Submit to the Boss He Rules the Boardroom and the Bedroom novel Chapter 46

Chapter 046

After a while, she stopped crying and wiped her tears. Just then, there was a knock at the door

“Open the door for the dress.”

Lucia opened the door and saw Jamie handing over a little dress, ”This is a dress the organizer prepared. It’s

clean. Check the size.”

Lucia took a look. It was an M. just right for her

She took the dress and found that Jamie was not so unpleasant when she looked at him again,

”Thanks.

• Hearing that, Jamie raised his eyebrows. “There is no need to say thanks between you and me.”

Lucia was surprised. Were they close enough?

At this point, she was not in the mood to look deeper into his words. She closed the door behind her, locked it,

and then began to change.

This little white dress was a most ordinary and simple one and it’s her size. Although it wasn’t gorgeous, it was much better than going out in her dirty dress.

She folded up her dress and put it in a bag before pushing open the door to get out of the room.

At the door, Jamie leaned lazily against the wall. When he saw Lucia coming out, a smile appeared on his face

Lucia took a deep breath. She couldn’t resist the urge to say thank you again.

“Mr. Nordhaus...”

Jamie frowned at the way she called him. He interrupted her with some dissat­isfaction. “Didn’t you just call me by my name? Why are you changing your mind so quickly?” Lucia twitched her lips, not knowing what to say in reply.

“From now on, just call me by my first name.” With that, Jamie suddenly took two steps forward, directly

approaching her, and smiled. “Let’s go. It’s so boring here. I’ll take you to dinner.”

Lucia took a deep breath and said softly, “I’d better go home.”

Jamie raised his eyebrows and teased her. “Lucia, do you have the heart to refuse me a second time?”

Looking back on his long history of love affairs, he had never been rejected by a woman more than twice.

Lucia said word by word, ’’Sorry, but I’m already married.

What she meant was that she was married and would not accept flirtation.

Hearing that, Jamie looked at her meaningfully. “But your husband isn’t so competent. He watched you being bullied and didn’t do anything about it.”

Lucia stiffened at once. She looked up at him incredulously. “You... you know?”

“TII know anything if I want to.” Jamie paused. ”But I was surprised when I first learned of your relationship with August

When the word “August” came out of his mouth, Lucia was even more nervous

She had never expected that Jamie would find out about her relationship with August.

Lucia breathed heavily. She stared at him and said seriously, “Please don’t tell anyone else about this.”

Jamie curled his lips and said deliberately. “Why not? It’s not something to be ashamed of.”

Lucia got a little anxious. “Anyway, just don’t!” Jamie found it more interesting when he saw how annoyed the woman was. “Then you have to promise me one thing.”

Lucia took a deep breath. “You name it.”

”Have a meal with me. It’s okay if you can’t do it today. You can take a rain check, but you mustn’t renege on it,

Chapter 046 or else.” He drawled deliberately. Lucia got impulsive and imme­diately said without thinking about it, “Okay, I promise you!”

At this point, what she feared most was that Jamie would talk about her rela­tionship with August everywhere,

That would cause August a lot of trouble.

Seeing that she agreed, Jamie raised his eyebrows. “Then it’s a deal.”

Lucia nodded her head and replied, “Hmm.”

Now, she had no choice but to do what he wanted

When Jamie left. Lucia went back to the exhibition area. The atmosphere inside the venue was exciting, and

everyone gathered in the innermost jewelry section.

Next to the huge showcase was a gemstone sculpture, where everyone would take pictures for the final part of

the event

Lucia stood at the side, watching them going over there in groups, and a trace of despondency swept through her heart

She was alone, so it would be better for her to leave. When she turned around, a group of people happened to be walking over. August was at the front between the representative of the organizer and Adeline Jones, the celebrity

spokesperson for the jewelry.

Adeline walked side by side with August. After a few steps, she suddenly smiled and said something in August’s

ear. Then, August curved his lips into a smile. Lucia watched them as they talked and smiled. She unconsciously clutched her dress, feeling upset inside. Seeing that they were about to come over, she took a step back to make way for them. Suddenly, August seemed to sense something and turned around to look at her. Lucia’s body instantly tensed up when she saw the man turning to her, but unexpectedly, August only gave her a glance and looked away without any hesitation. Lucia didn’t relax until she saw them walk by in front of her. Looking at the man from behind, she bit her lip and felt a lot of emotions in her heart.

Just now, he looked at her as if she were a stranger he had never met before and he didn’t fix his eyes on her for even one more second.

For some reason, Lucia couldn’t help but feel disappointed when she thought of the way the man looked at her. She sniffled and stepped out. Outside, it was raining and the sky was horribly overcast, but she didn’t know it at all until she came out of the venue.
