Chapter 260 An Earth-shattering Event

Hearing this, Paula couldn't help laughing out loud, "A romantic encounter9 It will only happen in my dream1"

The two chatted and laughed, separated at an intersection, and went back home respectively After having dinner with Paula, Lucia was in a much better mood After returning home, she washed up and fell asleep as soon as she hit the bed

Early the next morning, Lucia finished the routine work at the President's Office ahead of time and then went back to her office to sort out the documents. August would not come to the company this morning. According to the schedule, he would go to the Flying Group to sign the contract and then have lunch with a business partner, so he would not come back until this afternoon. Since he was outside, Lucia's work naturally became easier. So, she felt happy and relaxed. When she was about to go to the pantry to make some coffee, Jasper hurried over and shouted, "Bad news, Lucia! Something big happened! She was slightly out of breath from running and almost bumped into Lucia. Seeing this, the latter quickly asked with a frown, "What's wrong? Clam down and tell me about it!"

Jasper handed her mobile phone to Lucia in fluster and said, "Read the news! The cooperation between our company and the Flying Group is screwed up!" Hearing her words, Lucia was stunned as if something had exploded in her ear with a bang. A few seconds later, she came back to her senses, hurriedly stretched out her hand to take over the phone, and read the news whose headline was, "The signing ceremony between the Lion group and the Flying Group has been canceled. It is suspected that the Lion group's plan has been leaked!"

Her hands were shaking when she swiped the screen with her fingertips. The news said, "The cooperation between the Lion group and the Flying Group, which has attracted much attention in Austos City, was suddenly suspended at the signing ceremony today. And the Lion group's reliability is questioned...” Although Lucia did not read the content below, she could guess what it would say. This was indeed a big event that could shock the entire Austos City! When this kind of news broke out, it was highly likely to be true. That was to say, their efforts into the seven-hundred-million-dollar project were all in vain now. They had been so close to success!

Lucia could not imagine how August was feeling now. How could the plan be leaked? Was there a spy in the company? A lot of questions popped into her mind, but she couldn't figure anything out now. She didn't come to her senses until Jasper asked, "What's wrong? Maybe you should call President Adams and ask him whether he needs us to make some preparations in the company now.”

Jasper was smart and thoughtful, but she was wrong to think so.

Lucia took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and said slowly, "No. I don't know what situation he is in now, so I can't rashly call him. If there is anything he needs US to do, he will take initiative to notify US."

Hearing this, Jasper nodded heavily and then said, "But we must do something, right?"

Seeing her anxious face, Lucia frowned, feeling a little flustered. Now that the news had broken out, this incident would spread throughout the company soon, and the employees would inevitably speculate about and discuss it.

Now, the most important thing was to steady the morale. August was dealing with the trouble outside. If something bad happened inside the company, it would add fuel to the flames.

Lucia gritted her teeth, looked up at Jasper, took a deep breath, and said, "Jasper, there is something we must do. Draft an email in the name of the President's Office and send it to every employee. Tell them they don't need to panic because President Adams is solving the problem. We must calm people down."

Jasper's eyes flashed with seriousness when she nodded, ''Okay, I'll do it right away!"

Seeing her leaving in a hurry, Lucia felt as if something was pressing on her shoulders, and even her breathing became heavy.

This thing was very strange. Why had the plan suddenly been leaked when the cooperation between the two companies was to be finalized? It was her that had sent it to the Flying Group. Before that, it had always been in August's hands. There should not have been any problem.

Was it because...

Lucia's eyes flickered when she thought of something, and she suddenly felt a little uneasy. No, she must go to meet August and ask him about it!

Then, Lucia had been paying special attention to the movements outside all the time. As soon as she heard any sound, she immediately got up and opened the door to see if it was August. But after she had waited for a long time, he had not come back.

After Jasper finished what Lucia had asked her to do, she immediately came over and said, "Lucia, the email does have some effect. But President Adams hasn't come back yet, so I'm very worried."

Lucia was also worried, but she must remain calm at such a time. When she was about to say something to comfort Jasper, there was a noise coming from the direction of the elevator entrance. She looked up and saw a group of people walking over.

They were all high-level executives of the company. And they were solemnly whispering to each other. They quickly passed the President's Office and went directly to the conference room.

Lucia's heart skipped a beat. She raised her head and looked over but didn't see the man she wanted to see. It seemed an urgent high-level meeting. The other executives were all there, but August had not arrived.

When she was in confusion, Jasper said, "President Adams is back!" Lucia hurriedly looked over and saw five people walking over. August was walking in the middle with a frown. His face was serious, his steps were big and hasty, and his body was exuding an icy aura. Lucia took a deep breath. Seeing August walking directly toward the conference room, she hurriedly caught up with him.

At the door, Burton looked back at her and said, "Lucia, we don't need your presence for the time being."

Lucia bit her lip and said, "But..."
