Submit To The Boss Lucia And August Novel Chapter 826 – You’ve Given Yourself Away!
Excuse me but I’m not interested in what you said.” August got past Lucia straightly with an indifferent look. “Don’t play the bluff to me. It wont work. I hate women with tricks.” Lucia gave a shudder and answered out of reflection, “I admit I used some tricks out of my own intention.
But I’ve never intended to hurt you. All I ask is if you could come with me.” August halted and enquried with squinting eyes, For what reason should I believe a cunning woman like you?” For this.” Lucia strode up and presented him the wallet with both hands.
Inside the wallet was a family photo where kids were grinning innocently and Lucia was smiling in the cuddle of a man, whose angular face was identical to August.
The only difference, however, is the man in the photo was eyeing the woman in his arms with a fond and tender look, while August’s eyes now were only brimful of aloofness and dislike. Yet something ambiguous still flicked in August’s eyes as he pinched the photo tighter.
Conscious of the subtle reaction of his, Lucia asked with a wry smile, “My missing husband resembles you a lot, doesn’t he?” She ignored August’s silence and just went on, “I only hope you could help to visit my husband’s elder family. They miss him so much.’
August returned the wallet to her and finally nodded slowly after some consideration. As a faint sneer of satisfaction crossed her face, Lucia couldn’t help praising herself for her excellent acting which was way better than Janet’s assessment and could even cheat the shrew eyes of August.
“I can only give you a morning for that trip. Just lead me there.” August then got on the Maybach and became much laid back inside it, even keeping observing the driver closing.
He then came with his conclusion coldly, “It’s said in the business circle that Mr. Adams is in such fidelity that she’s never thought of
remarrying. But I guess she does have her smart plan, doesn’t she?”
Noticing August was getting at the handsome young driver, Lucia burst into
laughter. He’s Burton’s cousin.’ explained she. “As I sent Burton and Paula to
another city for the business of the branch company, this young chap just came
to take the place of Burton.”
August didn’t seem to intend to go on with the conversation, only turning his head
to the views outside the window.
Lucia watched him with interest and finally sneered, August, you’ve given
yourself away.”
“You only see what you are allowed to see.” His voice was so low as though
explaining something, or just jeering her naivety.
Her smile froze. “Why didn’t you ask me who Burton and Paula are?”
‘1 don’t care about that.” his response was as indifferent as ever.
Lucia looked at him narrowly with the hope that she could locate some clue that
could give his disguise away. Yet to her disappointment, he really appeared as
nonchalant as he stated. If you really don’t know me, why did you help me that
night?” Lucia wouldn’t give up probing, You know Reggio and you took the chip,
that signifies you are well aware of its significance.”
When Lucia mentioned the matter of the chip, August’s angular face became
chillier as a hint of solemnity flashed in his eyes. ‘The content in the chip is too
important to be known by you. I’ll let you disappear form this world If it leaks out,
whoever is behind you.” warned he.
Sure enough! Lucia clenched her fists tighter, as things did go along the direction
she least unexpected. Not only was there a tie between Currer Sullen and
Reggio Smith, but August was deeply involved in it! ’Do you know what you are
doing. August?” she couldn’t help bellowing, “I’m bound to submit the content in
the chip, and I won’t allow you to get involved!”
Do you think you are able to?” he only gave her a cold snort, and quickly grasped
her by the neck, though not strenuously, “Don’t challenge me. I didn’t hurt you
only for the sake of your husband.”
Lucia quivered in despair. An inexplicable sense of bitterness welled up inside
her, for she had never expected there would be a day when August was
threatening her by choking her.
The two then talked no more until the car pulled over slowly in front of Evergreen
Cemetery. Lucia led August through the path among the gravestones until they
stopped in front of one. She seemed to know the route well. Placing the flowers
in front of the gravestone respectfully, Lucia whispered, Mother, August is back.’
Gazing at the clean gravestone which obviously had been attended to frequently.
August went with a growing emotion and made a bow as Lucia spoke. Seeing
that, Lucia started sobbing. Holding back the tears strenuously, she choked, “I
hope you won’t blame me for not visiting you for so long, mother.”
You mother has always been kind and considerate, she won’t blame you for that.”
August answered and held her into his arms, “Thank you for all you’ve done…”
Feeling the familiar sense of security and hearing the magnetic low voice of his,
Lucia finally failed to suppress the grievance which she had buried inside in the
past two years. As her chests heaved violently in his arms, part of his suit was
soon drenched by her tears. Lucia didn’t cool down until her eyes were swollen.
They then went down the hill through a path behind the graveyard, one going
after the other.
‘Thank you for your kindness.” Lucia explained in a melancholy mood, “I was a
little carried away as you really resemble my husband. Sorry for making you
embarrassed.”
We ought to show due respect to the late family.’ he replied in a low voice. “But I
hope this is the last time we meet.”
His words pulled Lucia back into the reality like a harsh blow, and reminded her
of the remaining part of the plan. She just rubbed her eyes and nodded casually
as though she would not hound him any more. “May I send you back?” she
offered lightly. My car happens to be at the foot of the hill.”
They thus went back to town together. Yet the Maybach just went the other way
and headed for West Bank Restaurant, where another born actress was waiting –
Janet.
The atmosphere crackled with tension as August’s scowl turned grimmer like a
silent question to Lucia.
Well…’ Lucia stammered, keeping away from August involuntarily. “That’s my
daughter outside the car.”
Janet just opened the door of the car, totally ignoring the awkward atmosphere
inside. “You two are not hungry?” she asked curiously. Why not get off and grab
some food?”
This is also a part of your trick?” August said from between his teeth.
Lucia shook her head with a sense of guilty. Could you just accept the offer as we
are repaying your favor today?” she persuaded with an innocent look.
