Chapter 142

Seeing the defensive look on Paula's face, Burton couldn't help feeling amused.

He raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked instead, "What do you think I will do to you?"

Upon hearing this, Paula immediately folded her arms in defense, "What do you want to do?"

Burton chuckled, and his eyes were clear and innocent, "Don't worry.I'll just send you up, and I won't do
anything."

Paula heard his promise and her vigilance subsided a little.

She said, "Okay, you'll just send me to the door!"

Burton agreed and helped her to walk forward, but Paula seemed to have sprained her ankle badly.

After walking a few steps, she cried out in pain and couldn't go any further.

Seeing the pain on her face, Burton thought it didn't seem like she was pretending.

He took a deep breath, summoned up his courage slightly, and said in a serious tone, "I'll carry you
upstairs."

"What?"

Paula was stunned.

Before she could react, she was picked up.

She put her arms around Burton's neck subconsciously and looked at his profile.



Her heart was beating wildly at this moment.

Paula blushed, and she couldn't help smiling.

Unexpectedly, he was quite strong...

Ten minutes later, after Burton sent Paula home, he left without stopping.

As soon as he walked out of the apartment building, he took out the vibrating phone in his pocket.It was
August who called.He answered immediately, "Hello, Mr.Adams."

"Come to the Fifth Road.I'll wait for you there."

Burton answered without hesitation, "OK."

When Burton arrived at Fifth Road, he saw the car parked on the side of the road and got in.

August was already sitting in the back, waiting for him to drive.

"Mr.Adams, about Bishop's appearance at Weske today, I've asked Charlotte to look into it."

"Well, report to me."

"He went to Weske to meet someone today, but the identity of that person has not been found yet.He
arrived at Weske at 7:10, and he left after we left just now.He only took Bob with him the whole time."

In the dim car, August's face was unclear.

He played with the lighter in his hand and pressed it with a click, and a cluster of bright flames ignited.

The light and shadow of the flame reflected on his cheek, and he said, "Ask Charlotte to continue to
look into it, and make sure to find out the identity of the other person."



In the recent period, Bishop's unusual changes have increased.

Not only he met this unknown mysterious person but showed up to help him out this evening.He was
not doing it out of good intentions.

On the surface, Bishop seemed to be defending him.

But he was very clear that Bishop was just demonstrating against him in another way.

Gigi was Andrew Robbers's daughter, and he had such a good relationship with Gigi.

It could be seen that his relationship with Andrew was also unusual.

He knew it.

Everyone knew that it was always easier to get things done with the help of some influential friends.

So Bishop must have worked hard to hook up with the Thomas Family.

Burton, who was sitting in the driver's seat, raised his eyes, looked at August through the rear-view
mirror in the car, and asked hesitantly, "Mr.Adams, he has been making a lot of moves recently.I also
heard that he has been doing resuscitation physiotherapy for his legs, and even invited foreign
experts.Do you think we need to..."

August frowned slightly, paused for two seconds, and said lightly, "No need.Just let him."

He knew the condition of Bishop's legs.

No matter how good an expert or a therapeutic method was, he wouldn't be able to stand up any time
soon.

Besides, he didn't have to use those despicable methods to deal with Bishop.



In short, there would be plenty of time and he wanted to see what Bishop would do next.

"Oh, right."

August raised his eyes slightly and said, "The matter of Franksfurt can be put on the agenda."

Burton nodded immediately, "Yes."

Early in the morning the next day, Lucia got the good news as soon as she arrived at the company.

The quarterly bonus would be distributed to everyone today.

Looking at her cheerful colleagues in the department, Lucia was affected by the relaxed atmosphere,
and her mood became better.

It just happened that Carter would also be returning from a business trip today, so she could breathe a
sigh of relief at work.

An hour later, Lucia was sitting at her desk when she heard cheers coming from outside.

She looked up from the pile of documents, and she didn't have to think about it.

lt should be the bonus or Carter's return.She got up and walked out of the office.

As soon as she went out, she saw Carter holding a small cardboard box in her hand, talking to her
colleagues in the department.

Seeing her coming out, Emma excitedly waved at her, "Lucia, come here.Carter is going to give out the
bonus!"

Hearing this, Lucia reacted.



No wonder everyone was so happy.

It turned out that Carter and the bonus arrived at the same time.

She stepped forward quickly and greeted Carter with a smile, "Carter, I'm so glad you're back.How was
your business trip?"

When Carter saw Lucia, her smile grew even bigger, and she nodded at her, "Everything went
well.You've worked hard these days! This is your bonus."

With that, she took out an envelope with Lucia's name on it from the small cardboard box and handed it
to Lucia.

Lucia took it and gave her a sweet smile, "Thank you, Carter!"

Feeling the thickness of the envelope, Lucia was overjoyed.She had been determined to work hard to
make money since she graduated.She had kept up the habit of saving money for more than two years.

Now that she had received such a sum of money, she was so happy.

Carter nodded at her, "Don't thank me.You all deserve it."

She continued to distribute the envelopes in the cardboard box in her hand.

After doing all this, she did not forget to say something encouraging, "Everyone has worked hard these
past few months.Next, our administrative department will continue to work hard.In a few months, we
may double and triple the bonus!"

"Okay, let's work together!"

"Yes, come on!"



Her colleagues happily cheered, and the atmosphere was warm and exciting.

Carter saw that it was almost done, clapped her hands, and reminded everyone, "Since the bonus has
been distributed, then everyone will continue to work and strive for the goal!"

When everyone heard her words, they dispersed and went back to work.

Lucia was also about to go back to work when Carter suddenly stopped her, "Lucia, come to my office."

Lucia was stunned for a moment, and then quickly reacted and nodded, "Okay, Carter."

Lucia followed Carter into the office and closed the door at her signal.

There were only two of them in the room.

Lucia was a little nervous.

She looked at Carter cautiously, and asked softly, "Carter..."

Carter went straight to the point, "I asked you to come here because I've heard about what happened
during my absence these days, including the incident in the finance department"

Hearing that, Lucia was a little flustered.

Had she done something wrong? But Carter said something that surprised her, "You have performed
well these days, and your abilities are getting stronger and stronger than before."

When Lucia heard these words, she was secretly relieved.

Seeing Carter so serious just now, she thought she had done something wrong.



Carter looked at her and continued, "I just returned to the company.After receiving the bonus from the
department, I also received a notice from the leader above.Now the department has an opportunity to
study abroad.I'm planning to send you."

Lucia was a little surprised, "Going to study abroad?"

There was only one place in a department.Such a good thing happened to her?
