Submit to the Boss He Rules the Boardroom and the Bedroom Chapter 147

For two days before she left for Franksfurt, Lucia was very busy.

In addition to her work during the day, she had to pack her things at night when she returned to her
apartment.

On top of that, she had to take time to visit Mr.and Mrs.Mitchell in the hospital.

Traveling between the company, the hospital, and her apartment, she couldn't get a good rest at all.

The day before she left, all the necessary preparations were almost finished, and Lucia finally had
some time to take a break.

However, she suddenly received a call from Kirk.

When Kirk was taken to the hospital last time, she called to inquire about his injuries and felt a little
relieved to learn that there was nothing serious.

Now Kirk was out of the hospital and asked her to go out for dinner.

Because of what had happened at Weske last time, she couldn't refuse him straight away, so she
thought about it and agreed.

"Then let's do it tonight.

Do you mind if I invite Paula to come along, as we are all old classmates?"

When she said that, Kirk obviously paused for half a second at the other end before he said gently,
"No.It would be great."



Lucia was relieved to hear that and chatted with him for a few more minutes before hanging up the
phone.

The reason why she wanted to have Paula with them was that she could imagine how awkward it
would be for her and Kirk to have dinner alone.

Therefore, she decided to bring Paula along after thinking about it.

Lucia held her phone and called Paula.

When she explained what was going on, Paula couldn't help but laugh at the other end.

"Lucia, Kirk asked you to dinner and you want me to join you.You're trying to make me a third wheel,
aren't you?"

Lucia said frankly, "I just think it would be awkward for me to have dinner with him alone.That's why I
called you."

Paula said deliberately when she heard that, "No way.I’m not that insensitive!"

Hearing that, Lucia pretended to be sad and said, "Please do me the favor, Paula.Without you, I'll be
terribly embarrassed."

After all, she hadn't seen Kirk for years, so she couldn't even imagine what it would be like if they
suddenly had dinner together alone.

At the other end, Paula laughed mischievously upon hearing that.

"I'll surely be there! I was just joking.How could I leave you alone in such a situation?"

Lucia was relieved to hear that.



After chatting with Paula for a few more minutes, she hung up the phone, put it down, and went back to
work.

Soon, it was time to leave work.

Lucia had agreed with Paula that Paula would come to the company for her and then the two of them
would go and meet Kirk at the restaurant where he had booked a table.

However, she had just packed her things when Kirk's call came in before she could leave her office.

"Hello, Lucia, are you off work yet? I’m outside your company now."

When she heard Kirk say that, Lucia froze, apparently not expecting him to come directly to pick her
up.

After two seconds, she slowly came to her senses.

"Yes, I'm...off work.You’re downstairs?"

Kirk's voice was warm and nice, sounding patient.

"Yes, I'm at the entrance of the Lion Group.I'll meet you here."

Hearing that, Lucia unconsciously felt a little bit worried.

She had just gotten off work when Kirk’s call came in, which meant that he must have arrived in
advance and had been waiting for her.

Lucia had no time to think anymore, so she immediately said, "Okay, I'll be right down."

After hanging up the phone, she took her things and went downstairs.



When she reached the entrance, she saw Kirk dressed in a formal suit and holding a small bouquet of
flowers in his hand.

Usually, when a man showed up in the street like this, he was either trying to confess or propose, so
she suddenly got nervous.

Lucia took a deep breath, having a bad feeling in her heart.

He wasn't going to give her the flowers in his hand, was he? It was rush hour, and the employees of the
company were coming and going, so those from her department might see what was going on here.

However, at this point, she had no choice but to do what she had to do.

She walked up to him quickly and said gently, "Kirk."

At the sound of her voice, Kirk turned around and smiled as soon as he saw her.He stepped forward,
handing her the flowers in his hand.

"Lucia, they're for you."

Lucia looked at the flowers in his hand.

She was still a bit hesitant and asked with a smile, "Why are you giving me flowers all of a sudden?"

Kirk looked a little shy.He smiled and said softly, "I saw a flower vendor by the road when I came over,
and I thought they looked nice, so I bought some."

When she heard him say that, Lucia was secretly relieved.

She reached out to take the flowers and said gently, "Just now, Paula told me that she was on her way.I
think she'll be here soon."



Kirk nodded.

"I see.My car is down there.Let’s get in and wait for her."

Lucia naturally agreed.

She and Kirk were standing here, and she had a bouquet of flowers in her hand.

It was quite conspicuous, so they might as well get in the car now to avoid being seen and gossiped
about by those from her department.

She started to walk down the steps with Kirk.

No sooner had they reached the car than Kirk opened the door for her to get in.

Lucia nodded slightly at him and said gently, "Thank you."

She was about to get into the car when she suddenly felt a cold gaze coming from the side.

She paused and subconsciously turned to look over.

To her surprise, she saw a black Maybach parked a short distance away and the man in a black suit
standing next to it.

Lucia’s heart involuntarily skipped a beat.

Seeing August's cold eyes and sullen face, she got inexplicably nervous.

She had never expected such a coincidence that he happened to see her while she was getting into
Kirk's car with a bouquet of flowers.

Meanwhile, August went on like that.



His dark, deep eyes were fixed on her, looking sullen and ambiguous.

He was waiting to see if she would get into Kirk’s car.

With him watching her, Lucia was inexplicably flustered, feeling that all her emotions had nowhere to
hide as if she would be doing something wrong by getting into the car.

Standing next to her, Kirk sensed something wrong.

He looked at August and then turned to Lucia, saying softly, "Lucia..."

Lucia came back to her senses and thought about it.

She wasn't in a relationship with August, so why should she care what he thought? Thinking of what he
had done, she was so angry that she turned her head away, smiled sweetly at Kirk, and got into the car
without hesitation.

On the other side, August suddenly got annoyed when he saw what the woman was like.

She was so desperate that she would accept any man? Burton noticed something wrong and hurried
over to warn, "It’s time to go, Mr.Adams.We have a plane to catch."

August's eyebrows furrowed.

He looked away without saying anything, pulled open the door to get into his car, and slammed it shut
behind him.

In Kirk's car, Lucia saw the unhappy look on August's face and felt a sudden sense of pleasure, but as
she watched the Maybach start up and pull away, she was left with an empty feeling in her heart.

It didn't take long for Paula to arrive.



The three of them went to the restaurant together, but Lucia just couldn't cheer herself up.

Over the dinner, all she could think about was the look on August's face before he got into his car.

At the dinner table, Paula finally couldn't stand it anymore and asked, "Lucia, what's wrong with you?
Why do you look like you've lost your soul?"
