Submit to the Boss He Rules the Boardroom and the Bedroom novel Chapter 265

Facing his cold gaze, Lucia clenched her fists, hesitated for a second, and said softly, "I'm sorry, but there is an unexpected accident..." No one gave her the privilege of absenteeism. It was her fault that she was late for work, so she could not blame him for criticizing her.

Lucia knew she was wrong. So, before August could reply, she took a deep breath and apologized, "I'm sorry, President Adams. I won't make the same mistake again."

Hearing her words, August swallowed the words on the tip of his tongue. After a pause, he asked coldly, "Do you have anything to say about the leak of the plan?"

When Lucia heard this, her heart skipped a beat. She had planned to take the initiative to talk about this matter. But now, August had asked about it first. So, things had become hugely different. As soon as he mentioned it, she was put in a passive state. Since he had brought it up first, it meant he had already suspected her.

Gritting her teeth, she looked up at him and said word by word, "I sent the plan to Eaton according to your order. And I didn’t do anything to harm the Lion group."

Her tone was affirmative without any hesitation. Hearing this, August frowned slightly, and his expression became gloomier. She looked quite righteous, but the leak of the plan must have something to do with her.

August lowered his eyes, picked up the pen on the table with his slender fingers, and asked coldly, "Did you know that the Flying Group signed the contract with JV Multinational Group?"

Hearing this, Lucia was slightly startled. She had heard of JV Multinational Group before. Il was not small, but its strength was inferior to that of the Lion group. However, it also had resources and channels, so it was a rival that should not be underestimated.

Unexpectedly, they had gotten that seven-hundred-million-dollar project in the end. But it was indeed quite coincidental.

Lucia took a deep breath, looked up at August, and replied, "No, I don't."

Hearing her words, he suddenly tightened his grip on the pen and said with a cold light in his eyes, "You don't know? Or are you pretending not to know?"

Then, he straightened up with a cold expression and said, "Do you know who is in charge of the project in JV Multinational Group?" Before Lucia could speak, he gave the answer, saying, "Jamie

Nordhaus."

Jamie used to have a close relationship with her. When Lucia heard this, she was stunned. This name was both familiar and unfamiliar to

her, but she hadn't heard it for a long time. After a few seconds, she suddenly understood what August meant by saying this! He was suspecting that she had leaked the plan for Jamie!

She widened her eyes, looked up at him in shock, and said, "I didn't know it's him. I haven't seen him for a long time."

Seeing panic flashing across her face, August sneered, "Really? But isn't everything too coincidental?"

After the business had been leaked, JV had benefited the most. It was her that had delivered the plan, and she happened to be familiar with the person in charge of the project in JV. These coincidences could arouse a lot of suspicions.

Seeing his expression, Lucia felt a little depressed and angry, so she gritted her teeth and said, "I have a clear conscience. But if you want to put this crime on me, I will have nothing to say."

At such a time, if he didn't want to believe her, she couldn’t clear her name no matter how hard she tried.

Looking at her expression, August frowned and said coldly, "Since this matter has nothing to do with you, you must figure out a way to prove your innocence."

Things had developed to this point, so even if he believed her, she still needed to show evidence to prove her innocence. Only in this way could she stop the crowd from blaming her.

Lucia was speechless, biting her teeth. She had no evidence at all.

Jeanne could be said to be a witness, but she had gotten off the car halfway. So, Lucia still could not prove she had not done it. All kinds of thoughts popped into her mind together, but there was no clue.

In the end, August looked at her coldly and said, "Fine! You can go back to work now."

Lucia took a deep breath, responded, and turned to leave. The moment the door was closed, her heart was filled with coldness.

In fact, during the moment of silence just now, she had thought a lot. She deserved to be under suspicion in this matter, and she was not afraid that others would accuse her or misunderstand her. What she cared about most was whether he believed her.

Judging from his attitude just now, she knew that he didn’t believe her. A

Even though they had known each other for a long time and had gone through life-threatening dangers together, he still refused to believe her.

After getting off work, Lucia was a little absent-minded. When she was about to leave the company, she suddenly thought of Paul, so she picked up her mobile phone, called him, and asked, "Hey, Paul, how are you feeling?"

She thought he was resting at home now. Unexpectedly, Paula smiled
