Submit To The Boss Lucia And August Novel Chapter 823 – Return
“Let me go!” She warned in a low voice, trying to get rid of him. “Mr. Smith, this is my place. Please show some respect to me.”
Reggio didn’t find the chip he wanted, his face looked more disapproving.
Without a single word to explain, he shook off his hand and walked away in quick strides. Not until she can take a deep breath, a tall and upright figure heaved into her sight. August… Her fingers cannot help trembling, and her legs were heavy.
She straightened her back and went through the crowd, which is so tough. Seeing the man who she yearned for day and night, she paused her steps
suddenly. She started the scene in front of her, in disbelief.
She didn’t know when Currer walked to August, standing by his side. Her fair slim arm held his naturally, and her head even leaned on his shoulder.
This scene was dazzling to her. She balled her hand into a fist, with so much force that her fingernails even left some marks on her palm.
She shouted, and cried from the bottom of her heart. She wished that he would push Currer away. Unfortunately, he did not.
August gently put the hair over her forehead aside, as he did this, he whispered something beside her ears.
Then Currer chuckled girly and threw herself into his arms. She took steps back. The table nearby supported her or she would fail. She did her best to control the impulsiveness of questioning him and she kept telling herself — PANG!
Just a moment spacing out, the wine tower beside her fell onto the ground.
Everyone moved their gazes to her, and their expressions were hard to describe.
It was hard to imagine a woman who had so much authority in Austos now can
fall into such an awkward situation.
The bouquet of wine diffused in the surrounding air, and the bright red liquid
spilled on her pure white dress. She raised her head to look at August
subconsciously, trying to find anything, anything from his indifferent face, but he
stared at her like a stranger always.
Her heart fell. Her cold gaze fell upon Currer and at the same time Currer sideeyed in her direction.
After meeting each other’s eyes, there was panic for one second flashing across
her face, which seemed like meeting Lucia was out of her expectation. But she
adjusted herself quickly and become more intimate with August. It seemed that
she did not want to greet her.
These little things, Lucia had already caught all. Suddenly she came up with a
good idea. After taking a deep breath, she rubbed the wine stains on her dress,
walking towards Currer with big strides.
“Long time no see, Currer.” She talked first.
Currer held his arm intimately, the panic seconds before had already gone.
Now when she faced Lucia, there was only smug in her eyes. It’s like she was
the final champion.
“Wow, I would never think that you would be the first I met, my old friend.”
Her tone was in subtle disdain. With these words, she clung to his arms. And she
introduced gently, “This is my fiancé. August Adams.”
Fiancé…
Her eyes widened, but just for one second, it was back to normal. Her gaze
swept over August’s cold face, and slowly she opened her mouth. ” Currer, you
should be clear that August is my husband.”
Hearing this, August finally did something. Her brows furrowed as he tightened
his arms around Currer.
Her eyes shaded more, misplaced her gaze on them subconsciously.
Currer raised her voice in triumph. “Though I had been overseas these two
years, it didn’t mean that I was absent from reading financial news. Ms. Mitchell,
are you thinking of your dead husband when you see mine?”
Lucia was not irritated but she laughed. Things were shining in her eyes, darkly.
“My husband is still alive, and I will find, HIM.”
She emphasized the word “him” quite much, keeping her eyes on the deep pool –
which were his eyes.
“Well, I hope so. I hope you could find him, just as I found my fiancé.
However…”
Currer came closer to her with a lowered voice, reminding her, ‘Their names are
the same, August Adams. Ms. Lucia, you should beware of laying your hands on
my boyfriend.”
“I am not as nasty as you, coveting my husband!” Saying this, she shot out her
hand and caught her wrist. The space between them narrowed.
Her voice filled with freezing coldness, she said word by word, “All the people in
Austos know about August. If you dare to swagger through the streets, be ready
to return.”
“You…” The voice of Currer went down a bit. “My husband had always been
working in Cardiff, so he knew nothing about things that happened in Chea.
Return? It doesn’t make sense at all.”
She had never seen Lucia like this before. She had to admit that she was kind of
scared. Two years had passed, and Lucia had become a big deal that can
threaten her.
As Currer finished, not until Lucia reacted, she felt a force, which scratched her
arm and pushed her away. After he did this. August held Currer into his arms
gently, showing protectiveness.
Now, Currer was like a frightened bunny, hiding in his arms obediently. But the
complacent in her eyes was even more. If she can, she will stand in front of her
with her nose in the air.
“Miss. No matter what happened in the past between you and Currer, I won’t
allow you to harm my fiancée. If you dare to try again, I won’t be easy on you.”
The next thing she felt, was the warmness that suddenly fell on her shoulder,
which came from Edmund’s blazer. It wrapped her slim body inside. And then a
voice came behind her, which was gentle as water.
August gazed at him coldly with the same cold tone. “Who gives you the courage
to root for her?”
“I am asking her out, and I am willing to take on all these. Does that make
sense?” Edmund stared into August’s eyes with a fake smile.
“If you lay your hands on my woman, I hope you can bear the consequences,
too.’The coldness in August’s tone was downright. Even in the deepest place of
his eyes, there was no wave.
In the past, she always brought trouble to him but he always protected her,
exactly the same as he protected Currer now – The woman he was protecting,
had changed into another.
This kind of thing happened, not because they had broken up, but because
someone was operating behind them. She would never, ever, allow this to
happen.
As she came to this point, she straightened her back and forwarded her chin,
walked in front of him, and said, “Remember my name – Lucia Mitchell. It won’t
be a new one for you in the future.”
Something flashed in Edmund’s eyes. He put his arm around her shoulders. “It
was too late. Let me send you home.”
