Chapter 247

A Hard Nut to Crack

Lucia's heart sank.

It was true.

In front of August, she didn't have the right to choose.He paid the expensive surgery fee for Bill, and
she owed him a lot of money.

Even her meager salary was from Lion Group.

Beggars can't be choosers.

When frustration was seen in her eyes, August wrinkled his brows, loosened his grip, and said blandly,
"You will get the same salary as the general secretary."

"Okay."

Lucia took a deep breath and bit the bullet.

Even if she refused, August had all the ways to make her give in.She'd better swallow her pride and
take the offer.

Ensnared, she had to accept the arrangement before there was a way out of the trap.

August turned around, strode to his desk, and concluded indifferently, "Go and pack your things.Burton
will take care of the rest."

Lucia took a deep breath, hummed in consent, and felt weak.

On her way back, she saw Emma looking to the left and right at the door.



"Lucia!"

At the sight of her, Emma rushed over and said urgently, "I went to our boss' office to deliver things just
now and heard Lisa and Carter talking about you.It was pretty tense.Did anything go wrong?"

Lucia snapped back and finally remembered her task.She had returned empty-handed once again.

What she brought back was not the file but a piece of shocking news.

To the outsiders, her sudden transfer was a promotion.

However, her colleagues in the same department would definitely gossip.She couldn't imagine their
comments before her back.Her pale face startled Emma.

"Lucia, what's wrong?"

Lucia clenched her fists.

Seconds later, she took a deep breath and calmed down.

"Nothing.I'm going to the office."

She headed to their superior's office, heard voices at the slightly open door, and went in following a
knock.

"Carter."

With a complicated look on her face, Carter was sitting at her desk.

Opposite Carter, Lisa was trying to disguise the hostility in her eyes.



Before Lucia could say anything, Carter stated, "I just received a call from the personnel
department.The general secretary's job is open, and someone on our team is selected.They
appreciated the events organized by you and appointed you to the position.What do you think?"

Lucia was surprised by August's quick actions.

The noticed had been issued before she came back.It indicated that he had set up this trap for her to
jump into.

Sadly, her opinion didn't matter.

The notice would come anyway.It was not her call.

Lucia clenched her fists, bit her lip, and replied, "I'm down with it."

"Good."

Carter nodded lightly, "You can go and pack your things."

Lucia took a deep breath.

"Okay."

The coldness on Carter's face could not be neglected.

She had worked in the administration department for two or three years, and Carter had played the role
of her mentor.

This lady had reason to be unhappy about the sudden transfer.

After a moment of hesitation, Lucia plucked up the courage and looked up.



"Ma'am, when I was in the President's Office just now, Burton told me that I would temporarily take
Mary's place till she is back from her wedding vacation.Then I'll be transferred back.Wherever I am, I
will not forget that you're my boss."

In fact, she was not sure about August's plan or if she would come back to the administration
department.

She did know the importance of having a retreat.

Sure enough, Carter's face softened.She slightly lifted her hand and said, "Go ahead."

Then she instructed the woman sitting next to her, "Lisa, go give her a hand."

Lisa looked dissatisfied but could not defy Carter.She then got up and headed out.

After closing the door, she lagged half a step behind Lucia and sneered, "To be honest, I'm impressed
by your means."

Instead of wasting her tongue, Lucia narrowed her eyes and turned a deaf ear to it.She would soon
leave the department.

It was pointless to argue with Lisa.

Lucia's silence annoyed Lisa even more.

It was known to all that she joined the company one year earlier than Lucia did, and that gave her a
higher seniority.

However, Lucia had been walking all over her.

Now she was even transferred to the President's Office and got closer to central power.



Lisa couldn't stomach her frustration whatsoever.

When they passed by the public office area, Lisa suddenly stopped in her tracks and clapped her
hands.

"Guys, may I have your attention, please? There is great news I want to share with everyone.Lucia, a
member of the administration department, got promoted to the position of general secretary.We're so
proud of her."

When the crowd heard that, they were surprised at first and then skeptical.

Some people took the chance to congratulate Lucia, but most of them looked at her with doubtful eyes.

Lucia groaned in her heart.She was just temporarily filling in Mary's position.

It was not permanent.

Lisa's words aroused suspicion.

The woman was trying to cut off her retreat.

Following a cold look at Lisa, she smiled at the crowd and explained, "It's just a temporary replacement
for Mary who is away on her wedding vacation.One month will be the duration.Actually, this opportunity
belonged to Lisa.She gave it up to me, a junior.I'm really grateful for her kindness."

While the woman was in shock, Lucia respectfully bowed to her.Lisa told a lie.

Could she not? The notice was issued by the personnel department, but Lisa told everyone that it was
a direct appointment from the CEO.

Through this, Lisa was trying to make her the target of public hatred.



She had been working in the administration department for years.

She knew her colleagues too well.

They hated anyone who was doing better, and she made such a remark to divert the brunt.

Lucia ran her eyes over the crowd and continued with a smile, "If I get rewarded for my performance, I'll
treat everyone to dinner"

The tension finally eased a little, and many people joked with her.

"I hope you'll get a big bonus, otherwise, we can't eat to our hearts’ content."

"Yeah, how about a seafood buffet?"

"Yeah..."

Lucia chuckled, "Once I get the bonus, I'll let you guys decide on what to eat."

Lisa took a fierce look at Lucia and got mixed feelings.

She was trying to give Lucia a hard time.

To her surprise, the latter not only saw through her intention but also turned the tide.

Lucia was now a tougher nut to crack.
