Submit to the Boss He Rules the Boardroom and the Bedroom

Chapter 158

Lucia took a deep breath and calmed down a bit.

Looking up at August, she nodded at him, "Then I'll do as you say and go back to the Cannada tomorrow."

Now she had already been kidnapped once by those people.

If she still stayed here, not only could she not help him, but she would also probably give him a leg up.

Rather than this, she might as well leave.

August was relieved when he saw that she agreed.

After giving her a deep look, he was about to speak, when there was a sudden, sharp knock at the door.

Lucia subconsciously tightened herself, a little panicked.

Seeing this, August immediately got up and went to open the door.

The door opened and Burton stood outside with a slight panic on his face, "Alex is back, wounded.

I went to see him and felt he was a little angry.

Mr.Adams, can you go see him?"

August heard what he said, and the emotions under his eyes were unclear. NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

After a two-second pause, he nodded slightly, "I know and I'll go see him later."

Nodding, Burton did not say anything else and turned to leave.

August closed the door of the room behind him.

When he thought about what Burton had just said, his face became somber.

Tonight, they went into a lot of trouble and deploy so long to capture Ted, but K made the first move and captured Lucia, making them the passive party.

Not only did he fail to catch Ted, but he also got hurt, so Alex was upset.

August turned around and walked back.

When he looked up without thinking, he saw that Lucia had gotten out of bed some time ago.

With both feet on the cold floor, she was staring at him with two big, watery eyes.

He subconsciously frowned, "What are you doing?"

Instead of lying well in bed, she even stepped on the floor with her bare feet.

Didn't she know she couldn't get cold at this time? Lucia felt a little depressed and blurted out, "Aren't you leaving tomorrow?"

If he didn't leave, it meant that he would have to stay here to deal with those people, meaning that he was in danger at all times, meaning that he was likely to be injured.

For some reason, when she thought of this, she felt like her heart was being clutched by a big hand, a little out of breath.

August was silent for a moment.

Seeing the woman's eyes with some concern, he suddenly surged with an inexplicable complex emotion in his heart.

A few seconds later, he stepped forward, reached out, and pushed her backward onto the bed.

Frowning at her bare feet, he replied, "If something happens to you, your dad won't forgive me."

With that, he reached over and pulled the quilt aside, casually covering her body.

He then picked up the phone on the side table and said in a light tone, "You get some rest.I still have things to do and Burton will pick you up in the morning."

He turned around and took a step to leave.

Lucia was a little nervous and couldn't help but reach out to tug on the corner of his shirt, "August."

August didn't turn around, and said coldly and deeply, "What is that?"

Lucia bit her lips as if there were many things she wanted to say to him, but after opening her mouth, she didn't know where to start.

In the end, she tensed up and said, "You have to be careful."

A faint hint of surprise flashed under his eyes.

Then, August curled his lips and replied, "Got it."

After saying these two words, he took a step and walked outside without looking back.

The moment she heard the door close, Lucia suddenly felt very lost.

Whether she was implicated by him or not, in any case, he saved her this time, and she would remember his kindness.

Early the next morning, she was packing in her room not long after she had woken up when there was a knock at the door.

She went over to open the door and saw Burton standing in the doorway.

"Mitchell, pack your bags and we'll get ready to go."

Lucia nodded and whispered, "By the way, Harris, there’s something I'd like you to return for me."

With that, she turned and took a neatly folded men’s shirt from the top of the small closet next to her, handing it to him.

After a glance, Burton recognized the brand of the shirt and knew her meaning.He nodded, "Leave it to me and I'll return it."

After the shirt was returned, Lucia went back to her room to pack her things.

Everything was almost ready, and she pulled her suitcase out of the room with some reluctance.

Looking across Linda's room, Lucia was a little hesitant about whether to tell her she was leaving.

But Burton had already come over.

Seeming to see through her thoughts, he said without haste, "Mitchell, I have already informed Natalie that you returned home early because you were not feeling well, and they all understood.

Hearing him say so, Lucia had to nod and said softly, "Let's go then."

On the way to the airport, Lucia was a bit depressed.

The short trip to Franksfurt in less than three days had ended because of an inexplicable kidnapping.

The plot of those like a TV show really happened to her.

With more than four hours of travel, she arrived at Austos airport in the afternoon.

The sunshine in Austos was much milder than in Franksfurt, and when she set foot in Cannada, Lucia felt a little more settled.

"Lucia!"

Suddenly, a familiar voice came, and Lucia looked over to see a familiar figure at the pick-up point.

Paula, wearing a black hip-hop sweatshirt and showing her long legs, was standing behind the railing and waving at her.

Surprised, Lucia subconsciously turned her head to look at Burton and asked, "Why is Paula here?"

With a faint smile appearing on his face, Burton said softly, "I sent her a message beforehand that you were returning Cannada, and she volunteered to come to pick you up."

Seeing the gentle smile that appeared on Burton's face when he mentioned Paula, Lucia couldn't help but gossip, "What is your relationship now...?"

Before she could say the next words, Burton had hastily denied, "No, we are just friends."

Although he said so, he looked a little unnatural.

Looking at the rich expression of Burton, who had always been calm, Lucia understood in her heart.

She didn’t say much and walked quickly towards the exit.

As soon as she left, Paula came up to her and opened her arms to embrace her, "Lucia, I missed you so much!"

Once she saw Paula, Lucia felt a lot better, "Come on, we haven't seen each other just for three days, not three years!"

Paula laughed, "I don’t care.By the way, didn't you say you were going for four or five days? Why are you back so early?"

Hearing her ask this, Lucia suddenly paused.

Thinking about the horrible things that happened yesterday, she hesitated a little.

It was better not to tell Paula about this kind of thing first.

Lucia said casually, "I am on my period.You know I'm in a lot of pain at this time of every month.I couldn't help it, and the work there wasn't particularly important, so I came back first."

Paula blinked.

Sweeping a glance at Burton not far behind, she could not help but ask, "Then why is Burton also back?"

Lucia gritted her teeth and was searching for a reason quickly, but before she could think of one, Burton had already stepped forward and said seriously, "There is some urgent work in domestic, so I come back first."

Hearing what he said, Paula stopped being suspicious and pulled the suitcase from Lucia’s hand, asking joyfully, "Lucia, did you bring me any specialty from Franksfurt this time?"

Speaking of specialty, Lucia froze.

She left in such a hurry that she didn’t even think about it.

The only thing that could be considered a "specialty" was Franksfurt's sanitary pads that were stuffed into half of her suitcase.
