August walked to the Vice President’s Office.
When he opened the door, he saw Ted leisurely sipping tea on the couch. Hearing the sound of the
door, Ted looked up at August with a false smile and said Mr.Stebbing." It was a simple sentence with a
hint of sarcasm. Hearing that, Ted chuckled.
Instead of getting up, he patted the couch beside him and said, "Come and sit down, August." "No,
thanks."
August’s face was sullen and cold.
"I just came over to ask.Since when did the company have a punishment of wiping the floor by hand?"
Ted paused, pretending to be confused Ted smiled and said in a casual tone, "You don’t have to be so
serious, August.
I used to manage them it works.
They might not remember what you say even if you scold or yell at them, but they’d emotions in his
deep, dark eyes.
"But you’re not in the subsidiary now.
I believe you as soon as he heard that.
August was obviously warning Ted to put himself in the right place.
Ted could do whatever he wanted in the subsidiary, but now in the headquarters, he had to report to the
President no matter how arrogant he was. Ted’s eyebrows were knitted.
He looked colder and colder as he watched August like a hawk, refusing to budge. August was not
scared at all.
He stared back at Ted without showing any weakness. After a few seconds, Ted curved his lips first.
As if to lighten the atmosphere, he chuckled and said, "You are quite protective of this girl, August.
Is she special to you?" August’s dashing eyebrows furrowed.
Without pausing, he replied immediately.
"If it were any other employee in the company, I would have stood up for them as well." Ted smiled at
him in a meaningful way, "Really?" August curved his lips symbolically.
"Are you doubting me, Mr.Stebbing?"
"No Ted looked away and reached out to pour a cup of tea.
"Join me for some tea?"
August said lightly, "No, thanks, Mr.Stebbing.
You can take your time and enjoy it yourself."
After that, he turned directly to leave Ted looked colder as he raised his eyes and watched August from
behind He hadn’t expected that after just a few years, August would turn into a man to be reckoned
with from a young and inexperienced boy Watching August from behind as his figure went out of sight,
Ted laughed sneeringly.
August couldn’t make any waves no matter how tough he was! After all, Ted was not the only one who
wanted to mess with him. In the President’s Office, Lucia stood in front of the desk, looking at the man
in front of her uneasily It had been five minutes since they came in, but August still had no intention of
opening his mouth to speak After another while, August finally raised his head and looked over at her.
"I heard from Burton that something almost happened to you last night." Thinking of what had
happened last night, Lucia couldn’t help but feel bitterly disappointed.
She gritted her teeth and said, "Yeah." Emotions were surging in August’s eyes as his grip on the
phone slowly tightened. receive a call from her when it happened yesterday. If Burton hadn’t mentioned
it, he would have been unaware of it at all. "Slap!" call me?" Her heart felt like it was bound by
something.
Lucia was a little breathless.
She bit her lower lip with her teeth and looked up at August with her bright eyes, asking, "If I had called
you, would you have come to help me?" August frowned and found himself speechless at the moment.
She was right.
Even if she had called him last night, he might not have been able to make it to her. slightly red eyes,
he felt as if something had hit his heart, weighing it down. He admitted that there were many times
when he didn’t do what he should do for Lucia. Lucia gritted her teeth to force her tears back, put on a
smile with studied casualness, and opened her mouth to ask, "When can we make our move?"
She didn’t want to wait any longer.
Waiting like this was torture for her.
When was it going to end? August looked a little more serious and said softly, "Don’t worry.
It won’t take much longer." He knew she had suffered a lot, but they had to wait for the right opportunity
to do something about led. but no sooner had he touched her than she stepped back away from him.
August held his hand in the air, frozen for a few seconds It was so awkward.
August frowned slightly and withdrew his hand.
Lucia averted her gaze and said lightly, "I’ll leave now if there’s nothing else."
After that, she stepped away and headed out before August could say anything August’s hands were
cold as they were clenched and unclenched.
Watching the woman from behind as she left resolutely, he pursed his lips and turned around in the
end.
Out of the President’s Office, Lucia went back to the Administration Department absent-mindedly, and h
colleagues were all staring at her as if she were a monkey With half of her body leaning against the
door frame, Lisa smiled meaningfully as she watched Lucia approach She purposely cleared her throat,
smiled lightly and asked, "Have you cleaned up the break area, Lucia?"
Hearing Lisa’s sarcastic words, Lucia clenched her fists down at her sides slowly. Whenever Lisa
treated her like this before, she had always put up with it, but this time, she was impatient and unwilling
to tolerate it any longer. Her colleagues were all watching her for fun.
Seeing that, she clenched her fists tightly, met Lisa’s gaze and said word by word, "Shut up."
She simply said those two words and walked towards her office without looking back, leaving Lisa with
a pale face.
Lisa watched Lucia from behind, looking stunned.
She had never expected Lucia to reply like that.
Seeing her snickering colleagues, she felt so embarrassed as she became.
At last, she couldn’t help but take out her phone and call Irene. She would like to see how much longer
Lucia could go on like that!
