Submit to the Boss He Rules the Boardroom and the Bedroom Chapter 108

“All right, Lucia?"

Paula reached out to pull Lucia up and checked´ anxiously if she was hurt.

Lucia secretly sighed with relief and shook her head.

"Yes, Paula, I’m fine."

If Paula had come any later, something would have happened to Lucia.

Having made sure that Lucia was okay, Paula turned around and shouted coldly´ at the others, "What
are you lot doing? Bullying a woman? How dare you!"

The managers and bosses in the room froze at the sight of this situation.

Mr.´ Slinger was the first to react, narrowing his eyes and smiling, "You can’t be serious, Lucia.

We’re just having a drink.

Why do you have to get your friend here? You’re putting your leader, Mr.Stebbing, in an awkward
position."

By saying this, he immediately put the blame on Lucia.

Lucia raised her eyes to look at Ted who had a sullen face, clenched her fists and took a deep breath.

"I’m wondering why you have to put me in such an awkward position, Mr.Stebbing.

Do you think it’s right to have your female employee drink with your clients?"



When she said that, Ted’s face became more sullen.

He watched her coldly like a hawk as if trying to see through her.

He coldly Ted actually said he didn’t force her to drink? Did he have to put a knife to her neck to force
her? Paula pulled at Lucia’s hand.

"Stop talking to them, Lucia! Let’s go!"

spoke up next to her.´ "I’d like to see who dares to leave today!"

He grabbed a wine bottle and´ smashed it on the corner of the table with a bang.

The pieces of the smashed bottle clattered all over the floor, with a dangerous silver glow.

Mr.Slinger was obviously drunk.

His face was red, and the veins in the corners of his forehead were bulging.´ The atmosphere became
tense all of a sudden.

Looking at the indifferent eyes of those a few knocks on the door.

Everyone looked over and saw Burton standing at the door.

He had made the sound just now by knocking on the door with his hand.

Lucia froze and subconsciously looked behind him, but she didn’t see the figure´ unhurriedly bowed
slightly to Ted, but his tone was firm´ and certain´ Before Ted could say anything, Mr.Slinger, who was
closest to the door,´ suddenly roared, "Get out! You’re a party pooper!"

Ted’s face darkened.



He suddenly raised his hand, gesturing for him to stop talking.

"Mr.Slinger."

Then, he turned to Burton and raised his eyebrows, asking in a cold voice, "August told you to do so?"

Burton nodded slightly.

"Yes, Mr.Adams did."

When those in the room heard the name of August, their expressions all´ changed a bit.

Especially Mr.Slinger, he looked at Burton with some shock, unable to say anything.

In contrast, Ted was much calmer.

He turned to gaze at Lucia, parted his dark purple lips, and said in a deep voice, "All right, you can
leave now."

Burton nodded and looked over at Lucia and Paula.

Lucia took a deep breath and pulled Paula out of the room.

Outside, she looked around unconsciously without seeing the familiar figure.

"Lucia, go!"

Once out of the room, Paula pulled Lucia along and quickened her They got out of the Time Club and
into Paula’s car.

Behind them, Burton´ then Paula.

"What’s...



going´ on?"´ Burton was working for August.

He wouldn’t have been here without August’s order.

But why did Burton get into their car directly after he came down with them?´ now, but I’m glad I got
Burton here! Otherwise, I really didn’t know what to´ do!"´ is out of town on a business trip, so I had no
choice but to call Burton.

You don’t mind, do you?"

Lucia didn’t mind.

She was just curious to know why Burton would listen to Paula.´ what Lucia wanted to ask.

Her grip on the´ steering wheel tightened a bit.

"Hey, I’ll tell you later!"

Hearing that, Lucia didn’t think much of it.

She took a deep breath and slowly calmed down.

Suddenly, she thought was sitting in the back seat, and asked gently, "August...

Where is he? Why didn’t he answer the phone?"´ answer the phone when she called him several
times.

A trace of hesitation flashed across Burton’s face.

He opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

Lucia saw his expression and couldn’t help but feel a little nervous.



"Is he...

at a social gathering?"

"No,"

Burton said gently, "Mr.Adams is in the hospital."

Hearing this, Lucia instantly understood.´ So, August was in the hospital with Jeanne at the moment.

No wonder he wouldn’t even answer her calls.´ doing in the hospital?"

Burton had tried to keep it from them, but he had to tell them Mr.Adams is staying there with her."

Once he said this, the atmosphere in the car obviously got a little colder.

Paula sensed that something was wrong and quietly glanced at the expression of Lucia, who was next
to her.

Then, she raised her eyes to the rearview mirror´ we take you home first, Lucia?"

Lucia felt like something was weighing her heart down and she was somewhat out of breath.

On top of that, she felt dizzy and light-headed after the nightmarish experience she had just had in the
private room of the club.

She raised her hand to massage the place between her eyebrows and said in a softer voice, "Please
take me back to my apartment, Paula.

I’m not feeling´ well."´ Next to her, Paula immediately responded, "Okay."´ It was silent in the car along
the way.´ When they got to the entrance of the neighborhood, Lucia said, "See you."



Seeing that she pushed the door open and got out, Paula quickly asked, "Do´ you want me to walk you
home, Lucia?"´ Lucia waved her hand, looking exhausted.

"No, thanks.

Please drive Harris´ back.

He helped me a lot today."

After that, she turned around and walked into the neighborhood.

When Lucia went through the gate, what Burton had just said kept lingering in her mind.´ was with
another woman.

She shouldn’t´ have held so much hope and expectation for him.

Lucia turned the corners of her mouth upward into a bitter smile.

When what she had promised August was done, she would definitely get away´ from here and him,
without a second thought.´
