Submit to the Boss He Rules the Boardroom and the Bedroom Chapter 75

Lucia froze and hesitated.

She hadn't decided whether to go back to the Lion Group to work.

No matter what, it was also August's company.

If she went back, she would often see him and it would be awkward.

Carter hurriedly continued to ask, "I heard you had a fall at home and were hospitalized.

How are you doing now? Can you come to work?"

Lucia hesitated, "I feel better now, but..."

Not waiting for her to finish her sentence, Carter said, "Lucia, can you come back to work tomorrow?
We've been so busy lately that our department is short of hands, and I'll be relieved if you can come
back.

What's more, it's the end of the second quarter of the year and I can apply for a salary increase for
you."

Salary increase? Lucia became so excited.

Lion Group offered two salary increases each year, one at mid-year and one at the end of the year.

Although she hadn't achieved much in the past two years, she had been working hard to make money.

And she had waited six months for such an opportunity, so she couldn't miss it.



Besides, the Lion Group's salary was already very good in the industry, and she might not be able to
find a job with such a high salary afterward.

If she left at this time, she would be at a disadvantage.

Biting her lip, Lucia dispelled the few remaining misgivings and spoke, "Carter, I'll be able to go to work
tomorrow.' Hearing her say that, Carter sighed in relief, "Okay, then you can come to work tomorrow."

After hanging up the phone, Lucia took a deep breath and continued to walk home.

As soon as Lucia got home, Mrs.Mitchell took her by the hand and asked her, "How was the boy?"

"He's fine,"

Lucia responded casually while thinking about something else.

Mrs.Mitchell couldn't resist asking, "What do you mean? What did you talk about? Tell me about it..."

Lucia felt a little chaotic and whispered, "Mom, I want to be quiet and I'm going to work tomorrow..."

"Go to work?"

When she heard Lucia say that, Mrs.Mitchell became anxious again, "Are you sure you want to go
back to work?"

Wouldn't it be awkward for the two of them to meet each other then? Lucia took a deep breath and
spoke, "Mom, I've already thought about it.

It's okay, and I'm in the Administration Department, so I won't see him very often."

When she said this, Mrs.Mitchell nodded and didn't say anything more.



Lucia also kept reassuring herself, but she didn't expect that on her first day back at work, she would
be assigned by Carter to help the colleagues in the President's Office again.

"Lisa, Lucia, we have a project, and today the president's office is receiving foreign guests again, but
everyone is busy with other work, so the job of receiving and assisting the Secretary's Office will be left
to you two."

On her first day back at work, Lucia couldn't help but feel annoyed when she heard about this.

If she was assisting the Secretary's Office with foreign guests, she would inevitably have to meet with
August.

When Carter inadvertently looked up and saw Lucia wandering off, she asked, "Lucia, what's wrong
with you?"

Lucia took a deep breath and hurriedly said, "Nothing-nothing."

Since she had agreed to come back to work, she naturally couldn't pick and choose or had any
objections.

Seeing this, Lisa next to her looked at Lucia coldly, smiled crookedly, and asked, "Lucia, you are not
recovering from the fall? Is it really okay for you to receive foreign guests in such a mental state?"

These words sounded like concern, but Lucia was not a fool and could hear the ridicule and sarcasm
beyond her words.

She forced herself up and smiled at Lisa, "Don't worry.

After so many days of rest, I am now full of energy and in good shape."

Hearing her say that, Lisa froze and looked away without saying anything else.



Carter cleared his throat and said, "All right.

You get ready and can go over to help the Secretary's Office."

11:01 When they came out of Carter's office, the colleagues in the desk area saw Lucia and gave her a
few looks.

After all, they hadn't seen her for a while, and they all thought she had quit.

Emma smiled at Lucia and waved her hand.

Lucia smiled, unconsciously in a much better mood.

She followed Lisa straight to the large meeting room in the company where they received important
clients.

"Lay out these brochures just like this, and this one according to the schematic."

As soon as they arrived at the conference room, Lisa gave the easiest task directly to Lucia, while she
was flipping through the information about the foreign guests who came this time.

Without saying much, Lucia started to work on setting up the relevant materials.

After that, she walked over to the projector display.

Lisa seemed to be practicing something.

When Lucia approached, she heard a few basic greetings in French.

She raised an eyebrow and glanced at the name on the name tag, then realized that the foreign guest
this time was representative of a French company Lisa suddenly turned her head toward her and
ordered in a cold voice, "Go check the stereo, projector, and laptop.



If there's nothing wrong, then go and see if the pantry is ready."

Lucia took a breath and looked at her seriously, "What about you?"

If all these jobs were left to her, what did Lisa do? Lisa frowned, seemingly not expecting Lucia to
question her in this way.

She gritted her teeth, unable to say anything, so she stopped reading the guest information in her hand
and got up to walk to the projector.

When the conference room was almost set up, someone from Secretary's Office came over.

Irene and Mary walked in and checked it out as they always did.

When Irene saw Lucia, her face was somber.

She looked at the conference table, then walked over to the windowsill and reached out her finger to
wipe it.

Seeing the thin layer of ash on her fingertips, she looked at Lucia and spoke in a cold voice, "Is this the
conference room you set up?"

Her words seemed to be addressed to Lucia and Lisa, but her gaze had clearly indicated who was
being targeted.

Lucia took a look at the windowsill and knew in her heart that the hygiene of the conference room was
taken care of by professional cleaners, so Irene was just using this as an excuse.

On Lucia's first day back at work, she didn't want to get into any trouble with Irene, so she didn't say
much.



She got up and went to the pantry next to the conference room to get a rag and wipe the conference
room windowsill and table again.

Seeing Lucia being so obedient, Irene was very pleased.

She hadn't seen Lucia for a while and didn't expect that Lucia had surprisingly learned a lot.

She raised an eyebrow in triumph and looked to Mary, "Mary, it's time for us to go wait downstairs."

Mary nodded, glanced at Lucia and Lisa, and instructed softly, "The foreign guests will be arriving in
about fifteen minutes.

You can go to Archives and get the prepared planning cases back."

Lisa smiled and agreed, "Okay, Marry, leave this to me."

Just as Mary and Irene left, Lisa turned her head to Lucia and ordered, "You go to the Archives and
pick up the planning cases."

Listening to Lisa assign her tasks again, Lucia frowned and asked again, "What about you?"

She was not a fool and would not allow her to order herself like this again and again.
