Chapter 112

August walked to the Vice President's Office. When he opened the door, he saw Ted leisurely sipping tea'®

on the couch.'®

Hearing the sound of the door, Ted looked up at August with a false smile and said

Mr. Stebbing."'®

It was a simple sentence with a hint of sarcasm.'®

Hearing that, Ted chuckled. Instead of getting up, he patted the couch beside him and said, "Come and'

sit down, August."'

"No, thanks." August's face was sullen and cold. "I just came over to ask. Since when did the company'

have a punishment of wiping the floor by hand?" Ted paused, pretending to be confused

Ted smiled and said in a casual tone, "You don't have to be so serious, August. I used to manage them'

it works. They'

might not remember what you say even if you scold or yell at them, but they'd

emotions in his deep, dark eyes. "But you're not in the subsidiary now. I believe you as soon as he heard that. August was obviously warning Ted to put himself in the right place. Ted could do whatever he wanted in the subsidiary, but now in the headquarters, he had to report to the President no matter how arrogant he'

was.'

Ted's eyebrows were knitted. He looked colder and colder as he watched August like a hawk, refusing to'

budge.'

August was not scared at all. He stared back at Ted without showing any weakness.'

After a few seconds, Ted curved his lips first. As if to lighten the atmosphere, he chuckled and said, "You'

are quite protective of this girl, August. Is she special to you?"'

August's dashing eyebrows furrowed. Without pausing, he replied immediately. "If it were any other' employee in the company, I would have stood up for them as well."'

Ted smiled at him in a meaningful way, "Really?"'®

August curved his lips symbolically. "Are you doubting me, Mr. Stebbing?" "No Ted looked away and reached out to pour a cup of tea. "Join me for some tea?" August said lightly, "No, thanks, Mr. Stebbing. You can take your time and enjoy it yourself." After that, he turned directly to leave'®

Ted looked colder as he raised his eyes and watched August from behind'®

He hadn't expected that after just a few years, August would turn into a man to be reckoned with from a'

young and inexperienced boy Watching August from behind as his figure went out of sight, Ted laughed sneeringly. August couldn't make any waves no matter how tough he was! After all, Ted was not the only one who wanted to mess with him.'®

In the President's Office, Lucia stood in front of the desk, looking at the man in front of her uneasily'

It had been five minutes since they came in, but August still had no intention of opening his mouth to'

speak'

After another while, August finally raised his head and looked over at her. "I heard from Burton that something almost happened to you last night."'®

Thinking of what had happened last night, Lucia couldn't help but feel bitterly disappointed. She gritted'

her teeth and said, "Yeah."'

Emotions were surging in August's eyes as his grip on the phone slowly tightened.'® receive a call from'

her when it happened yesterday.'

If Burton hadn't mentioned it, he would have been unaware of it at all.'

"Slap!"'

Her heart felt like it was bound by something. Lucia was a little breathless. She bit her lower lip with her teeth and looked up at August with her bright eyes, asking, "If I had called you, would you have come to help me?"'

August frowned and found himself speechless at the moment.' She was right. Even if she had called him last night, he might not have been able to make it to her.'® slightly red'®
