Chapter 092
Lucia bit his lip so hard that August grimaced in pain and reflexively shrank back a little.
Lucia found the right moment and shoved him away with a strong push.
She took the opportunity to turn around, opened the door, and ran straight out of the store.
August’s frown deepened.
Despite the pain in the corner of his lip, he stepped forward to go after her at once, caught up with her
after two or three steps, and reached out to grab her wrist.
"let go of me!"
Lucia was pulled to a halt and looked back at August.
Her eyes were red with anger.
She had just made up her mind to stop getting entangled with him and start a new life, but she hadn’t
expected that he would refuse to let her go! The tears in her eyes wrenched at August’s heart, but his
anger hadn’t dissipated.
He moved closer to her and said in a deep and husky voice, "Come back with me.
I have something to tell you."
"No!"
Lucia simply refused without even thinking about it.
She knew very well that now she and August had no relationship other than voice with a bit of anxiety
came frorn not far behind.
"Lucia!"
He subconsciously turned around and saw Paul running over.
His face abruptly darkened.
It was the same man that he had seen with Lucia outside the company last time! Simmering with rage,
man approached and his face clouded over with anger.
"Let go of me, August!"
When she saw Paul approaching, Lucia got a little anxious instantly and started to struggle, only to find
that she couldn’t break free.
at August and said in a deep voice, "Let go of her!"
"Why?"
August raised his eyebrows and stared at Paul with his sullen eyes.
"What’s your relationship with her?"
’Just let go!"
Paul frowned.
He was obviously angry too.
Hearing that, August knitted his brows, not wanting to say anything more to Paul.
He turned around and pulled Lucia towards the other side.
"Stop right there!"
Paul strode forward and held August’s shoulder, looking equally serious and cold.
"Let go of Lucia!"
August turned his head sideways.
With an obvious cold look in his eyes, he asked word by word, "What if I don’t?"
Lucia, who was standing beside August, could clearly feel the temperature around the man’s body
drop.
Seeing his clenched fists and bulging veins, she could almost guess what he wanted to do! If Paul
didn’t get out of the way, she was afraid that August would punch him.
Lucia gritted her teeth and said in a raised voice, "Let go of me, was so anxious that she didn’t think
about the impact when she pulled her wrist out of the man’s hand with all her strength.
As a result of inertia, her arm was thrown her arm hit a sharp corner of the trash can.
It left a bloody scratch on her forearm, Next to her, August heard the sound and immediately turned to
look at her.
His eyes He stepped over and tried to grab her arm, but Lucia took a step back to keep a distance from
him.
"Lucia..."
August’s heart skipped a beat.
He was trying to say that he would take her to the hospital when she said before he could, "Mind your
own business."
Looking at the detachment and coldness surging in the woman’s eyes, August moved his lips, not able
to say a word.
Did she really hate him that much? Seeing this, Paul immediately walked forward.
He took a look at the scratch on Lucia’s arm, frowned, and said at bnce, "It needs to be treated, Lucia,
Let’s go to the hospital."
Lucia averted her gaze from August and took a look at the scratch on Lucia’s arm.
He frowned and couldn’t help but ask, "How did this happen? It’s so swollen, but luckily it didn’t reach
the bone."
Lucia had a complicated expression.
Faced with the doctor’s question, she just smiled apologetically, not in the mood to answer him.
The doctor nimbly disinfected the scratch, bandaged it, and then instructed Paul next or seafood.
Remember it, and be careful.
It can leave a scar if the same thing happens again."
Hearing that, Paul didn’t try to explain their relationship.
He nodded at the stepped out.
help but frown.
She would surely get a scolding if Mrs.Mitchell saw her like this.
When Paul saw Lucia’s gloomy gaze, he couldn’t help but ask the question in his mind.
"Lucia, what is your relationship...
with him?"
in Austos City, and there were interviews with August in several issues of Austos Fortune.
He had recognized August when he met the man just now.
said "him".
She bit her lip and felt like something had gotten into her throat, making her unable to speak.
She couldn’t tell what her relationship with August was.
Was it ex-husband and ex-wife? Or was it employer and employee? It didn’t seem accurate no matter
how she defined it.
For some reason, her nose twitched and tears came involuntarily out of her eyes.
She and August didn’t even seem to have a proper relationship.
They weren’t boyfriend and girlfriend, a loving couple, or proper employer and employee.
"Lucia, you..."
Paul was startled to see Lucia burst into tears.
Feeling a bit flustered, he hurriedly took out a handkerchief from his pocket to wipe her tears, but he
finally handed it over slowly.´ Lucia took the handkerchief, wiped her tears casually, and took a deep
breath.
"I’m...
fine, Paul.
Don’t worry."´ Suddenly, the door was opened.
With the sound of high heels, a woman in a red coat strode in briskly.
At the sound, Lucia looked over with her teary eyes.
Before she could tell who the visitor was, she saw something red coming at her.
"Honey! What’s wrong with you?"
Paula’s lark-like voice came to her ears.
Lucia hurriedly wiped her eyes.
"Paula?"
Paula tossed her long hair and looked down to see the scratch on Lucia’s right arm and the tear stains
on Lucia’s face.
Almost immediately, she grimaced as well.
"Why are you crying, Honey? And what’s wrong with your arm?"
Before Lucia could explain, she had already raised her head and looked fierce all of a sudden as she
glared at Paul.
"Did you bully Lucia, Paul?"
"It has nothing to do with your brother, Paula."
