Having a Clear Conscience
Facing his cold gaze, Lucia clenched her fists, hesitated for a second, and said softly, "I'm sorry, but
there is an unexpected accident..."
No one gave her the privilege of absenteeism.It was her fault that she was late for work, so she could
not blame him for criticizing her.
Lucia knew she was wrong.
So, before August could reply, she took a deep breath and apologized, "I'm sorry, President Adams.I
won't make the same mistake again"
Hearing her words, August swallowed the words on the tip of his tongue.
After a pause, he asked coldly, "Do you have anything to say about the leak of the plan?"
When Lucia heard this, her heart skipped a beat.She had planned to take the initiative to talk about this
matter.
But now, August had asked about it first.
So, things had become hugely different.
As soon as he mentioned it, she was put in a passive state.
Since he had brought it up first, it meant he had already suspected her.
Gritting her teeth, she looked up at him and said word by word, "I sent the plan to Eaton according to
your order.And I didn't do anything to harm the Lion group."
Her tone was affirmative without any hesitation.
Hearing this, August frowned slightly, and his expression became gloomier.
She looked quite righteous, but the leak of the plan must have something to do with her.
August lowered his eyes, picked up the pen on the table with his slender fingers, and asked coldly, "Did
you know that the Flying Group signed the contract with JV Multinational Group?"
Hearing this, Lucia was slightly startled.She had heard of JV Multinational Group before.
It was not small, but its strength was inferior to that of the Lion group.
However, it also had resources and channels, so it was a rival that should not be underestimated.
Unexpectedly, they had gotten that seven-hundred-million-dollar project in the end.
But it was indeed quite coincidental.
Lucia took a deep breath, looked up at August, and replied, "No, I don't."
Hearing her words, he suddenly tightened his grip on the pen and said with a cold light in his eyes,
"You don't know? Or are you pretending not to know?"
Then, he straightened up with a cold expression and said, "Do you know who is in charge of the project
in JV Multinational Group?"
Before Lucia could speak, he gave the answer, saying, "Jamie Nordhaus."
Jamie used to have a close relationship with her.
When Lucia heard this, she was stunned.
This name was both familiar and unfamiliar to her, but she hadn't heard it for a long time.
After a few seconds, she suddenly understood what August meant by saying this! He was suspecting
that she had leaked the plan for Jamie! She widened her eyes, looked up at him in shock, and said, "I
didn't know it's him.I haven't seen him for a long time."
Seeing panic flashing across her face, August sneered, "Really? But isn't everything too coincidental?"
After the business had been leaked, JV had benefited the most.It was her that had delivered the plan,
and she happened to be familiar with the person in charge of the project in JV.
These coincidences could arouse a lot of suspicions.
Seeing his expression, Lucia felt a little depressed and angry, so she gritted her teeth and said, "I have
a clear conscience.But if you want to put this crime on me, I will have nothing to say."
At such a time, if he didn't want to believe her, she couldn't clear her name no matter how hard she
tried.
Looking at her expression, August frowned and said coldly, "Since this matter has nothing to do with
you, you must figure out a way to prove your innocence."
Things had developed to this point, so even if he believed her, she still needed to show evidence to
prove her innocence.
Only in this way could she stop the crowd from blaming her.
Lucia was speechless, biting her teeth.She had no evidence at all.
Jeanne could be said to be a witness, but she had gotten off the car halfway.
So, Lucia still could not prove she had not done it.
All kinds of thoughts popped into her mind together, but there was no clue.
In the end, August looked at her coldly and said, "Fine! You can go back to work now."
Lucia took a deep breath, responded, and turned to leave.
The moment the door was closed, her heart was filled with coldness.
In fact, during the moment of silence just now, she had thought a lot.
She deserved to be under suspicion in this matter, and she was not afraid that others would accuse her
or misunderstand her.
What she cared about most was whether he believed her.
Judging from his attitude just now, she knew that he didn't believe her.
Even though they had known each other for a long time and had gone through life-threatening dangers
together, he still refused to believe her.
After getting off work, Lucia was a little absent-minded.
When she was about to leave the company, she suddenly thought of Paul, so she picked up her mobile
phone, called him, and asked, "Hey, Paul, how are you feeling?"
She thought he was resting at home now.
Unexpectedly, Paula smiled on the phone, "Lucia, it's me."
She deliberately lowered her voice and continued, "My brother fell asleep, so I answered the phone."
Lucia understood it, so she asked softly, "How is he now?"
"Not very good.He originally planned to go home today.But when he got to the door of the hospital, he
suddenly felt dizzy.So, he had no choice but to continue staying in the hospital.I rushed over as soon
as receiving the news."
"What?"
Lucia tightened up and asked in surprise, "So, he still needs to be hospitalized for observation, right?"
Paula nodded, "Yes.The doctor said there may be blood stasis, so he needs to have an examination."
Hearing this, Lucia thought for a while and said softly, "Have you eaten dinner? If not, I'll buy something
nearby and send it to you.I want to go over to see him."
"Okay, it's too boring to look after him in the hospital alone."
After chatting with Paula, Lucia hung up the phone, bought some food, and then headed for the
hospital.
When she arrived, she went to the nurse station to ask for the ward number.
Paul was still living in the original ward, so she went there straightly.
Paul was already awake.
When he saw Lucia coming in, his eyes lit up.
And Paula next to him pounced at her excitedly and said, "Lucia, you finally came.I'm so bored here."
"I know.I brought you some food.See what you want to eat."
Lucia put down the big bag in her hand and began to chat with them.
Suddenly, the cold ward became warmer.
After dinner, Lucia looked at Paul and asked, "Paul, how are you feeling now? Are you feeling better?"
Paul's expression was as gentle as usual when he said slowly, "I'm fine.It doesn't matter if I need to
continue staying in the hospital for a few more days until the stitches are removed.
After all, I can work here.
"Seeing that he was in good condition, Lucia was relieved.When a nurse came to check on him, Paula
took the opportunity to pull Lucia aside to chat.
"Paula, Saturday is coming around the corner.Why don't you go to Figo City to prepare?"
Paula fixed her hair and pouted, saying, "I was planning to go today, but Paul is injured.He doesn't
want to my parents about it, so I must stay here to take care of him.What a good sister I am!"
Lucia hurriedly asked, "What about your show?"
Seeing her worried look, Paula raised her hand to pat her on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I'll
just be there later.The show will not be affected."
Lucia nodded, "I see.When you go there for the show, I'll help take care of your brother here."
Suddenly, a sly look flashed across Paula's eyes, and then she asked with a slight smile, "Lucia, do
you like Paul?"
