Submit to the Boss He Rules the Boardroom and the Bedroom novel Chapter 842

Chapter 842 Don't Pretend Anymore

Lucia deliberately made a reluctant expression, and finally nodded as a compromise. "Have you packed everything?" Tm here to tell you that I need to figure something out, which will take me about a couple of minutes. You and Phillip can wait for me at the airport." Edmund's attitude was obviously cold. Lucia replied to him at once, "Phillip and I can wait for you here." Lucia was trying to buy herself more time to exchange the file and send the real one to Sophie.

"No way." Edmund refused coldly without hesitation, "It'll be convenient for me to go to the airport directly, so Phillip and you should wait for me there." Sensing Edmund’s reaction, Lucia thought he might have been suspected of her. So, she didn't say anything more but talk nicely to Phillip after letting out a smile.

Edmund had bent down to look under the bed as soon as Lucia and Phillip left. His eyes were filled with great anger as well as a strong killing intent when he saw the dust falling from the file and the fingerprints on the floor. There was no warmth in his eyes anymore. Currer sneered when she saw Edmund entering the café with a vicious aura, "I heard you’ll have a vacation with Lucia. Won’t that make you happy?" Giving Currer a cold glance, Edmund said, "You're so well informed."

"I know more than you think. And I've something more to tell you." Thinking of what happened outside the place of August, Currer gritted her teeth, "Lucia has been living with August. What's more, Reggio is chasing her. You know what? You're like a backup to her." Edmund replied after smashing the glass on the table with a loud sound, "I've changed my mind." It stunned Currer a lot.

"Feel free to do whatever you want to Lucia. If you don’t dare to do that, then allow me." Edmund's chill voice kinda scared Currer all of a sudden. In the eyes of Currer, Edmund who was sitting opposite her was like a demon from hell. Taking a deep breath, Currer tried so hard to calm herself and then said in a low voice, "I'm a nobody, and don't wanna do a horrible thing like killing a person. I can overwhelm her for sure as long as I’m able to get one thing." Looking up at Currer, Edmund gestured for her to continue.

"What I want is quite simple. I need the proof of Lucia's cooperation with Griffith Organization." A dim light flashed in her eyes. "I'm toasting to our successful cooperation in advance." Edmund raised his glass and touched it with hers as he was saying. And then he left the café after finishing his drink.

Three days later, Edmund and Lucia were enjoying the meal with Phillip in the shared restaurant of the International Holiday Hotel. Lucia suddenly got a message from Sophie when she was happily flipping through the short videos with chuckles from time to time. [The file isn't in the place you told me.

Judging from the fingerprints, it has been swapped. Lawrence may have found your purpose, so you must be extremely careful.] Casting a careful glimpse at Edmund, Lucia texted quickly. [I was with him the whole day, so he didn't have time to swap the file. You need to search his place thoroughly as the file must be still in his house.]

[We found a hidden compartment in Phillip's room, but there's an electronic alarm on the switch. We're trying to remove it. Protect yourself well if our plan fails.] It was the last message Sophie sent to Lucia. Turning to look at Edmund's laptop, Lucia saw the proposal of the government for next month. She tried to show her concern to Edmund, so she said in a relaxing tone, "Is that hard to deal with? How is it going?"

"You can take Phillip back to our room if you feel boring." Letting out a smile, Edmund added apologetically, "I'm so sorry. I didn't expect the proposal would be that urgent. I thought I would have a good vacation with you and Phillip." "That's fine. Your job is more important." Lucia sat back to her seat. The two of them were both pondering over their own business, so the electronic products they were using became the best covers. Neither of them wanted to continue the talk.

Edmund was staring at Lucia, but the smile on his face was so fake and he looked so serious. As he typed the keyboard, the file on the screen immediately switched to the interface of the intranet. The information of Lucia was displayed. Not all the information about her was true but something still could be found. When Edmund was wondering whether to send the information to Currer, the remote alarms on his phone and laptop sounded at the same time.

Lucia was being so nervous as she looked towards Edmund warily, but she still pretended to be calm. "What's up?" Edmund gazed at her with a malicious look, saying word by word, "Follow me." Taking a deep breath, Lucia followed Edmund after casting a glance at Phillip and the seats next to him. Two people with big sunglasses were sitting on the two seats. One of them said in a childlike and concerning voice, "Are you gonna follow them? Will she get in trouble following him alone?"

Before the girl could finish talking, the man next to her had stood up gracefully. He followed Lucia and Edmund hurriedly after asking the girl to take good care of Phillip who was alone. Edmund arrived at the rooftop first and cast a glare at Lucia who was following him. "You've known the truth already. Right?"
