Chapter 077

Lucia immediately turned her head, but the moment when she avoided looking at him, she was a

little worried.

Did he catch her peeking at him? She bit her lip and forced herself to concentrate on the minutes of

the meeting,

August found Lucia a little flustered, ears slightly red and a few seconds later, he faintly smiled

crookedly.

Finally, the meeting ended successfully, and both sides were happy. As it was almost time for dinner,

the representatives

from both sides naturally had to have a meal together. Only after the crowd left did Lucia leave the

conference room along with the secretaries, Looking at the people walking away. she secretly

breathed a sigh of relief.

Luckily, she had just completed her task successfully in the conference room.

After walking a few steps and seeing Lisa walking not far ahead, Lucia suddenly thought of her

sudden fall in the conference room just now.

At that time, she was in a hurry and did not watch her step, but she found no obstacle on the

ground when she stood up to pick up the file afterward. She also remembered that Lisa was right

behind her when she walked in with the documents in her arms. It was also very likely that Lisa

would have tripped her up at that time while everyone was still not seated.

After all, she was the only one around her at that time.

Lucia took a deep breath and opened her mouth to call out to her, "Lisa, wait a minute.” Hearing

Lucia called her, Lisa stopped her steps, turned her head, and said coldly, "What is it?" Looking more

somber, Lucia took a few steps closer and said, "If I remember correctly, you were right next to me

when I fell just now..."

Not waiting for Lucia to finish her sentence, Lisa spoke up and interrupted her directly, "Do you

think I tripped you up? Lucia, don't just accuse people wrongly.” Hearing her say that, Lucia looked

more somber, "I haven't even said anything yet.

I just wanted to ask why you didn't help me

just now, but you say that. Is it true that you tripped me?" Once she heard these words, Lisa's face

suddenly turned pale. Then she raised her voice and said, "Don't you talk nonsense!" Lucia said

word for word, "You know best whether I'm talking nonsense or not. This time you will be spared.

Next time

something like this happens again, I will not let you off." Before, she always tolerated everything,

thinking the less trouble the better. But now it seemed that showing weakness sometimes not only

would not get sympathy but also let the bullies get even more aggressive. She was now slowly

getting stronger. Without waiting for Lisa to say anything else, Lucia took a step and walked straight

ahead.

With looking at her leaving, the coldness in Lisa's eyes became more obvious. She was the one who

tripped her up and she wanted Lucia to make a fool of herself in front of everyone. But she didn't

expect that after a period of rest, Lucia would be able to be stronger than before!

Lisa went angrier. She had never considered Lucia as a rival before, but now, she was going to take

her seriously!

Suddenly, a light laugh came from the side, "Lisa, I didn't expect you to be defeated at times." Lisa

turned her head and saw Irene walking from the side, then her face was somber, "You are not much

better, right?"

She had also heard about Irene's affairs with Lucia, Hearing her say that, Irene not only didn't get

annoyed but also smiled, “Lisa, have you ever heard the saying that people who have a common

enemy are friends? Do you think we are friends now?"

She had suffered so much punishment because of Lucia. Sooner or later, she would have to settle

this score with her. Wouldn't her odds be better with a helper? Lisa's expression changed slightly,

and she looked at Irene. Only after a moment did she say, "Of course.”

Rushing back to the Administration Department, Lucia just felt her throat was smoking. When she

returned to the office and saw the bruise cream and spray on the desk, she froze for a few seconds.

Who put these things here? They weren't there when she came in this morning. Looking down at

her somewhat red and swollen knee, Lucia was even more puzzled. Suddenly. August's cold face

flashed in her mind. Could it be August? How could he care about her?

Lucia shook off her head and stopped thinking about it. No matter who brought these, she had to

get a glass of water to drink first. Walking to the pantry area and receiving a cup of warm water, she

drank most of it in one gulp. Emma saw her in the pantry area and immediately came over with her

cup

"Lucia, I heard you went to receive foreign guests?" Lucia nodded and said softly, "Well, I'm just

setting things up. It's pretty tiring, too.” Emma blinked her eyes and asked nosily. "Really? I'm quite

curious if the French representatives are handsome. Are they more handsome than President

Adams?" Lucia couldn't help but laugh, "If you want to see the foreign representatives, run to the

door now and you might even see

them." "Forget it! I'm not willing to go."Emma curled her lips, and suddenly she thought of

something, saying, "By the way, I just saw Harris come by and enter your office, but he quickly left."

Burton? What was he doing here? After a moment of hesitation, Lucia thought of the medicine on

the desk and suddenly reacted. Could it be that August told him to do this? But why was he

suddenly so concerned about her? Not waiting for Lucia to think about it, Emma suddenly turned

serious when she saw Lisa coming back, "No more small talk, or Lisa should scold me again.” With

that, she trotted back to her workstation. Lucia swept a glance at Lisa and also carried the cup back

to the office. Not long after she sat down, her phone dinged and she received a message. She

opened it and saw that it was a message from Paul. "I'm running an errand downtown at noon, close

to your office. Is it convenient for you to have dinner with me?" After she met with Paul yesterday,

they exchanged contact information and added WeChat. As soon as she arrived home, she received

a greeting message from him. He said good night to her in the evening and reminded her to have

breakfast in the morning. The messages were not too many, but they were just right, making her

feel the warmth. Lucia glanced at the time, five minutes before the end of the day. After a moment's

hesitation, she agreed and sent Paul a message back.

“Okay.”

Paul replied immediately, “Okay, Il meet you downstairs at your office. See you later.” He was already downstairs? Lucia was shocked and

immediately packed up her things. When it was time to leave work, she immediately took the elevator

and left,

Paul and she had only just met, and if her colleagues saw them together, they would inevitably gossip, so she might as well go down quickly to

avoid embarrassment. When the elevator reached the first floor, she trotted out of the lobby. As soon as she went out, she saw a tall and large

figure standing not far away. Paul saw her, curled his lips, and waved at her, smiling as gently as usual. Lucia smiled back at him and stepped

forward. Down the steps, in the black Maybach, August was casually flipping through the tablet, He opened his mouth lightly and asked, "Did

you send the medicine to her?" "Yes."

“Well let's go.” While saying that, he put down the tablet. When he inadvertently looked out of the window, his eyes focused on something, and

his face abruptly san.

Lucia was with a man
