Watching her blush in an inst“Are you sure?” Lucia was flustered and affirmed, “Yes, I’m sure!”

Seeing that she was afraid of being taken advantage of by him, August smiled crookedly. Then he slowly wiped the ointment on his fingers, and then was about to get up to leave.

“Wait a minute!”

Lucia suddenly thought of something and stopped him in a hurry.

She hadn’t had a chance to ask him about Irene.

August turned around and stared at her with dark eyes, ’Hmm?”

Lucia spoke cautiously, “I heard Irene was punished and hospitalized. Is it you who did that?”

August got a little more serious at once and said lightly. “Yes.”

“Is it her making me allergic?” “Yes. Except for that, she’s also the one who secretly took the pictures of us.”

When she learned the truth, Lucia was surprised and puzzled, muttering, “But ... never offended her.” Irene and she had only met a few times. She knew Irene didn’t like her, but Irene wasn’t to the point of harming her.

Looking at Lucia’s expression, August paused, stepped forward, and stared at her, ’’People in this world are never that simple. You should always remember that the next sentence of ‘don’t harm people is ’but guard against their deceits’.

Lucia bit her lip with mixed feelings.

Seeing that she did not speak for a long time, August said softly, “Well, you rest early.” Suddenly. Lucia stretched out her hand and took his hand. Feeling the warmth on his palm, August froze. As far as he could remember, it seemed to be the first time Lucia took the initiative to hold his hand.

Lucia took a deep breath and said rather seriously, “Thank you for protecting me.”

In the past, except for her parents, there was no one to protect her. But now, she has one more person who can protect her. August drooped his eyes and saw the woman’s clear eyes, and for some reason, his breathing was suddenly a

little hard.

She seemed to have trusted him completely yet he was still hiding something from her. Only he knew that what he was doing had some other daunting purposes.

At that moment, he actually felt some shame in his heart. August couldn’t bear to look Lucia in the eye, so he looked away, pulled his hand out of her hand, and said in a cold voice, “Get some rest.” Before the words were finished, he had taken a big stride towards the outside. Lucia was completely unaware of the change in August’s mood. She smiled crookedly, feeling a satisfaction she had never felt before

Today’s life was full of ups and downs, but she felt happier. After a good sleep, Lucia woke up the next day and the red rash on her body had already disappeared by half. Stretching herself and looking at herself in the inirror, she was in a rare good mood.

When Lucia arrived at the company, the department held an impromptu meet­ing. After the supervisor, Carter,

. .10, went over the recent important matters, she suddenly looked at Lucia, “Lucia, you report on the progress of your task at hand.” Lucia smiled and responded, “Okay.”

She reported on the latest progress of the gift box reservation and went over the details and specifics. Carter listened, nodded, and said softly. “Show me the specific documents.”

Lucia immediately handed over the documents,

After she went through all the documents, a satisfied smile appeared on Carter’s face, “Well, according to the contract, the gift boxes can be shipped to our company’s warehouse before the holidays.” ”Yes. Tiano Company’s assistant and I have discussed it. They will help deliver the goods into the warehouse

then, so we can save money on shipping costs.” “Well done.” Carter said, sweep­ing a glance at the people around him and instructing, “You should all learn from Lucia’s work ethic. Can you get your work done by gossiping behind others’ backs all day?” When hearing these words, Lucia’s colleagues looked different, and a few people who were keen on gossip recently were very embarrassed and didn’t know what to say Now that the story of Irene being punished by August for eating half a box of mangoes had spread through the company, everyone no longer dared to gossip freely, especially about Lucia. After this incident, all sensible

people could know that her relationship with August was unusual. After the meeting, Lucia walked out of the conference room and several colleagues sur­rounded her, fawning and pleasing, “Lucia, you’re amazing. You took care of the holiday gift box all by yourself!” “That’s right! Now Carter values you the most now! You should help us in the future!”

Suddenly becoming the focus of her colleagues, Lucia was a bit uncomfortable. She shook her head with an embarrassed smile, ”I’m just lucky and I have to learn more from you in the future... Following behind them, Lisa scoffed at those people’s ingratiating behavior with a coldness emerging from her eyes.

Not long ago, these people were trying to please her. Now when they saw that the situation had changed, they

immediately changed. They are really sheep people!

Lisa stared at Lucia and she thought Lucia was more disgusted. She was just dissatisfied with her promotion before, but after such an incident, she really felt threatened by Lucia.

If she didn’t give Lucia a lesson to learn, she wouldn’t be able to hold her position in the administration

department in the future. If Carter was promoted, then Lucia would be the biggest competitor on her way to the supervisor!

The more Lisa thought about it, the more uneasy she became. She clenched her fists and was restless.

O

No, she couldn’t just await her doom and she must do something about it! Lucia was pestered by her colleagues in the department for a whole day. Whether she went to get water or to eat, they all followed her, like a cowlick that could not be shaken off, so she even did not dare to leave the office.

She was about to send a message to August to ask if he wanted to go home with her, but before she could send the message, her mom’s phone call came.
