Submit To The Boss Lucia And August Novel Chapter 773 – t’s just a lift of the finger
“You should have a positive attitude toward the world and be virtuous. Please ask yourself whether you deserve it or not.” August raised his eyebrows and brushed past Edmund with a shoulder rub as he was talking.
He walked to the center of the stage and stood there, grabbing Lucia’s slender waist. Lucia’s eyes were shining brightly. She stood on tiptoe and kissed August on the cheek. Thunderous applause immediately broke out from the audience.
Edmund put this scene into his eyes with a sullen face, pinching the goblet with his fingertips. A touch of viciousness flashed through his eves.
After the wedding, Lucia immediately took down the crystal necklace and put it in the jewelry box.
She never turned it out again. Seeing her empty neck, August never mentioned it again. Before Timothy and Janet started school, the shooting plan for the costume commercial was restarted. Lucia rushed to the studio with her two little babies and began her busy life again.
When the phone rang, Lucia looked at the name on the caller ID, raised a smile on her face, connected the phone, and quipped,
“Honeymoon back? “How did it go?”
Skylar’s voice sounded very nervous and serious, “Lucia, something has happened to Jamie’s company, and Lion group is likely to be involved. You and Mr. Adams should be psychologically prepared.”
Hearing this, Lucia’s face immediately changed. She asked anxiously, “Do you know what went wrong? How much progress have we made in finding a
solution?” “Jamie and I have taken the earliest flight back to our country after receiving the news.
He has rushed to the company now and specially asked me to tell you that transnational projects may have to be put on hold for the time being. It is said that it is a matter of mediation at home and abroad.”
“Since it is only a matter of mediation, the whole thing is not final. There must be a certain amount of leeway. It’s just an audit
investigation, and it is not directly rejected. There must be a way to solve it.”
Lucia’s fear was palpable in her tone. She tried to remain as cool as possible and
spoke softly to Skylar to console her.
Lucia hung up the phone worriedly after Skylar detailed the precise scenario.
The company had just stabilized, and the stock market had an echoing posture. If
she asked August to find a solution at this time, the shareholders would surely
know about this matter and make an uproar in the conference room again.
But now besides August, who else could help her!
Domestic and foreign mediation issues….
Most business people had no way to intervene in this kind of thing, and only the
relevant offices had the right to solve it….
As a person’s name suddenly came up in her mind, she secretly clenched her
cell phone.
After long time of hesitating, Lucia finally gritted her teeth and dialed the
telephone number of Edmund, “Mr. Shea, are you free for the moment? I have
something to ask you for help.”
Edmund’s voice was as gentle as ever. He appeared worried and asked, “Lucia,
I’m going to have a meeting now, so it’s not convenient to meet you. Is it
convenient to explain your matters on the phone?”
She rushed through the entire narrative, then remarked with anxiety, “I
understand that asking for your assistance so abruptly is presumptuous. But this
matter is very important to me, and I can’t tackle this problem on my own.”
Even if not for the interests of the two companies, Lucia couldn’t stand by and did
nothing because of all the times Jamie had come through for her.
Edmund was silent for a moment, “Lucia, Mr. Nordhaus has phoned me this
afternoon,” Edmund said in a tone that indicated he was in a pickle, “It is quite
difficult for me to intervene in this situation because it is outside of my purview.”
“I’m really sorry to bother you.” After hearing the reply, Lucia said with a deep
sense of loss in her tone.
When Edmund heard her tone, he immediately lowered his voice to comfort her,
and then said with a heavy voice, “Originally, I shouldn’t have been in charge of
this matter, but you helped me take care of Phillip, and I owe you a favor. I will try
my best to help with this matter, so don’t worry too much.”
“Really?” Lucia’s tone changed and the tone of surprise came out of the receiver.
“That’s very kind of you. I appreciate you taking care of this, a lot.”
“Lucia, there is no need to say thank you between you and me.”
The tone of Edmund’s voice was gentle and warm. Even though they were on
opposite ends of the phone, Edmund’s words could

nevertheless inspire confidence in Lucia. The smile slowly vanished from his lips
as Edmund hung up the phone. His was replaced by a cold and ruthless one.
His fingertips sped across the screen, sending a message to one of the contact
numbers in the address book, “The project that I ask you to control last time, you
can let it go now.”
Before this message was answered, Edmund watched the clock on the wall go
by minute by minute, calculated the time, picked up his coat, and walked out of
the office, dialing back Lucia’s number.
As soon as the phone was connected, Lucia’s anxious voice immediately
sounded, “Mr. Shea, this matter…”
Edmund’s gentle voice sounded and interrupted her, “Lucia, how would you
thank me for it?”
Lucia was stunned at first, and then realized the meaning of his words. She
immediately spread a bright smile on her face, “Whenever you need me, I will do
my best.”
“Then I do have a favor to ask of you.”
Edmund’s tone changed immediately. He adopted a tone that suggested he was
in a bind, “The aunt, who was invited to take care of
Phillip at home, just asked for leave. Could you possibly help me look after Phillip
for a day as I have a meeting here?”
Lucia glanced at Timothy and Janet, who were shooting a commercial not far
away, thinking for several seconds, then replied with a relaxed smile, “It’s just a
lift of the finger. I’ll take care of Phillip.”
After hanging up the phone again, Lucia’s nervousness and anxiety completely
vanished. After settling the two children and handing them over to Elijah, she
rushed tot’s home according to the positioning sent by Edmund.
Seeing her standing at the door, Phillip’s empty eyes focused instantly, joyfully
called “Mom”, and then dragged her into the living room.
Drawing pens of various colors were lying on the table, and unfinished paintings
were scattered on the ground. These paintings were all
“family portraits” in Phillip’s eyes. Without exception, the women in the paintings
had no facial features.
Lucia leaned over to pick up these pictures one by one and put them away.
Touching Phillip’s head with a warm smile, she asked, “Are you painting Mom
and Dad?”
Phillip nodded slowly. He pointed to Lucia’s face and then pointed to the woman
in the picture, whispering, “This is … Mom’ Seeing Philliplost in his thought, Lucia
felt a bitter feeling in her heart. She managed to hold up a smile and lowered her
voice in response, “Shall we finish them together?”
Phillip who seldom smiled then showed a shallow smile on his tender face and
put the pen on the table into Lucia’s hand.
He looked more sensible than his peers, didn’t make any demands, and showed
few emotions. People would have warm feelings towards him if they saw him.
Lucia immediately stretched out her arms and held him on the sofa,
accompanying him to finish the unfinished paintings one by one. When Edmund
quietly opened the door, what greeted him was their attentive look.
The cold
house on weekdays was very warm and beautiful, which really gave people a
feeling of “home”.
Unconsciously, a smile crept up on his face as he watched them. Then he
strolled slowly into the living room.
