Chapter 079
She was so surprised that she unconsciously raised her voice which was sharp, with a few indescribable ambiquous accents. They froze. The moment when their eyes met, they were very awkward. August gave her a cold look and spoke indifferently, "What do you think I want to do?" With that he lifted his hand and put Lucia's calf on his lap, then without haste, he pulled the tea table drawer open and took
out the bruise spray from it. Lucia blushed, ashamed and bashful. She thought he was going to do something to her...
August slowly opened the lid, aimed at Lucia's reddened knee, and directly pressed the nozzle. When the cool liquid sprayed out, Lucia felt her knee cool a bit, then her calf involuntarily shrank back, and her face
scrunched up. Although the skin on her knee was not broken, it still stung a little when the medicine was sprayed on it. August gave Lucia a look, picked up a cotton swab to wipe up the medicine that had run down, and said with a cold face, "You deserve it." The medicine was sent to her but she didn't treat the wound herself. So she deserved the pain. Lucia froze, a little confused, "Wh-what?" She couldn't have heard it wrong. Ignoring her, August picked up the bottle and sprayed the wound again before releasing her ankle. He packed his things while coldly saying, "Well, do not touch the water for a few days, and remember to spray medicine." Lucia looked up just in time to see the perfect side of August's face. His high nose was as sharp as a knife and his lips were pursed into a line, making others unconsciously feel he was so indifferent. If August changed into a white coat at this time, he would definitely be an unbelievably eye-catching ascetic doctor. With this idea flying through her mind, Lucia unconsciously blushed. Seeing that Lucia didn't say anything for a long time, August turned his head and met the woman's eyes with a frown. "Don't think too much." He rose gracefully and gave her a cold look, "I'm returning the favor you gave me the last time you applied the medicine. If you have nothing else to do, you can go out."
With that, he stepped away and sat down at his desk, continuing to flip through the documents in his hands.
Lucia snapped back to her senses, sheepishly. As if to cover up the little mind of being discovered, she said gamely, "Who thinks more." With that, she got up and walked towards the door.
Just as she reached the door, August's voice came from behind her, "Stop." As soon as Lucia turned around, she saw him toss the meeting minutes to the desk, "Take them back and re-perfect them before handing them to me."
She froze. She thought she had written down the minutes of the meeting very comprehensively, and she didn't expect him to think it was no good. Very angry, but she did not dare to say anything more. So, she took the minutes of the meeting and immediately fled out of the conference room. She felt that August was taking a personal vendetta, so she unconsciously got a little angry. Forgot it. She was lucky to have divorced him. Otherwise, she really could not imagine how to face such a high-maintenance, ice-cold husband in the future. When she was back in her office, Lucia was busy all afternoon. Time flew, and when Lucia finished the work at hand, it was
not long before the end of the day. The phone on the desk suddenly rang. When she picked it up and saw that it was an unfamiliar number, Lucia hesitantly pressed the answer button. "Lucia!" Paula's energetic voice reached her ears, and Lucia jolted, immediately holding the phone away from her ear.
"I'll see you soon and I'm going back to Austos City in a couple of days!"
Hearing the voice coming from the phone, Lucia knew Paula was in a good mood and couldn't help but smiled crobkedly. "Then I'll pick you up then. What time is your flight? "Ill send you the boarding pass later and you can come with my brother!" Lucia paused, a little surprised, "How do you know... Paula seemed to have guessed what she wanted to ask before she finished her sentence, "My brother already told me! He just came back and met you on a blind date. It's fate!" Thinking that the blind mate was her best friend's brother, Lucia was still a little embarrassed, "Maybe...' Paula loughed and teosed, "Lucia, you might as well be my sister-in-law. If you marry my brother, the two of us will be a family reasonably!" Hearing her speak so bluntly, Lucia blushed, 'Paula, don't talk nonsense... It's still up in the air!" Paul and she were just getting along like friends now and they had no intention of establishing a relationship yet! Paula laughed, "No way! My brother is already in love with you!" Lucia didn't know, but she knew too well what her brother thought. A few years ago, When Paul saw a picture of Lucia and her together, he had different feelings for Lucia.
She also asked him bluntly, but his brother was too slick to say anything, so, she had to let it go. "Paula!" Lucia didn't know whether to be angry or laugh, "If you keep talking nonsense, I'm going to fix you up when you get back!"
Paula said with a smile on the other end of the phone, "Okay, I surrender. Don't you forget to pick me up!"
Lucia smiled, "Okay, don't worry." The two of them talked for a few more minutes before hanging up the phone. Looking at the time, it was almost the end of the day. Lucia packed up the important documents and sent them directly to
the Archives for filing. Two female colleagues from other departments walked ahead, holding documents in their hands, looking like they were also going to the Archives, and while they were walking, they said, "Have you heard that Mr. Stebbing is coming back from the branch tomorrow?"
"You mean the Mr. Stebbing that President Adams fixed?"
"Yes, it's him?"
"Then he won't let it go at that and our company is not going to be peaceful these days."
The two of them mumbled. Lucia, following them, heard a lot of it and was a little doubtful. Who was Mr. Stebbing? She had been in the company for two years, but she had never heard of this person. Hearing them say that Mr. Stebbing and August had such a complicated relationship, she was a little curious about what
kind of feud they had made. Before she could think too much about it, she was already at the Archives door. She came back to her senses, handed over the file, and went straight back to her office. After arriving home from work and having dinner, Mrs. Mitchell insisted on dragging her out for a walk. "Lucia, go for a walk with me! Don't always stay at home!"
Lucia frowned, "Mom, you go by yourself." She knew clearly what Mrs. Mitchell thought. As soon as she got home today, she heard Mrs. Mitchell call Betsy in the next building to bring her and Betsy's son to create an unexpected encounter in the neighborhood after dinner... Since she was well aware of Mrs. Mitchell's "plot", she naturally refused to go along with her to do such an embarrassing
thing.
