Chapter 089

The expected slap didn't land on her face, but a low, powerful voice came to her ears. "Why? A slap isn't enough?"

Lucia snapped her eyes open and saw a tall figure. August stood in front of her with his strong arm raised, grabbing the woman's wrist. The woman looked stunned. She

I have to do!" August was indifferent and asked in a cold voice, "Do you think it's right for you to make such a scene during working hours, Mrs. Stebbing?"

Mrs. Stebbing's face turned cold. She snorted and tried to argue, but August stepped forward and asked in a deep voice,

"You should have asked Mr. Stebbing first when something like this happened, shouldn't eyes and looked at Lucia coldly. "The pictures are

enough to prove it!"

August's eyes grew cold. "But what if you have gotten it all wrong? What are you going to do about the slap just now?" "..."'13

Mrs. Stebbing's face instantly went pale.

Seeing that she couldn't say anything, August continued in a cold voice, "I will investigate it. If it's true, I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer, Mrs. Stebbing. But if it isn't, you must be prepared then and give her an answer.' August had already given her enough respect by saying this in front of so many people without accusing her. Mrs. Stebbing knew it would be even worse if she continued to make trouble, so she rolled her eyes resentfully and agreed. Since you have said that, Mr. Adams, I can't say anything else." "However..." She glanced at Lucia. Her expression changed and her voice became colder. "If it's true and you fail to do what

you have said, Mr. Adams, don't blame me for being merciless!" After that, she turned around with a snort and walked away through the crowd.'!3

Lucia stood behind August. Her cheek was burning and she felt breathless as what had happened was weighing on her like a big stone. August glanced at the crowd of people who were still standing there. He didn't say anything, but his cold gaze already carried an invisible deterrent effect.

Seeing that, those people immediately understood. They exchanged a few glances and hurriedly dispersed. Watching the crowd disperse, Lucia bit her lip, turned around silently, and walked in the opposite direction. Now that Mrs. Stebbing had made such a scene, people from all departments knew about it, and it was only a matter of time before it spread throughout the company. Lucia felt so upset that she lowered her eyes as tears streamed down her face and stung her cheek. There were her colleagues everywhere. Lucia took a deep breath and felt like she could hardly breathe. When she to the top floor. 'Lucia!"'l3

August's voice came from behind Lucia. Her body shivered. For some reason, she didn't stop but walked faster instead. August took her home yesterday, so he could prove her afraid that others would misunderstand their relationship?

Nith bursts of sorrow in her heart, Lucia quickened her steps and tried to escape as quickly as possible. Suddenly, her wrist was grabbed. She was stopped at the corner of the staircase, pushed to the side by a force, and cornered there.

The man's smell came over and enveloped her directly. August held her face up with his cupped hands. The two of them were so close now that they could smell each other's breath as they looked at each other.

His raspy voice carried some faint anger. "What are you running for?" Even if she ran away, it wouldn't solve anything!

Lucia's nose twitched and tears welled up in her eyes. She clenched her teeth, trying to keep her tears from coming out.

They looked at each other. Lucia could almost feel the warm breath coming out of his nose. "Why didn't you prove my

innocence?" Looking at the woman's half-swollen face, August felt a sudden pang in his

August felt sorry for her inexplicably as he looked into her pure, unblemished eyes. "One day, I will clear your name."
