Chapter 331

Cross The Rubicon

After a while, Lucia was out of her trance.

"Are you serious? You are the landlord of this apartment?" She asked again in disbelief to confirm it.

"Yeah."

Raising his brows, August answered inadvertently.

Lucia felt that it was hard for her to accept the fact that the apartment she had lived in for months was
his property literally...

And, she couldn't help wondering the reason why he leased his apartment to her at an unusually cheap
price.

Could it be possible that he had some ulterior motive for that? The thought struck her great and she
took a step back immediately.

"Do...do you have any ulterior motive for leasing me your apartment?" She asked him vigilantly.

August snorted at her words and got further close to her.

"Tell me, do you think you are worthy of any special intention of me?"

Are you a raving beauty? Do you have a terrific figure? Or you are richer than me?"

A volley of questions from him choked her words for a long time.

Speech after a long silence.

"If so, why you ..."



Lucia spoke passionately.

"Just because I was ashamed and uneasy of myself.It was just a little favor, you don't have to take it
seriously."

August, saying, laid a glance at her swiftly.

With a complete somersault of her heart, Lucia tasted the bitterness in his words when she got his
words straight.

he meant referred to when they had just gotten divorced.

Lucia breathed deeply in order to hold the negative emotion hanging in her mind back.

"How...how did you get hurt?"

She made an attempt to disguise her unease by changing the topic.

"Why did you come to my home again?"

"Never mind, I'm fine with it." Said August with studied understatement while he was clearing away the
bloody bandage.

"And the reason why I came here today was that grandma was at home, I don't want her to be worried
about me."

"But why you don't go to the hospital?"

Lucia blurted out.

After speaking, she realized that her question was too blunt to be polite.



Before she could say more, August, moving his lips and lifting his eyebrows, said with a smile flickering
on the corner of his mouth, "I'm the owner of the apartment, so it is acceptable for me to come here in
an emergency, right?"

His excuse left Lucia dumbfounded, which made her find no words to retort him.He was right, she could
not rouse the landlord out when he was injured.

While Lucia was still sinking in thought, August made it straight toward her bedroom.

When she came to her sense, he had already been in the doorway of her bedroom and was about to
enter.

"Wait!"

She stopped him hurriedly.

"What are you gonna do in my bedroom?"

None of the landlords was allowed to enter the bedroom of the tenant without permission! However,
August simply ignored her cry of anger and opened the door anyway.

"What's the matter with you?!"

Lucia pounced on him and gripped his wrist.She gazed at him in disbelief.

"Are you going to break into a woman's bedroom?"

August hooked his lips.

"Maybe you are glad to see me naked."



And he even raised his bare left arm as he said.His shirt was in shatters now because she had torn it
apart so that she could treat his wound easily.He now looked funny for he was actually in rags.

Hesitating for seconds, Lucia added again, "But I don't have any clothes to fit you."

If he was going to leave her no choice and willing to dress like a woman, then so be it.

Against her expectation, August wore a smile surprisingly with her brows raising.

"Who told you so?"

When she was still in a daze, August had already entered her bedroom.

He opened the closet naturally and took out a men's shirt from a secret compartment in the closet.

The shirt was brand new even with the price tag on it.

Lucia stared at him again, unable to believe what she saw.

"How...how could you...?" She said in broken accents.

"I have told you.This is my apartment.So, it's logical for my belongings to be here."

August answered as a matter of course.

Then, he lifted her right hand to unbutton his shirt as he said.

"So, are you gonna see my naked body?"

He looked up at her with a meaningful smile.

Hearing his words, Lucia felt her cheeks flush red instantly.



Turning around, she walked out of the bedroom quickly and slammed the door shut behind her.Her
cheeks still burned with embarrassment even after she was out of the bedroom.

Soon, the door was opened and August walked out of the room.He had put on the new shirt, looking
clean and neat without any sign of mess.

Catching sight of him, Lucia affected a calmness she did not feel.She planned to ask him when he was
going to leave her home.

However, August beat her to speak, "Why did you pack your suitcase? Where are you gonna go?"

She got nervous at his words.

Following his gaze, she could see her suitcase lying beside her bed and there was a stack of folded
clothes on the bed.She didn't know how to explain it to him.She was packing her luggage this morning,
after all, two days of the three days they had agreed had passed, and it was time to pack her suitcase.

But she didn't expect that August would come here surprisingly...

Lucia was having her heart in her boots.

Suddenly, a perfect excuse flashed through her mind.

Heaving deeply, she pretended that nothing had happened and said studied calmness, "Nothing
special, my father is about to be discharged from the hospital.I'm going to go home for several days to
look after him."

Her words convinced August and dissipated the doubts haunting him.He then gave a little cough to
attract her attention, "I've been very busy recently, but I'll go to visit Mr.Mitchell a few days later."

Lucia nodded her acknowledgment though there was a hint of hesitation crossing her mind as he said.



At this moment, August's phone rang abruptly.He pulled his phone out of his shirt pocket, glanced at
the screen, and put it back without answering.

Then, he swiveled around to take his suit jacket and said to Lucia, "It's getting late, I gotta go."

She almost couldn't conceal her relief when she heard that.

"Ok, I'll see you off."

Saying that she walked quickly toward the door and opened it for him.

August followed toward the door.

Before he stepped out the threshold, he suddenly halted and looked back at her as if he had got
something more to say to her.

In the end, he opened his mouth.

"Lucia, if you really don't want to work in my company, I'll let you go as long as you sign the
endorsement contract with Jonathan Black successfully, or I could arrange other work you like for you."

Lucia was shocked a little bit by his words.

"Well, I see, thank you."

Her face lit up with a smile.

Witnessing August step away, Lucia closed the door and heaved a sigh of relief.

It turned out that August had known that she didn't want to work at Lion Group, However, he didn't
know that what she really wanted was leaving Austos City forever...



A mood of melancholy descended on her as she thought.

At last, it was the unfinished contract that jolted her out of sentiment.

Tomorrow was the deadline for signing the contract with Jonathan Black! She should even not think
about leaving if she couldn't carry it through on time! I Nol! She has to achieve it! She has to find a way
to make Jonathan Black sign the contract! But, how?! Suddenly, a face struck Lucia and an idea came
to her mind.

Her eyes were shining as she made a call.

There was no going back! Tomorrow she will cross the Rubicon and get the contract signed!
