Blunt words came out of his mouth just like that. Lucia was ashamed and annoyed, along with

aroused.

She panted roughly, "You are shameless!" ®

Upon her flustered look, August deliberately pressed toward her body, making their bodies closer.

He

looked down at her. "Your body is honest.” With that, his finger went one inch deeper. Lucia's eyes

widened and she couldn't suppress her moan. In an instant, her face

Go!" ®

Being treated like this, she felt like she was being roasted on the fire. With no way kicking, for

August, it was like a

cat's scratching, which brought a hot urge down to the lower part of his body.'® face, which'®

was red with anger, and leaned in without saying a word."

The dense kisses fell, brushing her cheeks, blocking her lips, turning all her complaints into moans.

The temperature in the office was getting warmer and warmer. action... After a long time, when all

the impulses faded, Lucia's body went soft, leaning in front of the table," was

ago. The man on the side casually picked up the documents scattered on the ground and put them

back on the table. A black suit outlined his perfect figure, except for the pair of milder black eyes,

there was nothing different about him. Seeing the embarrassed little woman with flushed cheeks,

August spoke in a hoarse voice, "I'll make a’

phone call and send you home later.” At this time, he should give her some personal space. After

giving her a deep look, he added, "I'll wait for you outside.”

Then, stepped out of the office. The moment the door gently closed, Lucia breathed a looked like he

was going to eat her up. She bit her lip rather shamefacedly and to the door. After what had

happened just now, she was embarrassed to face

August.

How good would it be if she could find a crack in the ground to hide, or just run away now? This

thought’ ®

flashed through her mind. She took a deep breath and slowly pulled the door open.

August was standing not far away, on the phone, his back facing her.'®

Lucia bit her lip, hesitated only for a moment, then immediately turned around and ran quickly in

the other

direction. She would rather go home alone than with August. At this moment, August was listening

to the report on the other end of the phone, his face dark. He wrinkled his eyebrows, and

questioned, "Such a foolproof plan, and he still gets away?" The person on the other end replied

something, and he answered with a gloomy face as a trace of impatience swept under his eyes,

"That's it." ®

Putting away his cell phone, he was irritated. Now the board of directors and shareholders were

pressing'®

hard, demanding an inventory of the subsidiary's accounts, but Ted Stebbing, slippery like a loach,

was"

beyond his grasp. He had escaped several times.

His eyebrows wrinkled, put away the phone and turned around. When he noticed the half-closed

office’ ®

door, unease swept across his heart. He walked over in three steps, only to find an empty room, his

face

sank.

Looking around, he did not find a trace of the woman. She actually ran away! He had said he was

just'®

sending her home, what else did she think he would do? The irritation in his heart deepened.

August’

pursed his lips and left quickly. Sooner or later, he would make this stubborn little woman not even

have the courage to leave him."

On the other side, Lucia ran out of the company, panting, stopped a car and got in. When the driver

saw

her panicked look, he looked out the window and kindly asked, "Girl, what's wrong? Being

harassed?" ®

Lucia hesitated for a moment, and eventually nodded, "Please, drive fast."

"Got it. Sit tight!" With justice bursting in his mind, the driver answered as he floored the petal and

started

the car. As the entrance of the company grew smaller and smaller in the rearview mirror, Lucia's

hanging heart finaly landed back in her chest ® had just'®

happened. She had not known she would have with August in that situation. After returning to her senses, she remembered Jeanne, who had delivered her soup

today, and then a wave of guilt overcame

ner heart

She had thought that August was sorry enough for Jeanne, and naw, she herself had become one of the accomplices. Her two hands were twisted together, her

heart was filed with al kinds of emotions, and

she was angry and regretful bout her own behaviors. Finally, the car arrived in the neighborhood. Lucia paid and got down of the car, lost in thought. She had

determined that she would keep her distance from August and not be entangled vith him ever again.

In the middle of the night, she tossed and turned in bed. Her discipline of staying away from August kept ringing in her head like a dogma Perhaps, for August,

she was no different from Adeline and other women-They were all his toys that he could vent his desire on regardless of the occasion. She couldn't tolerate

herself being such 2 woman.

The more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she became, and in the end, she actualy lost sleep. The price of insomnia was tardiness. The next

morning, Lucia hurried to the company and signed in at the last second. Her state had been down, but once she thought of her father, who was til lying in bed

preparing for surgery, had passed. Lucia was buried in her work and did not realize that her stomach was growling. Until the door was knocked on, followed by

Emma poking her head in and winking at her, “Luci, time for a meal!” Lucia looked up at the time, only then did she realize that she had alreacly been off work

for mre than'® twenty minutes.
