Submit to the Boss He Rules the Boardroom and the Bedroom novel Chapter 476

Chapter 476 Trip Her Up

Lucia was nervous, and nearly got smitten by his words despite her restraint in ignoring his glamour. His words had gone to her head already.

He said that he had been waiting for her a long time, but she just received his message twenty minutes ago. Does he mean that he had been here for a long time, even before he sent a message to her?

Lucia paused, smelling the alcohol on her breath. "How long have you been here?"

"More than an hour." Replying in a casual manner, he straightened up and slipped his hands into his pockets. "I came here because I want to see you."

To Lucia's surprise, August put it quite straightforwardly She felt a warm blush rise to her cheeks.

Lucia had to take a few minutes to collect herself. "Just tell me about the plan."

Nodding, August opened his mouth and his expression grew solemn. "I will take Jeanne to Genting Restaurant the day after tomorrow..."

Meanwhile, on the balcony of a villa, a man was staring at Lucia and August. It was Paul Thomas, who was standing there with a cup of tea in his hand. He seemed so wrapped in the scene that he clenched the cup unconsciously.

He knew the man was August with only one glance. After all, Only August could make Lucia go out so late at night.

A strong bitterness struck Paul dearly and made him feel restless and unsettled. He gritted his teeth but said nothing, then

he threw the cup in the trash can in front of him with a jerk. After that, he resumed watching.

He was watching, as well as contemplating. For these years, he treated Janet and Timothy as his own kids and devoted his heart and soul to Lucia! But she, with a heart of stone which would never be melted by his affection, gave her heart to August easily!

Driven by a surge of rage, he grabbed his phone and came out of the house in strides....

Lucia was still listening carefully to August's plan and had a rough idea of it. She looked up at his eyes after August finished his words and nodded obediently. "Well, I see."

Although August's plan was unable to lay bare Jeanne's trick entirely, it could trip her up for sure and provide with them some evidence to find out the truth.

This plan offered them a gleam of hope and pulled them back from the brink of helplessness.

"Then we just have to stick to the plan for that day, Lucia said after a pregnant pause. "That's all, right? I should go then, and you'd better go back soon."

She stole a glance at August after what she said and just when she was about to turn around to leave, August caught hold of her wrist.

"Lucia Mitchell!"

He got closer to her by pulling her back.

Lucia could feel the warmth of his band, and even she was enfolded in his smell when they got closer. Lucia was breathing quickly and tried to calm herself.

"I need a chat with you." He asked.

The phone in her coat pocket rang abruptly when Lucia didn't know what to do next.

It was from Paul Thomas. "Hello?" She hesitated for seconds before answering.

"Lucia, where have you been? Timothy fell off the chair!"

"What?" Lucia almost cried out at his words.

"He scraped his knee and I was treating his wound..." Paul's voice sounded worried.

Lucia's heart was occupied by guilt in an instant and she hurried to say, "I'll be back right away!"

As she hung up the call and turned to August. "Maybe next time."

She scurried back home even without a goodbye to August.

August's eyes dimmed little by little watching her retreating figure.
