Chapter 046
After a while, she stopped crying and wiped her tears.
Just then, there was a knock at the door "Open the door for the dress."
Lucia opened the door and saw Jamie handing over a little dress, "This is a dress the organizer
prepared.It’s clean.Check the size."
Lucia took a look. It was an M.just right for her She took the dress and found that Jamie was not so
unpleasant when she looked at him again, "Thanks.”
Hearing that, Jamie raised his eyebrows.
"There is no need to say thanks between you and me."
Lucia was surprised.
Were they close enough? At this point, she was not in the mood to look deeper into his words.
She closed the door behind her, locked it, and then began to change.
This little white dress was a most ordinary and simple one and it’s her size.
Although it wasn’t gorgeous, it was much better than going out in her dirty dress.
She folded up her dress and put it in a bag before pushing open the door to get out of the room.
At the door, Jamie leaned lazily against the wall.
When he saw Lucia coming out, a smile appeared on his face Lucia took a deep breath.
She couldn’t resist the urge to say thank you again.
"Mr.Nordhaus…"
Jamie frowned at the way she called him.
He interrupted her with some dissatisfaction.
"Didn’t you just call me by my name? Why are you changing your mind so quickly?"
Lucia twitched her lips, not knowing what to say in reply.
"From now on, just call me by my first name."
With that, Jamie suddenly took two steps forward, directly approaching her, and smiled.
"Let’s go.It’s so boring here.I’ll take you to dinner."
Lucia took a deep breath and said softly, "I’d better go home."
Jamie raised his eyebrows and teased her.
"Lucia, do you have the heart to refuse me a second time?"
Looking back on his long history of love affairs, he had never been rejected by a woman more than
twice.
Lucia said word by word, "Sorry, but I’m already married.What she meant was that she was married
and would not accept flirtation.
Hearing that, Jamie looked at her meaningfully.
"But your husband isn’t so competent.He watched you being bullied and didn’t do anything about it."
Lucia stiffened at once.She looked up at him incredulously.
"You… you know?"
"I’II know anything if I want to."
Jamie paused.
"But I was surprised when I first learned of your relationship with August When the word "August" came
out of his mouth, Lucia was even more nervous She had never expected that Jamie would find out
about her relationship with August.
Lucia breathed heavily.
She stared at him and said seriously, "Please don’t tell anyone else about this."
Jamie curled his lips and said deliberately.
"Why not? It’s not something to be ashamed of."
Lucia got a little anxious.
"Anyway, just don’t!"
Jamie found it more interesting when he saw how annoyed the woman was.
"Then you have to promise me one thing."
Lucia took a deep breath.
"You name it."
"Have a meal with me.It’s okay if you can’t do it today.You can take a rain check, but you mustn’t
renege on it,or else…"
He drawled deliberately.
Lucia got impulsive and immediately said without thinking about it, "Okay, I promise you!"
At this point, what she feared most was that Jamie would talk about her relationship with August
everywhere, That would cause August a lot of trouble.
Seeing that she agreed, Jamie raised his eyebrows.
"Then it’s a deal."
Lucia nodded her head and replied, "Hmm."
Now, she had no choice but to do what he wanted When Jamie left.
Lucia went back to the exhibition area.
The atmosphere inside the venue was exciting, and everyone gathered in the innermost jewelry
section.
Next to the huge showcase was a gemstone sculpture, where everyone would take pictures for the final
part of 2 the event Lucia stood at the side, watching them going over there in groups, and a trace of
despondency swept through her heart She was alone, so it would be better for her to leave.
When she turned around, a group of people happened to be walking over.
August was at the front between the representative of the organizer and Adeline Jones, the celebrity
spokesperson for the jewelry.
Adeline walked side by side with August.
After a few steps, she suddenly smiled and said something in August’s ear.
Then, August curved his lips into a smile.
Lucia watched them as they talked and smiled.
She unconsciously clutched her dress, feeling upset inside.
Seeing that they were about to come over, she took a step back to make way for them.
Suddenly, August seemed to sense something and turned around to look at her.
Lucia’s body instantly tensed up when she saw the man turning to her, but unexpectedly, August only
gave her a glance and looked away without any hesitation.
Lucia didn’t relax until she saw them walk by in front of her.
Looking at the man from behind, she bit her lip and felt a lot of emotions in her heart.
Just now, he looked at her as if she were a stranger he had never met before and he didn’t fix his eyes
on her for even one more second.
For some reason, Lucia couldn’t help but feel disappointed when she thought of the way the man
looked at her.
She sniffled and stepped out.
Outside, it was raining and the sky was horribly overcast, but she didn’t know it at all until she came out
of the venue.
The entrance, which had been luxurious and spectacular when she arrived, was now a somewhat
cheerless place.
Lucia took a deep breath and watched as some people got out of the venue and left in their cars, while
she was standing alone at the entrance.
She picked up her phone and tried to hail a taxi online, only to find that there were dozens of people
waiting before her, and it would take a long time to get her turn Lucia stared at the heavy rain outside,
wondering what to do when a staff member suddenly approached her.
"Here’s an umbrella for you, Miss."
Looking at the white transparent umbrella in front of her, Lucia was moved and reached out to take it.
"Thank you."
With the umbrella, Lucia went down the steps.
The wind was so strong that she got wet from the rain before she could go far.
Despite that, she just wanted to stop a taxi by the road.
She waited for quite a while, but there were only a few taxis and they were all occupied.
Lucia stood there.
Although she had an umbrella, she was almost soaked now.
Not far away, a car was slowly moving forward at the exit of the underground garage.
In the driver’s seat Burton saw a familiar figure.
He turned around quickly and said, "Mis Adams is over there, Sir."
August looked out of the window toward where Burton was pointing al and saw the hazy, single figure
in the rain.
He frowned slightly and paused for two seconds before looking back "Just drive."
Burton couldn’t help but ask again, "Shall we take her back with us?"
August looked up at him and said in a colder voice, "Drive."
At once.
Burton stopped saying anything.
He stepped on the gas and focused on driving The car went down the main road, farther and farther
away from the Starlight August felt annoyed and tossed his tablet aside.
All that flashed through his mind was the scene of Lucia leaving with Jamie, He was upset and had an
indescribable feeling.
But now, he couldn’t bear to think of her trying to hail a taxi in the rain, After a moment of silence,
August suddenly ordered in a deep voice, "Turn around"
How could he leave her alone there?
