Chapter 404 Her soft spot

Lucia gripped her cell phone and felt uneasy.

After the thing that happened yesterday, it must be awkward for them to meet now. Lucia didn't

understand why August wanted to see her.

She took a deep breath and texted August back. “I got no time."

Soon, Lucia's phone vibrated again. "Are you sure you don't want to come?”

Lucia texted August back firmly. "No."

"Okay, I hope you won't regret it."

Seeing the last message from August, Lucia felt a little strange. She could almost imagine August's

cold and grim expression when he texted that message. And then Lucia felt a little guilty. Lucia felt

as if August would do something to her if she didn't go to see him. Lucia gritted her teeth and held

her cell phone. She didn't know what to do.

At that moment, Paul smiled gently and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Lucia turned her head and found that Paul was looking at her. Her hand holding the phone

tightened. Then she shook her head after hesitating for a moment. "Nothing. When are we leaving?"

"Pack the stuff and we'll be ready to go."

After saying that, Paul dotingly stroked Lucia’s hair around her ear. He smiled softly and continued,

"Timothy and Janet have packed their stuff. How about you?"

Seeing that, Lucia frowned and repelled Paul's sudden intimate gesture subconsciously. Then she

said softly, "I have done that, too.”

Paul didn't notice that and nodded his head. "Okay. I'll go to ask someone to bring the car over.”

Then Paul left.

Lucia looked at Paul's tall, magnificent back and felt very guilty.

Although she had known Paul for more than five years, Lucia was still not used to Paul's intimate

gesture. And she could remember clearly that she didn't have that feeling about August yesterday...

At least, Lucia didn't. repel August.

Realizing that, Lucia felt surprised and couldn't accept it for a moment.

Could it be that in her heart, August was more important than Paul?

Or was it that she was still fond of August in her heart?

All kinds of thoughts and suspicions appeared in Lucia's mind, leaving her with no way to figure it

out. Finally, when she saw Timothy and Janet, Lucia put all her worries behind her and took them

out of the stable to the West Bridge.

They arrived at the West Bridge at noon. After having lunch and taking some rest, Lucia intended to

read a book. But suddenly, she got a call from Director Brook.

Director Brook was straightforward. He asked directly, "Lucia, are you free this afternoon?"

Lucia hesitated for a moment and replied softly, "Director Brook, what's the matter?"

"During Timothy and Janet's break time, we got the photos all edited. Please come to check the final

works when you get a chance by this afternoon.”

Lucia was stunned. Then she asked softly, "What's your address?"

Director Brook gave Lucia his address. "This is the address of our studio. Just come in when Finally,

Lucia didn't refuse. She replied, "Okay, I'll be there this afternoon.”

you arrive."

Lucia took the thing about Timothy and Janet seriously. And if she could finish it early, she could

take them out. of Austos City sooner.

Thinking of that, Lucia was no longer reluctant. She went back to her bedroom to get herself

changed and prepared to go out.

Before Lucia went out, Paul asked Lucia a lot and gave her a lot of caution.

Lucia called a taxi and told the driver the address, arriving at the destination within half an hour.

Lucia told the assistant at the front desk the reason why she was there. Soon, an assistant led her to

the lift and to Director Brook's office.

The assistant led Lucia to the office door and knocked on it. Then he opened it and invited Lucia in.

Lucia nodded and said thank you to the assistant, walking in. As soon as she entered and saw the

face of the man sitting at the desk, she was stunned and stood where she was.

Why is August here?

Lucia looked around quickly and didn't see Director Brook. She was a little annoyed. "Where's

Director Brook?

Why are you here?"

The person who asked her there was Director Brook, but the person who received her was August,

which made

Lucia think that that was a trap.

August was sitting at his desk, leaning back in his chair. He looked at Lucia and said in a flat tone,

"Since you refuse to see me, I figure out a way myself.”

"How dare you..."

Lucia was angry and stared at August. she took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. Then

she asked,

"What's so important that we have to talk about it face to face?"

August sat up straight. He picked up a document and put it on the table, saying in a flat tone, "Look

at this."

Lucia hesitated for a moment, then she picked it up and read it.

After reading a few pages, Lucia frowned and asked, "What does this mean?"

It was a contract to shoot a short film. Party B was going to produce a short public service film

according to the script provided by Party A. What surprised Lucia was that she was Party B

mentioned in the contract.

August said slowly, "Just literally. The Lion Group wants you to direct and shoot the short public

service film."

Looking at August's black eyes, Lucia wanted to refuse. She put the contract back on the table and

shook her head. "I'm sorry. I don't want to do it."

Although the conditions and the payment on the contract were great, she was still unwilling to sign

it. She just wanted to finish her job soon and took Timothy and Janet leave Austos City as soon as

possible. August didn't feel surprised when he saw Lucia refuse to sign the contract. He stood up

and walked to her, whose tall body bring Lucia under a lot of pressure. He said in a deep voice, "But

you are the only one who can produce this short film.”

Lucia stepped back subconsciously and shook her head. "Sorry, I can't.”

August raised his eyebrows lightly. "Is the condition not up to your requirement?"

Lucia shook her head. "No. It was for my personal reasons."

After saying that, Lucia turned around and intended to leave. But just when she took a few steps, an awkward voice came from behind

her.

Lucia stiffened instantly and looked in the direction where the voice came from. Then she found the voice was coming from the cell

phone in August's hand.

That awkward voice awakened her memory at once. Because the voice was exactly the same one they had made last night when they

were together!

Lucia was thunderstruck and felt furious.

She stepped forward and glared at August. “What do you want to do?"

“This is one of those conditions.” August pressed pause. He pursed his lips tightly and said coldly, "After shooting the short film, I will

give this to you together.”

Lucia clenched her teeth. "What if I still refuse to shoot the short film?"

August smiled lightly. “Then I will keep it and enjoy it myself."

After finishing his words, August tured around and walked to his desk nonchalantly.

Lucia was so angry that she was trembling. Now that August had a video of her naked, he could ruin her reputation easily.

The thing that happened yesterday became her soft spot, which could ruin her whole life.
