Submit to the Boss He Rules the Boardroom and the Bedroom novel Chapter 7

Chapter 007

Five minutes passed. All of a sudden, Lucia felt hot all over her body. She began to take off her sun-protection clothes. But after taking it off, Lucia felt even hotter, her mouth parching and her tongue scorching. The heat seemed to come from her body instead of the outside, which made her uncomfortable.

"How strange, Lydia, does the air conditioning here fail to work?" Lucia asked.

'Really? I don't think so!" Lydia shrugged with a sneer in her eyes. The scornful look caused Lucia's heart to

twitch, but she didn't think too much and thought it was an illusion out of her uncomfort.

After sitting for a while, Lucia felt more and more uncomfortable and couldn't bear it anymore, so she said to Lydia, "Lydia, I don't feel well. I'd better leave now."

As she spoke, Lucia stood up and was about to leave. But before she could stay still, her legs became weak and she fell into the chair again. At this moment, she felt hot and feeble.

Lucia, you have a fever, don't you?" Lydia said, pretending to be surprised and worried. Reminded by this, Lucia felt as if she had caught a cold and had a fever. "Well, Lucia, I'll get you a room so you can have a good rest. I will ask for a leave for you in the company."

Not giving Lucia any chance to think, Lydia forcefully lifted Lucia and walked towards the room. At this moment, Lucia's whole body was weak. She could only let Lydia drag her along, but her consciousness was still somewhat clear, "Lydia, no need. I'll be fine by taking some medicine. There's no need to stay here."

Pretending not to hear Lucia's words, Lydia dragged Lucia into the elevator, and then pressed the number 18. The after effects of the medicine became stronger. Lucia felt that she saw everything with double vision. But she insisted, "Lydia, no, thanks. I'll be fine after taking some medicine."

Just then, Lydia's phone rang. Lydia glanced at Lucia, who was leaning against her, and answered the phone directly. Before the man on the other end of the line spoke, she said conceitedly, "It's done. What about you?" Mr. Wright should be on the way now. You can just drop her in her room later. That's OK." The man said.

Fine," Lydia replied with a simple answer.

After a few simple words, the elevator door opened. Although she had lost consciousness, Lucia vaguely understood Lydia's vicious intention when she heard the phone. She held on to the elevator door tightly. unwilling to go with Lydia anymore.

Oh, Lucia, it's too late now." At this moment, Lydia didn't mind exposing herself for what she was. Her cold smile sent a chill down Lucia's spine. She bit her lips and questioned feebly. "I've always treated you like a sister, why lid you ...?"

Before Lucia could finish her question, she fainted and fell to the ground. Looking at the unconscious Lucia, Lydia jeered. She kicked at Lucia belly to make sure Lucia would not wake up again. It was only after that she dragged Lucia into Room 1807, where they had installed cameras beforehand. Then Lydia threw Lucia onto the ed. Why? You offended my cousin!" Lydia explained to the unconscious Lucia with her hands on her hips.

She took out the phone she had gotten from Lucia, and just in time, Lucia's cell phone rang. It read "Harris". The iudden call startled Lydia. In a panic, she threw the phone into the toilet bowl. After a few seconds of ringing. the phone blacked out after being watered. Then Lydia turned back and took off Lucia's ring. She looked at it and put it on her finger happily, "After today. this ring will be useless to you, so you may as well give it to me!" Glancing at Lucia who was now unconscious on the bed, Lydia sneered again, raising her eyebrows, and walked out of the room complacently. Under such circumstances, even if she has wings, Lucia might not be able to escape. But who is to blame? It is she who offends my badass cousin. Lydia thought. After passing through the corridor, Lydia took the elevator to the hall. From afar, she saw a fat man with a big belly heading toward this direction. It was not until he approached that the man raised his head. The two exchanged glances and knew what would happen next.

Chapter 007

c. + 10 When she passed by the man, Lydia was secretly delighted. She had delivered the female lead, and the male

lead was in place as well. Now she could get the reward from her cousin. In a good mood, she raised her left hand and looked at the silvery ring on it. She walked out gleefully and didn't notice the two people coming toward her at all.

"President, Ms. Mitchell's phone still can't be connected." Burton followed August and reported truthfully.

August's eyes were slightly darkened, but the expression on his face did not change, "Keep calling."

It was he who had arranged Lucia's promotion. Having heard some gossip in the company from Burton, he wondered if she didn't answer the phone because of it. As he felt upset about Lucia's whereabouts, ready to command Burton, he turned his head and saw the woman passing by, on whose left hand was the custom-

made engagement ring that he had picked. He knew it well enough that there was no way he could be mistaken.

August stopped abruptly, turned around without hesitation, and demanded, "Stop."

Hearing this, Lydia turned around in astonishment. When she saw the man's face, she was even more surprised.

"President... Adams?"

Although she was just an intern in the company, she had a thorough understanding of the president's

information, from his age to his preferences. Although she hadn't seen August personally, she had seen him in photos. She had never thought that she would see him here today!

Lydia couldn't hide her delight. She turned around and said, "President, you..." Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by the man's cold voice, "Where did you get the ring?" Glancing at the ring on her finger, Lydia was flustered. She immediately shrank her left hand and faltered, "I... I bought it

myself."

As she said, she looked up to see August's cold eyes. For some reason, the man's eyes seemed to be able to see through her. His glance sent shivers down her back.

"Really?" All of a sudden, August stepped forward, with a terrifying force all over her body. Lydia stepped back

unconsciously, lowered her head, and murmured, "Yes..."

August saw the subtle expression on Lydia's face and felt uneasy. He had told Lucia not to take off the ring no matter when. Now the ring was in someone else's hand, which only meant that something had happened to

her!

August's face turned gloomy. He asked coldly, "where is Lucia?" Hearing the name, Lydia' felt that her face turned pale. She shook her head abruptly. "I... I don't know...",

August's eyes darkened. Burton, who was standing next to him, understood what he meant. He immediately

turned around and walked towards Lydia with two strong bodyguards, blocking her way from escaping.

Lydia had never seen such a scene before. She was scared out of her wits. She looked at August in panic and stammered, "... I admit. I had dinner with Lucia just now and she was not feeling well, so I sent her to Room 1807..."

As soon as August heard the room number, his face twisted. Without hesitation, he went straight to the

elevator. He knew very well that rooms from the eighteenth to twentieth floor were lover suites. If what Lydia had said was the truth, why didn't she book an ordinary suite? He could not be more aware of what was meant behind Lydia's words.

When he thought of the night when Bill Mitchell handed over Lucia's hand to him, August felt a fire rising from

the bottom of his heart. It was difficult to suppress the feeling. Although he hadn't known Lucia for a long time, he knew clearly that this woman was as innocent as a piece of white paper. If she suffered losses and got hurt, how should he explain it to his professor? In Suite 1807. Suddenly, Lucia felt a sense of chilliness, which made her sober up to some extent. She slowly opened her eyes. Before she could wipe off the water on her face, she saw a man's figure.
