Submit to the Boss He Rules the Boardroom and the Bedroom Chapter 1

There was rare silence in the huge cafe. Lucia lowered her head, stirring the coffee in front of her
nervously. The atmosphere fell into an awkward state for a while.

“First time on a blind date?” the man asked in a plain tone after being seated for half a minute. His aura
was too strong, and just a simple question sentence made Lucia even more nervous.

Today was Lucia Mitchell’s first blind date in her life. Under the coercion of her mother, she reluctantly
came to the pre-appointed cafe and found the designated seat. She had thought that today was going
to be a formality, but the man who had sat down turned out to be August Adams, the CEO of Lion
Group. He had a huge influence in Austos city!

Worse still, Lucia worked in Lion Group as a small clerk in the administration department. Of course
August would not know her, but it was too hard for Lucia to pretend she did not know him.

She was so nervous that she stuttered, “Yes, the… the first time…”

August looked back and forth at Lucia with his cold gaze, and continued to ask,

“Have you graduated from college?”

“Yes.” Lucia swallowed unconsciously and added, “It is been two years since graduation.”

Hearing the answer, August was silent for a while, and there was no emotion on his handsome face.
But Lucia felt quite nervous in her heart. On the one hand, she was thinking about what kind of fairy her
mother worshiped and got such a top blind date. On the other hand, she wondered if August was sitting
in the wrong place. Or was she sitting in the wrong place? She glanced at the number plate on the
table from the corner of her eye, and it was indeed No.18.



“Sorry… did you find the wrong seat?” Lucia asked with courage.

“Have you got your ID card?” August said.

They two spoke at the same time, and also stopped abruptly at the same time. Lucia raised her head in
shock after hearing August’s words. Seeing August’s near-perfect face from such a close distance,
Lucia felt her cheeks flushing and her mind going blank.

August was very handsome, even better looking than the popular stars. However, as a businessman,
he emitted a domineering temperament, which often made people want to run away.

Lucia had entered Lion Group as an intern since college, and stayed after the internship for two years.
In the past two years, she had only seen August from behind in a distance a few times. Now they were
sitting face to face, which was even more fantastic than a dream.

“Do you have any questions?” August looked at Lucia’s blushing face, and the coldness in his eyes
lessened. Lucia shook her head, what problem could she have with her boss!

Suddenly, August’s cell phone rang, and he picked it up. After a brief silence, he replied neatly, “Got it.”
Then, he hung up the phone and looked up at Lucia, “Let’s go.” He got up as sharply as he spoke and
did things.

Lucia obediently stood up and followed August out of the cafe as if she was bewildered. August was
6.2 ft, so Lucia, 5.6 ft, looked petite behind him. She followed August into the car, a black business
Maybach that he often drove.

Sitting in such a luxurious car, Lucia was very uneasy. She kept stirring her two fingers, asking herself
from time to time if she was dreaming. However, all her reactions were seen by August.



“My family forced me to go on a blind date. I do not want to waste my time on this. You look not bad, a
good candidate for marriage.” In the quiet car, August’s magnetic voice suddenly rang in Lucia’s ear.

Lucia looked at August in astonishment. Although she came to have a blind date with him, they were
not at the stage of marriage, “Do you need to think about it again as we seem not to be quite familiar
with each other…”

“No need.” August interrupted Lucia. He said domineeringly in a cold voice, “Be my wife and I will give
you everything you want.”

Unbeknownst to Lucia, August had known her very well before he came.

With the end of August’s voice, the car also stopped. At this time, the special assistant Burton Harris,
who had been sitting in the front row silently, got out of the car, opened the door for Lucia, and made a
gesture of please.

“Municipal Department?” Seeing the destination, Lucia pinched her arm in disbelief, and yelled in pain.
This was too fast. She was not ready yet.

Lucia wanted to go back, but Burton came over and said with a smile, “Ms. Mitchell.”

“I, I didn’t bring my ID card.” Lucia found an excuse in panic. She had not heard of anyone who came
to get married just after a blind date!

Burton smiled and led Lucia inside, “It is okay.”

Burton’s actions left Lucia in a dilemma. She looked back at August who was still in the car. Judged
from his expression just now, if she ran away, August would kill her. So, Lucia had to follow Burton into
the municipal department.



In fewer than ten minutes, Lucia came out. Patting her face, Lucia felt like she was still dreaming—She
had actually applied for a marriage certificate with August, without an ID card, without appearing with
the male protagonist, and she became a married woman! She still felt that none of this was real.

Lucia didn’t come back to her sense until August got out of the car. He took the marriage certificate
from Burton and put it in the lined pocket of his suit. Then, he looked up at Lucia and said, “I have an
emergency meeting later. I’ll ask Burton to take you back, and I’ll visit your parents after the meeting
ends.”

Lucia nodded resignedly. August didn’t say anything more. He turned around and walked to the
intersection, stopped a taxi and left.

Looking at August leaving, Lucia lost in her thought. This incident was too bizarre. She actually got a
certificate with August, the most handsome man in Austos City!

“Madam, please.” Burton said after August left, opening the car door for Lucia.

Madam? Lucia was pulled back to her senses by the new address. She glanced at

Burton in embarrassment, nodded her head, and got in the car.

“Madam, this is my business card with my number on it. If you need anything, you can call me.” Burton
turned around and handed Lucia his business card with both hands. Burton was August’s senior
special assistant and had a high status in the company. He could even be considered a senior to Lucia.

Lucia was a little nervous when Burton handed her a business card. She took it with both hands and
said subconsciously, “Thank you.”

“Madam, you don’t have to be too polite to me.” Burton said respectfully.

Seeing Burton smiling so friendly at her, Lucia swallowed hard and said nothing.



Today’s experience was too dreamy for her. It was hard to believe she got married in fewer than three
hours on a blind date. In retrospect, she felt that she was too impulsive. How could she agree to get
married just because the man dating her was her boss? She did not know how to explain it to her
mother when she got home.

“Madam, Boss will be here on time at six o’clock.” After getting out of the car,

Burton added.

The scene of Lucia getting out of a luxury car instantly attracted the attention of people. Lucia had no
time to wonder why Burton had known she lived here. She nodded to Burton before she quickly fled the
scene.

She arrived at the door, exhausted and out of breath. When she was about to knock on the door, Lucia
found her mother, Elisa Mitchell, standing behind her with a vegetable basket.

“Look at you, you’re not like a lady at all.” Elisa said in a judgy tone as she opened the door.

Lucia stuck her tongue out and squeezed herself through the doorway. And then she

threw her shoes away before rushing into the living room to grab some water.

Elisa shook her head, displeased, “Lucia Mitchell, your behavior is really

inappropriate!”

Elisa put the food basket in the kitchen, and then came out and muttered, “When I

came back, I heard from our neighbor that a girl came back in a luxury car! Such a

lucky dog.”



Lucia said in a weak tone, “That is me.”

“Huh, you? Rich man likes you?” Elisa smirked, “When was the last time you looked

into a mirror?”

Elisa’s disbelief and relentless suppression left Lucia speechless.

Both Elisa and Bill Mitchell were university professors. About Lucia’s marriage,

they upheld that she should find someone matching their background. They did not

want Lucia to marry into a wealthy family. After all, it was not easy to live in

such a cruel world.

Lucia also knew what her parents were thinking, and she feared that her mother

would faint if she knew her daughter was indeed married into a super rich family.

“By the way, how is the blind date today?” Elisa came over and sat down on the

sofa, as if she was going to interrogate Lucia.

Elisa was retired now. Besides dancing, she went to the hospital to be a volunteer.

Lucia’s blind date this time was the grandson of an old lady she had met there.

“Mom, where did you know this guy?” Lucia sat down on the sofa next to her.

“He is Mrs. Adams’ grandson. I heard that he is 30 years old, single for being busy



with work. I’ve seen his photos and he looks very stable.” Elisa had a slight smile

on her face, obviously satisfied with him.

Lucia bit her lip and noticed her mother’s expression. Apparently her mother did

not even know August’s true identity.

“I’m asking you! What is your impression?” Seeing that Lucia was distracted, Elisa

asked while rolling his eyes.

Lucia nodded while biting her lips, “He is not bad.”

“That is fine. You can try to get along with him. It takes time to know people’s

hearts.” Elisa stood up, ready to wash the vegetables she had just bought.

Seeing that Elisa was about to walk into the kitchen, Lucia rushed to pull the

corner of Elisa’s shirt and asked, “Mom, where is Dad? Is Dad coming back for

dinner tonight?”

“Yeah. What’s the matter?” Elisa asked.

Lucia shook her head, then nodded again, and finally whispered, “He is coming to our house for dinner
tonight.”
