Chapter 838 Throwing Herself on Him
When Lucia heard the doorbell, she thought Timothy had come back to grab something he had left behind. She happened to have something about business to discuss with him, so she went to the door. But before reaching there, she unexpectedly heard Turner say 'Mr. Adams" in surprise. Her heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly had a bad feeling. When she arrived in the hallway, she saw August, the man she least wanted to see.
She annoyedly asked in a cold voice, "Why are you here?"
August didn't mind her bad attitude. He casually pointed to the gifts under his feet and asked patiently, "Aren't you going to invite me in? Is this how your family treats guests?"
"Yes!1' She gritted her teeth and replied, "You are not welcome here. Leave with your things!"
While speaking, she reached out to push his shoulder, looking as aggressive as a gamecock.
Seeing the door about to be closed, August suddenly stretched his hand into the gap. He didn't stop her from closing the door but put his hand where it was likely to be crushed.
The solid wooden door gradually closed, sandwiching his slender fingers in between. But it stopped as soon as touching his hand, not causing any harm. Lucia and August both kept their hands on the door, falling into a silent deadlock.
Lucia frowned, looked into his calm eyes, and finally lost the battle. She secretly blamed herself for being useless because she could not bear to hurt his fingers because of the familiar face.
She suddenly asked in anger, "August, what on earth do you want?"
Before she could finish her words, August saw his chance and pushed the door. Then, he passed her, walked into the living room openly, and gracefully sat down.
I thought carefully about what you said. I admit I should not have met Janet alone without your permission,' he abruptly said in a deep voice.
Hearing him mention herself, Jane pretended not to hear anything, held her legs on the sofa, and quietly watched them fight.
Looking at the gifts at the door, Lucia understood his intention, so she said, "I don't need your apology. It's getting late. You should go back as soon as possible to avoid unnecessary trouble.'
Apology?" August looked at her with a half-smile, crossed his legs gracefully, and said slowly, "I'm not here to apologize but to show my sincerity."
Then, he put a prepared document on the table and continued, "My task is to find a suitable endorser for my company. And this contract is the token of my sincerity."
Lucia stared intensely at the document and gradually had a bad feeling. Her intuition told her this matter was not that simple! If she signed this endorsement contract, she would send Janet to her opponent, giving Reggio a chance to threaten her.
She looked at August with wariness in her eyes and responded word by word, "I am not Janet's agent, so I have no right to sign the contract. And I will never agree to her being your company's endorser. You'd better give up as soon as possible."
"Yes! ' Janet nodded and echoed, "I don't like you, and I don't want to cause my mother any trouble. I will not sign this endorsement contract."
