Submit to the Boss He Rules the Boardroom and the Bedroom

Chapter 177

Suddenly a big hand reached her and held her shoulders to support her.

Lucia came to herself at once and before looking up, she was used to saying, "Thank you..."

When she looked up at the person helping her, unexpectedly she saw a familiar face.

It was August.

Lucia sharply became gloomy and tried to stand well by herself, unconsciously stepping back a little.

Seeing her reaction, August’s poker face became sullener with her brow frowning involuntarily.

When watching she almost fell down, he kindly rushed to help her to her feet, but he didn’t expect to see her reaction like that.

This annoyed him and he deliberately spoke with thin lips in a more indifferent voice, "Since you didn't sleep well, don’t come to work, or others will have a mistake that I'm a demanding boss."

His words made Lucia’s embarrassment and panic dissipate a lot. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

With clenched teeth, she stepped back a little and replied, "Don't worry, President Adams.

I know I’m in good health.

You are overthinking."

Then she turned around and left there without hesitation.

However, she was in such a hurry that when she abruptly turned around, her head felt so heavy and sudden dizziness almost made her fall down again.

What's wrong? Lucia felt ill and she couldn't see clearly with her woozy head.

She hurriedly put her hand against the wall to support herself and took a deep breath to make herself feel better, after a long while, it finally worked.

August watched her, suddenly getting angry, then without hesitation, strode to her and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Time and time again, she almost fell down, so something must happen to her.

Hearing his question, Lucia took a deep breath, clenching her teeth,"

I'm fine.

President Adams, don’t bother worrying me."

How stubborn she was.

August got furious, frowning.

Even in a such bad state, she insisted on rejecting her help.

But her pale face wasn't fake.

Without considering much, August grasped her wrist trying to take her away,"

Follow me."

With a deep breath, Lucia suddenly realized what was going on and hurried to pull her hand out of his grasp.

She felt dizzy but didn't get silly.

This was in company and in the working hours, and there were a lot of colleagues bustling.

If they saw August acted so intimately with her, she couldn't imagine what kind of gossip would spread in the whole company.

"President Adams, could you stay out of my business?"

Then she turned around and ready to go.

But her wrist was grasped again and she was pulled into the reception room nearby.

Lucia was shocked and before speaking, she saw August lock the door briskly.

She felt a little guilty, thinking of what August and she did in the office last time, and a chill spread in her body.

Didn't he intend to do the same thing...

in this reception room? While turning around, August just saw the nervous woman in panic, he seemed to know what she was thinking.

August frowned and questioned her coldly, "What do you think I’m going to do?"

"You...you leave me alone."

Lucia stepped back slowly.

August sniffed at it and smiled with disdain, directly striding close to her.

Lucia had stepped back to the inner window, so she had no place to escape.

Before she knew she had crossed her hands before the chest and got up the courage to say,"

It's the daytime, how dare you..."

Before she finished it, August already got close to her and without hesitation, stretched his long arm and put one hand against the wall behind her body, looking at her from above,"

I could do it whenever I want, no matter day or night."

How arrogant he was! When August held out another hand, Lucia unconsciously retracted her head and closed her eyes.

Soon, she felt a little cold on her forehead, which was the man’s back of the hand.

Lucia opened her eyes and saw August's solemn face.

Seemingly, he didn't intend to do other things.

After a moment of silence, his face got more serious with a little worry in his black eyes.

He gazed at her,"

Lucia, do you know you have a fever?"

Lucia was frozen and didn't say anything.

When she discussed the planning case with Lyan, she already felt a little weak and ill, and the moment she went to the bathroom, she felt the darkness covering her eyes and her head was dizzy.

All of this...

seemed to be the symptoms of the fever.

August saw the woman retract her head and not say a word with a confused look, like a silly quail.

He didn't know what to do with her but felt angry and amused.

At last, he stepped back a little, shot a glance at her coldly, and utter only one word,"

Silly."

She even didn’t know she had a fever.

What an "amazing girl"! Lucia didn’t know why she was scolded, stunned for a moment, and looked at the man.

She wanted to retort, but hesitated, considering her situation.

She was afraid of provoking him, so at last, held back the words on the lips.

If he got angry, then it was she who would suffer at last.

August took out his phone, sent some messages, and said in the usual cold voice, "I will give you the day off.

You go home and take some pills.

I will make Burton send you back."

He thought she was not able to work with the sick body.

Unexpectedly, Lucia’s face changed a little, and reject him immediately,"

No, I must go to work."

Now, Lyan was waiting for her to discuss the planning case, and she had other work to do, if she went home, a lot of things had to be put off.

August didn’t expect she would reject him.

He turned around angry and repeated coldly,"

I will give you the day off."

She could rest at home without a pay deduction, which was such a good chance everyone expected, but she surprisingly rejected him outright.

With pressed lips, Lucia insisted,"

I’m fine.

I will go to take two pills of febrifuge.

Thanks for your concern, President Adams.

"

Then she was ready to go.

With frowning brows, August glanced at her with cold eyes, and finally walked forward and stood against the door to stop her.

"Lucia, are you on purpose?"

She did all of this on purpose to be against him and made him upset.

Lucia glared at the man in front of her, thinking of the scene he accompanied Jeanne, and angrily said to him after taking a deep breath,"

President Adams, it is none of your business, please leave me alone."

She was already determined to keep him at arm's length, moreover, last time he said he was unfamiliar with her, now why did he try to interfere in her business? On hearing her words, August pressed his cool thin lips and his face got colder.

After taking a deep breath and noticing he didn't say anything and didn't move a little, Lucia got up the courage and looked up staring at him, then said slowly and seriously, "I'm only an ordinary employee in the company, does President Adams care every employee so much?"

"You are the president and I'm an employee.

Our relationship is so simple like that.

I hope President Adams should not try to intervene in my business."

After these words, Lucia looked down a little and bowed to him slightly, with a tense back, She walked out.

The door opened and closed behind him in no time, August didn't say a word, frowning.

He didn't expect she was not sensible like that.

He suddenly felt restless and untied his bow tie a little, the face deadly sullen.

Did he concern her too much? Then as her wishes, from now on, he wouldn't help her no matter what bad situation she was in.
