Submit to the Boss He Rules the Boardroom and the Bedroom Chapter 367

Chapter 367Chapter 367 Her Right-hand Man For her, Mark was nothing more than a subordinate.
"Yes, I do.
My lady"
Mark nodded, and when he did that, the long red scar on his forehead looked even more horrible, just
like a twisted centipede.
Jeanne couldn't bear such a scar anymore and took a step back subconsciously.
"Mark, maybe you have to change your haircut to hide the scar on your forehead.
It looks too scary for me..."
She said in disgust.
Something gloomy came and went in Mark's eyes when he heard what Jeanne had said.
"I'll do it as the lady says."
sucking a great draught of air he said.
Jeanne was satisfied with his obedience.
"This is where you live after being released?"
She gave a glance around the shabby room and said.
"Yeah, but I'll be at your service if you want me"
Mark answered stoutly."Not yet, the only thing you have to do now is to hide your identity."
Jeanne held that an arrow shot from hiding is difficult to guard against.
That's why she pulled out all the stops to free Mark! Then, she took a bank card out of her bag and put
it on the table.
"There are one hundred thousand dollars in it and the password is my birthday number.
It is for you.
Ask me for more if you run out of it."
"Mark seemed to be not happy with that money.
"My lady, there is no need..."
"Just take it as I say."
She seemed to run out of her patience.
Money is necessary if he wanted to run errands for her smooth and she is always generous to her
right-hand man.
Noticing Mark's frowned brows, Jeanne raised her hand and tapped him on his shoulder, saying softly,
"Mark, you are the only person I put trust in now, I hope you can lead a comfortable life after you have
suffered so much in prison, that's why I give you money.
Do you understand?"
Her words worked and Mark's eyebrows stretched at once.He nodded his head and smiled contentedly.
"I Know what you mean, my lady."
Jeanne smirked unpleasantly when she saw Mark's excitement.
Then she continued, "Lucia was back to Austos with her children, I need you to spy on her now!"
She had to know what she was up against.
And this time she would deal with her with extraordinary patience and endurance! She must rid Lucia
and her bastards once and for all! Meanwhile.
The black Maybach was driving across the city and headed for West Bridge silently.
A quick chirping of a cell phone broke the stillness.
It was Lucia’s phone.
On the screen was the name of Lucia's best friend Paula.
"Yep, Paula."
She picked up at once.
"Lucia, how's your working day?"
Paula's voice came from the other end of the phone clearly.
"And how about Janet and Timothy?"
"How's it going with your shooting?"Thinking of her lovely children sitting next to her, Lucia naturally beamed with happiness.
"They all do it great! The director invited them to shoot tomorrow."
She answered tenderly.
"Great! But where are you now?"
My treat today! Let's have beef steak!"
Lucia jerked her head up and look at August when she heard that.
She didn't know how to explain to Paula she was in the car of August.
She must freak if she knew that.
"What do you think?"
Paula asked again minutes later.
"Come on! Let us have no buts,"
she said firmly.
"You are coming!"
I have learned from Elijah Reed that you knocked off at 5:30."
Lucia signed helplessly at her words and finally cut in.
"Where are you now?"
"Starlight Plaza, right in the center of the city.""OK, send me your location, and we'll come to meet you soon,"
Lucia replied crisply.
However, Lucia received August's steady gaze the very moment that she hung up the phone.
Their eyes met across the car seat.
It was August who spoke first.
"Where are you going?"
His voice was pretty calm and, even dry.
Lucia opened and shut her mouth, a few seconds later, she looked out at the window and said, "Just
drop us over there, we have a rendezvous with Paula."
August subconsciously relaxed his eyebrows when he heard the name, Paula.
Then, he turned away to order Burton to turn the car around and steer to Starlight Plaza.
"Yes, Mr.Adams."
Burton Harris answered.
Lucia was about to meet Paula on foot for it was not far away from the Starlight Plaza now.
But August didn't give her a chance to say no and ordered Burton to drive there directly.
novelbinLucia had only to swallow the words of refusal helplessly.
He always took no account of her will.Let him be.
Mom, where are we going now?"
Timothy looked up at her and asked with his innocent eyes.
"We will go to meet your aunt Paula!"
Said Lucia tenderly.
"Yeah! That's great! Timothy almost kicked on his heels at the sound of that.
"Mom, Is Uncle Charming going with us?"
Tilting her little head, Janet asked in an adorable manner.
Lucia stiffened at her naive question.
She didn't know how to answer.
Waiting for no answer from Lucia, Janet thereupon turned to August and tugged at his sleeve to get his
attention.
"Uncle Charming, will you come with us?"
"I'd like to, but it depends on your mother."
August looked at her unblinkingly with an expressive smile.
Janet looked at Lucia with imploring eyes the instant that August finished his words.
"Mom, can he go with us?"Lucia's throat felt tight.
She didn't expect that August was such a wily man to throw the question back to her! How could a
mother say no to her dear daughter easily? But she had to be heartless this time.
She took her eyes off Janet to glance at August and said through gritted teeth, "Sorry, darling, but we
didn't let aunt Paula know ahead of time and it's aunt Paula's treat today.
I don't think it's appropriate to invite Uncle Charming to have dinner with aunt Paula together without
notice in advance.
Maybe next time! Ok?"
"Alright!"
Janet said, disappointed obviously.
Time passed quickly during their conversation and the car pulled over slowly.
Lucia got off first and then she carried down Janet and Timothy.
That done, she looked up and spoke, "Thank you for..."
Before she could finish her words of thanks, a cry of pure delight interrupted her, "Lucia!"
Paula threw herself at Lucia like the wind and held her hand tightly.
When she had a firm footing and took a close look at the people sitting in the car, her jaw sagged at
once.
August gave her an indifferent look and turned to Lucia, "Never mind, just ensure the performance in
filming tomorrow."Lucia curled the corner of her mouth up in a response to him.
As she was about to walk away with Paula hand in hand, she clapped eyes on Burton, who was looking
back and watching them steadily.
But his eyes were fixed on Paula past Lucia.
There were mixed looks in their eyes, which was beyond Lucia's description.
A few moments later, Paula took her eyes off Burton and wore a grim face.
"Let's go."
Then she left without a backward look.
A hint of embarrassment filled the air, Lucia could only pretend nothing had happened and keep up her
pace with Janet and Timothy after she had closed the car door quickly.
"Mom, What's wrong with aunt Paula?"
Who displeased her?"
Lucia didn't know how to answer their questions indeed.
But she was worrying for Paula actually since she was also thinking about the same questions with
Janet and Timothy in her mind.
Could it be that Paula still had a crush on Burton?
