Before Timothy and Janet knew it, they had played for the entire afternoon They all absorbed themselves into the fun of the wildlife park
They played with monkeys, touched elephants skins, and even stroked a python
The animals were at first scared of the kids, but, after the afternoon, they got along better
Kids were so innocent that they could easily accept other beings Lucia could feel their changes and felt gratified from the bottom of her heart
She was right about the shooting job
At least, in this way, she could teach the kids to love and respect wildlife It was a precious lesson from nature
Before the end of the day s work, the director asked the kids how they felt and communicated with them about the shooting plan for the next day
Luc a sat aside and took a rare relaxation from taking care of both the kids
At this moment, a black car drove over slowly and stopped right outside the shooting site Then, the door opened and a tall figure came out of it
Lucia didnt notice the car as she kept her eyes on her children all the time She didn't turn to the car until the director abruptly stood up and walked outside
When she saw the man standing in front of the car, she was stunned and dumbfounded
Am I hallucinating7 How come August is here7
She gave a gasp and hurriedly sat straight. She rubbed her eyes and again shot her gaze in the same direction
As if by telepathic reaction. August also turned to look at her at the same time. When their eyes met, it was as if a spark had been ignited
Lucia was so shocked that she even held her breath She hurriedly flinched away from him, and unwittingly clenched her hands
What on earth is going on7 After she returned Austos City, she could run into August so frequently. If their meeting the day before could be called a coincidence, it would be too weird that she should meet him again at work1
Suddenly, the director turned to her and called her "Lucia, come over please ’
Lucia took a deep breath and suppressed the anxiety and doubts in her heart. She stood up and walked towards them with pretended composure
The director coughed twice and began introducing, 'President Adams, this is Lucia, the mother of our two little models She is a director
Before the director could finish, August had already turned to Lucia He narrowed his eyes in a half-smile 'I know’
The director was stunned ’You know each other7’
August cast the director a glance and said indifferently, ’I can talk to her myself
Hearing this, the director was embarrassed He rubbed his nose to ease his awkwardness and said, "Well, I'll leave you two alone
Then, he left
After the director went away, Lucia looked up at August and felt annoyed
"August, what on earth do you want7’
She might as well believe that pigs could fly than believe that it is another coincidence.
August raised his chin slightly and said, ’You seemed to be ignorant of the fact that I ordered the shooting of the commercials In some
senses, I am your boss’
Hearing this, Lucia sneered, "You think I would believe that7’
He just came along and claimed that he was her boss The Devil may care*
"Doni believe me7’ August didn't hesitate to prove himself He cast the director a glance and said lightly. What do you think the director was doing with me7’
Lucia was rendered wordless by his question
His words were true If he was nobody, the director wouldn't welcome and greet him in person
Could it be that August is the big boss mentioned by Elijah’ ,
After she realized the fact, Lucia's heart skipped a beat In disbelief, she took a step back and panicked. ’You how could it be you’" She tried so hard to avoid him, and, in the end, she should be working for him!
August wasn't surprised at her reaction He pressed his lips and then said, ’I came to tell you in person that I don't agree with your proposal to speed up the progress'
Before Lucia knew it, August had been talking seriously, "To me, quality always comes in the first place I dont need speed I need quality
More than that, I will personally check the samples before you could proceed with shooting '
August s words made Lucia's face paler "You *
They never mentioned a thing about sample checks His arrival not only brought his refusal to her proposal but also brought an additional
term How could she just give in to such a bully’
'August, don't you think you're going too far?"
August raised his brows, and answered indifferently, "Am I’ Lucia Mitchell, I think you ve been abroad for too long that you begin
forgetting the working procedures in our nation ”
Then, he cast Lucia one last glance and then got in his car
His devil-may-care attitude made Lucia exttemely angry She gritted her teeth and stopped him from closing the door 'August Adams, we need to make it straight1'
If she had known that August was the biggest sponsor of this shooting, she would die rather than accept this job for her kids
Lucia was so agitated that she stumbled She wanted to reason with him, but, instead, she lost her balance and fell on August
"Bang!"
