Submit to the Boss He Rules the Boardroom and the Bedroom novel Chapter 5

Chapter 005

Lucia's mood was lifted. Burton continued, 'Madam, Boss is angry because he is afraid that you will suffer. He is

extremely protective."

"Really?" Hearing this explanation, Lucia was dubious but turned much happier. Unexpectedly, August just looked cold and yet was warm inside.

Seeing Lucia's smile, Burton panicked. He had said too much, and his boss would skin him if he found out. But

for the sake of their harmony, it was worth it.

In the Wright's living room, as soon as they got home, Carol angrily smashed everything that could be smashed in the house, and then she pointed at Archibald, who was kneeling on the ground, and roared, "Archibald Smith, - what did you mean? You are helping outsiders deal with me, aren't you?"

"Darling, I didn't help her, you are the woman I love the most, and my heart belongs to you," Archibald explained

to Carol.

Then why don't you hit that bitch? Why are you so afraid of August Adams? He's just a president of a company." Carol asked hysterically. She had never been wronged since she grew up.

Archibald was no longer so bright as he was in the public. He hung his head and let Carol beat and scold him. With a muffled voice, he continued to explain, "Honey, we can't mess with August. He holds most of the

commercial territory of the city."

Smith only owned a construction company. How dare it compete with Mitchell's business empire? Wasn't this like hitting the stone with an egg?

However, Carol had been pampered since childhood. She could easily get whatever she wanted. She had never been bullied as badly as she was today. She despised Archibald for being so timid. As soon as Archibald spoke,

she slapped him in the face. "Trash! Get out! I don't want to see you."

Archibald heard this, he immediately disappeared in front of Carol.

Feeling tired after venting her anger, Carol sat down and rubbed her temples. She thought she couldn't let Lucia have a good time. At this moment, she suddenly thought of someone, so she hurriedly called over. In just a few words, the two of them reached a consensus.

After hanging up, Carol was in an improved mood. "Lucia, aren't you backed by August? See what you do if you lose his protection!"

After returning home, Lucia found that her belongings had been packed by her parents and delivered to her. Looking at the bags all over the place, Lucia was speechless. How much did her mother want to kick her out of the house?

Complaining, Lucia still packed up her belongings. Finally, there were only some sundries left, which she didn't know where to put them for now. Since the villa was so big, she thought there should be a storage room.

So, Lucia was holding a box of sundries and familiarizing herself with the environment while looking for the

storage room. After looking at all the rooms and finding no storage room, Lucia rightfully thought that the room in the deepest part of the corridor on the second floor was the storage room. But when she opened the door, what caught her eye was a bookcase full of various books. "This is the study?" Lucia stuck her head in and probed inside. Thinking it was August's study, Lucia stepped in with her legs unconsciously. She looked at the books on this wall admiringly, and couldn't help but admire August's strength. She was so engrossed that the cardboard box in her hand accidentally bumped into the picture frame on the table. The sound of the frame falling to the ground was particularly clear, making Lucia tremble.

She immediately realized that she was in trouble, and Lucia hurriedly knelt down nervously and picked up the frame. Fortunately, the frame was not inlaid with glass. If it were broken, she would definitely be dead.

Chapter 005 She looked at the photo and found that there was no one in the photo, just a picture of a snow scene.

After checking that there was nothing wrong with it, Lucia patted her own chest and stood up, trying to put the frame in its original position. But at this moment the photo fell out of the frame, followed by a yellowed card. Lucia swore that she didn't want to see what was written on it, but the beautiful words still caught her eye.

August, I like you. - Jeanne. Seeing this, Lucia felt her head buzz. 'Did I see August's secret?' Guilty welled up in her heart. Although she didn't read these words on purpose, she was still tricked into other people's privacy. It was indeed immoral,

Without thinking too much about it, Lucia wanted to restore the photo and the card, but her hands were shaking because of her nervousness. She didn't manage to do that for a while.

"What are you doing?" A cold voice suddenly sounded from behind. Lucia's body stiffened instinctively, and the

frame in her hand fell again. This time it didn't hit the ground but ended by being caught by August

Lucia turned around and met August's cold eyes. She was so nervous that her throat tightened, "I'm sorry, didn't mean it." She didn't mean to go into his study. She didn't mean to peek at his secrets either. She also didn't know if August would believe her.

"Out" Although he lowered his voice, it was not difficult to hear the anger in his tone.

Lucia's heart skipped a beat-She had pissed him off again. Without any hesitation, Lucia bent down and picked up the box on the ground. She walked out wisely. When she turned and close the door of the study, she saw that August's eyes stayed on the photo.

This photo and card seem to be very important to August. After Lucia closed the door in remorse, she carried her things down to the second floor. By this time, Burton had already set up the meals he brought.

Seeing Lucia holding the box, he asked, "Madam, what are you doing with this box?"

"I'm looking for a storage room." Lucia said honestly.

Burton replied, "The storage room is in the small attic."

Small attic? Lucia was confused. She didn't seem to see a small attic.

"Leave it to me, Madam." Burton took the carton from Lucia's hand, and then said, "Do these meals appeal to your liking? I took them from..."

"Mr. Harris, I seem to have done something wrong and made him angry." Lucia interrupted Burton.

Burton was choked on Lucia's words. To be honest, after being with August by his side for many years, he rarely saw August show his emotions, as there were very few people who could make him angry. He sighed, 'What luck does Madam have!'

"Madam, what did you do?"

"I went into his study and accidentally touched his... photo frame, and saw his secret."
