Chapter 6

Chapter 006 Hence Lucia cautiously said to August, "I can take the subway, so I won't bother you."

Hearing that, August, who was reading the newspaper, raised his head and looked at Lucia.

His gaze lingered on Lucia's reddened face for a few seconds.

Then he said, 'Lucia, have you forgotten?"

Lucia was confused by the question, "What did I forget?"

"You are my wife."

Replied by August.

"Oh."

Lucia didn't say another word and got into the car obediently.

Because of these words, Lucia's heart suddenly softened.

No matter what happened between her and August or what August had been like, now he was her
husband, and she was his wife.

If nothing unexpected happened, they would be together for the rest of their lives.

Finally, at the last minute of work time, Lucia arrived at the office and pressed her fingerprint to punch
in.

In such a way, she could get two hundred dollars as this month's full attendance awards.

Leaning against her desk, Lucia gasped for air.



At first, she had thought they would be discovered.

Out of her expectation, August had a private entrance all the time where there was no one else.

So she could take August's car in the future without worrying that someone would discover it.

She was very happy to think about it.

Just as Lucia was feeling lucky, a department meeting was about to begin.

Lucia grabbed her laptop and quickly found herself a seat in the small corner of the meeting room.

Lion Group had a large administrative department with a total of more than 50 people.

It cooperated with different departments for daily business operations.

The content of the meeting was still the same as usual, such as personal appearance, attendance
policy, and punctuality in the workplace.

The routine presentation made her a little sleepy.

Just then, Carter, the administrative director, suddenly called out Lucia's name, and everyone in the
meeting was woken up by the news and turned to look at her.

Lucia was even more confused, but she had to stand up obediently eve "From now on, Lucia will be
promoted to administrative assistant."

Carter applauded after speaking.

Although other attendees felt a little bit strange, they followed.

Then the meeting was over.



Lucia, as the person who was promoted, was confused.

She hurriedly followed behind Carter and asked, "What's going on? Did I get a promotion?"

Casting a glance at Lucia, Carter replied blankly, "I just received a notice from the human resources
department this morning.

As for the reason, I don't know either."

Then she left.

For a moment, Lucia became a hot topic in the department.

Lion Group had a strict set of criteria for promotion.

The intern had to finish her internship for three months, and then pass both the exams and the
interview if she wanted to be a formal employee.

And if an average employee wanted to be promoted to an assistant, they had to work for three years
and pass the assessment of the director.

Lucia had only two years of experience on the job, so she was not qualified.

Therefore, her promotion caused a discussion.

"What makes Lucia an assistant? By the way, I remember that you have been working for three years.

The director is good to you.

In my opinion, you should be the one to be promoted."

"Who the hell knows what kind of plain dumb luck she has!"



In the lady's room, there were more criticisms than congratulations about Lucia's promotion.

At the same time, Lucia, who was listening to her colleagues' comments in a booth, felt miserable.

Although she had only been in the company for two years, she was diligent in every assignment.

She took the job seriously and got along with her colleagues well.

How could she be hated for being promoted? "Lucia, Congratulations!"

Lydia Anderson jumped in front of Lucia and handed her an apple when the depressed Lucia returned
to her seat.

Lydia, who had just turned 20 this year, was a young girl who had been interning in the company for
almost three months.

She had been assigned to Lucia since she had entered the company.

During the period, Lucia 0.10 Chapler 006 treated Lydia as her sister.

Lydia was the first person to congratulate Lucia, which made Lucia feel better.

She smiled at Lydia and said, "Thank you.

Lydia,"

and then took the apple from her.

The promotion led to a handover from Lucia to Lydia.

As Lydia followed Lucia, listening carefully to what Lucia said, suddenly, her sight fell on the ring on
Lucia's ring finger.



Lydia's eyes lit up with surprise.

"Lucia, your ring is so beautiful!"

Although there was no diamond embedded in the ring, the contoured design pleased the eye.

Hearing Lydia's comment, Lucia stopped and set her eyes on the ring.

She couldn't help but think of the scene where August had put the ring on her finger.

Although it was not a romantic occasion, a handsome person always made people feel romantic and
dreamy.

Thinking about it, Lucia felt her cheeks blush.

"Lucia, would you mind letting me try it?"

Lydia stared at the ring on Lucia's finger and asked sincerely.

Lucia hadn't expected Lydia to make such a request.

Looking into Lydia's eager eyes, Lucia was in a dilemma because August had told her that she was not
allowed to take off this ring no matter whenever and wherever.

So Lucia said to Lydia apologetically after hesitating for a moment, "I'm sorry, this is my wedding ring."

Lydia was surprised at Lucia's reply.

She quickly apologized, "Geez, I'm sorry.

I didn't know.

I was so rude."



But there was still a flash of disappointment and unwillingness in her eyes.

"It's all right.' Lucia comforted her.

When did you get married?"

Lydia tilted her head and asked curiously.

During her internship in the company.

Lydia had a general understanding of everyone in the department.

Lucia had been single all the time before, and she hadn't even had a boyfriend.

It was rather strange and unexpected that she suddenly wore a wedding ring.

Lucia realized that her case was strange, but she couldn't tell the truth.

Even if she told them she was actually on a blind date with the president of Lion Group and they had
married, perhaps no one would buy it.

After thinking for a while, Lucia described it lightly, "I met him on a blind date.

It just happened recently."

Then she lowered her head and continued her work.

Seeing that Lucia didn't say anything more, Lydia dropped the topic.

About twenty minutes later, Lucia finally finished sorting out the handover.

She printed them out and handed them over to Lydia.



"Thank you, Lucia,"

Lydia said in a sweet voice, with the documents in her arms.

She looked at her watch and found that it was time for lunch.

She said to Lucia, "Lucia, I still have some questions that I don't understand.

How about we have lunch together and you can tell me again?"

Afraid that Lucia wouldn't agree, she added, "I'm afraid of making mistakes, so I won't get through the
internship."

She frowned and looked at Lucia with pitiful eyes.

In response, Lucia had no reason to reject Lydia and happily agreed.

"Lydia, are we having lunch here?"

Lucia asked.

The hotel they arrived at was the one with the highest standard in Austos, in terms of its furnishing or
food.

It was not a place that any person could afford.

Lydia, who had been leading the way, immediately turned around to hold Lucia's arm.

She replied with a smile, "Yes, I have booked a private room just now."

"But, isn't it too expensive?"



Lucia still felt it was not proper to have a working lunch in such a place.

It was too extravagant "Lucia, I want to thank you for taking care of me all the time.

Besides, I've made the reservation.

It will be a waste if we don't eat it."

Lydia said as she grabbed Lucia's wrist tightly, as if she was afraid that Lucia would run away.

Lucia was thinking about how much the meal would cost, not noticing this small gesture.

Seeing that Lucia didn't say anything, Lydia pulled Lucia inside in a hurry.

After entering the private room, Lucia was once again shocked by the luxurious decor.

Lucia looked at Lydia with suspicion.

After thinking for a while, she asked, "Lydia, are you born into a rich family?"

Lydia smiled at Lucia's question but didn't answer it.

Seeing this, Lucia felt a little relieved.

If Lydia were an average person, she wouldn't agree on having the meal.

After all, it was not worthwhile to have a meal with her yo two menthe Luole have a seat.

What would you like to eat?"

Lydia sat down next to Lucia and handed over the menu Lucia took a deep breath when she saw the
priceeven the cheapest dish was priced at four figures.



Now she suspected the customers here were gold eaters.

"Lydia, let's go somewhere else."

The price made Lucia's heart ache.

With a smile on her face, Lydia took the menu from Lucia and said, "It's my treat.

Don't worry."

Lydia flipped through the menu while ordering.

At this point, Lucia felt like peeing.

She then went to the restroom in the room.

When she came back, dishes and drinks had been on the table.

As soon as she sat down, Lydia raised her glass of juice and said to her, "Congratulations, Lucia!
You've got a promotion!"

Hearing the heart-warming words, Lucia picked up the juice and clinked glasses with Lydia.

"Lydia, thank you."

Then after taking only a sip, she put down the cup.

Lydia kept her eyes on Lucia.

Upset by Lucia only taking a sip, she drank the juice in her cup up in one gulp, and then showed the
empty glass to Lucia and said, "Lucia, drink it up.

After all, it's to congratulate your promotion!"



Lucia thought Lydia had a point.

Given that juice was not a strong drink and the worst would only be a full stomach, so she picked up
the juice again and drank the rest in one breath.

Seeing that Lucia had stepped into her trap, Lydia smiled and looked at the time without her expression
changing.
