Chapter 39

Lucia came back to her office in a low mood.

And her door was pushed open shortly after she sat down in her seat.

Lisa stood at the door, looking at Lucia and asking, "How is it going? Is it all ready?"

Lucia was not in the mood and answered casually.

"Yes."

Lisa was a little surprised.

"Mr.Adams is here?"

"Yes."

Looking at Lucia, who said nothing more than the word "Yes", Lisa spoke up discontentedly, "What do
you mean by that? How is your work going exactly?"

Lucia took a deep breath and came back to her senses before she turned to Lisa and said word by
word, "I did everything I needed to do to receive Mr.Nordhaus and have him in the reception room.

And Mr.Adams is here, but I don’t know how their talk went."

Lisa was obviously a bit dissatisfied when she heard that, but she couldn’t find anything wrong with it
She had long heard rumors that Mr.Nordhaus was a womanizer and a bully.

That was why she had deliberately given the most difficult job of receiving him to Lucia.

She just wanted to see Lucia make a fool of herself, but she hadn’t expected that things wouldn’t turn
out as she had hoped, The topic was closed, so she had to move on.



"Is the attendance report ready? I need it already."

Lucia took a deep breath and answered truthfully, "You just told me to do it this morning, and I had
another job this afternoon, so I didn’t have time to do it yet."

Hearing that, Lisa said coldly, "Finish it as soon as you can."

With that, she turned around straight away and stepped out of the room.

The door was closed with a bang.

Lucia sat at her desk, without feeling any better.

Once she thought of August, she wilted like a piece of limp lettuce.

When she finally got home from work, Lucia tried to ask Turner for advice on how to make August stop
being angry, only to find out that August wouldn’t be coming home at night.

She thought it was just one night, but to her surprise, August did not come home for three nights in a
row.

1 It seemed that this time, he was seriously angry with her.

The three days passed quickly.

She was so busy with her work at the department that she barely sow Augusta few times.

Even when she did, she just ran into him occasionally in the company and took a quick look at him.

Lucia tried many times to find an opportunity.



Finally, when the department had a document to hand over to the President’s Office, she volunteered to
deliver it.

She didn’t want anything more than to meet August and have a few words with him.

With the document in her hand, Lucia headed there with excitement.

Just as she arrived at the door of the President’s Office, she saw Irene So, Irene had already been
discharged from the hospital, They exchanged a glance.

Then, Lucia looked away and went on toward August’s office, "Wait a minute"

Irene suddenly stopped Lucia the moment Lucia brushed past her.

Lucia looked back at Irene.

"What’s up?"

Seeing Irene now, she kept her normal mind, without speculating or thinking too much about it.

It seemed that Irene was still a bit afraid of Lucia in her heart.

She sounded a little hesitant, but her voice was somewhat cold at the same time.

"What are you doing there?"

Lucia raised the document in her hand.

"Delivering the document."

Irene held out her hand.

"Give it to me.



I’ll deliver it."

Lucia pulled back her hand with the document and said lightly, "I have something to report, so I’d better
do it myself."

With that, she didn’t wait for Irene to say anything else and walked straight forward.

Irene’s face instantly darkened.

She turned around to stare at Lucia from behind as she gritted her teeth.

One day, sooner or later, she would pay Lucia back for what she had suffered before! When she got to
August’s office, Lucia raised her hand to knock on the door.

When she heard a voice inside, she pushed the door open and went in.

Inside the office, she saw August flipping through papers at his desk.

2 She took a deep breath.

"Mr.Adams, here is the report you wanted from the Administration Department."

Hearing her voice, August stopped to look up at her.

"Well, just put it on the desk."

"Okay."

Lucia slowly put the document on the desk.

After that, she still stood in the same place and had no intention to leave.

August could see that the woman was trying to say something and asked, "What else?"



In the past few days, he had purposely not gone home to keep his distance and get estranged from
her.

Besides, it wasn’t a good idea for him to go back at this point… Lucia twisted her hands together and
gathered the courage to ask, "Tonight, are you coming home?"

"Is there something going on at home?"

Lucia bit her lip.

"No."

August casually put the papers in his hand aside.

"We’ll see then."

With that, he stood up, walked to the coat rack, and picked up his coat.

Lucia felt a lump in her throat.

She suddenly reached out and gently grabbed the man’s shirt.

"Are you still mad at me?"

He hadn’t come home since the last time he said those words to her in the lounge.

August paused and turned slightly sideways.

"No."

Lucia lowered her head and bit her lip.

"So, you dislike me."



Hearing that, August frowned.

"No."

He had never disliked her.

Otherwise, why would he have married her in the first place? Lucia took a deep breath and said softly,
"Then why don’t you come home tonight? I… and Turner both miss you a lot."

August paused, not knowing how to refuse.

Although he had married her for another purpose, she was his nominal wife, after all, so he shouldn’t
have left her alone.

After a few seconds of silence, he said softly, "Okay."

Hearing that, Lucia was overjoyed.

"Great!"

Because of the joy, she tugged harder at the corner of his shirt unconsciously.

Suddenly, the look on his face changed as he let out a groan.

"What… what’s wrong?"

Lucia was taken aback and subconsciously let go of his shirt.

She looked at the man’s somewhat stiff back and asked worriedly, "What’s wrong with you?"

August fixed the look on his face and casually responded, "Nothing.



I have to go out for something.

You can go back to work Seeing how firm August’s attitude was, Lucia didn’t ask more questions.

She said yes and then got out of the office.

Anyway, he was willing to go home now! Lucia was in such a good mood that she immediately sent a
text message to Turner when she got back to her department, asking Turner to prepare a few more
dishes.

After receiving Turner’s reply, Lucia happily took her glass to the pantry area and poured a glass of
juice.

Emma walked over to Lucia and picked up a glass to get hot water.

Seeing the expression on Lucia’s face, she couldn’t help but ask, "Why are you so happy? You’re just
like a girl in love.

So… are you seeing someone?"

Lucia came to her senses and subconsciously denied it.

"No, I’m not!"

Although she said so, somehow, her cheeks were burning.

Emma chuckled and said, "Your face is so red, and you still say no? I would say that you are either in
love or thinking about someone you like!"

Hearing that, Lucia didn’t know what to say.

With her glass, she quickly slipped into her office and closed the door.



She leaned against the door for quite a while before she calmed down a bit.

She touched her cheek, and it was really hot! She was just thinking about August… Did she really have
a crush on him? Suddenly, her phone dinged.

Lucia came back to her senses.

She picked it up and saw that it was a text message from Mrs.Mitchell.

"Have you talked about it with August, Lucia? Why don’t you tell me?"

Only when she saw this message did Lucia suddenly remembered that she still had something to talk
about with August! It was the wedding.

She hadn’t seen August much in the past few days, so she had forgotten about it.

If August came home today, she would have to find some time to talk with him.
