Chapter 295 August Would Only Choose Jeanne On the way from the Secretary's Office to the President's Office, Lucia had already adjusted her mood and when

she reached the door, she knocked calmly and pushed the door in. August was reading a document. When he heard footsteps, be signed his name on the end of the document

sharply before looking up at Lucia She asked, "President Adams, what can I do for you?" August said in a businesslike manner, "Mary is back today, so you can go back to the Administration

Department. But you should continue to follow up on the Jonathan endorsement and try to make a deal on this

project as soon as possible. There will be a bonus in this work is done well."

It was just as she thought. Lucia's luand unconsciously squeezed the corner of her clothes and replied in a soft

voice, "Okay." She gritted lier tectlı and pretended to look calmly at August, with mixed feelings. Ever since she heard Melinda talk about Mary's return today, she had guessed what was going on.

When Jeanne ran into her and August having dinner together in the office yesterday while working late, it

occurred to her that there was no way August could keep lier in the President's Office. Because Jeanne was his soon-to-be-engaged fiancée, he had to give her an explanation as well as make her feel

at ease.

Between Jeanne and her, August would only choose Jeanne Lucia took a deep breath and gathered her courage when August looked up, "President Adams, my dad is

having a checkup this weekend and I want to stay with him, so I can't go to your engagement ceremony..." She froze and met August's dark eyes with some guilt in her heart. Bill did have to have a checkup over the weekend to prepare for the surgery, but with Mrs. Mitchell with him,

she was fine not going. She said this because she didn't want to go to August and Jeanne's engagement

ceremony at all.

When she and August got their marriage license, he couldn't even give her a wedding, and now that he and

Jeanne are only engaged, he's doing it in a big way, which made her feel very uncomfortable. So, she might as well just find an excuse not to go.

At her words, August frowned slightly, with his eyes flashing a few complex moods. Then, the knot of his

throat rolled and he paused for a while, coldly saying, "Jeanne wants you to go."

Lucia clenched the corner of her clothes and almost blurted out, "But I don't..."

The words were only hall spoken when she reacted suddenly and paused in a lurry. Now that August was hier superior, she couldn't just say whatever she wanted. But it was too late. With a frown, August Iroze and planced at Lucia, then he suddenly put down the pen in his hand, stood up, and

walked towards hier with long leps.

Seerningly intimidated by his aura, Lucia unconsciously took a step back. When the man approached, she

looked up and met his unimaginable black cyes. It was too late for her to liide. August reached out and clasped her shoulders with his large hands, invisibly carrying some pressure, "Lucia,

it's not because your dad had to check his health that you couldn't go, but because you didn't want to." Lucia took a cold breath and denied it, "No..."

August frowned, "You still want to hide it from me?" After knowing her for so long, he could read what she meant with a single movement or a single look, so he

knew that she was lying. "Why don't you want to go?" He spoke, with a low and deep voice, and pursued, "Don't want to see me and

Jeanne engaged?" Lucia looked up in surprise when she heard the words. When she saw the certainty in his eyes, she averted her

Smiling, Mary didn't say anything and stepped towards hier. As she scanned the furnishings in the office, she

smiled lightly and said, "I should thank you that you helped out at the President's Office while I was on

vacation this time."

At that, Mary took out a small box from her handbag and handed it to Lucia, "This souvenir which I bought

when I went to Maldives for my honeymoon is for you. It's a small token of my appreciation and I hope you can

take it."

LUL

After a moment of hesitation, Lucia smiled and took it, "Thank you." Mary smiled and asked, pretending to be curlous, "But aren't you quite good at your job? Why didn't President

Adams ask you to stay?" At those words, Lucia felt her heart tighten violently. When she turned her lead to meet Mary's inquisitive gaze, all the words seemed to be stuck in her throat, and she couldn't say a word.

She didn't know if Mary was asking this question on purpose, but the words fell into her ears now, making her

chill and her heart sink Seeing that she didn't reply, Mary curled her lips into a smile and waved her hand in a pretentious manner, "Forget it. By the way, if you need help moving things, you can call me." Pulling out a smile that wasn't very pretty, Lucia said nothing, walked over to hier desk, and began to pack her

things She could also hear the sarcasm and irony in Mary's words, but this was just the beginning for her. When she returned to the Administration Department from the President's Office, she was sure to hear a lot of

hard words from Lisa and other colleagues.
