Submit To The Boss Lucia And August Novel Chapter 822 – Meet Again
This purposeful pas de deux was scripted in her plan, even a single sentence was practiced many times in her mind, for example, what tone and expression she should have.
Reggio was a suspicious and cautious person, so to make sure of everything, he would always carry the important stuff with him. After Lucia spent a long time investigating and focusing, she learned about where he often put the stuff, and, one of them was inside his belt sandwich around his waist.
And the more zeal she had shown, the more likely he would find out. So she treated him in a cold and rejective way to catch more of his attention. In this way, she took the opportunity to get the chip. Just the moment when she pinched her finger on his waist.
The chip was stuck between her fingers. To make herself less suspected, she tried to get closer to his chest, intentionally. After this series of movements, her palm was dampened by her sweat, and so was her dress.
Lucia didn’t dare to stay any longer. After she made it seem like she had gone to the bathroom, she hurried to the fire exit nearby at once. She used the staff lift to the power distribution unit, to turn off part of the electricity supporting some crucial cameras, then she arrived VIP floor.
These two years, she had experienced too many scenes like this, which was already a piece of cake for her. She entered Reggio’s room, as easily as blowing off dust. She made a copy of the members’ information inside the chip with her devices prepared in advance.
These people mostly had nothing to do with the work in Cardiff and were all involved in illegal contact offshore. She kept her head down and hurried out of the room.
While she was thinking about how to put the chip back into Reggio’s belt sandwich as planned, she ran into another person unexpectedly.
Maybe she was too afraid of being found out that her heart skipped a beat.
When she was going to apologize, a smell of mint was in her nose. So familiar, but at the same time, strange. The smell was so familiar… Too familiar that no matter how many years, even a thousand years… It would always be a smell that she could never, never forget.
She raised her eyes, stunningly, dazedly. She stared at the angular face. Her heart stopped beating. All the blood from her body surged up.
“August…” Her voice was hoarse, and slightly trembled. Not until more words came out, her throat was too sore and tight to make any voice.
The man in front of her seemed to have nothing different as before. The freezing and apathetic aura was threatening. His thin lips stretched slightly, and then a voice slowly raised, with dislike in it. “Do we know each other?”
The corridor was in quietness. Too quiet that she can clearly hear the sounds of the two breathing. Lucia could not believe her ears, only to stare at him in shock. She gently replied, “I am Lucia… Lucia Mitchell!” “I don’t know.”
“How is it possible…?” She self-mumbled stunningly. \She had not reacted back, then her tiny hand caught his wrist subconsciously. “Where were you these two years? Why are you acting like you don’t know me? I am YOUR WIFE!”
Seeing her eyes red, August can’t help but feel disgusted. He pushed her away with force. Watching her staggering, he seemed to just leave her alone, only checking the place she touched just now. ‘This trick is too old. I have a girlfriend already. Please behave yourself.”
BOOM. Something exploded in Lucia’s head. As he turned, about to leave, she had no time to think more but managed to
follow his steps, which was tough for her in these high-heel shoes. “August!”
Timothy’s immature voice came from her headset suddenly. Even if he could always stay calm, now he was a bit nervous to say, “Mom, calm down! It may be a trap. We can look into these things later!” No way! There was a voice raging constantly in her mind.
She was so eager to see the man in front of her, for two years. Now she finally found him. She did not want to
miss any second anymore.
“Hurry up! Get the chip back! We are out of time!” Timothy’s nervous voice came
from it again. “Reggio had already found out!”
Not until he finished, the uneven footsteps came from the lift. And, they were
approaching.
That noise was produced by iron shoes. For the ones who had always been
living with blood and knives, it would be very fatal weapons.
Obviously, it was Reggio.
‘Timothy, connect the device at once, copy the data, and send it to Flynt.”
There was no chance to put it back now. It was too late for her to do anything she
could only take her courage to be found out.
The moment she closed her eyes with nervousness, someone caught her wrist.
The next thing was that her mouth was covered tightly, and she was dragged to
the fire exit.
They two dodged the dim light in consensus. Her back was against the cold wall,
and she could not help but lowered her breathing.
“Are you hiding from him?” As he breathed, his husky voice raised in darkness.
Her heart skipped a beat. She stared at August in confusion, but still nodded
honestly. She lowered her voice as well. “As you pretended to be a stranger, why
are you still helping me?”
‘That’s because… He is not a good guy. And you…”
Even though it was totally dark around them, she can still feel the dislike in
August’s eyes.
In the dark, his articulated hand searched for something in her palm, and then
snatched the chip in it to his own palm. “Is this what you want?”
“You…”
“I don’t care who you are or what you gonna do, but, go back your way here.”
With these words, he put the chip into his pocket and walked out of the fire exit
with big strides.
Lucia tried to stop him from leaving, subconsciously, but only to draw a blank.
Just in the blink of an eye.
She had too many worries and doubts, too many questions to tell. And now the
emotions turned into warm flows in her heart.
He was protecting her! It was August!
“Mom, first we should leave here now.”
Lucia regained some sanity. The view of his back was so resolute, and it lingered
in her mind. She gritted her teeth and through the fire exit, she came back to the
lobby.
The music was still going. It seemed like no one noticed her absence, and
Reggio came back into the crowd very soon. After examining himself for some
seconds, he walked in her direction with quick strides.
“Lucia Mitchell, give it back.” He said, with faint aggressiveness, and he was
grasping her wrist tightly.
Anyway, the chip was not on her any longer, so the last nervousness had gone in
her heart. Facing Reggio again, she even acted more natural than before.
“Mr. Smith, you can tell me what you want instead of embarrassing me in public.
I
am Timothy’s mother, will I look for trouble for these small benefits?”
Hearing her words, the anger on his face exacerbated. He shot out his hand to
snatch her handbag. “I got something necessary lost. Only you had been so
close to me. So, I am sorry.”
