Chapter 242 Avoid him
Lucia got up carefully, tiptoed to find a new suit to wear, and left her apartment before August woke up.She was reluctant to be faced with August, otherwise she would be embarrassed to die.She decided to find Paula, but considering Paula was leaving with her parents, and she was afraid to disturb them so she went directly to the hospital and waited in the hospital corridor.
Having made up her mind, she accelerated her steps in the direction of the subway station, but the sound of a car horn coming from behind her startled her, and when she subconsciously looked back, finding it was August's car following her! Lucia was surprised how August could follow her out so quickly when she swept up to Burton sitting in the driver's seat, and only then did she react.
She supposed Burton was coming over to pick up August, but she was shameful to see anyone related to August, so she pretended not to see him and quickened her steps to run into the subway station without looking back.
When she arrived at the hospital with a heavy heart, Bill and Elisa hadn't woken up yet, so she sat in a chair in the corridor outside and waited.
Although she was sleepy, when she thought of the images last night, she felt much regretful and guilty for Jeanne.
She gave herself a slap and reminded herself to keep a distance from August, but Elisa happened to bump into her strange behavior.
"Lucia?"
She stepped forward in panic and pulled her hand, "What are you doing? Are you crazy?" Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
Lucia quickly lied to her, "Nothing, I'm just a little sleepy."
"Didn't you sleep well yesterday? Why are you here so early today?"
Elisa was scolding her as she swept over the hickeys on her neck.
Noticing her gaze, Lucia hurriedly hid them, but before she could explain, Elisa gave her a meaningful smile and said, "I understand..."
She lowered her voice and asked mysteriously, "Paul is not bad, right? You are really well matched."
Lucia's eyes widened in shock.She recalled that she had left with Paul yesterday at noon, no wonder Elisa would misunderstand her.
Lucia frowned and explained, "Mom, I didn’t sleep with Paul!"
"I know I know!"
Elisa smiled happily and patted her shoulder, "I'll go to get some water, later your dad will wake up..."
Then she took a step and walked away quickly.
Lucia looked at her back, regretting not checking carefully in the mirror.
In case of being to blame by Elisa, she had to hide the truth.
Before entering the ward, she took the foundation in her bag to cover up her neck.
In the ward, Bill was already awake, and he seemed to be in a good mood, chatting with Lucia for a long time.
At this moment, August woke up but was nowhere to find Lucia.
For a moment, a sense of annoyance at being betrayed rose in his heart.
He looked at the stained suit and immediately dialed Burton to send a new set to him.
After changing clothes, August walked out of the apartment impatiently and angrily.
Burton said to August, "Mr.Adams, the first time after six o'clock I came here today, I saw Ms.Mitchell."
August asked in a cold voice, "Where is she? Why didn't you stop her?"
"Just near the entrance of the neighborhood.I honked at her, but she ran into the subway station."
Burton paused and said softly, "It looked like she was avoiding me."
August frowned, clearly displeased with his words.He wondered why she was so bold to seduce him last night, but woke up early this morning and ran away without taking responsibility.
The more August thought about it, the angrier he became, and his face became more and more gloomy.
Burton advised, "Mr.Adams, even if she had fled away, she is still an employee of Lion Group after all."
August nodded and he was sure he could easily find her because she had to go back to work anyhow.
