Submit To The Boss Lucia And August Novel Chapter 721 – Overcoming Her Fear
The next day, Lucia went out with sore legs. As soon as she entered the underground training hall, she saw Sophie looking at her with a meaningful smile. Being stared at like that, she felt uncomfortable, so she asked in embarrassment, “Do look weird today?”
“Yes, Lucia. You look weird.” Her tone was gossipier than her expression, sounding greasy. Lucia touched her cheeks with the back of her hand and muttered curiously, “I think I look all right.” After Sophie walked around her, the light in her eyes got brighter.
And then, she nudgedher and whispered, “Did you have sex last night?”Hearing this, Lucia immediately blushed, hurriedly turned around, covered Sophie’s mouth with her hand, and then rolled her eyes at her speechlessly.
August and Joshua had changed into t army green shirts, so they loo ed stronger and more upright today. “Are you still in the mood to joke? I will make you cry today!” Joshua taunted in a deep voice, gr bbed Sophie’s wrist, and pulled her away.
The blush on Lucia’s face hadn’t faded yet, so when she saw August standing in front of
her, her cheeks became even
redder. Then, she lowered her head and asked softly, “Won’t Dr. Capet train together with
me today?”
“No, Joshua will teach her alone.” August gently held her soft little hand and whispered, “I
hope you can complete
today’s training.”
While talking, they walked toward a closed room nearby. The moment the heavy iron door
opened, the blush on Lucia’s
face instantly disappeared, and her face became pale.
The room was so big that even her breathing had a faint echo. After entering the
door, she saw a huge red platform. At
the farthest end of the platform stood several red and white circular targets. All
kinds of weapons were hanging on the
dark green walls on both sides, giving a cold feeling.
Lucia couldn’t help taking two steps back with fear in her eyes after recalling
some horrible memories, and her slender
body trembled uncontrollably.
She squatted down and held her head in pain when the scene of her pointing a
gun at August in the house popped into
her mind again.
“Lucia, it’s all over!” August hurried forward to hold her into his arms and
comforted her softly, saying, “Calm down! No
one can hurt you now.”
Lucia ignored his words, closed her eyes, and muttered to herself, “I don’t want
to do it! I can’t do it!”
“Lucia!” August suddenly felt a knot in his throat, and heartache quietly
overflowed out of her heart, but he hurriedly
held it back.
He would not soften his heart now because he wanted her to face it. Even if the
memory of that house was deeply buried
in her heart, it would haunt her all the time. He couldn’t let her live under its
shadow forever.
He frowned deeply, held her shoulders to let her face him, unknowingly raised his
voice, and said in a stern tone, “Look
at me! If you want to stay in Griffith Organization, you must overcome it! You can’t
escape!”
“August, please!” Lucia murmured in a crying voice and clutched his sleeve
tightly as if grasping a life-saving straw. When he saw her helpless expression, a
trace of heartache flashed across his eyes. Then, he leaned over and whispered
into her ear, “Give up! This road is not suitable for you!”
Lucia raised her head hesitantly with tears on her fan-like eyelashes, and there
was hesitation in her misty eyes. Should she give up now?
She had made a painstaking effort to get this opportunity. So, she did not want to
give up or lose the opportunity to stay
by August’s side. But these things…
After a long time, she struggled out of his embrace, barely got up on her
trembling legs, wiped the tears off the corners of
her eyes, and said firmly, “If the same thing happens again, I will not make myself
flustered again.

Then, she nodded vigorously at him and said, “Let’s begin!”
Rewards
August responded softly, pulled her to the edge of the red platform, took a
relatively easy to use gun from the wall, and placed it in front of her. Lucia was
not familiar with guns, so she thought it was heavy. But she still gritted her teeth
and persisted, holding the gun at a position parallel to her jaw.
August wrapped his arm around her shoulders, helped her adjust the gun’s
position, and said in a deep voice, “Your arms.
must not tremble. If you want to hit the target, you must overcome the fear in
your heart.”
Hearing this, she took a deep breath, adjusted her posture according to his
guidance, and fixed her eyes on the red
bull’s-eve in the distance through the front sight.
With a loud “bang”, the bullet got out of the barrel, pierced the air, and flew
straight forward. When the enormous
impact force bounced, Lucia involuntarily took a step back and leaned against
August’s warm chest.
When they looked at the target in the distance together, they found the silver bullet she
had shot out was firmly
embedded in the target. Although it had not hit the center, it had not missed the target
either.
“August!” She turned around, threw herself into his arms with joy in her eyes, and shouted
happily, “I did it! Have you
seen it?”
August unconsciously smiled and said softly, “Not bad. It seems you are tlented in
shooting guns.”
“I’ve never heard people praise others like you. It’s too perfunctory. I am amazing to hit the
target with my first shot,
right?” Lucia pouted, pretending to be displeased.
“You are indeed amazing.”
Hearing this, Lucia was satisfied and asked curiously, “What about you? How was your
first shot?”
August responded calmly, “I hit the bullseye.”
Then, the training ground fell into dead silence.
Lucia finally understood why he had been reluctant to praise her. It turned out that her
performance was really just “not
bad” in his eyes. She was no match for him.
She raised her gun again, pursed her lips, and said, “Dr. Capet is right. There is an
unbridgeable gap between human
beings and gurus.”
In the monitor room upstairs, Joshua and Flynt were watching every move of Lucia and
August on the screen together. “Lucia is talented!” Joshua couldn’t help taunting, “She is
much better than Sophia. That stupid woman missed the
target every time after practicing shooting for an entire morning.”
Flynt felt very satisfied when looking at Lucia on the monitor and said in a deep voice,
“People’s potential is unlimited.
Sophie can’t focus on the training because she doesn’t have enough motivation. It seems
Lucia can go home soon.” “Go home?”
Joshua was surprised to hear it and asked, “Isn’t
there a task in a few days? Won’t Lucia participate?” “The headquarters has sent other
people to carry out the task, and Lucia will support them.” When a gloomy light flashed
across Flynt’s eyes, he added, “The training today is her last hurdle. She won’t be able to
execute tasks smoothly
unless she can overcome her fear.”
Joshua frowned slightly when thinking about Flynt’s words carefully. After a few seconds,
he thought of something and
exclaimed in surprise, “Do you mean the headquarters sent her over?”
Flynt nodded slightly and turned off the monitor with a sullen face.
