Lucia took a deep breath and asked. "Do you like her7
Burton didn't hesitate for a moment and nodded firmly. ’Yes ’
If he didn't like her. he wouldn't have remained single for five years
’On your birthday five years ago. why did a girl come out of your house?’
Heanng this. Burton was stunned, “On my birthday five years ago7'
Memories flooded back After a moment. Burton suddenly remembered something He took a deep breath, looked at Lucia, and asked. ’Did she see it?’
Lucia was noncommittal II was precise because Paula saw a girl come out of his house that she had doubts about since then
Burton blinked, and he explained what had happened to Lucia honestly In the end, he looked al Lucia and said word by word, ’Can you take me to see Paula71 wan! to explain to her personally."
Unexpectedly, a small mistake had made him and Paula separated for more than five years’
Seeing his sincere eyes, Lucia softened a bit She took a deep breath, and after hesitating, she nodded. ’Okay’
Burton had helped her many times before and she remembered his kindness Besides, it involved the happiness of her best friend She didn't want to see them miss each other
Bunon's eyes In up in surprise and he said, “Well, III ask President Adams first."
As soon as he finished it, the car door was suddenly pushed open. August got off the car. and said in a low voice, ’I'll go with you ’
Lucia was stunned and looked at him in surprise Did August hear what she and Burton had said just now7 But wasn't he silting in the car7
When she turned her head and saw the half-opened car window al the back, she suddenly realized what was going on II turned out that August had lowered the car window and heard then conversation
Lucia was a little annoyed But when she thought that August was Burtons boss and Burton couldn't go without his permission, she had to swallow
August look out a large black umbrella horn the car and opened it slowly When he turned and saw Lucias expression, he raised his eyebrows slightly and asked. 'Why, don't you want me to go7’
Lucia was surprised when she heard this, but she forced u smile and said, ’President Adams, you should have a lol of work to do. You can
on with your work If you're busy.' ;
Her words were euphemistic, but her meaning was clear. She didn't want him to follow
She and Paula had agreed to meet II was understandable that Burton followed her Bui if August also followed her, wouldn’t it be embarrassing9
Although August knew exactly what she meant, he didn’t care, and said lightly, ‘Its okay I can just pul lhe work on hold ’
With that, he held the umbrella and walked forward.
Lucia instantly felt speechless Looking at his resolute back, she had Io take back her refusal.
She had no choice but io let him lag along
When she arrived at the door of the restaurant where she and Paula had agreed to meet, she turned to look at the iwo men on the left and the right and somehow felt a little guilty
She was almost an hour late Now she even brought these Iwo men to meet Paula without saying telling her in advance. Paula would be pissed off
Forget it She was doomed anyway She thought she’d better go in* Lucia gritted her teeth, pushed open the door, and went in. She gave lhe waiter Paulas name and was led to the second floor
Compared with the lobby on lhe first floor, the second floor was much quieter, and there was a ceriain distance between the booths The lighting was dim, and ihe decoration was elegant II was very suitable for couples to date or girlfriends to chat
She glanced around and saw Paula at a glance II happened that Paula also looked up.
As soon as Paula saw Lucia, her eyes lit up, and she immediately waved to Lucia But when she saw the Iwo men beside Lucia, the smile on her face froze
Feeling Paulas gaze. Lucia took a deep breath and stepped forward
Paula asked with widened eyes. 'Lucia, what’s going on?1'
Lucia bit her lips and said, "Well... something happened on lhe way, and I happened to run into them. To thank them. I’m taking them to have a meal together*

Paulas face turned pale She looked al August and Burton She couldn’t say anything, so she acquiesced
The atmosphere at the dining table was a bn subtle After ordering, Lucio cleared her throat to break lhe silence and said softly, "Paula,

Slowly, the atmosphere eased a lol Soon, the dishes were served Burton handed them tissues from time to time, moved the plates, and
the atmosphere was quite harmonious
Halfway through the dinner, Paula brought the menu and ordered a few more dishes She glanced at the wine menu, looked up. and said.

Lucia was about to agree when Burton, who was sitting across from lhem. suddenly asked, ’What to celebrate’’
