Submit to the Boss He Rules the Boardroom and the Bedroom novel Chapter 14

Chapter 014

Most of those here were offspring of the powerful or wealthy, whose families had some power. However, in front

of August, they still didn't dare to say one more word. Seeing Lucia refusing to speak, August reached out and took her into his arms, saying coldly, "Let's go, I'll take you back."

Seeing that August was about to take Lucia away, Barry hurriedly said, "August, we're all friends, and it's just a misunderstanding. How could we bully her?"

August stopped suddenly, turned around, and glanced at them. Finally, he gazed directly at Rose, and then Rose lowered her head timorously.

"Bullying my person? You had better never do it again!"

After saying that in a cold voice, August took Lucia's arm and went straight out of the box.

Having several glasses of wine, Lucia already felt her stomach was burning. After hearing what August said,

she felt her whole body was somehow on fire.

Walking out of the room and through the corridor, August still looked sullen. He loosened his grip and walked

quickly. Obviously, he was a little angry.

Lucia walked faster to keep up with him. But unexpectedly, a little unsteady on her feet, she stumbled and fell

directly towards him.

August frowned, reached out to hold her steady, and asked in a deep voice, "Why didn't you tell me they've bullied you?"

Lucia said softly, "I... I was afraid it would interfere with your talk."

"Lucia,' August stared at her and said seriously, "in any case, you can't let people bully you at will. Even if you're bullied, you have to know how to fight back, okay?" Lucia bit her lip, steeled herself, and nodded, "I know."

Since childhood, she had seemed to be too cowardly. Even when Archibald cheated on her and cursed her with Carol, she didn't dare to talk back. Now she had been much stronger than before, but it seemed not enough ...............................

August lowered his head, looking at the woman with red cheeks after drinking too much. He couldn't reproach her coldly as he intended to. Watching Lucia even couldn't stand still, he sighed lightly, stooping down to pick her up and walking towards the car on the roadside.

At the door of the club, Rose stood by the pillar, staring straight over. She was so angry that unconsciously

clenched her fists.

She had been in love with August for two years. In the past two years, she had tried her best to make August notice her, and she didn't expect that a woman would suddenly appear and become the one accompanying August. How could she pretend to be not angry?

Watching August carrying Lucia to the car, Rose gritted her teeth and called somebody, "Hello? Help me to

check a person ....... "

By the time Burton drove August and Lucia to the villa, it was getting late.

As soon as August entered with Lucia in his arms, he saw Turner waiting in the living room anxiously. August carried Lucia straight towards the second floor, "She's drunk. Turner, please get a cup of tea to sober her up."

"Okay, I'm on my way."

Carrying Lucia back to the bedroom, August just put her on the bed and was about to straighten up when she

wrapped her arms around his neck.

Lying on the bed, Lucia looked at him with her eyes nearly shut, "Don't leave."

August froze for a moment and reached out to pull her hand away. I'm not leaving." "August..."

Chapter 014

+ 10 Her eyes wandering and her voice weak, August couldn't tell whether she was drunk or not, but the hand around

his neck just wouldn't let go.

August had no choice but to stay in that position, "Well, what is it?"

Lucia muttered, "Today... Thank you for coming over to accompany my dad for his birthday "

With that, she suddenly giggled, "Thank you .......... ". Immediately after that, she

raised her chin and kissed August.

August was stunned and felt like his face was on fire, tingling constantly

He frowned, anger arising in his heart.

This is the first time he has been kissed in this way. Is this considered a forced kiss?

Wrapping her arms around him, Lucia giggled again. She was completely unconscious. It seemed that she was really drunk.

Looking at her like this, the anger in August's heart dissipated unconsciously. With resignation, he pulled Lucia's hands away and tuck her in.

"Have a good rest."

Lucia reached out and grabbed his hand, pleading like a rogue, "You stay here with me "

August frowned and had no idea what to do for a while. He didn't expect Lucia to be like this when she was

drunk

Turner happened to see this when she came over to deliver the tea. She couldn't help but smile, "Sir, Lucia relies on you. At this time, it's better for you to stay with her."

August looked down at the woman on the bed and the thought to leave suddenly disappeared.

Ultimately, he should be held accountable for her being bullied. Now, he couldn't leave her alone.

"Sir, shall I feed Lucia the tea?" August hesitated for a second and whispered, "No, I'll feed her."

Hearing that, Turner smiled secretly and nodded, and then quietly left the room.

August reached out and gently patted her cheek, "Get up and drink your tea."

Lucia was too drunk. She frowned and turned her head directly, ignoring the tea completely.

It was impossible to let her get up and drink the tea herself. August pulled his hand out of her hand, picked up the cup, and fed it to her mouth with a spoon.

Lucia smelled the scent and frowned. She just wouldn't open her mouth.

"Are you sure you don't want to drink the tea?" August's eyebrows throbbed. He had never persuaded anyone like

this. If it were someone else, he would have run out of patience. However, Lucia made it different.

Seemingly startled by his sudden seriousness, Lucia shook her head, opened her eyes slightly, and said softly, "I'll drink ................... "

By August's threats and entreaties, Lucia drank most of the tea. Finally, she couldn't resist sleepiness and fell

asleep.

Lucia was fast asleep. August glanced at her and breathed deeply with relief. He quietly withdrew from the

room and closed the door.

Just as he wanted to go back to the bedroom beside him and rest, the phone suddenly rang at this time, "Sir,

she just has a nightmare and desperately wants to see you." Hearing this, August suddenly tightened his hand holding the phone. He frowned, and without hesitation, immediately spoke, "I'm going there now!"

Hanging up the phone, he didn't say a word, grabbed his jacket, and hurried out. Finally, he disappeared in the sinking twilight

Chapter 014

+10 The next day. Lucia turned over and opened her eyes as the sunshine shone into the room. Her head was heavy and a little painful. She raised her hand, rubbed her temples, and sat up. Trying to recall what happened yesterday, she suddenly couldn't remember anything. It seemed that last night she was really drunk! Lucia sighed and got up to walk to the bathroom. Going out of the bathroom, Lucia paced to the first floor, just as Turner had breakfast ready. "Ma'am, breakfast is ready." Looking around, Lucia didn't see August, so asked, "Where is August?" "Sir left last night. It seemed that he needed to handle something in a hurry." Turner came over and pulled Lucia towards the table, "It's normal for sir, such a figure, to be busy, but I can see that he cares much about you. He was the one who took care of you when you were drunk yesterday..." "Huh?" Lucia was surprised, "he took care of me?" She had also been drunk before for several times. Her friends said that she wasn't good at drinking and couldn't stop being mad when she got drunk. So she worried that she had done something improper last night. Thinking about this, Lucia immediately had a panic fear and felt cold even on her back. If she was mad after drinking too much in front of Ms. Mitchell or her friends, it would be fine, but in front of August, she really dared not to imagine the scene.

"I haven't seen sir being so careful of anyone!" Turner didn't notice the change in Lucia's face and smilingly pulled her to sit down at the dining table. Lucia's cheeks reddened, not sure if it was out of shame or shyness. Eventually, she smiled and didn't answer, starting to eat the porridge. "By the way, ma'am, do you have any plans for today?" Hearing this, Lucia stopped with a sudden pause.

As she planned yesterday, if nothing happened, she would go back to work today. Several days had passed from the day of the accident to now, and the wound on her neck had almost healed. Besides, she had nothing but boredom staying alone at home. It was better to go back to work. Lucia smiled at Turner, "I'm planning to go back to work today." Even now she had married August officially, she knew very well that she couldn't rely on August for the rest of her life.

After breakfast, Lucia simply packed up and immediately went to the office. Just as she arrived at the office area of her department, some colleagues saw her with some indefinable

complexity.

Lucia tightened her lips. She was just promoted a few days ago, and then she didn't come to work for days in a row. So her colleagues in the department must have been suspicious.
