Lucia thought about the scene where she had put the ice bag on Jamie just now and found
it a little too intimate.
After all, August was her lawful husband.
But coincidentally, he happened to see it.
With a sigh of helplessness, Lucia had to turn around and walk toward the lounge next to the reception
room.
In the reception room, August sat across from Jamie with a poker face, showing no signs of happiness
or anger.
Jamie lazily leaned back on the couch, holding the ice bag on his burnt arm, with a smile in his eyes.
"Mr.Adams, I have been waiting for you so long and I even got injured."
His assistant at the side couldn’t stand it anymore and quickly said respectfully, "I’m sorry Mr.Adams,
but Mr.Nordhaus has an unruly personality.
Please don’t take it personally.
This time, we came here specifically to talk with you about cooperation."
August glanced at Jamie who was opposite him and said in a light voice, "Sorry, but I don’t think you’re
taking it seriously.
I don’t have much time, so let’s wait until you are ready to cooperate."
With that, he got up and buttoned up his suit coat with one hand while stepping toward the outside.
"Mr.Adams, please wait a minute!"
Jamie’s assistant was so worried that he immediately jumped up and run over to hand August the
documents.
Jamie didn’t think it was a big deal.
He grinned and teased, "Trayden, just forget it if he doesn’t think we’re sincere! Anyway, it’s not like I
didn’t get anything out of this trip, but I met a cute and interesting girl!"
At the door, August frowned hard as soon as he heard that.
He turned around and stared at the unrestrained man on the couch, saying word by word, "Don’t you
touch her."
"Why not?"
Jamie suddenly got aggressive.
"Are you trying to work against me.
Mr.Adams?"
August said with his thin lips slightly parted and a cold light bursting out from his eyes, "There is no
reason.
You just can’t touch her."
Dropping those words coldly, he turned around without hesitation and walked out without taking a
second look at the documents in front of him.
Jamie’s assistant Trayden sighed, "Why did you do that, Mr.Nordhaus? What am I going to tell your
father?"
Jamie raised an eyebrow.
"Don’t worry.
I won’t make it difficult for you."
With that, he stared at the door and muttered, "Anyway, I’ve got a crush on that girl!"
1 August walked out of the reception room with a sullen look on his face.
Seeing that, Burton came up and asked, "What’s wrong, Mr.Adams?"
August asked directly, "Where is Lucia?"
Burton said gently, "Right in the lounge next door."
Hearing that, August paused.
Then, he immediately turned around and walked to the lounge.
When he got to the door, he directly pushed it open and went in.
Seeing Lucia, who was sitting uneasily on the couch, he didn’t hesitate to close the door behind him
and lock it.
Lucia saw what August was doing and her heart sank with the sound of the lock clicking.
She hastily got up.
"… just accidentally burned Mr.Nordhaus, so I took an ice bag and put it on him."
She was explaining, but August didn’t have any intention to stop.
He walked over straight away and slowly approached her Lucia held her breath and slowly leaned
back, unable to stop her panic.
August said in a deep voice, "Do you remember who you are?"
Lucia was confused.
"Huh?"
August found it quite annoying when he thought of what he had just seen.
"You are a married woman now, so keep your distance from other men, okay?"
Besides, Jamie was a playboy He hung around with a different woman almost every day.
Many young models and starlets had ended up as his targets Lucia would definitely suffer if she had
more contact with him.
Lucia stared at the man’s dark eyes, nodding in a daze,"
know."
August knitted his brows and said in a deep voice, "I don’t want to see this kind of thing again in the
future!"
He sounded a bit commanding and Lucia trembled, unable to say anything, Thinking of the man’s
attitude toward her last night, Lucla felt so bad that a lump came into her throat.
She lowered her head and unconsciously shook her shoulders slightly.
"I won’t do it again."
Seeing that the woman’s eyes suddenly turned red, August frowned and steeled himself to step out of
the room 2 At the door, Burton saw August coming out with a grim look on his face while Lucia stood in
the room, looking aggrieved and pitiful.
He hesitated and then hurriedly followed after August.
"What’s wrong with her, Mr.Adams?"
August shot him a cold glance.
"Mind your own business."
Burton immediately stopped talking and asked no more questions, August kept thinking about the
aggrieved look on Lucia’s face as he walked forward.
He didn’t want to be so mean to her, but if he was too nice to her, he was afraid that he wouldn’t have
the heart to talk to her about… It’s better to have short, sharp pains than long, dull pains.
He might as well be cruel to her from the beginning Lucia was gloomy in the lounge for quite a while
before she slowly came back to her senses.
She sniffled and walked out She couldn’t figure out why August had suddenly changed his attitude
toward her.
He was getting increasingly serious and insensitive, making her feel strange.
However, she knew he was not that kind of man.
With a soft sigh, Lucia walked forward with a heavy heart, completely unaware of the man nearby.
"Ahem! Lucia!"
A male voice suddenly came with a rising tone, sounding somewhat pompous Lucia raised her eyes
and was startled to see Jamie standing against the railing.
Why was he still here? Jamie smiled at once when he saw the look of confusion on Lucia’s face.
"You’re wondering why I’m still here?"
He stepped forward with a smile and then said, "Because I’m… waiting for you."
Although Lucia admitted to herself that Jamie was good-looking, she couldn’t help but get goose
bumps when she heard him say that.
Thinking about what August had just said, she took a deep breath, put on a proper face, and said
seriously, "We just met, Mr.Nordhaus.
And I have got work to do, so excuse me."
With that, she stepped to leave.
Seeing that, Jamie roguishly strode over and blocked her way, "Why are you so cold, Lucia? I just want
to ask you out for dinner."
Lucia took a deep breath and said seriously, "Sorry, I am already married."
With that, she raised her left hand.
Jamie glanced at it and saw the ring on her ring finger.
He was a little surprised.
She was married? By the time he came back from the shock, Lucia had already disappeared.
Trayden, his assistant, saw that at the side and said, "Now you can forget about it, Mr.Nordhaus!"
Jamie paused and suddenly said in a serious manner, "No way!"
With that, he turned to Trayden.
"Go find out who and when she married."
He had finally met a girl he was interested in, only to find that she was already married.
Was God playing a joke on him? Trayden said helplessly, "I think you’d better stop, Mr.Nordhaus!"
Jamie stubbornly sneered, "No! I’d like to see what kind of man her husband is!"
He had never failed to get the women he had his eye on.
More than that, this time he had met a woman he was interested in.
