Chapter 192 She Sang A Song On The Stage

When August heard this, his eyes darkened a bit.He turned and walked towards her.

After approaching, he stared at her and asked, "Why?"

Lucia took a deep breath and said word by word, "This is not a bonus.I don't want it"

Hearing her answer, August was a little surprised.

Unexpectedly, she had seen through his plan.

August raised his eyebrows slightly and said softly, "Take it as a loan.You can use it first, and I'll deduct it from the bonus." Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

He would naturally arrange for Mr.Mitchell's surgery.

These tens of thousands of dollars were just for her family.

He hadn't expected that she would not appreciate it.

Lucia gritted her teeth, looked up at August, and said word by word, "I don't need it now.I'll just wait for next month's salary.Thank you, Mr.Adams, for your kindness."

With that, she bowed respectfully to him.

It was not that she was not short of money, but she just didn't want the money he gave her, as if as soon as she accepted his money, their relationship would become illegitimate.

For her, the money was a psychological burden.

August looked at her and frowned slightly, finding her a little strange.

During the time she lived in his villa, he had never seen such a stubborn and determined side of her, as if it was only at this moment that he recognized the real Lucia.

Seeing that August didn't have any words or instructions, Lucia lowered her eyes and said, "If it's okay, I'll go first."

With that, she turned around and walked out of the office without looking back.

The moment the door closed, August came to his sense.She was stubborn.

Back at the office, Lucia was a little stunned.

Why did August give her money? Did he know that she was short of money? She had many questions.

But before she could think clearly, she got a call.

Lucia glanced at the phone screen and saw that it was Paula.

Without hesitation, she answered, "Hello? Paula."

On the other end of the phone, Paula's voice was not as lively as usual, but a bit tired and weak, "Lucia, why don't we hang out tonight? I'm a little upset..."

Hearing her voice like this, Lucia was startled secretly, "What's the matter?"

As far as she could remember, Paula had always been flamboyant, optimistic, and positive.She was rarely in such a state unless it was something important.

Paula, who was suddenly questioned, felt a little guilty.

After thinking about it, she hesitated and said, "It’s okay.It's just that I always think of that Bastard Burton.What's wrong with me?"

Hearing this, Lucia was shocked at first, and then she couldn't help but want to laugh, "Paula, are you..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Paula said, "Hey, don't think too much about it! I might be just confused!"

Lucia chuckled and said, "Okay, I'm not thinking too much."

"Well, let's go out tonight.I'm in such a bad mood..."

After hesitating for a moment, Lucia agreed, "Okay."

After all, every time she was sad in the past, Paula would be by her side.

It was rare that Paula was in a bad mood, so she naturally had to be there for her friend.

After finishing the work at hand, Lucia didn't work overtime for one day, which was rare.

After packing her things, she went straight to Paula.

After waiting at the gate of Paula's community for a long time, Lucia saw no one come out.

Lucia was about to make a call when she looked up and saw Paula in a crop top and high-waisted jeans walking out of the gate.

Looking at Paula's outfit, Lucia couldn't help laughing and teasing, "I thought you were going to dance."

Paula winked at her, took her arm, and said, "We're not going to dance.

Let's go to have a drink! Do you remember the last time I told you about a new bar opened by a friend of mine? Let's go!"

When Lucia heard her words, she instantly thought of what had happened the last time she went to Weske with Paula.

They met Gigi there, and they almost couldn't escape...

Lucia was frightened, "I dare not..."

Paula saw what she wanted to say at a glance.

She interrupted Lucia immediately, and said with a smile, "It's not going to happen again! This is my friend's bar, and there is simply singing and drinking.Don't worry!"

Hearing what she said, Lucia was still a little uneasy.

But she couldn't refuse Paula, so she followed.

They went to a restaurant to eat first and then went to the bar.

When they got there, Lucia realized how different the bar Paula was talking about was.

The walls were cold gray, and there were only a few simple letters on the signboard of the same color.

When she walked in, it was completely warm-colored lights.

Above the bar were glazed lights of different lengths emitting warm yellow light, bright but not dazzling.

There was a square stage in the innermost with dark and warm lighting.

A foreign band was playing on it, and the tune of Latin jazz was unique.

It was a bar of Nordic style.

"How is it? I didn't lie to you, did 17"

Paula touched Lucia with her elbow, smiled, and winked at her.

Lucia smiled and replied, "Yes."

This kind of place was indeed much more stylish than Weske.

Before they could walk a few steps, a man in a gray shirt with slightly longer hair came over and said, "Paula! Hello!"

Paula raised her eyes and immediately responded with a smile, "Andy!"

"You finally came! I thought you wouldn't show up!"

Paula smiled, raised her hand, and gave him a fist bump unceremoniously, "I didn't come on an opening day.Now I'll bring my best friend here when I'm free!"

Hearing this, Andy looked at Lucia with a brighter smile, "You're both beautiful women.Welcome!"

After saying hello, Andy took them to the bar and asked the bartender to fix drinks for them.

Andy was easygoing and has no airs.

After a short while, Lucia became acquainted with him.

"Oh, Paula, last time you told me about your friend who can sing.Is it Lucia?"

"You're right! It's her!"

Paula turned to look at Lucia, and smiled, "Paula, why don't you go on stage to sing a song later? It's such a good environment"

Lucia smiled shyly and said softly, "Paula, stop it.It was a few years ago.It's been a long time since I sang."

She had participated in the singer contest in college, and Paula remembered it unexpectedly.

Paula didn't believe it, "Lucia, don't be humble! You've won awards!"

Andy also echoed with a smile, "Lucia, just sing a song later.We're friends anyway."

Paula and Andy both encouraged Lucia, and Lucia couldn't refuse.

She finally had to agree, "Okay, I'll sing a song."

It happened that the band on the stage was taking a break.

When it was time for the singing, Andy led Lucia directly on stage.

On the stage, Lucia held the microphone and looked at the people sitting below, feeling nervous.

When the prelude to My Love was played, she gradually relaxed a little bit.

, The soothing music was playing and Lucia’s voice was soft, ‘I pleasant, and somehow sentimental.

In the bar, all the light seemed to be gathered on Lucia, making people unable to take their eyes off her.

In the corner, Joshua looked at the woman singing on stage and smiled.

Unexpectedly, it was her.

With a smile, he picked up his phone and sent August a message, [August, why don't you come to have a drink?]
