Biting her lip, Lucia couldn’t break free, so she glared at August.
Just then, a soft female voice came from the other end of the phone, "August, when are you coming to see me?"
At the sound of her voice, Lucia froze and her face turned pale.
She knew that the woman on the other end of the line was Jeanne! August faintly drooped his eyes and and said faintly, "I’ll see you later."
Being pinned under him, Lucia felt a great humiliation at this moment.
August was holding her in an ambiguous position while her teeth, glared at August, and said in a very soft voice, ’Let go of me!"
August naturally heard what she said.
But he just looked up slightly, still pressing her wrist.
Jeanne on the other end of the phone was still talking, her sweet voice with a It turned out that it wasn’t that he wasn’t gentle, it was just that he didn’t want to be gentle with her. Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.
Lucia’s heart ached and she felt like something blocked in her chest.
She gritted her teeth with her face flushing red.
Suddenly thinking of something, she lifted her chin deliberately into the cell phone and said, "August, be gentle...
The intimate call and the evocative words were enough to make Jeanne on the other end of the phone think wrong.
Stunned for a moment, August quickly reacted and looked angrily at Lucia.
"August! You..."
Jeanne seemed to cry before she could say anything.
Some panic flashed under August’s eyes.
He was just about to open his mouth to explain when Jeanne had already hung up the phone.
August’s face was somber, and anger suddenly emerged from his eyes.
He gripped the phone tightly, drooped his eyes to look at Lucia, and said coldly, "Lucia, how dare you?"
Lucia gritted her teeth and looked at him stubbornly, "I have asked you to let with veins.
He knew very well that at this time Jeanne could not be stimulated.
If she was unstable, the operation could not be carried out! August frowned and gave Lucia a look.
Without time to say a word to her, he let go of her, stood up, and walked out of the room in stride.
At this time, he had to rush to the hospital to explain clearly to Jeanne, otherwise, the consequences were unthinkable.
Watching August disappear quickly at the door, Lucia secretly sighed with relief.
Her two hands clenched together, trembling a little.
Sure enough, the person he cared about most was still Jeanne.
Slowly calming down a bit, Lucia took a deep breath, bit her lip, and stood up.
When she thought of August’s reaction to Jeanne, Lucia couldn’t help but feel blocked.
She shook her head as if to put all the worries behind her.
Thinking that Paula was still waiting for her outside, Lucia couldn’t think too much about it, immediately adjusted her state and walked out of the office quickly.
After that, Lucia searched around outside the office but did not see Paula, so she had to call her.
Lucia could not help but mutter, "Strange..."
Usually, when she called Paula, she would pick up after two or three rings.
What was wrong with her this time? In the elevator, listening to the ringing in her pocket, Paula frowned and turned her her hands were tied up by Burton, so she couldn’t answer the phone at all.
Burton slightly lowered his head and lightly looked at Paula’s hands tied behind her back, "Ms.Thomas, as long as you leave the company in peace, I will untie you."
He had no choice but to use "extraordinary means".
Just now, when he pulled Paula out of the office, she made all kinds of noise in the company, saying August was a scumbag.
"You rascal!"
Paula’s two eyes, long and thin, were now wider and rounder because of anger, which made her cute. and smiled crookedly at her, "With eight floors down, you will be free."
"You!"
Paula’s face turned red with anger but there was nothing she could do about it.
criminal! The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.
She wanted to break the rope and beat Burton severely, but at that moment, the elevator dinged and stopped on the seventh floor.
The elevator door opened and a group of colleagues from the company came up.
When they saw Burton, they greeted him.
Burton was August’s special assistant anyway, so everyone would show some respect for him.
After greeting Burton, his colleagues couldn’t help but look at Paula next to him.
One because they first saw bit strange.
Noticing the gaze of the crowd, Paula was even more furious.
She turned her head to look at Burton beside her and suddenly thought of something.
With the anger gone from her face, she pulled out a hard smile and leaned toward Burton.
After seeing the name on his badge, she smiled crookedly and said sweetly, "Burton, let’s not go to dinner later.Let’s go straight home and I’ve prepared a "big meal" for you!"
Her voice was neither too loud nor too quiet, enough for everyone to hear clearly in the closed elevator.
What was she going to do? Hearing that, his colleagues in the elevator looked toward Burton, with more or less ambiguous smiles in their eyes. talk nonsense!"
He had nothing to do with her! Paula smiled sweetly and deliberately showed her two tied hands to the crowd, winking With a layer of sweat appearing on his forehead, Burton hurriedly opened his mouth to explain, "No… it’s not what you think."
His colleagues smiled knowingly.
Looking at the rope tied to Paula’s hands, they all said, "Harris, we did not expect you are quite good at playing..."
Everyone looked at each other and smiled with different meanings.
When the elevator stopped, they all walked out. company was ruined!
