Submit to the Boss He Rules the Boardroom and the Bedroom

Chapter 156

With a "swoosh", the dart flew rapidly towards the dartboard.

Lucia closed her eyes tightly and didn't dare to move as the dartboard spun. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

The dart was about to fly at her arm, but with a "click" sound, the dart hit the board with the tail twitching, less than a centimeter away from her arm.

Lucia heard a huffing sound coming from the side, and only then did she slowly open her eyes.

The last dart avoided her perfectly and didn’t hurt her a bit! She looked up with some delight, catching the man's dark, unreadable eyes.

And she unconsciously felt some stability.

This feeling was a solid sense of security and trust, which she had never experienced from others.

When he saw Lucia looking at him, August looked at her with rare gentleness.

At that moment, one of K’s men suddenly ran to his side and whispered something in his ear.

A few seconds later, K’s expression changed.He subconsciously looked up at August, and with a wave of his hand, he let the man next to him back off.He stepped forward, with his icy expression changing.

Then, he curled his lips, raised his hand, and applauded August, "Good! That was a good throw and I’m convinced!"

In the face of his bragging, August was indifferent.

He turned his head and gave him a cold glance.

K pretended to smile.

After a few rounds of applause, he grabbed a dart from the tray next to him and walked towards August while smiling, "You really hide your light under a bushel?"

He sounded like he was joking, playing with the dart in his hand as if he was trying to figure out something.

Without waiting for August to answer, he had already picked up the dart, put it in front of him, closed one eye, and took aim at Lucia on the dartboard.

K said casually in a casual tone while aiming, "Can I hit the dartboard?"

With his eyes darkened, August didn't hesitate to reach out and pinch the tip of the dart directly, stopping his next move, his voice low and deep, "The game is over."

At those words, K curled his lips and let go of his hand.

With a cold face, August threw the dart straight into the tray next to him.

Looking at his action, K knitted his brows, and the smile that emerged on his face disappeared.

He lifted his hands, unhurriedly patted the non-existent dust on his hand, and leisurely said, "Is it over?"

August didn't flinch from staring at him.

With his aura becoming cold, the surrounding temperature seemed to drop a few degrees.

After a long stare at each other, August curled his lips with a cold look under his eyes, "K, I have done everything you asked."

He had already released Ted and thrown the darts as K had requested.

If K still refused to let them go, then he had only one last option.

That was to play hardball.

When he saw the murderous intent in August's eyes, K’s heart sank and a wave of unease emerged.

August, as Bishop said, really couldn't be underestimated.

After he froze for a few seconds, the flesh on his face twitched and he smiled weirdly at August.

K raised his hand and waved at the men beside him.

The two men immediately understood and walked quickly to the dartboard, untying the ropes tying Lucia’s limbs and releasing her from the dartboard.

"I'll keep my word, but when will we meet again?"

Saying that, K picked up half a glass of imported wine from the side, tilted his head, and drank it down.

August stared at his moves and said without haste, "We'll meet again in the future."

He believed that they would meet again soon.

At that, K smiled, with his eyes flashing a grim light, and then he did not speak again.

August swept him a glance and stepped towards the dartboard.

Looking at the frail woman holding the dartboard to barely stand, he couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Immediately after, he took a big step forward, leaned down, and hugged her directly without saying a word.

Lucia felt a chill all over her body and couldn't help but shiver when she touched the man’s strong arms and wide embrace.

The fresh scent belonging to August came to her, followed by the man’s low magnetic voice in her ears, "Don't be afraid and I'll take you away."

To her, such a phrase now was the most beautiful sound.

The woman's nose was sore and she softly said yes, like a frightened young bird shrinking her head into his arms to find shelter and comfort.

August looked down at the woman's appearance, and an unexplainable feeling of depression spread through his heart.

He would take her out of here, the sooner the better! But as soon as he took a step, K's men suddenly surged up and directly blocked his way.

August's dark eyes narrowed slightly and jumped over the crowd to lock on K behind them, releasing an icy cold aura that made others scared.

It seemed that K was going to force him to use force.

He slowly hugged Lucia tightly and was waiting for the right moment, but K changed his expression and shouted coldly at his men, "Get out of the way, all of you ignorant men!"

His men looked at each other and hesitantly scattered to the sides, making a way for August.

August saw this and his unreadable eyes flashed a hint of fluctuation.

Without saying anything else, he carried Lucia and walked towards the outside with big strides.

He knew in his heart that K was a smart man.

Now that his purpose had been achieved, he would certainly not make things difficult for them, and just now he was merely testing him.

When he walked through the smoky casino lobby and outside the door, Burton was standing by the car waiting for him anxiously.

The moment when he saw them come out, Burton's expression changed slightly and he hurriedly greeted them, "Mr.Adams, Alex..."

Glancing at Lucia in August's arms, he was about to speak but said nothing.

Before he could finish his sentence, August had already crossed him and got into the car.

Burton had to follow August into the car.

With a turn, the car directly turned around and drove forward at a fast pace.

Inside the car, looking down at the woman in his arms, August frowned and called out softly, "Lucia."

Lucia in her arms was pale and her body was cold, without any reaction, as if she had fainted.

Leroy, sitting on the side, saw this and said softly, "Boss, it looks like she fainted and she is probably very frightened."

A faint trace of anxiety flashed under August's eyes.

After making sure that there was no obvious trauma to her exposed skin, he immediately ordered his men in a cold voice, "Go back to the hotel."

August was about to get out of the car with her in his arms when the car sped up to the hotel entrance, but Leroy suddenly said, "Boss, she's still bleeding."

At that, August stopped and followed Leroy’s gaze.

Sure enough, he saw her lower white dress stained with blood again.

With his face somber, he reached up to lift his skirt to see the wound when K’s words suddenly flashed through his mind.

K seemed to have said that Lucia’s blood was due to her period and that he hadn't hurt her.

After he froze for a moment, he looked up and saw Leroy staring curiously at the blood stains.

Instantly, his face became somber and he asked coldly in return, "What are you looking at?"
