Chapter 355Chapter 355 What is hiding from him?
She raised her eyes, met the man's gloomy eyes, and said softly with a smile, "So that's what you
meant by what you said on stage just now..."
Seeing the woman's visibly relieved expression, August frowned, and his face darkened a bit.
"Otherwise, what do you think?" He asked.
Before she could answer, his eyes flashed quickly, and he asked in a cold voice, "Is it possible that you
have something else to hide from me?"
novelbinHearing this, Lucia's face suddenly turned pale, a trace of panic flashed across her eyes, and she
subconsciously shook her head and denied it.
"No," she replied.
But it was precise because of her answer without any hesitation that August was more certain of the
conjecture in his heart.
She had something to hide from him! August's face darkened a bit, his lips pursed into a line, and he
was about to continue to ask, but Lucia suddenly stretched out her hand and pushed his hand aside.
Immediately afterward, she moved the chair in a panic, gave a worthy distance between the two of
them, and said coldly, "If others see us like this, the impact will not be very good!"
August glanced at her coldly, caught the panic on her face, and asked coldly, "Lucia, what are you
afraid of?"
Lucia bit her lip, her hand on the table clenched into a fist unconsciously."I have nothing to be afraid of," she replied.
"Really?" August asked, stepped forward, and walked directly in front of her, his sharp eyebrows and
eyes were covered in frost.
"But you are hiding something from me, aren't you?" He asked.
Invisibly, Lucia felt the strength of the man and felt a little guilty in her heart.Her eyes were erratic, and
she inadvertently swept to the mobile phone that was lit on the table next to her.
The wallpaper on it was the group photo of her and her children.
At this moment, Lucia was even more flustered in her heart.
August sensitively caught her gaze, raised his eyes, and followed her gaze.
When he saw the wallpaper on the phone screen, his expression became very complicated.
He immediately stepped forward, grabbed her wrist, and asked coldly, "Are Timothy and Janet..."
Before he could finish his words, there was a sudden knock on the door, and then, Paul's gentle voice
came from outside the door.
"Lucia, are you inside?" He asked.
Lucia's body tightened, and subconsciously broke August's hand from holding her, and she hurriedly
walked towards the door.
"Paul..."
She muttered.The door opened, and Paul appeared at the door, with a gentle smile as usual.
"Didn't you see the message I sent you just now?" He asked.
As soon as he finished speaking, he got a glimpse of the back, raised his eyes slightly, and saw August
who was standing not far away.His face suddenly sank a little.
"Lucia, why is he here?" Paul asked.
Lucia's heart tightened, she stretched out her hand to take Paul's arm, and turned to look at August,
smiling gently, and said in a respectful and natural tone, "He came to congratulate me on winning the
award."
Paul's expression softened a bit when he heard this.
He looked up at August and said slowly, "Mr.Adams, thank you."
August heard the words, narrowed his eyes slightly, and glanced at Lucia, without saying a word.
Lucia pretended not to see anything, turned to Paul, and said ina friendly tone.
"By the way, is the company's business over?"
Paul curled his lips and smiled.
"I'm done with my work, so I came to pick you up specially.The two little guys are in the car.I was afraid
that they would run around, so I didn't let them get out of the car," he replied to Lucia.
As he said that, he raised his hand and put the broken hair on Lucia's cheek behind her ear, his eyes
filled with love."Where's the restaurant? Is the reservation ready? We're going there at this time, I'm afraid it's too
late..." Lucia said dryly.
Paul nodded at her dotingly, raised his hand, and squeezed her face gently.
"Don't worry, I've arranged everything, go wipe your face, the makeup on your face is removed halfway
like a little tabby cat!" Paul replied.
Lucia smiled at him, released him immediately, and walked towards the dressing table.
August, who was standing on the side, had a panoramic view of the scene just now, his brows slightly
frowned, and his face was covered with a layer of frost.
Paul and Lucia were in a state of being together, completely like a loving couple who had lived together
for several years, gossiping and intimate.But for some reason, seeing such a scene, he felt that there
was a thorn in his throat, which could not go up or down, and was extremely uncomfortable.
At this moment, Paul suddenly stepped towards him.
"Mr.Adams, is there anything else we can do for you?" He asked Augustus.
August's eyes darkened for a few minutes, then he paused for half a second.
"It's alright," he replied coldly.
After he finished speaking, he took a deep look at Lucia and walked out quickly.
The moment he saw Lucia's mobile phone screen saver, a strange conjecture flashed in his heart, but
when he saw Lucia and Paul being so affectionate, that idea became outrageous and unrealistic.He
strode through the corridor and the hall and walked to the entrance of the venue.Burton had already parked his car under the steps ahead of time.He opened the car door and got into
the car, and Burton immediately reported to him.
"Mr.Adams, Mr.Floyd from Hotron just called and wanted to..." Burton started to say.
August frowned, and he couldn't listen to what Burton said at all.
The only thing that came to his mind was the scene of Paul and Lucia's love in the dressing room just
now.Burton watched August turn the documents in his hand into a pile of waste paper, and he
hesitated.
"Mr.Adams..." Burton muttered.
August returned to his senses, and saw the document that he was holding into a ball of paper, his face
slowly turned cold, he threw it aside, and said coldly, "Drive, go to Gordon's Lounge."
When Burton heard this, he immediately responded.
At the same time, in the dressing room of the venue, Lucia packed up her things and looked at the
screensaver on her mobile phone, a little lost.
"Lucia," Paul said and came over with a serious expression.
"August should already be suspicious, you have to finish whatever you have to do here as soon as
possible, and then leave with Timothy and Janet."
Lucia nodded seriously.
"I know," she replied.She knew very well that when he saw the photos on the screensaver just now, he was already
suspicious.She took a deep breath, feeling like something was stuck in her heart, feeling a little
uncomfortable.
Paul looked at her as if she was facing a great enemy, and felt inexplicably distressed.
He stretched out his hand, patted her shoulder gently, and said softly, "Don't be too stressed, I'm here."
Lucia nodded, and when she met Paul's gaze, she felt a little more at ease.
Before returning to Chea, she thought that she and August would not have so many interactions, but
now it seems that she thought of everything too simply.
When Augustus and Burton arrived at Gordon's Lounge, it was just getting dark.
August got out of the car, walked into the gate lightly, walked through the hall, went down to the
basement floor, walked to a gate with a fingerprint lock, pressed the fingerprint, pushed open the door,
and walked in.
The heavy door opened slowly, and he walked in.
Inside was a wide underground wine cellar.
Except for the wall with the door, there were wine cabinets on the remaining three walls, which were
filled with various wines in turn.
Going further inside, there was a round wine table with three single sofas next to it.
He walked to the sofa and sat down, raised his hand to pick a bottle of red wine from the shelf behind
him, took a clean wine glass, opened the wine, and sobered up in one go.He just took two sips when
the door suddenly opened, followed by a somewhat lazy voice."August, who's messing with you again? Why are you drinking alone again?"
