Submit to the Boss He Rules the Boardroom and the Bedroom novel Chapter 626

Chapter 626 It Was Really Him

After getting out of Bishop's car, Lucia telt cold although the sun was warm outside. She only felt chilled and lost as she aimlessly walked down the road. All the things were messed up. She couldn't stay rational and calm. The scale in het heart had collapsed, and she had believed what Bishop said.

Paul and she had known each other for years. She knew too well his subconscious movements when he was speaking and that he would twiddle his fingers when he couldn't decide on something. In the video, she had seen his tiny yet familiar movements.

She was 100% sure that it was Paul. At the same time, she couldn't believe he did such a thing. Betraying her was one thing. His reckless decision was the bigger evil. He had been so gentle, patient, kind, and considerate. Only sinister people would do this kind of terrible thing. That was the part she found it hardest to accept.

She roamed forward, her mind wandering. A dazzling light and an ear-piercing blare suddenly came, bringing her back to reality. She looked over in a panic and found herself in the middle of the road. It was the red light, and the drivers on both sides honked their horns.

A driver poked his head out of the window and yelled at her, "What are you doing? Have you lost your mind?"

Lucia shook, sobered up, and hurriedly ran across the road amid the noisy blare. Bitterness rose from the bottom of her heart and resolved into tears. She bit her lips to fight back her tears. While she was at a loss, her phone rang. She took a deep breath and fished the phone out of her pocket. The sight of the caller ID sent a shiver down her spine. Her fingers trembled, and the phone call was rejected.

It was Paul calling, but the sight of his name alone gave her chills and aroused her resistance. At that point, she couldn't answer the phone. Before she thought things through and

made her decision, she couldn't calmly face him.

Unknowingly, she went into a park, found a quiet spot, and sat down on the bench. The scenes of Paul accompanying her over the years flashed across her mind. How could such a

good man do such a thing?

It was getting dark, and her heart turned cold. She thought a lot and tried to convince herself, but her heart was broken. Even if she could put the pieces back together, there would

still be cracks. She couldn't forget and forgive because Paul had crossed the line.

After making up her mind, she took a deep breath, stood up, and walked to the side of the road. She hailed a taxi and told the driver her destination. Half an hour later, she arrived at

West Bridge and stood at the gate. The villa was well-lit, but she was feeling bad. She had taken this place for her home. Now it only looked strange and cold. The sense of belonging

was completely gone. Gritting her teeth, she opened the gate, crossed the courtyard, and reached the hall.

The maid, who was cleaning, saw her and cheerfully greeted her, "Madam, you're back. Mr. Thomas has been waiting for you."

Lucia felt uncomfortable hearing the name. A bit pale, she frowned and asked, "Where are Timothy and Janet?"

"They're reading books in the children's room."

Lucia nodded and quickly walked away. The maid froze and asked, "Madam, have you had dinner?"

"Yeah," Lucia replied and continued her way forward.

The maid looked at Lucia and felt uneasy. After a moment of contemplation, she walked to the table, picked up the phone, and called Paul who was on the second floor. The phone was soon answered. His voice was a bit hoarse. "Anything?"

The maid whispered, "Mrs. Thomas came back and went straight to the children's room. Her face was a bit pale. I wonder if anything happened.”

The man on the other end of the phone said after a moment of silence, "I see."

In two minutes, rapid footsteps came from the stairway. A big figure then appeared. Paul quickly got down, glanced at the maid, and headed toward the children's room. The door

opened with a creak. Lucia led the two children out and bumped into the man. She halted and instantly pulled a long face. Their eyes briefly meet in mid-air. The atmosphere was a bit

awkward

Paul smiled at her and broke the silence. "You're back."

Without a response, Lucia led Timothy and Janet back into the room. In a soft voice, she said to them, "Go in and play."

After settling them down, she came out and closed the door. In the doorway, Paul looked at her frosty face and somehow felt upset. "Lucia, you......”

"Come with me." She then walked to the side.
