Without thinking much, she immediately picked up her phone to read the message.
"I’ll meet you for something in the underground garage at 6 p.m.today."
It was a simple might mean something about the birthday of Old Mr.Greeves or that he already had a
Putting down her phone, Lucia suddenly felt much more relieved.
If they started making a move, it wouldn’t take long to clear her name and set her free. After a break at
noon, it was time to get back to work in the afternoon.
Lucia was a "Really? Do you have a picture? Please share it!" away.
Soon, a picture was really posted.
Although it was blurred, she could still tell that the man and the woman in the picture were a perfect
match. Lucia looked at the two in the picture.
For some reason, she had a lump in her throat, feeling a bit upset. Lucia dropped the phone in her
hand, picked up her glass and went to the pantry area for water.
It happened that two female colleagues were standing there, having tea and chatting.
After greeting them briefly, Lucia started to boil water and make tea by herself.
"Why, it’s the first time that we have seen Mr.Adams with a woman around him!"
"I know.I heard that Miss Kelly is still in his office.It seems that they are quite close."
As their voices came into her ears, Lucia gritted her teeth and felt inexplicably upset. "Come here,
Lucia." Before she reached the door of her office, Lucia was stopped by Carter.
"Okay." Lucia put down her glass and followed Carter into the Supervisor’s Office.
"What is it, Carter?" Carter raised her hand and handed over a document.
"Take this document to the President’s Office and have Mr.Adams sign it." Lucia paused as she
reached out her hand.
A trace of reluctance crossed her face. it back to me after he signs it" Lucia took a deep breath.
"Okay."Lucia turned around and came out of the Supervisor’s Office.She felt that what she was holding
was like a hot potato, but she couldn’t throw it away, so she was in a dilemma If she went to August
with the However, Carter On wanted the signed document as soon as possible.
She looked around, trying to get someone to do it for her and find that in the department, the only one
who could do it for her was Lisa.
However, Lisa was so close to Irene now.
She was sure that Lisa wouldn’t help her. Lucia thought about it over and again, but she couldn’t find a
good solution, so she took a deep breath and went to the President’s Office with the document.
At this point, she had no choice but to go ahead. Outside the President’s Office, Lucia saw Irene
standing at the door with Mary from a distance.
The two of them were talking about something in a low voice, Irene was smiling, but when she looked
up and saw Lucia, the smile froze on her face.
Glancing at the document in Lucia’s hand, she said nothing and proudly turned her head away, not TA
stopping Lucia Taking a deep breath, Lucia bit her lip, stepped forward and raised her hand to knock on
the door.
"Come in." Hearing the voice inside, Lucia gathered all her courage to open the door and get in. As
soon as the door was opened, she saw August sitting at his desk and Jeanne sitting quietly next to him
in a small chair. She took a deep breath, walked up and handed over the document, saying with her
eyes downcast, "Mr. Adams, this document needs your signature."
August glanced at her indifferently.
Without any extra sign of emotion on his face, he reached out to take the document and began to flip
through it, while Jeanne next to him was much more interested in Lucia Now Jeanne looked far better
than she had in the hospital.
With pink cheeks and lips, she was wearing a long beige dress and had an outstanding temperament,
Sweet and easy-going as she looked, her slanted eyes showed that she was somewhat proud, not
overbearing, but full of confidence Pretty, educated and wealthy She lowered her eyes slightly, hoping
that August could sign the document as soon as possible so that she could leave quickly. Jeanne sized
Lucia up.
Finally, her eyes came to rest on Lucia’s badge.
When she saw the name on it, the look in her eyes turned sullen instantly and her face twisted slightly
It was her! Jeanne bit her lip Her face gradually returned to normal, the corners of her lips turned
upward in a faint smile, and her voice was clear when she called Lucia by name "Lucia" At the sound of
Jeanne’s voice, Lucia’s back suddenly tensed.
When Lucia looked up, Jeanne was already smiling and looking at August next to her "So it was her,
August?" August was flipping through the document.
Hearing that he paused and turned to Jeanne.
"What?"
Lucia was extremely nervous.
Did what Jeanne said mean that August had talked about her with Jeanne? Or did Jeanne know about
her relationship with August? How could that be? Jeanne smiled innocently and winked at August,
saying.
"Last time, I heard her voice over the phone and misunderstood your relationship." Only when Lucia
heard that did she breathe a sigh of relief.
It turned out that Jeanne was talking about what had happened back then.
Something flickered in August’s eyes, but finally, he replied lightly, "Yeah, it was her."
Jeanne smiled, turned to Lucia and said softly, "I’m sorry for what happened last time.August has
already explained it to me.I shouldn’t have misunderstood your relationship." Lucia was confused.
Not knowing what was going on, she had to respond and nodded at Jeanne.
Just as she was lost in thought, August handed over the document.
"It’s done."Lucia snapped out of it.She hastily took the document and turned around to walk out Within
a couple of steps, she heard Jeanne’s voice coming from behind her. I’ll stay with you in the office this
afternoon, August.I won’t cause any trouble."
"No, you’re still recovering.Get some rest."
"No, I just want to stay with you!" Out of the office, Lucia closed the door behind her and she couldn’t
hear the voices inside anymore.
She took a deep breath.
Her mind was in turmoil.
She had always felt that August was a god-like figure beyond the reach of ordinary people, and never
He was gentle, patient, and considerate...
only to Jeanne alone. Back then, when she was with him at the villa of the Adams family, he was nice
to her, but there was nothing but cold attention and polite inquiries. Her lips curled in a bitter smile.
Lucia held the document tightly and quickened her pace to leave The way August and Jeanne were
together just now lingered in her mind.
They were a sat together without talking or looking at each other. They were in true love with each
other, and she was a chance comer at best when she showed up in August’s life a chance comer at
best when she showed up in August’s life
