Chapter 307 Engagement Ceremony

His teasing tone made Lucia's checks flush immediately. She frowned, tried to break free, and said, "Mr.

Adams, I've put the things on the table..." August refused to let go of her and wrapped his arms around her waist firmly, preventing her from leaving.

Suddenly, he showed a gloomy face and he said seriously. "Do not move." Hearing this, Lucia stopped strugcling and widened her eyes to stare at him.

Time seemed to stop at this moment. When the two looked at each other, all the affection was passed by their

pazes, and the at nosphere became more and more sticky. Lucia somellow felt liot, and her breath became

much faster. When August noticed her slight change, liis heart skipped a beat. He narrowed his eyes and looked down at her

fair neck. Then, he stretched out his liand, groped around her waist with lis big hands, and flexibly untied the

strap of her windbreaker around hier waist. Suddenly feeling the coolness, Lucia was taken aback. Before she

could react, he had already removed hier windbreaker to lier elbows.

Her dress was well-designed. It was not very revealing, but it showed her graceful and sexy curves exactly

right. When she felt August's eyes sweep over her body, her cheeks turned even redder, and she hurriedly tried

to pull up her windbreaker. But August stretched out to grab her hands and said solemnly. "Let me have a look."

It was the first time lie had seen her wearing such a dress, so he wanted to see her take off her windbreaker so

much as if being bewitched. When Lucia was in a daze, he took off her windbreaker. When he saw the dress, the

look in his eyes darkened, and his Adam's apple rolled up and down unconsciously. And he thought Lucia

looked stunning Lucia quickly understood the meaning of the look in his eyes, so she quickly said, "Mr. Adams, it's getting late. I must go."

While speaking, she put on her windbreaker. When she was about to walk toward the door, August grabbed her

by the wrist and said in a deep voice, "Wait a minute." Hearing this, Lucia frownied. When she was about to speak, she suddenly heard footsteps and laughter from

outside the door. Then, someone approached this room and tried to push the door open. Lucia tensed up and froze, looking at the door nervously. Unexpectedly, the door was not pushed open. Jeanne

asked from outside, "August, are you inside?" Lucia was stunned. Her mind went blank, and she was sweating nervously. Two seconds later, she recovered

from the shock, hurriedly broke out of August's grip, and said in a panic, "I must hide!" If Jeanne saw her and August alone in the dressing room, she would misunderstand! Lucia hurriedly began to look for a place to hide. After she spotted the big wardrobe over there, she walked over

immediately. August caught up with her and asked in a faint voice, "Why are you hiding?" Lucia gasped in panic, hurriedly opened the door, bent over, and hid inside without answering his question.

August frowned, raised his hand to prevent her from closing the door, and watched her curling into a ball

behind the clothes. She looked silly but a little cute, so he couldn't help smiling.

"We did not do anything improper. Lucia, what are you afraid of?" Lucia was anxious and didn't know how to answer. She tried to close the door but failed, so she looked up at him and said, "Let go..."

Bang! "August, open the door!" Jeanne seemed to realize something, so her voice became anxious, and she began to

slam the door heavily.

This dressing room was exclusively for the two of thien, but tie door was locked from the inside, so August

must be in the room now. But why had he locked the door? This was suspicious.

The knocking on the door rrew louder and louder as it liitting Lucia's heart. She nervously looked up at August

and said anxiously in a trembling voice, "She's your fiancéc! Aren't you afraid of hier misunderstanding?" August looked calm with a hall-sinile. He slowly leaned over, narrowed the distance between them, stared at

her with his deep eyes, and slowly asked, "I'm not afraid. Why are you so nervous? Is there any secret in your heart?"

Then, he added in a drawling voice with an ambiguous smile in his eyes, "Is it because you like me that you're

afraid of being seen by Jeanne?"

Lucia was startled, and a trace of unnaturalness flashed across her face. She took a deep breath, hesitated for a

moment, and replied, "No, the man I like is not you. Mr. Adams, please don't think too much. I just don't want

Ms. Kelly to misunderstand."

Hearing this, August suddenly tightened his grip on the door. Two seconds later, he showed a gloomy and cold

expression, gave Lucia a deep look, released his hand, and turned to walk toward the door. Seeing this, Lucia

breathed a sigh of relief and quickly closed the wardrobe door. Soon, she heard the door opening and Jeanne ask, "August, what were you doing inside? Why did it take you so

long to open the door?"

While speaking, she glanced behind August subconsciously. August's face was gloomy when he replied lightly, "I took a nap just now, so I didn't hear it." Hearing his reply, Jeanne nodded, but she was still suspicious. So, she walked past him into the room and

looked around. There were no other people inside. Looking at the clothes hangers, tables, and wardrobe suspiciously, she still

couldn't dispel her doubts. When she walked to the hangers and intended to check the back, August asked, "Jeanne, are you ready?" "Yes," she nodded and went behind the hangers. Seeing no one here, she relaxed her vigilance a little. And
