Submit to the Boss He Rules the Boardroom and the Bedroom novel Chapter 266

She had never seen Lucia caring so much about Paul before. They two became closer than before because her brother saved Lucia! It seemed that there was still possible that Lucia became her future sister-in-law!

Upon hearing what she said, blushing, Lucia nudged her and said in a low voice, "Don't talk nonsense, Paula

Paula showed a smile with an understanding look and then shushed without saying anything else.

Seeing her like that, Lucia wanted to laugh. And when she was about to make fun of her, a voice suddenly came from the door. The door of the ward was pushed open by a young nurse, who was followed by August, the tall, cold-faced man.

Lucia was startled and froze in place. Paula next to her raised her hand and poked her, "Lucia, he..." How could that scumbag come here? Before they figured it out, August stepped forward and walked in.

The nurse in the ward just finished the inspection. After cleaning the tray and telling something to Paul, she turned around, being about to leave. By then, Paul raised his head and was stunned when he saw the man walking in.

August swept his eyes across the room lightly, and finally fell them on

Paul. He nodded to Paul slightly, "Hello, Mr. Thomas ."

/ Seeing August, Paul's eyes turned cold, and he politely replied, "Mr.

Adams , what's the matter?" They were not that close. Obviously, August came over not to visit him.

Without beating around the bush, August got straight to the point, "I want to have a talk with someone. After that, I’ll leave." As he spoke, he turned to look at Lucia beside him, meaning so obvious without concealing anything.

Lucia gasped in fear for seconds before she stabilized her mind.

Despite not knowing what August wanted to do, she still looked quite calm, "Mr. Adams, what's the matter?"

"Come out." After saying those words, August turned around to leave the ward.

Lucia was startled, and before she could react, Paula next to her said dissatisfiedly, "How rude! Lucia, I think you should not go."

Lucia took a deep breath and gritted her teeth before she said softly, "I'll go out for a while, and be back soon." After that, she gave Paula a reassuring smile and walked out. Since August came here to find, there must be something important.

After walking out of the ward, she saw a tall figure standing not far away and stepped forward, "Mr. Adams, what's the matter?'

August turned his head and looked at Lucia, his eyes darkened, and a 2/6 33 33X ’⁰⁴'*'

sarcastic smile appearing on his lips, "You came to the hospital directly after work. You really care about Paul."

The blatant sarcasm in his words made Lucia frown uncomfortably. She neither admitted nor denied his words, "What's the matter?" After frowning for seconds, August finally regained his composure and said, "Did anything unexpected happen the day you went to deliver the plan?"

Unexpected? At that moment, a face crossed Lucia's mind, and she was suddenly a little nervous. After hesitating for a moment, she opened her mouth and said lightly, "No."

Upon hearing this, August seemed to be a little down, and he asked again, "Really?"

Lucia took a deep breath and said in a firm tone, "No." She pretended to be calm, but some panic flashed across her eyes.

Speaking of something unexpected, it could only be Jeanne. But Jeanne, August's girlfriend, couldn't have done something to betray him. If she told him the truth, it would not help to solve the problem. What's worse, it might cause trouble to Jeanne and August. So after considering for a little, she thought it was better for her to deny it from the beginning. Besides, she owed Jeanne a favor.

August looked at her while fixing his eyes on her, as if to see through her. At the end, he withdrew his gaze, "Well, I see." After that, he turned

Seeing both of them leaving, Lucia let out a sigh of relief and turned back to the ward, while August got on the elevator with a gloomy expression.

Burton couldn’t help asking, "Mr. Adams, it is clear in the surveillance that Ms. Kelly also got into Ms. Mitchell's car. They left together. Why didn't Ms. Mitchell tell you that?"

It was normal for people to tell everything fishy in order to prove that they were innocent. But as for Lucia, she didn't say anything about it. What’s more, she chose to conceal it.

August frowned, looking a little serious. The reason why he went to investigate these was to help her, but he hadn't expected her not to a

cooperate at all. "Forget it. It's her own business." After saying those t

words, August pursed his lips tightly, not wanting to say anything more about Lucia .

It was a heavy burden for to the Lion group that the plan was leaked.

What's worse, another incident happened the next morning, which added fuel on the fire.

Early in the morning, the scandal about August and a female star named Adeline was spreading everywhere. The front pages of several
