Submit to the Boss He Rules the Boardroom and the Bedroom Chapter 129

Lucia's eyes widened as she heard this and she stared at him in disbelief.He wasn't going to leave.

Was he planning to stay here with her? What a moocher! The thought of what happened last time
August stayed with her made Lucia blush and she said somewhat unnaturally, "I...I don't have any
room for you here, you'd better go."

Through her eyes, August seemed to see through all her thoughts.

A slight smile spread across his face as he asked, "Are you afraid?"

A long delay might cause trouble.

Was she afraid something would happen between them?

"Why should I be afraid?"

Lucia took a deep breath and tried to maintain her composure.

"There was only one bedroom, so you don't have a place to stay."

As August took a half step forward, he asked, word by word, "How is that possible?"

The last time he slept here, why wasn't there a place for him to stay this time? She took a step back in
panic, keeping a distance between them and looking somewhat defensively at him.

"There is only one bed, so if you really want to stay, you can sleep on the couch." Lucia said, lifting her
chin and pointing at the couch.

There was no way August would even sleep on the couch just to stay with her.



Observing the woman's resistance, August's eyes flashed with an unnoticeable reflection.

It appeared that this little girl did not understand his good intentions at all.

Knowing she was injured and could not take good care of herself, he deliberately stayed to take care of
her.

But she was always on guard against him, afraid that something would happen between them again.

He lifted his eyes and asked in a light voice, "Do you really want me to sleep on the couch?"

Lucia didn't think much about it and immediately nodded.

"Yes."

He smiled lightly, retaining a calm expression on his face as he observed her resolute attitude.He
nodded slightly, swept a glance at the couch, and said softly, "Okay, then I'll sleep on the couch."

After saying that, he went to the couch, bent down, and pressed an inconspicuous button on the side of
the couch.

Crack! The bottom layer of the couch popped out and he pulled it out with his hands.

It became a single bed after he pieced it together with the couch.

Lucia was initially surprised by his willingness to sleep on the couch and then shocked by his actions.

"You...you!"

She rented this apartment, and she didn't know that the couch could be converted into a bed, but
August did! August raised an eyebrow and didn't say anything.



Previously, as he was too busy with the company, he found it inconvenient to go back to the villa, so he
bought this small apartment nearby.

In terms of the furniture inside, he picked most of it himself, so he knew every detail.

Lucia had not yet recovered from the shock.

"August, how did you know this couch could be turned into a bed? I didn't even know..."

As August's face remained bland as ever, he casually said, "Because you never pay attention to the
things around you."

Lucia's cheeks suddenly turned red when she heard his words.

What did he mean by that? He was saying that she was careless, wasn't he? Gritting her teeth, Lucia
was a little angry.

As August took a back cushion from the side as his pillow, she became even more angry and
speechless.

She really did not expect that August would be willing to sleep on the couch to stay with her.

It seemed that even if she forced him to leave, he would never do so.

"Forget it.If you really want to sleep here, you can do so."

Lucia really didn't know what to do.

Leaving these words behind, she turned around and headed back to the bedroom.She locked the door
of her bedroom and lay down on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

Having someone sleep next door was a little strange, not to mention that person was August.



Lucia realized August was on the couch without anything to keep him warm after tossing and turning
for ten minutes.

Even though he had a "bed" now, as well as a back cushion being used as a pillow, he still lacked a
quilt.

During this season, the weather was not extremely cold, but it was very easy to catch a cold when
sleeping without a quilt at night.

Thinking of this, Lucia raised her hand and patted her head, feeling a little annoyed.She had nothing to
do with his business, right? Lucia pulled her quilt, turned around, and forced herself to fall asleep, but
couldn't stop thinking about it in her mind.

After a while, she still didn't fall asleep.

Eventually, she gritted her teeth, sat up, got up from the bed, opened the cabinet, pulled out a quilt, and
walked out.

August didn't fall asleep on the couch either.He turned to look at her when he heard the sound.

The woman was holding a quilt in her arms and seemed a little reluctant.

As she walked over, she laid the quilt aside, turned around, and left without saying a word.

A slight smile spread across August's face as he tucked him into the quilt while gazing at her stubborn
figure.

Lucia went back to her bedroom after the quilt was delivered.

Slowly, she let go of the things that were stuck in her mind.

After falling asleep not long after, she slept peacefully through the night.



Early the next morning, she was awakened by the vibrating sound of her mobile phone.

When she pressed the answer button sleepily, Paula Thomas's screaming filled the room.

"Lucia, look at the news! The Irene that I saw the last time I accompanied you to the company, her
scandal was exposed! I'm referring to what happened last night at the Greeves Family's birthday party,
you know?"

Lucia didn't understand what was going on after hearing all of her chatter.

She rubbed her eyes and asked in a slightly hoarse voice, "Paula, why won't you just let me sleep
well?"

"Are you still in the mood to sleep? I'm sure you won't feel sleepy after looking at the news!"

Lucia opened her eyes as Paula's exaggerated tone rang on the other end of the phone, replied
casually, and clicked on the link Paula sent.

After reading just one headline, Lucia instantly sobered up.

The news was about what happened between Ted Stebbing and Irene last night.

Immediately, she sat up, clicked for more information, and read the news quickly.

Lucia understood the general content of the news when she saw the words "catch adultery in the act"
and "mistress". Irene and Ted were naked in the picture, but their eyes and private parts were covered
with mosaics.

However, people were still able to recognize them.

As part of their plan, they pushed Irene into the room so Lilian Stebbing would misunderstand them.



What she didn't expect was that Irene and Ted had actually had sex.

"Lucia, how was it? Did you sober up instantly?"

Paula's voice rang out over the phone.

Lucia came to her senses and said softly, "Indeed..."

"She deserves it if you ask me.The last time she bullied you like that, this time it's really working off
your anger!"

Lucia didn't have the mood to hear Paula's chatter, so she casually answered with a few words.

"Paula, I've got something to do here, so I have to get off the phone now."

After saying that, she hung up the phone and walked out of the room directly.

August was already awake, and a few simple breakfast items were already on the table.

Sitting at the dining table, he flipped the tablet casually, appearing to read some documents.

Lucia took a deep breath, walked up, and asked, "Did you see the news?"

Upon hearing what she said, August glanced up, his gaze sweeping her lightly, and he replied, "Yes."

"Are those news photos processed?"

She knew that the reason why the news of this incident could appear on the front page of the headline
was that August was secretly pushing for it.

August paused flipping the tablet and looked at her, a trace of impatience appearing in his eyes.

"Do you think I am that kind of person?"



There was no need for him to do that.

Lucia wanted to say something but then stopped.

"But..."

Irene and Ted had sex, but how was that possible?
