Chapter 77

Lucia immediately turned her head, but the moment when she avoided looking at him, she was a little
worried.

Did he catch her peeking at him? She bit her lip and forced herself to concentrate on the minutes of the
meeting, August found Lucia a little flustered, ears slightly red and a few seconds later, he faintly
smiled crookedly.

Finally, the meeting ended successfully, and both sides were happy.

As it was almost time for dinner, the representatives from both sides naturally had to have a meal
together.

Only after the crowd left did Lucia leave the conference room along with the secretaries, Looking at the
people walking away.

she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Luckily, she had just completed her task successfully in the conference room.

After walking a few steps and seeing Lisa walking not far ahead, Lucia suddenly thought of her sudden
fall in the conference room just now.

At that time, she was in a hurry and did not watch her step, but she found no obstacle on the ground
when she stood up to pick up the file afterward.

She also remembered that Lisa was right behind her when she walked in with the documents in her
arms.



It was also very likely that Lisa would have tripped her up at that time while everyone was still not
seated.

After all, she was the only one around her at that time.

Lucia took a deep breath and opened her mouth to call out to her, "Lisa, wait a minute."

Hearing Lucia called her, Lisa stopped her steps, turned her head, and said coldly, "What is it?"

Looking more somber, Lucia took a few steps closer and said, "If I remember correctly, you were right
next to me when I fell just now..."

Not waiting for Lucia to finish her sentence, Lisa spoke up and interrupted her directly, "Do you think I
tripped you up? Lucia, don't just accuse people wrongly."

Hearing her say that, Lucia looked more somber, "I haven't even said anything yet.

I just wanted to ask why you didn't help me just now, but you say that.

Is it true that you tripped me?"

Once she heard these words, Lisa's face suddenly turned pale.

Then she raised her voice and said, "Don't you talk nonsense!"

Lucia said word for word, "You know best whether I'm talking nonsense or not.

This time you will be spared.

Next time something like this happens again, I will not let you off."

Before, she always tolerated everything, thinking the less trouble the better.



But now it seemed that showing weakness sometimes not only would not get sympathy but also let the
bullies get even more aggressive.

She was now slowly getting stronger.

Without waiting for Lisa to say anything else, Lucia took a step and walked straight ahead.

With looking at her leaving, the coldness in Lisa's eyes became more obvious.

She was the one who tripped her up and she wanted Lucia to make a fool of herself in front of
everyone.

But she didn't expect that after a period of rest, Lucia would be able to be stronger than before! Lisa
went angrier.

She had never considered Lucia as a rival before, but now, she was going to take her seriously!
Suddenly, a light laugh came from the side, "Lisa, I didn't expect you to be defeated at times."

Lisa turned her head and saw Irene walking from the side, then her face was somber, "You are not
much better, right?"

She had also heard about Irene's affairs with Lucia, Hearing her say that, Irene not only didn't get
annoyed but also smiled, "Lisa, have you ever heard the saying that people who have a common
enemy are friends? Do you think we are friends now?"

She had suffered so much punishment because of Lucia.

Sooner or later, she would have to settle this score with her.

Wouldn't her odds be better with a helper? Lisa's expression changed slightly, and she looked at Irene.

Only after a moment did she say, "Of course."



Rushing back to the Administration Department, Lucia just felt her throat was smoking.

When she returned to the office and saw the bruise cream and spray on the desk, she froze for a few
seconds.

Who put these things here? They weren't there when she came in this morning.

Looking down at her somewhat red and swollen knee, Lucia was even more puzzled.

Suddenly.

August's cold face flashed in her mind.

Could it be August? How could he care about her? Lucia shook off her head and stopped thinking
about it.

No matter who brought these, she had to get a glass of water to drink first.

Walking to the pantry area and receiving a cup of warm water, she drank most of it in one gulp.

Emma saw her in the pantry area and immediately came over with her cup "Lucia, I heard you went to
receive foreign guests?"

Lucia nodded and said softly, "Well, I'm just setting things up.

It's pretty tiring, too."

Emma blinked her eyes and asked nosily.

"Really? I'm quite curious if the French representatives are handsome.

Are they more handsome than President Adams?"



Lucia couldn't help but laugh, "If you want to see the foreign representatives, run to the door now and
you might even see them."

"Forget it! I'm not willing to go."Emma curled her lips, and suddenly she thought of something, saying,
"By the way, I just saw Harris come by and enter your office, but he quickly left."

Burton? What was he doing here? After a moment of hesitation, Lucia thought of the medicine on the
desk and suddenly reacted.

Could it be that August told him to do this? But why was he suddenly so concerned about her? Not
waiting for Lucia to think about it, Emma suddenly turned serious when she saw Lisa coming back, "No
more small talk, or Lisa should scold me again."

With that, she trotted back to her workstation.

Lucia swept a glance at Lisa and also carried the cup back to the office.

Not long after she sat down, her phone dinged and she received a message.

She opened it and saw that it was a message from Paul.

"I'm running an errand downtown at noon, close to your office.

Is it convenient for you to have dinner with me?"

After she met with Paul yesterday, they exchanged contact information and added WeChat.

As soon as she arrived home, she received a greeting message from him.

He said good night to her in the evening and reminded her to have breakfast in the morning.



The messages were not too many, but they were just right, making her feel the warmth.

Lucia glanced at the time, five minutes before the end of the day.

After a moment's hesitation, she agreed and sent Paul a message back.

"Okay."

Paul replied immediately, "Okay, I'll meet you downstairs at your office.

See you later."

He was already downstairs? Lucia was shocked and immediately packed up her things.

When it was time to leave work, she immediately took the elevator and left.

Paul and she had only just met, and if her colleagues saw them together, they would inevitably gossip,
so she might as well go down quickly to avoid embarrassment.

When the elevator reached the first floor, she trotted out of the lobby.

As soon as she went out, she saw a tall and large figure standing not far away.

Paul saw her, curled his lips, and waved at her, smiling as gently as usual.

Lucia smiled back at him and stepped forward.

Down the steps, in the black Maybach, August was casually flipping through the tablet, He opened his
mouth lightly and asked, "Did you send the medicine to her?"

"Yes."

"Well, let's go."



While saying that, he put down the tablet.

When he inadvertently looked out of the window, his eyes focused on something, and his face abruptly
sank.

Lucia was with a man!
