Chapter 246 Lacking A Secretary
Gritting her teeth, Lucia got up, went to her supervisor's office, and saw two women sitting at the desk.
Following a glance at her, Carter said, "Take a seat.We're having a meeting.Where is the document?"
Lucia clenched her fists, bit the bullet, and lied, "I haven't gotten it yet.Melinda was not in the office.I waited for a while.She didn't show up, and I had to come back first."
The other woman, Lisa, couldn't help sneering, "Melinda was not there? I'm afraid she can't recognize you due to your long absence."
Lucia pursed her lips but made no comments.
Carter put on a serious face, looked up at Lisa, and said, "Go and get the file."
Lisa was not happy about it but could not defy her boss.
Following a glance at Lucia, she got up and went out.
As soon as the woman was gone, Carter said, "Don't take it personally.The colleagues are discontent with your long leave.It will be fine in a couple of days."
Cheered up by Carter's comfort, Lucia smiled and said, "Don't worry about it.I'm okay."
In a short while, Lisa came back with a sullen face.
Carter saw her empty hands and asked with a frown, "Where is the document?"
Lisa glanced at Lucia and sulked, "Mr.Adams had the file.According to Melinda, Lucia is required to get it from him "Huh?"
Lucia was surprised.
Apparently, August did that to give her a hard time.
With inquiring eyes, Carter looked over.
Lisa continued to huff, "I don't know why Mr.Adams gave such an order.Did you offend him?"
Offend him? No way! Lucia clasped her fingers, took a deep breath, looked up at her boss, and muttered, "I'm going to get the file."
Calm as ever, Carter slightly lifted her chin.
"Go ahead."
Out of the office, Lucia got mixed feelings and recalled what had just happened.
August had seen her outside President's Office and should have learned about her business.
By taking the document away, he was forcing her to go and see him.
What a rascal! Lucia bristled and cursed under her breath.
She subconsciously slowed down because she didn't really want to see the man.
That drunken mistake was embarrassing.She was unconscious back then, but now they were both sober.She was too ashamed to face him.
At the President's Office, she hesitated in knocking on the door.
Her mind was in turmoil till a cold, deep voice suddenly came from behind her.
"Go in since you're here."
Lucia stiffened and whipped her head around.
This man came out of nowhere.
"You!"
"What are you waiting for?"
August arched his brow indifferently, "Come on in.He opened the door, grabbed her arm, and dragged her inside.With the sound of the door closing, something seemed to be weighing on her chest.She raised her head and saw the man looking down at her.
His inky eyes were flickering.
In the next instant, the corners of his mouth curved up, but the coldness prevailed in his eyes.
"Are you hiding from me?"
In a bland tone, he stated a fact that she could not deny.She was indeed hiding from him.She hoped that they would not meet again.She was just not that bold to admit it in front of him.
"I'm not."
"No?"
August took a step forward and leaned over, "I think you are!"
Lucia stiffened.
Before she could respond, his deep voice went into her ears.
"You were not like this when you wrapped your hands around my neck the night before."
His words contained a lot of information.
Her eyes rounded, and her words got stuck in her throat.She couldn't believe that he made such a blunt remark to her face.
It was super embarrassing.Her cheeks visibly flushed. From NôvelDrama.Org.
She took a deep breath and gritted her teeth.
"That...That's nonsense!"
"Is that so?"
August narrowed his eyes and acted like he had anticipated her denial.
From his pocket, he fished out his phone and played a video.
The moans of a woman then rang out.Her mind was blown.
She was drunk and blacked out the other day.
The voice was unmistakably hers.
Ashamed and annoyed, she gnashed her teeth and glared at him.
August cocked his brows and asked, "Want to continue watching it?"
Lucia trembled in anger.
"You're perverted!"
She couldn't believe that he filmed it.
August gave a spurious smile.He had anticipated her denial and had this recorded.
There weren't any explicit scenes, but in the video, Lucia was moaning under him for 30 seconds.
That was enough to deal with the disobedient girl.
Lucia overcame her shock, looked at the phone in his hand, and fumed.He went too far.
In a fit of pique, she forced the words out of her gritted teeth.
"Fine, I am avoiding you.I don't want to see your face."
Her eyes gleamed with determination.She bristled like a hedgehog, but her face was stunning.
August felt a burning pain in his heart.It upset him to get such a serious look from her.
Did she hate him so much? He wrinkled his brows and sullenly pushed her to the wall.
"I'll make you see me every day."
It was not easy to meet a woman who disliked him, and her wish would not be granted.
Lucia came to her senses and said, "What do you want?"
This man had taken her by surprise again and again.
August curled his lips and snorted, "Mary is getting married, and I've approved her application for leave.Now I'm lacking a secretary."
He didn't finish his words, but Lucia got his implication.
Tensing up, she stared at him with her bright eyes but remained silent.
As expected, August continued in a deep voice, "Lucia, why don't you temporarily fill in the position?"
Lucia blurted out, "No, I don't want it."
If she took Mary's place and worked as August's secretary, she would be a lamb to the slaughter.
That was a flat rejection.
A flicker of playfulness flashed across his eyes.
"Do you think you have an option?"
