Chapter 354 Tell Less Lies

She had just received the trophy.

The man's fingers loosened, and His warm fingers passed over the back of her hand intentionally or unintentionally.

In an instant, a burst of numbness ran across the back of her hand, hitting her heart.

Lucia trembled nervously, her face flashed an unnatural look, she immediately retracted her gaze, looked down at the stage, and looked forward to the end of the awards soon.She didn't expect that August would give her the award.

The applause from the audience gradually became smaller, and then the host said again, "I believe that Mr.Adams, must have seen Miss Mitchell’s works.I wonder what blessings and expectations he has for Miss Mitchell.With that said, the host handed the microphone to August, who was on the side.

On the other side, Lucia watched the man take the microphone, her heart almost jumping to her throat.

It was beyond her expectation that things had developed to this point.

The next second, the man's low and magnetic voice came out of the speaker.

"First of all, congratulations to Miss Mitchell for winning the Best Creative Award this time.This time, my expectations for Miss Mitchell..."

August said, slowly turning to his side and looking at Lucia Lucia took a deep breath, plucked up the courage to raise her eyes, met his eyes, pretended to be calm, and smiled at him.

In the past few years, she has long practiced a standard smile, and even if she was upset, she could still show a perfect smile on her face.

And at this moment, Lucia smiled like this.

Facing the clear eyes of the woman, August's eyes sank, and a strange feeling arose in his heart.

Soon, he frowned slightly, his face turned cold again, and he withdrew his eyes and looked down at the stage, and finished the rest of his speech.

"I hope from now on, Miss Mitchell can tell fewer lies," Augustus said.

After saying these words, it was as if a bomb had been dropped into the calm lake.

Everyone in the audience was stunned for a few seconds. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became a little awkward.

Lucia stood on the stage, her face turned pale, she did not expect August to say something like this, so she took a deep breath and held it in her throat, and she could not let it out.

The host was stunned for a while, then quickly reacted, and laughed dryly.

"Mr.Adams is joking, because the protagonist in Miss Mitchell's work "Puppet" is a liar and good at disguising.He is echoing the theme, and at the same time, he also calls on everyone to be an honest person" the host said after a few seconds of thinking about this.

The host forced out an excuse, and the people in the audience were willing to buy it.

The originally awkward atmosphere gradually improved a lot.

Lucia clenched her hand slowly and bit her lip, and the smile on her face became more hesitant.

August said this about her in front of so many people.

Isn't this embarrassing her in public? Or...had he discovered the true identities of Timothy and Janet? So alluding to her lying? When Lucia thought about it, a coolness crept into her heart instantly, which made her feel a little guilty and scared unconsciously.

The host next to her continued, "Okay, thank you Mr.Adams, and finally, let's congratulate the winner of the Best Creative Award this time - Lucia!"

With applause from the audience, Lucia came back to her senses, smiled at the crowd, and bowed deeply.

After stepping down, Lucia felt that her heart was beating fast, and an uneasy premonition took over her heart.

If August had discovered the true identities of Timothy and Janet, he would rush over to question her right away, why would he deliberately mock her here? After thinking about it, she didn't want to understand and watched the award ceremony absentmindedly.

In the distance, she inadvertently raised her eyes and saw the tall figure standing over there, and her heart tightened a bit, involuntarily.

No matter what August said on stage just now, as long as it involved Timothy and Janet, she will never step back! Soon, the award ceremony was over.

Lucia lifted her skirt and walked directly to the dressing room provided by the organizer.

She intended to take Timothys and Janet to dinner in a while, so naturally, she couldn't wear this dress, and her makeup today was relatively heavy, so it was really strange to go out looking like that.

After asking for the dressing room number given to her by the staff, Lucia rushed to dressing room No.7, walked to the table, and sat down, ready to take off the makeup on her face.

She picked up the makeup remover wipes and wiped off the lipstick, and a picture flashed in her mind involuntarily.It was the scene where she looked at August on stage just now.

For some reason, when she thought of him, she couldn't help but burst into flames.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps coming from outside the door of the room, and then, the door of the dressing room was suddenly slammed shut.

Lucia was removing her eye makeup and putting a wipe on her eyelids, so she didn't have time to open her eyes to see.

Unexpectedly, the next second, the chair under her suddenly turned half a circle, and then, a clear male fragrance trickled into her nose.

Lucia was startled, and hurriedly brought down the makeup remover towel on her eyelids, and what caught her eye was a handsome face.

August put both hands on the handle of her chair, leaned down slightly, and looked at her condescendingly.

The two of them were facing each other, and the distance was very close.

For a moment, Lucia’s heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably.

Lucia took in a deep breath, "What are you...doing?" She asked.

August raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes were dark and unclear, he lifted his lips and spat out a few words.

"What do you think?" He asked Lucia back.

"I...how do I know?" Lucia asked him.

She was a little flustered and seemed to be in a mess.

"Get up, get out quickly..." She ordered him.

August frowned.

Not only did he not get up, but got closer to her.

The next second, he stretched out his hand and pinched her chin without hesitation.

Anger was brewing in the man's eyes.His icy eyes seemed fiery, he frowned, and his voice was very low.

"Why did you run abroad without a word?" Augustus asked her.

Since he met her at the airport that day, he immediately sent someone to check her flight, and when he saw that she flew in from Ameca, he was about to explode.He never gave up looking for her before, and even turned the entire Austos city upside down, but couldn't find her.

Later, he went to nearby Figo City, and Sonirie searched all over, but couldn't find her.He never expected that she would go abroad.No wonder he couldn't find her.

The more August thought about it, the angrier he became.He involuntarily increased the strength between his fingers.

Suddenly, Lucia's face became a little ugly.She frowned in pain and gritted her teeth.

"August, let me go!"

She said painfully.

"I ask you, why did you lie to me five years ago? You quit your job and disappeared?"

Augustus insisted on knowing.

It's a shame that he almost gave his life to save her back then, but he didn't expect her to be so resolute, she just walked away! When Lucia heard the words, she suddenly thought of what he said on the podium just now, and then she suddenly realized and reacted.It turned out that the so-called "lie" in his mouth was referring to the fact that she lied to him five years ago and left without saying goodbye.

It turned out not to be related to Timothy and Janet.

Thinking of this, Lucia secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
