Chapter 032

Lucia was puzzled and carefully went through everything she had eaten in her mind to make sure she hadn’t

eaten any mango or food with any mango in it. She tilted her head. “So, what’s wrong?” She thought as she scratched one of her arms with the other hand unconsciously

August frowned when he saw what she was doing and directly reached out to grab her hand, “Stop scratching.”

People with allergies should never scratch their skin. That would only aggravate the itch and make it worse

instead of relieving it. Lucia came back to her senses and couldn’t help blushing when she saw her hand being held by the man. “Oh.”

August instructed seriously. “I will find out why you are allergic. And you should have a good rest now.”

Lucia nodded, looked up at the man, and cautiously asked, “Did you just come back home?” August said lightly. “Yeah.” She hesitantly asked, “Will the rumors in the company... affect you?” She was most worried about that. Now August was back, but the rumors in the company had not completely gone. She was afraid that it would have a bad influence on him.

The woman was still worried about him while she lay in bed with allergies. Seeing that, August felt that his heart suddenly softened a bit. “No.” Lucia couldn’t rest assured and wanted to ask more questions, but August said before she could do it, “I will tell Burton to ask for leave for you, so you can rest until you are better.”

Lucia had to agree. “Okay.”

August let go of her hand and said in a softer voice, “Then I’ll go back to the office and see you tonight.” Seeing that he was leaving. Lucia felt a bit upset somehow and had to nod her head.

August turned to leave, but he just took a step when he suddenly felt a tug at the corner of his coat.

He looked back and saw Lucia tugging at his coat. She looked hesitant and tried to say something.

“What’s up?”

Lucia took a deep breath, plucked up the courage to meet the man’s dark eyes, and said softly. “Tonight. can we go home for dinner together?”

In the past few days when August was away, she always felt that something was missing while she was alone. She felt empty even though she had Turner at home with her.

Watching the woman as she asked gingerly, August couldn’t refuse her, so he paused and answered in a light

voice, “Okay.”

Seeing that he agreed, Lucia slowly let go of his coat.

August stepped out of the ward and closed the door behind him.

Burton, who was at the door, came forward. “Mr. Adams, do you want someone to take care of her?”

“Not for now. Tell her to get some rest. I’ll come and pick her up later.” With that, he stepped forward, and his eyes suddenly turned cold as he thought of something. ”Have you done

what you were told to do?”

Burton nodded. “Yes. It’s your secretary, Irene from the president’s office.”

Hearing this name, August frowned and said, “Let’s go back to the office.”

In any case, Lucia was his wife. If anyone tried to bully her, he wouldn’t let them get away with it. But he hadn’t

expected that it was his secretary who did that to Lucia! It took less than half an hour to get back to the office from the hospital. In his office, August watched the

surveillance video that Burton had pulled out and his face grew colder and colder. After watching the footage of Irene mixing mango juice into Lucia’s glass five times, he picked up his cup, took a

sip of coffee, and coldly instructed Burton, “Go prepare something...”

Meanwhile, Irene, who was sitting in the secretary’s office, had no idea of what was going on in August’s office. She was in a good mood, humming a tune comfortably and touching up her lipstick.

The president’s office had more than one secretary, and the secretary’s office was shared by two. Mary Baker, the other secretary, organized the documents at hand, looked at Irene, and asked with a smile, “Why are you so happy?” Irene looked in the mirror as she smiled. “It’s really good to watch someone I hate to make a fool of her!”

Mary asked curiously. Someone you hate? Who is it?”

Irene smiled and deliberately said, “I won’t tell you!”

Hearing that, Mary stopped asking her and said lightly, “Mr. Adams just came back. Do you know?”

“Mr. Adams is back?” Irene paused abruptly and her eyes lit up. Ever since she joined the Lion Group, she had been working for August as his secretary. She had long fallen for him, but due to their identities, she was hesitant to show her feelings. This time when August went on a business trip, she missed him, but she did not dare to show it clearly, so she could only send him a text message to greet him on the grounds of work. Now that he was back, she naturally couldn’t wait to see him.

Mary said casually, Yeah, Mr. Adams has been back for a while, but he seems to have something to do in his

office

Irene couldn’t help but feel a little excited. “Why don’t I go over and ask?”

Before she finished speaking, the door of the office was suddenly pushed open. When she looked over and saw August at the door, she was secretly surprised and then stood up excitedly. “Welcome back, Mr. Adams.”

August had a little expression on his face, and with little hesitation, he stepped toward her. ”Hmm.

Seeing that, Irene was overjoyed and asked softly, ”Did you have a good trip?

“Yes.’ August replied coldly and walked directly to her desk, asking,”What about you? How’s your work going these days?

This was the first time August had asked her that. She felt somewhat flattered at once. ’’Pretty-pretty good
