In the break area next to the Vice President’s Secretary Susan raised her eyebrows and
said with a hour to clean up the place.
“Come on!"
Lucia withdrew her gaze and took a deep breath.
Seeing the tool room nearby, she walked straight over and took out a broom and mop from it.
After sweeping all the garbage together and putting it into the garbage bag.
Lucia was already sweating. She was about to go to the her hand and said with a frown, Wait a minute!
You can’t do it with a mop!
"Lucia took a mop?"
Susan folded her arms across her chest and lifted her chin.
"Mr.Stebbing has just instructed that the floor in front of his office and in the break area must not be
mopped, because there will be an odor. You can take a rag and wipe it by hand."
Lucia frowned Wipe it by hand? Even the cleaners in the company would mop the floor with a mop
when they did the cleaning.
Why did Ted wasn't he? Susan looked indifferent Do you have any problem with it? Mr.Stebbing said
that if you don't want to do it, then go and talk to him!" Lucia had a headache, hearing Susan say
Mr.Stebbing once and again.
She gritted her teeth and looked at Susan, saying, "Okay, I’ll wipe it by hand.He who has a mind to and
now actually asked her to wipe the floor by hand it was obvious that he wanted to see her make a fool
of herself But on second thought it was a good thing that Ted treated her this way Once word got our
few people would believe that there was any kind of affair between them.
It seemed that Susan hadn’t expected Lucia to agree so readily After hesitating for a moment, she
immediately followed Lucia and repeatedly wanned, "Don’t try any tricks.
You have only one hour, and it you don’t for it on time, there will be other punishments waiting for you!
Lucia gasped She put the mop back in the toolroom, took the rag and basin and went to the customer
When she returned to the break area with water, Lucia squatted down, soaked the rag, and wiped the
stains on the floor bit by bit. The break area was right between the President’s Office, the meeting room
and the Vice President’s Office, where people came and went.
Whenever someone passed by, they would look at Lucia as if she was an alien.
Lucia squatted where she was, feeling embarrassed.
The gazes she got from the people coming and going made her uncomfortable. the company. corner of
the wall little by little.
Her hair was disheveled and she couldn’t tidy it up, looking messy and somewhat pitiful. lifted her chin
and pointed to some place with her finger, telling Lucia what to do. condescendingly, "Here, over
here.Don’t you see this big piece of gum? Mr.Stebbing hates it when it’s dirty.Are you expecting me to
clean it?" with the rag and squatted down to clean it by hand.
As she was doing that with her head down, a deep voice suddenly came from next to her.
"Go and ask about the planning case for the land in the West End later.
Bring it to my office." Her grip on the rag tightened and she subconsciously looked up.
August was coming over with two people.
He was instructing them to do something as he walked.
Seemingly sensing her gaze, he looked back. Instantly, their eyes met. August paused for half a
second when he saw Lucia squatting on the floor with her disheveled hair.
His eyebrows involuntarily wrinkled after he saw what she was doing. The next second, he strode
straight towards her without saying a word.
He stopped half suddenly came up.
"Mr.Adams, Lucia made a mistake, and Mr.Stebbing told her to clean it up here as a punishment."
August frowned and looked at Susan coldly as he asked, "What mistake?"
Even if Lucia had made a mistake, there was no need to deliberately humiliate her with this kind of
punishment When Susan raised her eyes to meet August’s icy eyes, she was instantly deflated and
stammered, "Lucia didn’t do a good job with the quotation, so..."
"So she has to wipe the floor as a punishment?"
Anger glinted in August’s eyes.
"Since when did the company have such a rule? How come I didn’t know it?"
August just said those words, head, not knowing what to say.
August stared at her for two seconds and then averted his eyes.
He looked at Lucia who was still squatting there, pursed his thin lips coldly, and said in a deep voice,
"Get up."
Seeing the anger in the man’s eyes, Lucia was a little uneasy.
He had told her at the apartment that it would be better not to have a conflict with Ted during this period
before they took action, but now, the situation was not very favorable.
Lucia hesitantly stood up.
Before she could speak, the rag in her hand was taken away and thrown directly into the basin.
"Mr.Adams..."
August turned to Susan, who was next to him, and ordered in a deep voice, "You, clean this place up."
Susan turned pale with shock and panic.
"I didn’t make any mistake, Mr.Adams."
With his characteristic cold face, August said in a freezing voice, "Then why don’t you go and get Mr.
Stebbing here?" Susan realized what he meant.
She nodded quickly in response and walked speedily towards the Vice President’s Office.
Lucia clenched her hands together, feeling a little worried.
August wanted Ted to come over, but she had no idea what he was up to.a conflict with him these
days?"
Something flickered in his eyes as August pursed his lips.
"That’s if he doesn’t make any trouble."
He paused and said in a deep voice, "But now, he’s messing with you." With those words, August
turned around and walked towards the Vice President’s Office.
He was covered with the coldness that made people shudder.
Watching the determined man from behind, Lucia found her heart beating faster all of a sudden.
What did August mean by those words just now? Was he defending her?
