Submit to the Boss He Rules the Boardroom and the Bedroom Chapter 336

Chapter 336Chapter 336 Life and Death
Lucia’s eyes widened in shock as she looked down at the sea.
When she woke up just now, the sea was just above her feet, but now, it was already up to her calves.
At this rate, two hours later, she would be completely submerged in seawater.
The place where she was tied was on the ladder of a lighthouse far away from shore.
Further up the ladder was safe, but with the rising tide, the ladder would be submerged, and then she
would drown.
Realizing this terrible result, Lucia's body felt cold, she turned her head to look at the driver and asked
through gritted teeth, "What the hell do you want?"
The driver laughed but didn't say anything.
He gave a signal to his subordinate, who immediately understood and handed him the phone with the
recorded video.
The driver did not panic and tapped the screen, a moment later, he smiled and looked at Lucia and
said, "You still have hope to live, I give you a chance, you can make a phone call now."
After Lucia heard those words, she frowned, and her felt more and more puzzled and confused.
If they really wanted her dead, then why would they give her a chance to save herself? Before Lucia
could get her mind around things, the man had already pointed the phone screen at her.
"But, you can only call him."Lucia raised her eyes and when she saw the contact displayed on the screen, her heart skipped a beat.
Surprisingly, it was August! She gritted her teeth and looked at the driver.
"What the hell do you want?"
The driver smiled and said unhurriedly, "Do you want to make the call or not? You have three minutes
to decide for yourself, if not, then you and the little baby in your womb will both be fed to the fish."
After hearing those words, Lucia closed her eyes in pain.
Despair, melancholy and sentimentality all arose in her heart.She couldn't calm down at all.She wanted
to live, she was just planning to start a new life, but now she had to face the choice of life and death...
"So, are you going to make the call or not?"
Lucia gritted her teeth and said with determination, "I'll make the call."
Even if it's for the sake of the child in her womb, she still had to fight to survive.
The driver smiled, raised his hand and dialed the phone and put it to Lucia's ear.
As she listened to the phone ring, Lucia closed her eyes in pain.
novelbinSuddenly, the phone was connected, a man’s voice sounded on the other end of the line.
"Hello?"
Lucia’s body trembled, took a deep breath and said, "August..."
Lucia’s throat tightened, she paused, gritted her teeth and said the rest of the words, "Help me..."
The man on the other end obviously stalled for a moment, and soon, he spoke, "Where are you?"Before Lucia was able to speak, the phone had been taken away, the driver moved sharply to hang up
the phone, and then send the video that was just taken.
After doing all this, he looked at Lucia, his smile was cold and seeping.
"Ms.Mitchell, you'll have to wait alone from now on."
He raised his chin at his men, who immediately understood, started the speedboat, and turned around.
Lucia was startled and said in a hurry, "Don't go!"
They left, were they going to leave her here alone? Lucia’s voice was instantly blown away by the wind.
She struggled hard but could not break free, and could only watch the speedboat headed towards the
coast.
Lucia's nose was sore, tears trickled down her face.
Would there be someone coming to her rescue now? At the same time, on the main road of Austos
City, a black car suddenly braked sharply.
The tyres screeched and it rubbed against the ground.
August, who was on the driver’s seat furrowed his brows.
He immediately pulled the car to the side of the road and dialed the number that he had just received a
call from.
In a few seconds, a strange sound came from the other end of the line, and the call was hung up
before it was connected.
August furrowed his brows even more.At that moment, he suddenly received a new message.
When he opened, he saw that it was a video.
In the video, Lucia was tied to a ladder, and the waves were all around her, she looked very weak, and
said with wide eyes, "What the hell do you want?"
Next to her, a processed voice sounded.
"Ms.Mitchell, I came over here to tell you that the tide has now begun to rise..."
August's hand which was holding the phone unconsciously tightened, his eyes abruptly sank, and the
veins on his arm flared up.
Who on earth, dared to lay hands on Lucia? Suddenly, the phone rang again and a message came.
"It must be interesting to watch this woman die slowly."
Instantly, August's back stiffened, the anger at the bottom of his eyes tumbled up like a wave, and a
cold aura radiated from his body.
Two seconds later, he started the car, stepped on the gas, and turned the car around.He headed
towards the sea on the east side of Austos City.He knew where that lighthouse was because ten years
ago, he almost lost his life there.
August stepped on the gas as hard as he could, but still felt he was going too slowly.
Suddenly, his phone rang, August pressed the answer and Joshua's voice came from the other end of
the line.
"August, where are you now?"Changing from his usual casual tone, Joshua's tone was a little serious.
August furrowed his brows and said in a deep voice, "Something has happened, you guys keep to the
plan."
Joshua paused for half a second and asked, "What's wrong?"
August answered, "Follow the original plan, I will try to over as soon as I can."
After saying that, August hung up.
On one side, it was a matter of life and death, and on the other side, was an urgent matter.He couldn't
give up on either side.
The best August could do now was let Joshua and Charlotte solve the matter on the other side, and
now he must rush over to save Lucia.
The car drove quickly to the east coastline of Austos City, August parked the car outside the beach,
pushed the door and got out, and walked quickly towards the lighthouse.
In the distance, he saw the flashing light lighthouse, and his heart was suddenly a little dull.
Just looking at the sea over there, made August feel like he couldn't breathe.He clenched his fist,
gritted his teeth, and walked quickly toward the sea.
At this time, except for him, no one could save Lucia.
The sky was very dark and heavy, the clouds in the sky were sinking downwards, the whole
atmosphere was low and depressing.
There was no one else on the beach except for August.August's eyes darkened a little when he saw the cold waves hitting the beach.
He paused for a few seconds, then took his jacket off and dived into the sea.
The moment he was wrapped in the cold seawater, August felt like he couldn't breathe, a sense of
suffocation slowly arose, so he could not help but frown.
When he felt that his body limbs slowly became weak, a voice deep in his mind sounded.
"August, you must hold on! She is still waiting for you!"
He gritted his teeth, plucked away the waves with his long arms and swam forward quickly.
Lucia was still waiting for him! He must go save her! Meanwhile, over at the lighthouse, the cold
seawater had already passed Lucia's waist, and she was drenched in cold water.
Looking at the dim and boundless sea in the distance, her sense of survival was growing weaker and
weaker.
The coolness slowly seeped into her body through the breeze and water, and she couldn't help but
shiver at first, until later both legs were numb from the cold.
The little flame of hope in Lucia's heart slowly went out as she looked at the sea which hadn't changed
at all.
To Lucia, August was probably not coming to save her.
A thought like this was a like a bucket of eyes, putting out all flares of hope.
Lucia could only feel coldness in her heart...
