overstep the mark
“What a stunner!”
Jamie smacked his lips, “Only I can handle this kind of woman.”
He got up with the glass in his hand. Lucia hurriedly stopped him. “This girl has a refined
temperament. She can’t be the
daughter of an ordinary family. You’d better not act rashly.”
“There’s no way I’ll miss such a coquette. My driver will ride you home. I’ll go to meet her,”
he said before heading
toward the counter.
The woman saw him out of the corner of her eye and frowned. Before Jamie could accost
her, she said coldly, “We’re
from different worlds, sir. Save your breath and find another target.”
