Chapter 149

Before coming to Franksfurt, Lucia had specifically done some research online and found some information that there were cases of drivers in Franksfurt deliberately taking a detour for a higher fare, but she had never expected that she would encounter something like this within a day of her arrival here.

Lucia opened the map on her phone to estimate the fare.

Seeing the estimated fare was 150 FRD, she knew at once that this driver was trying to cheat her! Lucia took a deep breath and showed the screen of her phone to the driver.

"I can only give you 150."

The driver glanced at the screen and immediately shook his head.

"No, 400, 400 FRD."

Seeing how insistent he was, Lucia was even angrier in her heart.

Did he really think that people from Cannada had money growing on trees, which was so easy to get? She also insisted on her position and refused to budge.

"Just 150."

Hearing that, the driver looked angry as well.

He gestured with his hands, saying, "Then I'll...drive you back there!"

With that, he pointed to the place where the phone card store was.

Lucia was stunned, not expecting him to say that.

Seeing him about to start the car, she immediately pushed open the door and got out of the car.

The driver angrily rolled down the window and held out four fingers.

"400, 400!"

During the dinner party, everyone had drunk some wine because of the hospitality of the receptionists from Teda Corporation, including Lucia.

Now that she was angry and affected by the wine, she refused to stop arguing with the driver.

Here in a foreign country, she wouldn't lose the face of her countrymen.

She had to teach the driver a lesson.

She spoke English, so the driver used his broken English and gestures.

The two of them argued excitedly with each other.

Just then, a black car stopped in front of the hotel.

Inside the car, August raised his eyes and saw through the front window that Lucia, wearing a cool halter white dress, was arguing fiercely with the taxi driver.

Instantly, his eyebrows furrowed slightly.

This woman was actually fighting with someone abroad.

Burton, who was sitting up front, also saw it.

He turned to August hesitantly and asked, "Mr.Adams, it seems that the driver is trying to overcharge her."

August's eyes darkened.

Without saying a word, he pushed open the door to get out of the car straight away and stepped toward Lucia.

Lucia was so focused on the argument with the driver that she didn’t notice the man approaching from behind.

She looked serious and said word by word, "I won't fall for it.Just 150.If you don't want it, I'll leave right away."

No sooner had she finished speaking than she suddenly felt that her wrist was grabbed and she was pulled aside.

When she steadied herself and raised her head, she saw the handsome back of the man in a sharp suit.

August? What was he doing here? August stood in front of the taxi, looking down at the driver.

His aura was so strong that it was a bit overwhelming.

He opened his mouth and said fluently in English, "Get out of here now, or I'll call the police!"

With that, he turned slightly sideways, took the 150 FRD from Lucia’s hand, and shoved it through the taxi window.

The driver was apparently subdued by August's presence.

Just now he saw that Lucia was from Cannada and that she was alone and vulnerable, so he tried to make more money by overcharging her, but he didn’t expect such a result.

Without saying anything more, the driver took the money, rolled up the window quickly, and stepped on the gas.

Watching the car fly away, Lucia stood where she was, feeling even more stunned.

To her surprise, she had argued with the driver for quite a while, but it was not as effective as August coming over to say something like that! After a glance at the car that was flying away, August turned around unhurriedly, gave her a cold look, and said coldly, "What a bad judge."

Lucia was confused, thinking she had heard it wrong.

What did being a bad judge have to do with being overcharged? August's eyes were sullen and cold.

He curled his lip and mocked, "You don’t have a good eye for drivers or men."

Hearing that, Lucia was shocked and puzzled.

What did he mean by not having a good eye for men? Just then, August glanced at her, pursed his lips more tightly, and said word by word, "You accept a man who can't even protect you.I'm really impressed."

Lucia could tell that there was a hidden meaning in his words.

What happened outside the company yesterday came to her mind at once, and she instantly understood that he was talking about Kirk.

She gritted her teeth, with a bit of displeasure in her heart, and stared squarely at him, saying, "That's better than a womanizer who has many love affairs."

With that, she deliberately craned her neck to look behind August. Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Her lips curved into an innocent smile as she asked as if on purpose, "Why don't you have a star with you on your business trip today, Mr.Adams? Can you stand it if you have to be lonely for the next three or four days?"

When August heard Lucia say those sarcastic words in an odd tone, his eyes darkened all of a sudden and he couldn't wait to punish this sharp-tongued woman seriously.

It had only been a few days since he'd given her a lesson last time.

He hadn't expected her to become so bold as to talk to him like that! Suppressing his irritation, August stepped forward and slowly approached her.

After a few seconds, the coldness on his face faded and it was replaced by a smile.

He slowly moved closer to her and whispered in her ear, asking in an extremely soft voice, "It's been such a long time that I want a change sometimes, so why don't I try you tonight?"

Hearing those words, Lucia instantly felt her cheeks burning and took a few steps back in a panic.

"You..."

She hadn't expected that August would use such a trick! However, looking at the wicked glint in the man’s eyes, she could not tell if he meant it or not.

When she stepped back, August immediately followed and moved closer to her.

He reached out and grabbed her shoulders quickly so that she could not break free or back away.

"What do you say?"

He raised his dashing eyebrows and said in a deep, magnetic voice, "Shall we try it tonight?"

Lucia’s cheeks were extremely red.

She was trying to be sarcastic with August, only to get herself caught up in trouble.

She took a deep breath and pretended to be calm.

"I...have something to do, so I'll leave now."

She wanted to leave, but August grabbed her shoulders hard with his large hands, making it impossible for her to pull away.

"Do you think you can get away?"

August's lips curved into a slightly cold smile.

He grabbed her shoulders harder and pulled her into his arms all of a sudden.

Following that, he started to walk toward the hotel with his arm around Lucia’s shoulders.

Lucia wanted to cry, unable to free herself.

For the first time in her life, she got to know what it was like to shoot herself in the foot! She was no match for August.

In the end, she had to pay the price for what she had started in the heat of the moment.

She gritted her teeth.

Feeling how hard the man was holding her shoulders, she knew that she couldn't get away from him at the moment.

Therefore, she had to wait until he let down his guard a little before she could find a chance to escape! Meanwhile, two sneaky figures were hiding behind the trees across the road, watching what was going on at the hotel.

A bald man patted the thin man next to him and said in a deep voice, "Did you get a clear shot of the woman's face beside August?"

The thin man next to him immediately said obligingly, "Yes, I did.Shall we send the pictures directly to K?"

The bald man watched from behind as Lucia and August walked into the hotel and said with a flicker of hostility in his eyes, "Yeah.K told us to keep an eye on her and kidnap her straight away when we get a chance."
