Submit To The Boss Lucia And August Novel Chapter 809 – You Are Exceptional
“You’re back?” Lucia rubbed her eyes and asked subconsciously as she got up. Did you have dinner?” August nodded. “Why are you sleeping here?” Lucia picked up the notebook on the floor and chuckled. ‘1 was going to review it, but I fell asleep within a few minutes.”
The pottery on the table wobbled as the notebook brushed against it. “No!” Lucia screamed, catching the pottery before it fell on the floor. She
breathed a long sigh of relief. It took me a long time to put it back together!’ she complained as she handed it to August.
August raised his eyebrows at the “family of four” snuggled together in her hand. His mood changed for the better and he couldn’t resist teasing her, ’ Did you make it?” Lucia was angry with August when she was making the pottery so she took it for him.
She called herself stupid every time she saw it. She could only avert her eyes and make an excuse, “It was one of Timothy and Janet’s birthday presents.
The three of us made it together.” August didn’t believe it, but he took the pottery and placed it in the middle of his desk.
“I like this present.” His lips curled into a smile. Lucia’s face suddenly felt hot as if she had been caught in a lie. She looked up stubbornly. Who cares? It belongs to Timothy and Janet.” August didn’t retort but looked closely at the pottery and said slowly, ‘ They’re better than this.”
“Is he saying it’s ugly?’ Lucia frowned and was about to retort when she felt a firm grip around her waist. Before she knew it, her face was pressed against August’s hot chest. The perfume on her hair went up August’s nose. He could even feel her body stiffen.
Subconsciously, he tightened his arms around her. Her soft body relaxed his nerves that had been tense for days. He leaned over and put his head on her neck to smell her. Lucia’s mind kept blank for a long time. She remembered them arguing the last time they were together in the study.
A lot of things had happened recently. August was not a machine. He must be feeling tired. With this in mind, she put her thin arms around his waist and asked softly, ‘ Is there something tricky?” ‘Yes,’ August whispered, and I don’t know how to handle it.”
Lucia’s words had been ringing in his head for the past few days. He couldn’t calm down no matter how much he worked. He thought Lucia understood
everything, but it proved that she was never impressed by him.
Lucia thought he was talking about work and encouraged him, “You’re the pride
of Timothy and Janet and the spine of Lion Group. You’re capable of handling
anything.”
You’re exceptional,” August said subconsciously. Everyone knows I love you
except you.”
Lucia’s eyes widened in an instant. She wondered if she was hallucinating and
she subconsciously wanted to get out of August’s arms. It was the first time
August had said he loved her in the last six years. She couldn’t believe she was
hearing those words. “What… did you say…”
“I love you.”
August’s melodious voice rang in her ears again. Before she could say anything,
he leaned over and kissed her on the lips. The temperature in the study rose at
once.
“Burton, how’s it going?”
Burton touched his nose. “I’ve talked to Mr. Adams. It depends on him.”
Will Daddy really say such mushy things?” Janet murmured and stared curiously
at the stairs as if she could see the study at the end of the hall through them.
“Is it so hard to say ‘1 love you’?’ Timothy suddenly turned to Burton and asked
curiously, Burton, have you ever said that to Paula?”
Burton was speechless and decided to confess his love to Paula.
It was peaceful tonight in the Adams villa, but it was chilling in another upscale
house. With a bang, the laptop was swept off the table and onto the floor and
shattered into pieces.
‘Isn’t she a pediatrician? Why’s she a psychologist who’s studied abroad? No
wonder her eyes were so sharp. She kept reading my mind that day. I can’t let
her get in my way!’ Edmund’s hand trembled slightly. He could barely restrain his
anger.
His assistant said carefully on the other end of the line, ‘We can’t make a move
on this Ms. Capet for now. She has Jones Group behind her and she’s
connected to a strange company. I can’t figure out her real background yet.”
With another bang, the phone was sent flying and landed right at Phillip’s feet. A
deathly hush fell over the living room.
Phillip cowered in the corner, clasping her hands around his knees.
Anger welled up in Edmund’s heart again when he saw Phillip’s frightened eyes.
He’d rather Phillip have birth defects. If he could keep Lucia with him, he would
have another healthy child! Furious, he strode forward, pulled Phillip up, and
asked through gritted teeth, “I’m your father. Wasn’t I good to you? Why did you
listen to Sophie?”
Phillip trembled with fear. He could only struggle with the tears on his little face.
“Daddy… Hug…”
Edmund didn’t stop but tightened his grip and yelled at Phillip with red eyes, “You
must call Lucia Mommy! You hear me?”
His voice was so deafening and terrifying that Phillip suddenly stopped crying,
trembled violently, and rolled his eyes as if he had been electrocuted. The
yellowish liquid permeated his pants and dripped onto the floor.
