Submit to the Boss He Rules the Boardroom and the Bedroom novel Chapter 463

Chapter 463

Lucia sat in the waiting area at the elevator door This was the only way to get to Paula's ward, so if Burton came he would definitely pass by here

Finally, another elevator stopped on this floor and the doors slowly opened Lucia took a deep breath and looked up and

Burton came out from inside

What surprised her was that he had not come alone August had followed him down the elevator

Lucia's heart tightened as she thought of what Paul had told her earlier, and a sense of disgust and resistance struck her making her frown subconsciously

Burton came up and asked hesitantly. "Lucia, is Paula

Now, everyone wanted to hear the good news but had to prepare for the worst

Lucia took a deep breath, took him to the window, and said seriously. "The doctor told me today that Paula's situation is not very optimistic. There's a possibility that she may never wake up. She may become a vegetable As she spoke, she couldn't help but choke with sobs.

Burton froze in place for a long time, and finally, his eyes twitched back to attention, "A vegetable"

Lucia nodded.

For a moment, the surroundings felt quieter The three of them did not speak

Finally, Burton slowly returned to his senses and asked with tearful eyes. "Can that be treated?"

Lucia replied softly. "Paul said that he had found a foreign doctor There is still a chance for her, but we have to wait for the doctor to arrive. "

A glint flashed across Burton's eyes when he heard this. He nodded and said. "No matter what happens, I will always accompany her" His voice was soft but unusually firm

As he spoke, Burton looked up at her and said, "I want to see her

After that, he turned around and walked straight toward Paula's ward

Looking at the back of the man, Lucia felt sour in her heart. She could tell that Burton was sincere about Paula

A few seconds later, she came back to her senses and inadvertently turned her head Her eyes met August's, and she was slightly stunned, then frowned and turned to leave without saying anything

August saw her reaction and frowned He went after her and blocked her path, "Lucia, there's no need for this between us

There was no need for them to be tit-for-tat like enemies every time they met, no need to deliberately keep their distance, and no need to get things so stiff.

Lucia tightly pursed her lips, refusing to speak.

August continued to follow her, asking as he walked, 'Why didn't you continue with the public welfare short film? And why did you ask Director Gao to give me that necklace?"

At these words, Lucia's eyes darkened, and it was already clear in her heart that August should have been on the set, and

Director Brook naturally passed all those things to him.

According to their original plan, she and Paul would have taken Timothy and Janet to South Fronce by now However, due to Paula's situation, they had no choice but to stay and push back their schedule

Lucia clenched her teeth. She still refused to utter a single word.

Finally, August frowned and his face turned gloomy. He suddenly grabbed her wrist and pulled her to the elevator.

Lucia was shocked and almost blurted out a cry, "August, what are you doing?"

She tried to struggle a few times but had little effect. The man's iron arms gripped her wrist tightly, not giving her a chance to break free

At that time, an elevator door opened. He pulled her up and pressed the button on the first floor.

Lucia stared at him angrily and asked, "is that funny to you?"

August raised an eyebrow "You're finally willing to speak? Let's find somewhere else and have a real conversation."

Lucia was irritated at getting out, so she started to struggle, but August suddenly pressed her and pinned her directly to the wall of the elevator

The elevator shook slightly Lucia's heart thumped and she became nervous.

August lowered his eyes slightly and spoke in a deep voice, "If you keep messing around, the elevator will break down and neither of us can get out."

His words worked for some reason. Lucia's body stiffened, and she didn't dare to move.

Soon, the elevator reached the first floor and the door slowly opened. August dragged her out of the elevator and directly into the hospital's back garden.

After walking along the cobblestone path for a while, Lucia finally found an opportunity to break free from his hand. She took a few steps back and looked at him with vigilance.

"What do you want to say? Just say it here!"

August frowned at her slightly for a few seconds and asked, "You're not going to make a public welfare short film?"

Not wanting to beat around the bush, Lucia directly admitted, "Alright, I'll stop"

Hearing this, a trace of surprise flashed across August's face He took a step forward, approached her, and said in a deep voice, "Don't you want that video anymore?"

Hearing what he said, Lucia sneered and looked at him coldly. "August, apart from threatening me with that video, what else can you do?!"

Gritting her teeth, she continued, "I don't care about that film. I don't care if you want to publicize it or destroy it

Hearing this, August frowned in surprise.

He never expected that Lucia would become so unyielding. He thought that he could at least use this film to temporarily retain her, but the change in her attitude was completely outside his expectations

Thinking of that, August took a deep breath and asked, "Do you intend to leave Auston City?"

Gritting her teeth, Lucia admitted, "Yes."
