Submit to the Boss He Rules the Boardroom and the Bedroom novel Chapter 38

Chapter 038

Lucia thought about the scene where she had put the ice bag on Jamie just now and found it a little too intimate. After all, August was her lawful husband.

But coincidentally, he happened to see it.

With a sigh of helplessness, Lucia had to turn around and walk toward the lounge next to the reception room.

In the reception room, August sat across from Jamie with a poker face, showing no signs of happiness or anger.

Jamie lazily leaned back on the couch, holding the ice bag on his burnt arm, with a smile in his eyes. “Mr. Adams, I have been waiting for you so long and I even got injured.” His assistant at the side couldn’t stand it anymore and quickly said respectfully, “I’m sorry Mr. Adams, but Mr. Nordhaus has an unruly personality. Please don’t take it personally. This time, we came here specifically to talk with you about cooperation.”

August glanced at Jamie who was opposite him and said in a light voice, “Sorry, but I don’t think you’re taking it seriously. I don’t have much time, so let’s wait until you are ready to cooperate.”

With that, he got up and buttoned up his suit coat with one hand while stepping toward the outside.

“Mr. Adams, please wait a minute!”

Jamie’s assistant was so worried that he immediately jumped up and run over to hand August the documents.

Jamie didn’t think it was a big deal. He grinned and teased, “Trayden, just forget it if he doesn’t think we’re sincere! Anyway, it’s not like I didn’t get anything out of this trip, but I met a cute and interesting girl!” At the door, August frowned hard as soon as he heard that. He turned around and stared at the unrestrained man on the couch, saying word by word, “Don’t you touch her.” “Why not?” Jamie suddenly got aggressive. “Are you trying to work against me. Mr. Adams?” August said with his thin lips slightly parted and a cold light bursting out from his eyes, “There is no reason. You just can’t touch her.”

Dropping those words coldly, he turned around without hesitation and walked out without taking a second look at the documents in front of him.

Jamie’s assistant Trayden sighed, “Why did you do that, Mr. Nordhaus? What am I going to tell your father?”

Jamie raised an eyebrow. “Don’t worry. I won’t make it difficult for you.”

With that, he stared at the door and muttered, “Anyway, I’ve got a crush on that girl!”

August walked out of the reception room with a sullen look on his face. Seeing that, Burton came up and asked, “What’s wrong, Mr. Adams?”

August asked directly, “Where is Lucia?”

Burton said gently, “Right in the lounge next door.”

Hearing that, August paused. Then, he immediately turned around and walked to the lounge.

When he got to the door, he directly pushed it open and went in. Seeing Lucia, who was sitting uneasily on the

couch, he didn’t hesitate to close the door behind him and lock it. Lucia saw what August was doing and her heart sank with the sound of the lock clicking. She hastily got up. “... just accidentally burned Mr. Nordhaus, so I took an ice bag and put it on him.” She was explaining, but August didn’t have any intention to stop. He walked over straight away and slowly

approached her

Lucia held her breath and slowly leaned back, unable to stop her panic.

August said in a deep voice, “Do you remember who you are?”

Lucia was confused. “Huh?”

August found it quite annoying when he thought of what he had just seen. “You are a married woman now, so keep your distance from other men, okay?”

Besides, Jamie was a playboy He hung around with a different woman almost every day. Many young models

and starlets had ended up as his targets Lucia would definitely suffer if she had more contact with him.

Lucia stared at the man’s dark eyes, nodding in a daze,”

know.”

August knitted his brows and said in a deep voice, “I don’t want to see this kind of thing again in the future!”

He sounded a bit commanding and Lucia trembled, unable to say anything,

Thinking of the man’s attitude toward her last night, Lucla felt so bad that a lump came into her throat.

She lowered her head and unconsciously shook her shoulders slightly. “I won’t do it again.”

Seeing that the woman’s eyes suddenly turned red, August frowned and steeled himself to step out of the

room

At the door, Burton saw August coming out with a grim look on his face while Lucia stood in the room, looking

aggrieved and pitiful. He hesitated and then hurriedly followed after August. “What’s wrong with her, Mr. Adams?”

August shot him a cold glance. “Mind your own business.”

Burton immediately stopped talking and asked no more questions, August kept thinking about the aggrieved look on Lucia’s face as he walked forward. He didn’t want to be so mean to her, but if he was too nice to her, he was afraid that he wouldn’t have the heart to talk to her about...

It’s better to have short, sharp pains than long, dull pains. He might as well be cruel to her from the beginning

Lucia was gloomy in the lounge for quite a while before she slowly came back to her senses. She sniffled and walked out She couldn’t figure out why August had suddenly changed his attitude toward her. He was getting increasingly serious and insensitive, making her feel strange. However, she knew he was not that kind of man. With a soft sigh, Lucia walked forward with a heavy heart, completely unaware of the man nearby.

“Ahem! Lucia!”

A male voice suddenly came with a rising tone, sounding somewhat pompous Lucia raised her eyes and was startled to see Jamie standing against the railing. Why was he still here? Jamie smiled at once when he saw the look of confusion on Lucia’s face. “You’re wondering why I’m still here?”
