Submit to the Boss He Rules the Boardroom and the Bedroom

Chapter 160

Mandy looked at the man in the wheelchair.He became gentle and the warm light of the sun shone on his face, outlining his soft silhouette.

At that moment, she couldn't help but be stunned When it came to Lucia, this man who had a detached look was much gentler.

While she was surprised, she couldn't help but think more.

Catching the ridicule that emerged from Mandy's eyes, Bishop turned back without panic and said nothing more.

He was just putting on a show in front of her.

Seeing that she almost got his meaning, he stopped.

Lucia and her, Mandy are all pawns in his hands.

That's all.

The aroma of the barbecue restaurant was overwhelming.

Lucia, who had been hungry all morning, had a huge appetite.

She took a big bite, and then a few slices of lettuce-covered grilled meat went down her belly, instantly relieving her hunger.

When she looked up, she saw Burton picking up a fork to take the snow beef on the grill, but a fork suddenly came up next to her and Paula quickly took away the piece of beef that was grilled to perfection.

Lucia looked at Paula and couldn't help but laugh lightly, "Paula, don't be so bad.Why do you have to grab Harris’ meat?"

Paula raised an eyebrow and said rightfully, "His name isn’t written on the beef, so if I grab it, it’s mine."

At that, Lucia looked at Burton and smiled helplessly with him.She knew this best friend very well.She would only be like this with people she was interested in and for those she wasn't interested in, she wouldn't even talk to them.She grabbed Burton's beef, which meant she probably fancied him.

The atmosphere at the dinner table was relaxed and happy.

At the end of the meal, Lucia was full and in a much better mood.

On the way back from the restaurant, Paula suddenly tugged on her arm and said with a soft smile, "Lucia, there’s a concert at the end of the month at the Austos International Venue.Do you want to go?"

Talking about the concert, Lucia turned her head and asked her, "Is there a program of yours?"

Paula raised an eyebrow, her cheeks glowing with red. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

Then, she smiled, "There's an ensemble, and I’m the cellist."

Paula had been back in Cannada for a long time, and she hadn't done much performance work for a while.

Now that she finally had a program to star in, she, as her best friend, definitely had to be there to support her.

"I’m definitely going."

Lucia agreed and turned to look at Burton on the other side, smiling lightly, "Let's go see Paula's cello performance together, Harris."

At that, Burton was slightly stunned and looked at Paula, as if seeking her opinion.

Paula swept a glance at him and deliberately said lightly, "All right, then I'll keep an extra ticket."

When he heard that, a hint of surprise appeared in Burton's eyes, but he didn't show it.

Seeing this, Lucia just felt like a third wheel standing in the middle of the two.She smiled, and when she saw the taxi parked at the curb, she immediately had an idea.

"Paula, I still have some pain in my stomach and I'm going home first."

She said, and then looked at Burton, "Harris, please help me take Paula home."

After she said these words, without waiting for their reaction, she pulled the suitcase and quickly walked to the taxi to get into the car.

The moment when the car door closed, Lucia saw her best friend's slightly angry and delicate face.

Then she looked at Burton whose face was with a few smiles.She curled her lips into a smile and immediately instructed the driver to go.

The two of them were obviously having a tiff with one another ambiguously, and if she stayed with them any longer, she would be disliked? On the way back, when she got free, Lucia took out her phone, slid to unlock it, and saw two missed calls.

They were from August.

She gripped the phone tightly, a little surprised.

Since she and August had met, August had rarely taken the initiative to call her, let alone two at once.

What's up with him? Lucia was a little uncertain.

When the car arrived at the entrance of the neighborhood, she hesitantly picked up her cell phone and dialed the number.

The phone rang several times before someone answered.

"Hello?"

Before she had time to speak, a soft and pleasant female voice came from the other end.

Lucia’s body stiffened and her mind suddenly went blank.

Why was a woman answering?

"Hello? Hello, would you want to speak to August?"

Hearing no response, the woman on the other end asked again.

With this sentence, Lucia heard the voice and recognized the owner.

Wasn't she the actress, Adeline, whom she had met in the company that day? She was with August and in Franksfurt! Lucia didn’t have time to think about it, so she hurriedly said "Sorry, wrong number" and hung up the phone without thinking.

She held the phone, feeling some unspoken emotions overwhelm her.

Lucia bit her lower lip and thought of August telling her that the company was only sending out colleagues on business trips to cover his actions.

What actions does he have? Could it be a private meeting with the actress? A trip to Bearlin? A night out? And what about her kidnapping? Was it just an accident? Maybe, August had always been a womanizer, and she couldn't change that perception just because he had saved her life.

Lucia felt confused, and the more she thought about it, the more confused she became.

Finally, she simply turned off her phone and took her suitcase back to her apartment.

At the same time, in the restaurant of hotel, August walked to the dining table, untied his suit, and sat down, looking at Adeline across the table, "My phone is ringing?"

With her beautiful eyes rolling, Adeline glanced at the phone on the table and shrugged, "I answered it, and the caller said it was the wrong number."

August didn’t think much of it, but after a few seconds of pause, he suddenly thought of a face in his mind.

He frowned, and after a pause, he picked up his phone and looked up his address book.

As expected, it was Lucia who called.

He swept a glance at Adeline and said in a deep voice, "Go find Alex after eating, and he'll tell you about the specific tasks."

After saying this, he said no more, took a step away, and turned around to leave.

When he walked outside to the corridor, he took out the phone and dialed it again, but a mechanical female voice came from the other end, "The number you have dialed is powered off, please..."

With his eyes darkened, August held the phone, in a somewhat mixed mood.

Then, he paused and dialed Burton.

The phone went through, but somehow, no one answered it.

August frowned, feeling some displeasure.

He didn't expect them to be so bold once they returned to Cannada, one shutting down and the other not answering the phone.

Did they do it on purpose? At this moment, Burton, who was sitting in a taxi, suddenly sneezed.

He rubbed his nose and looked at the woman at his side.

Paula was leaning against the back of the seat and had fallen asleep.

Seeing the woman's side face, Burton unconsciously curled his lips.

Suddenly, the car stopped.

Paula who was sleeping tilted her body and leaned directly on his shoulder.

With a slight tilt of his head, Burton found that they were suddenly much closer.

As long as he lowered his head, he could touch her bare forehead.

Burton curled his lips, and his heart, which had always been calm, was beating faster.

He...could not be in love with her?
