Submit to the Boss He Rules the Boardroom and the Bedroom

Chapter 45

Now that the atmosphere had warmed up, the representative of the organizer was smart enough to stop asking further questions and show August other jewelry Seeing that the questioning session was over, quite a few of the beautiful ladies in the crowd were not satisfied and dispersed wistfully Lucia would have liked to keep following August, but she didn’t want to be so conspicuous when everyone else had dispersed.

After all, she had said before she came here that she wouldn’t make any trouble for him.

She stepped away to the side in a trance.

Just as she crossed the exhibition area and reached the long table, a dark figure suddenly rushed over and the next thing she knew, her arm was hit hard, In her high heels, Lucia stumbled and almost fell.

She tried hard to endure the pain.

Before she could straighten up, she heard an apology "Sorry, I’m sorry."

Lucia looked up and saw a uniformed waiter bowing at her as he apologized repeatedly.

She was going to say that it was okay when she noticed that people around were looking at her in a strange way.

She looked down to find a large brown and black stain on her dress.

In a panic, she noticed the glass that had dropped on the floor and the sweet, creamy smell that filled the air Only then did she realize that it was a chocolate drink! Lucia looked at the large stain on her dress and instantly flushed, feeling the stares from onlookers.

It was not a small stain that could be cleaned up easily.

With this, not only did her dress get dirty, but she would also lose face.

Just when she didn’t know what to do, the waiter next to her suddenly came forward.

"I’m really sorry.Let me wipe it for you!"

With that, he took a square towel and began to wipe it.

However, it was thick hot chocolate, which became more and more obvious.

As he wiped it, the stain got much larger.

Lucia frowned and hurriedly backed up. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

"No, please stop it."

But unexpectedly, the waiter refused to let go of her dress.

"Sorry, I will definitely clean it for you."

As he said that, he pulled the hem of her dress without hesitation.

Lucia had already found it hard to stand steadily.

When she was pulled like that, she lost her balance and fell directly backwards to the floor.

A loud cracking sound attracted the attention of more people.

Lucia had to endure the pain all over her body and slowly sat up, only to find that people around were all looking at her as if she were an alien.

Others were in groups of three or two, but she was alone.

Now, not only did she make a fool of herself, but her situation was made even worse by the fact that no one was helping her.

"Are you all right? Why did you fall off your feet?"

The waiter came up to help her hypocritically.

If others couldn’t tell what was going on, Lucia, as the one involved, knew exactly what he had just done.

She held back her anger and flung his hand away.

"Don’t you touch me!"

When she said that, more whispers came from the crowd around her.

However, all of them were watching, and none of them came forward to help.

On the other side, August was talking with someone from the organizer.

He looked over casually when he heard the noise.

Suddenly, he saw a familiar figure in gold and his eyes were immediately fixed.

Why did the figure stumbling to her feet look so much like Lucia? He knitted his brows, put down his glass quickly, and slightly raised his hand to stop the person who was talking to him.

"Excuse me."

With that, he stepped away on his long legs and strode toward the commotion Lucia stood up.

Despite the stinging pain in her elbows, she looked down at her evening dress, which was now even dirtier after she had just fallen onto the floor and got more hot chocolate on it.

She could easily tell that she must be a mess at the moment, without even thinking about it Luckily, August didn’t see it.She took a deep breath and wanted to hide in the bathroom, but she didn’t know where it was.

People around were all secretly looking at her with indifference and disdain.

"Hey, what the hell is going on?"

A voice suddenly came from the side.

It sounded like an unruly man, with a bit of anger.

Lucia looked over following the voice and saw Jamie coming up in a deep coffee colored suit.

He looked so aggressive as if he wanted to fight.

Before she could react, she saw him grab the waiter’s neck with a fierce look.

And he had a buzz cut now, which made him look less feminine and more like a cocky young man.

"I… I didn’t mean it."

The waiter was instantly scared out of his wits.

He lowered his head and spoke in a weak voice, not even daring to look at the man.

Jamie couldn’t help but curse.

"You didn’t mean it? Damn it, I didn’t mean to beat you, either!"

Seeing that he was about to slap the waiter, Lucia got anxious and quickly called out, "Jamie!"

Jamie suddenly stopped.

He let go of the waiter and shoved the man aside.

Then, He turned around to look at Lucia and said in a softer voice, "Let’s go.You need to change."

He had made such a scene.

More people were coming and watching.

Lucia was a little hesitant, not sure if she should follow him.

Suddenly, a face came into her sight.

It was August! Lucia’s grip on her dress immediately tightened and her face got even hotter.

He saw what a mess she was after all.

August saw Lucia in the crowd as soon as he got closer.

Seeing her like this, his eyes immediately turned colder and without saying a word, he pushed through the crowd and came toward her.

When she saw the man walking straight toward her, Lucia bit her lower lip and thought of the moment when he gave her the invitation.

She had said she wouldn’t cause him any trouble, but now if August came over and took her away, he would have to face questions from the media and speculation from the crowd.

Gritting her teeth, Lucia made up her mind.

She looked past August, turned around indifferently and said to Jamie in a soft voice, "Let’s go."

Jamie was a little surprised to see her sudden change of mind, but after only half a second, he curved his lips, reached out to grab her wrist, and pulled her out of the crowd.

August watched Lucia from behind.

His face suddenly darkened, and finally, his eyes were fixed on Jamie’s hand holding hers.He hadn’t expected that she would rather go with a man she had only met once than with him! When she was pulled to the side by Jamie, Lucia felt a lump in her throat and tears were welling up in her eyes.

"Let’s find a place where you can change.Wait here and I’ll get you a clean dress,"

With that, Jamie turned around and paused when he saw Lucia’s red eyes.

"Why are you crying? You’re so upset? Just wait and see.I’ll beat that guy up!"

The look on Jamie’s face changed immediately.He let go of her and pulled his sleeves up as if he was looking for a fight.

"No, Lucia spoke up quickly."It’s okay.I’m fine."

She raised her hand and casually wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

.

Jamie paused.

He was silent for a few seconds and then walked ahead, leading her to a lounge.

Once inside the lounge, Lucia locked the door behind her and tears poured out of her eyes uncontrollably, She did feel upset and aggrieved.

What made her feel even worse was that her relationship with August could not be unveiled.
