Submit to the Boss He Rules the Boardroom and the Bedroom novel Chapter 394

Chapter 394 Lied to Him

The birthday banquet in the hall was still lively, and the guests were toasting each other and drinking, making it a peaceful scene.

In the crowd with laughter, Paul, who was always calm and gentle, actually looked back and forth with a slight frown and a somewhat anxious look. When he saw a familiar figure, as his eyes darkened, he immediately strode over, "Paula."

Paula turned around at the sound of his voice with an affected look, saying in a rare quiet manner, "Paul." Lucia?"

"Have you found Lucia?" Lucia had gone to Jeanne, but he hadn't wanted to intervene in affairs between women. He had given her two calls in a row just now, but neither had been answered, which had made him even more worried.

"I had found her, but she disappeared again." With a gloomy face, Paula casually replied, picked up a glass of juice beside her, and found a seat to sit.

Seeing this, Paul frowned even harder, and hurriedly continued to ask, "Paula, what's the matter?" Is there really something wrong?"

'Nothing, I just met someone I don't want to meet." Paula finished half a glass of juice in one gulp and continued before Paul could ask again, "Paul, stop asking. I don't want to talk about it."

"

Hearing this, Paul paused for a moment and said nothing more. He had to focus on looking for Lucia, so he had no time for other things.

Suddenly, a beautiful figure came into sight. He fixed his eyes on it, and to his great joy, It was Lucia! "Lucia, over here."

Hearing the voice, Lucia raised her eyes, saw Paul and Paula not far away, and stepped toward them with a smile. "Paula, you're here too?" Lucia reached out her hand to tap Paula on the shoulder, and suddenly froze the moment she saw her expression. She hurriedly leaned over and asked, "What's the matter?"

Paula's heart had long been messed up by Burton, and now she couldn't cheer up even in front of her best friend. She shook her head after a deep breath, "I'm fine, I just ran into a scumbag.'

Stunned, Lucia quickly realized who the scumbag she was referring to was, took a deep breath, and gently stroked her back to comfort her.

Beside them, noticing the dress that Lucia had just changed into, Paul wanted to ask the question that was cu his mind but he didn't.

Soon, the birthday banquet was over. Lucia wanted to say goodbye to her grandmother before leaving, but there were too many guests, one after another. So she had to give up the idea and left with them.

On the way, the carriage was rarely quiet.

Paul sent Paula home first and then sent Lucia home to change clothes.

Lucia was a little worried by the thought of Paula's state just now.

Obviously, Paula still had feelings for Burton, otherwise how would she have become like this?

She took a deep breath, and turned around to look at Paul, saying softly, "Paul, I don't know whether you've noticed that Paula still has feelings for Burton."

Paul replied absentmindedly, "Yeah."

"I think we should talk to Burton sometime and ask him if he still has feelings for Paula too ..."

Paul's eyes darkened as he heard this. There was no way he would accept Burton. First of all, he had failed his sister before, and secondly, he worked for his rival in love. He would not accept him for any one of the two reasons. But he did not want to refute Lucia's idea, so he slightly nodded in response, "When someday I'm free,

I will."

Lucia nodded on hearing this, and only then did she feel relieved.

Paul sent Lucia back to West Bridge and waited for her to change her clothes before he sent her to the hospital

to check on Janet. Paul got out of the car and followed her directly to the bedroom on the second floor. Before entering the room, he glanced at the CHENEL limited for this season the woman was wearing, swallowed

hard, and could not help but ask, "Lucia, didn't you go out in a fishtail gown today? Why did you change your clothes?"

Hearing this, Lucia lowered her eyes, took a glance at the clothes she was wearing, and with a hesitant look, she casually excused herself, "... It was splashed with water at the time, so I changed into this one."

If Paul knew that she had been bullied by two women, he would certainly get mad, not to mention that she had

met August today. So instead of explaining it vaguely, she decided not to tell him, letting sleeping dogs lie. Hearing this, though his eyes darkened a little, Paul didn't pursue the matter, watching the woman step into the bedroom and close the door as he frowned involuntarily. He then fished his phone out and tapped on a video to watch.

In the video, Lucia walked into a private box with August. Judging by the angle, it had been recorded secretly with a cell phone. The video quality was not very good, but good enough to tell that the people in the video were August and Lucia.

This video had been sent to him by his underlings. At the time he couldn't have found Lucia in the hall, and Paula hadn't returned, so he had gotten worried, and had sent his men to look for her. Unexpectedly, right after he had sent Lucia back, he had received this video from his men.

He had parked the car in the courtyard, having watched the video with his head blank. He then had collected himself before having followed her into the house, and only then had he screwed up his courage to ask her about the clothes. And to his surprise, she hadn't told him the truth.

Staring at the scene in the video, Paul felt heartbroken. In the past five years, he had had a clear conscience, having done his best to treat Timothy, Janet, and her nicely, but he had never expected her to lie to him about such a thing. He dared not to imagine what had happened between August and her alone in the private box. He clenched his fists as more and more discontent and resentment crowded in on him. Although his face looked gentle as usual, he had struggled with his heart several times. However, he didn't want to leave. For him, Lucia had long been deep in his heart and soul, so he could not leave her.
