Chapter 365

Chapter 365Chapter 365 I Am Your Boss Before Timothy and Janet knew it, they had played for the entire
afternoon.
They all absorbed themselves into the fun of the wildlife park.
They played with monkeys, touched elephants’ skins, and even stroked a python.
The animals were at first scared of the kids, but, after the afternoon, they got along better.
Kids were so innocent that they could easily accept other beings.
Lucia could feel their changes and felt gratified from the bottom of her heart.
She was right about the shooting job.
At least, in this way, she could teach the kids to love and respect wildlife.
It was a precious lesson from nature.
Before the end of the day's work, the director asked the kids how they felt and communicated with
them about the shooting plan for the next day.
Lucia sat aside and took a rare relaxation from taking care of both the kids.
At this moment, a black car drove over slowly and stopped right outside the shooting site.
Then, the door opened and a tall figure came out of it.
Lucia didn't notice the car as she kept her eyes on her children all the time.
She didn't turn to the car until the director abruptly stood up and walked outside.When she saw the man standing in front of the car, she was stunned and dumbfounded.
Am I hallucinating? How come August is here? She gave a gasp and hurriedly sat straight.
She rubbed her eyes and again shot her gaze in the same direction.
As if by telepathic reaction, August also turned to look at her at the same time.
When their eyes met, it was as if a spark had been ignited.
Lucia was so shocked that she even held her breath.
She hurriedly flinched away from him, and unwittingly clenched her hands.
What on earth is going on? After she returned Austos City, she could run into August so frequently.
If their meeting the day before could be called a coincidence, it would be too weird that she should
meet him again at work! Suddenly, the director turned to her and called her.
"Lucia, come over please."
Lucia took a deep breath and suppressed the anxiety and doubts in her heart.
She stood up and walked towards them with pretended composure.
The director coughed twice and began introducing, "President Adams, this is Lucia, the mother of our
two little models.
She is a director..."
Before the director could finish, August had already turned to Lucia.
He narrowed his eyes in a half-smile."I know"
The director was stunned.
"You...
novelbinknow each other?"
August cast the director a glance and said indifferently, "I can talk to her myself."
Hearing this, the director was embarrassed.
He rubbed his nose to ease his awkwardness and said, "Well, I'll leave you two alone..."
Then, he left.
After the director went away, Lucia looked up at August and felt annoyed.
"August, what on earth do you want?"
She might as well believe that pigs could fly than believe that it is another coincidence.
August raised his chin slightly and said, "You seemed to be ignorant of the fact that I ordered the
shooting of the commercials.
In some senses, I am your boss."
Hearing this, Lucia sneered, "You think I would believe that?"
He just came along and claimed that he was her boss.
The Devil may care! "Don't believe me?"August didn't hesitate to prove himself.
He cast the director a glance and said lightly, "What do you think the director was doing with me?"
Lucia was rendered wordless by his question.
His words were true.
If he was nobody, the director wouldn't welcome and greet him in person.
Could it be that August is the big boss mentioned by Elijah? After she realized the fact, Lucia's heart
skipped a beat.
In disbelief, she took a step back and panicked.
"You...
how could it be you?"
She tried so hard to avoid him, and, in the end, she should be working for him! August wasn't surprised
at her reaction.
He pressed his lips and then said, "I came to tell you in person that I don't agree with your proposal to
speed up the progress."
Before Lucia knew it, August had been talking seriously, "To me, quality always comes in the first place.
I don't need speed.
I need quality.
More than that, I will personally check the samples before you could proceed with shooting."August's words made Lucia's face paler.
"You..."
They never mentioned a thing about sample checks.
His arrival not only brought his refusal to her proposal but also brought an additional term.
How could she just give in to such a bully? "August, don't you think you're going too far?"
August raised his brows, and answered indifferently, "Am I? Lucia Mitchell, I think you've been abroad
for too long that you begin forgetting the working procedures in our nation."
Then, he cast Lucia one last glance and then got in his car.
His devil-may-care attitude made Lucia extremely angry.
She gritted her teeth and stopped him from closing the door.
"August Adams, we need to make it straight!"
If she had known that August was the biggest sponsor of this shooting, she would die rather than
accept this job for her kids.
Lucia was so agitated that she stumbled.
She wanted to reason with him, but, instead, she lost her balance and fell on August.
"Bang!"
Lucia's head hit the man's strong chest.She felt so painful that she frowned.
Before she realized what had happened, she had been supported by a pair of big hands.
Before she could keep her feet, she heard the man's laughter.
"Lucia, you don't have to approach me with a such clumsy trick."
Hearing this, Lucia blushed.
She was embarrassed and also annoyed.
She took a step back and regained her footing.
She retorted, "That's nonsense, August Adams!"
August showed a desire to tease this little woman.
He smiled and said, "Oh? But everyone around saw it.
You took the initiative to fall on me."
His words made Lucia more embarrassed.
After taking a deep breath, she gritted her teeth and pointed at the man.
"August! You..."
Before she could finish speaking, August grasped her index finger that was pointing at him.
His warm palm wrapped her finger.
The warmth was like electricity, giving her a sudden shock and making her numb.Before she could react, August had taken out a spiky headdress flower and wore it to her index finger.
Lucia was completely confused.
What is it? Some trick to pick up girls or prank to humiliate me? August raised the corner of his lips at
the sight of her daze.
He explained, "It's Janet's.
She left it to me yesterday.
I brought it for her."
Lucia fixed her eyes on the headdress flower and made sure that it was the one that belonged to Janet.
However, for some reason, her heart was pounding fast, cheek was rosy in abashment.
She couldn't control herself.
Was she beguiled by August?
