Submit to the Boss He Rules the Boardroom and the Bedroom Chapter 279

Our Engagement May Not Happen

When Jeanne arrived at the Adams’ old house, she saw Christina sitting on the sofa as soon as she
walked in.

Seeing Jeanne, Christina smiled and stood up to say hello, "Jeanne, hello!"

Jeanne immediately stepped forward with a smile on her face and said, "Aunt Christina, I made tonic
soup, especially for August at home today."

Christina's face changed when she heard it and said, "August..."

Jeanne's heart tightened, and she quickly asked, "What happened to him?"

Christina sighed softly and said, "He left.He's not at home."

"What?"

Jeanne's eyes widened, "Isn't he still injured?"

"Well, Eliot asked that girl Lucia to leave our family and go to the hospital to recuperate.He was doing it
for her good, but somehow the news got to August, and he thought we were mean to her.He got angry
and left home."

She glanced at Jeanne’s pale face, and continued, "He probably went to find that secretary
girl.Anyway, he didn't answer the phone, and there was no news of him.I'm so worried!"

Jeanne's lips moved, and she forcibly maintained her calmness.She gritted her teeth and forced a
smile, "August didn't answer my call.ls he mad at me too?"



Christina pretended to be surprised, "How come? You are his girlfriend.Why wouldn't he contact you at
this time?"

Suddenly, Jeanne’s face became even gloomier.

After a moment, her eyes turned red and she sounded a bit aggrieved, "Aunt Christina, do you think
August doesn't want me anymore? He has been very close to that secretary recently.I know their
previous relationship.But since they broke up, why are they still attached?"

As she spoke, her tears kept falling.

Christina didn't know what to say when she saw her crying.

Suddenly, seeing the figure appearing at the entrance of the stairs, she raised her voice slightly, "Well, I
think August is fascinated by the secretary girl.You've known him for so long.He definitely wouldn't
choose that girl over you!"

Jeanne kept crying, "August said that he was getting engaged to me, but now he's seeing another
woman.I feel so sad..."

At this moment, there came a cold voice, "Who is he seeing?"

Jeanne froze.

As soon as she looked up, she saw Eliot with a serious face.He was standing at the entrance of the
stairs, holding a newspaper in his hand with a blue face.

Jeanne sniffed and said aggrievedly, "Uncle Eliot, I called August, but he didn't answer.He is very close
to that girl Lucia now, and our engagement may not happen..."

"Who says that?!"



Eliot was angry, "I'm his father.How dare he deny it?"

He walked towards Jeanne and said, "I've known you since you were a little girl, and I know your
family.Besides, you and August like each other.Since he promised you, he must keep his word.I'm not
going to let a strange woman marry into our family!"

Hearing his words, Jeanne was overjoyed, but she still cried, "Uncle Eliot, with your words, I feel at
ease."Eliot nodded slightly, "Okay, Christina, talk to Jeanne.It's getting late.Ask someone to take her
back later.As for my renegade son, I will go look for him in person tomorrow morning!"

Hearing this, Christina nodded immediately.She asked Jeanne to sit down on the sofa and let her drink
a cup of warm coffee to calm her down.

Jeanne glanced at the time and said, "Aunt Christina, it's getting late and I should go back."

Christina got up, walked her to the door, and waved to her, "Send me a message when you get home."

Jeanne nodded, smiled at her, and got into the car.

The car turned around and drove away from the old house.

Jeanne suddenly threw her bag to the back seat, and said angrily, "That bitch! She's something!"She
hadn't made it clear to Lucia.She hadn't expected that Lucia would lure August away with her injuries!
How could she not be angry?! Seeing this, Mark looked calm and said softly, "Miss, calm down"

"Take me home, and go check August's whereabouts immediately!"

Mark nodded and said nothing.

On the way back, the weather had become a bit bad.

Dark clouds were pressing down, and the wind was whistling.



When approaching the Kelly family’s house, Mark reminded softly, "Miss, there is a storm
tonight.Remember to close the windows."

Jeanne was so angry.She closed her eyes and leaned on the seat, and snorted lightly.

After driving her back to the Kelly family, Mark barely stopped and drove away.

In the distance, there was a rumbling sound, heralding the imminent storm.

Even so, Mark did not hesitate.

As long as it was Jeanne's instructions, he would have no complaints.

As expected, within an hour, it started pouring rain outside and the thunder was deafening.

On the hospital bed, August looked at the laptop in front of him with a serious expression.

Although he was injured, the urgent work in the company did ‘ot fall short.

After Burton came back from Figo City, he was directly arranged by August to work in the company.

August worked remotely from the hospital, and nothing would go wrong.

Those online comments that were not conducive to the Adams Group, after two days of hot
discussions, died down.

With the means of the Adams Group's public relations team, the situation was slowly improving.

It was just that stocks that had fallen were not so easy to recover.

Several projects had bee1 suspended one after another, which was a very difficult problem.



August raised his hand and pressed his eyebrows.He looked away from the screen, watched the
thunder and lightning outside, and unconsciously frowned.

Lucia probably had fallen asleep now.

He still remembered that when Lucia lived in the villa, she was very afraid on a day of thunder and rain
like this.

Once in the middle of the night when there was a thunderstorm, she got into his arms unconsciously
and curled up like a shivering hedgehog.

Now, she had no one by her side, and no one to rely on.His heart trembled.He took a deep breath,
hesitated for a moment, slowly got up, and got out of bed.He wondered if it was because the hospital's
sound insulation was not good.

Every time there was thunder, he could hear it loud and clear in the ward, and lightning lit up the cold
walls.It was really scary.

August walked out of the ward, walked directly to the next ward, and gently pushed the door open.

The room was pitch dark, and no other sound could be heard except for the thunder outside.

August walked over slowly.

With a flash of lightning, he vaguely saw the person huddled in bed.

Lucia was half-sitting, leaning against the head of the hospital bed.

With the quilt covering her and forming a small triangle, she seemed to be shaking slightly.

August's heart tightened.He stepped forward and pressed the switch on the head of the bed.



The room immediately lit up.

The person huddled under the quilt stopped moving.

After a few seconds, a corner of the quilt was lifted, revealing Lucia’s slightly pale face.

"Why did you come?"

"Are you afraid?"

August said in a deep voice, "I'll accompany you."

With that, he sat down on the edge of the bed and put his long arms around Lucia's shoulders.

Lucia was startled and she froze, "No...No, I'm not afraid.I just can't fall asleep."

She looked flustered and incoherent.

August chuckled.

Without saying a word, he stretched out his hands to straighten her curled legs, tucked her in, and said
in a softer voice, "I'll sleep with you today."
