Submit to the Boss He Rules the Boardroom and the Bedroom Chapter 384

Chapter 384Chapter 384 You'd Better Make up Your Mind After hesitating for a moment, Lucia gritted her teeth and
followed August out of the ward.
Closing the door, she looked at August's broad back and stopped him, "August, wait a minute."
August paused, turned his head, and looked at her.
Lucia took a deep breath, stepped forward, and said, "Thank you for coming today."
August blinked.
He paused, glanced at Lucia's face, and said, "Sincerely?"
Lucia was slightly startled.
She looked up at him, and said softly after a few seconds, "Yes, sincerely."
He had made Janet happy and she was very grateful to him for that alone.
They fell silent.
Suddenly, August thought of something.
He walked towards her, looked down at her, and said coldly, "If you're good to Janet, you'd better make
up your mind."
Lucia frowned slightly.
Before she could speak, August continued, "At least, don't mess around."
His words hit Lucia hard in the face.She was puzzled at first.
But two seconds later, she suddenly realized what he meant.
The last time he had met her and Jonathan was in the teahouse.
A few days later, outside the surveillance room of the safari park, Paul had come over and taken her
away.
It turned out that August thought she was seeing them both! Lucia somehow felt annoyed.
She looked up and saw him turn to leave.
She got angry and ran after him.
"August!"
She was already blushing when she caught up, "Don't worry.
Paul and I have a very good relationship, and no man can get between us.
Timothy and Janet will also grow up in a complete family.
None of this is something you need to worry about."
Out of anger, she said this in one breath.
She wasn't certain whether she wanted to clarify herself or simply wanted to vent her anger.
August lowered his eyes, looked at her, narrowed his eyes, and said with a faint smile, "Really? Are
you so confident in your relationship?"
Lucia replied without hesitation, "I'm very confident.""Really?"
August snorted coldly.
He suddenly grabbed her wrist and pushed her back.
The next second, she was pushed against the wall, and her hands were also pressed against the wall
by his big hands.
Lucia paled in shock and said, "What...what are you doing?!"
August lowered his head and suddenly leaned closer.
He fixed his eyes on her, motionless.
With such a misleading posture and the close distance between them, the atmosphere instantly
became ambiguous.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
Lucia's heart was beating faster and faster! She could hear her heartbeat.
Suddenly, August smiled and said mockingly, "Didn't you say that no man can get between you? But
your heart is racing now.
Lucia, do you still like me?"
Hearing his words, Lucia's face instantly changed.
She was slightly startled, and her face paled a bit.
She opened her mouth, but couldn't make a sound.August sneered and said word by word, "Don't be certain.
If I want to slap you in the face, there are plenty of ways."
With that, he raised his head slightly, and his chin rubbed the tip of her nose slightly.
Lucia instantly felt that her body was on fire.
But the next second, the restraint on his wrists suddenly loosened.
August turned around and strode away, his back tall and straight.
Lucia froze in place for a long time.
August's behaviors and words just now were inexplicably addictive and irresistible.
She didn't know how long it took before she reacted suddenly.
She hurriedly raised her hand and patted her cheek, trying to wake herself up! She didn't care whether
August had any magic power or not.
In short, she must restrain herself and never fall for his tricks! Back in the ward, she found Janet was
fast asleep.
Lucia breathed a sigh of relief, sat down on the chair in the room, took out her phone, and flipped
through it.
In the past few days, she had been taking care of Janet in the ward, but she had not forgotten the
investigation.
Now, the murderer was uncertain, and she naturally couldn't be relieved.If they attacked Timothy and Janet again, it would be even more difficult to guard against.
Just thinking about it, Lucia felt a chill down her spine.
She gritted her teeth, got up, walked out of the ward, and made a phone call.
Soon, it was answered.
Lucia took a deep breath and asked, "Hello? Paul, have you found out anything about Mark?"
"Yes, I just confirmed.
The prison said that because he behaved well in prison, he was bailed out.
He has been released ahead of time."
Lucia suddenly tightened her grip on the phone and said, "What?"
Although she had always suspected that Ewan was Mark, she still found it unacceptable after things
were confirmed step by step.
It had been five years.
Even if there were deep grudges between them, they should have toned down.
But as soon as Mark was released from prison, he immediately attacked Janet.
She didn't dare to think more about such a terrible person.
Could it be that this time it was still ordered by Jeanne? Lucia trembled in fright.
At this moment, Paul's voice came from the other end of the phone, "I think the person in the photo
should be Mark."Lucia took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.
After a few seconds, she asked, "Is there a way to catch him?"
"I've already sent someone to investigate."
But Lucia was still uneasy.
Paul noticed it, and immediately continued, "Don't be afraid, Lucia, I'll go to the hospital to see you now,
and we'll talk face to face."
Lucia agreed, "Okay."
She hung up the phone, only to realize that her palms were sweating.
Half an hour later, Paul rushed to the hospital and explained the situation to Lucia.
It turned out that Mark had been released from prison only a few days ago.
When the various traces were compared, Mark was indeed the biggest suspect.
Lucia gritted her teeth and wrung her hands, feeling more and more uneasy.
Paul suddenly raised his hand and put his arm around her shoulder, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Lucia nodded and said nothing.
"Oh, there is one more thing.
In a few days, it will be the birthday party of Mrs.Olivia Adams.
Today, the invitation card was sent to the company to invite us over.If you don't want to go, I will let my assistant turn it down."
Lucia's face darkened, and a kind face suddenly flashed in her mind.
novelbinShe hadn't seen Grandma for more than five years, and she wondered how she was doing now.
Seeing Lucia’s hesitation, Paul asked thoughtfully, "Do you want to go?"
Lucia thought for a while, and finally couldn't help nodding her head and said softly, "I'll go."
Grandma used to treat her as her granddaughter.
Now that she was in Austos City, Lucia thought she should find a chance to visit her.
Suddenly, there was a scream from the ward.
Lucia's heart tightened, and she rushed in quickly.
When the door was pushed open, Lucia saw Janet kicking, crying, and shouting on the bed.
Janet was having a nightmare.
She immediately ran forward and hugged Janet, "Janet, what's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?"
"I'm here.
Don't be afraid..."
"Dear, don't be afraid..."
She kept comforting Janet.
After a moment, Janet slowly regained her composure and continued to fall asleep.This situation had occurred several times in recent days.
Every time she saw Janet having nightmares and crying and shouting, she was heartbroken.
