Chapter 151


    Seeing that August had little patience, Joshua immediately smiled and asked for forgiveness.


    "Fine, fine.I''ll leave.Why are you so angry?"


    "We haven''t seen each other for a while, so I thought you would miss me."


    "Forget it.I shouldn''t have tried to chat with an iceberg like you..."


    Joshua kept chattering to himself.


    August looked so sullen, showing obviously that he had run out of patience.


    Seeing that, Joshua immediately shut up and walked quickly out of the room.


    When the door was closed, August finally had some peace.He walked to the window, casually picked


    up the imported wine on the table and poured half a ss.


    After taking a sip, he looked out the window with his deep eyes.


    His eyes swept over the brightly lit skyscrapers outside before he looked into the pitch-ck sky.


    In the farthest reaches of the sky, the darkness of the night looked like a bloody mouth waiting to


    devour the world.


    The next morning, Lucia got up as soon as her rm went off, without spending ten more minutes on


    the bed as she used to.


    Today, it was the first day for her to formally go on the study tour of Teda Corporation, so she naturally


    had to be in good spirits.


    She changed into afortable long dress, which was cool and not too casual.


    After getting everything ready, she grabbed the stuff that she needed and went straight out.


    When she and Linda arrived at the restaurant, it happened that all her colleagues had also arrived, so


    they went to the buffet area for food and found their own seats.


    Lucia took some food and sat down at a table with Linda.


    After taking a few sips of milk, she suddenly remembered her chance encounter with Augustst night.


    Before they came to Franksfurt, she had not been informed that August woulde too, and she had


    forgotten to ask August what he was doing herest night.


    Judging from what the others were like today, they didn’t seem to know that August was in Franksfurt.


    Lucia took two bites of her sandwich.


    Then, she asked Linda while pretending that she did it without thinking, "Are we the only ones going on


    the tour today?"


    Linda was confused by the question.


    "Yes, who else would be there?"


    Lucia hesitated for a moment and continued to ask tentatively, "I think I saw Mr.Adams here yesterday.


    Maybe I was mistaken?"


    "How could it be?" Linda said with certainty.


    "Natalie didn''t say Mr.Adams woulde over.You must be mistaken."


    Hearing that, Lucia nodded without asking any more questions and continued to eat her breakfast with


    her head down, but her mind was tangled with questions, like a mess.


    If August had not told anyone about his business trip to Franksfurt, why did he show up here? Did he


    have something else to do? She kept thinking about it, without finding an answer.


    After breakfast, they went to visit Teda Corporation together, so she had to put it behind her for the time


    being.


    After a busy morning of visiting all the departments of Teda, the receptionists treated them to lunch at


    noon and sent a driver to take them back to the hotel for a rest.


    It was quite hot outside, so they were given a two-hour break before they went back to thepany to


    learn their management methods in the afternoon.


    Lucia was covered in sweat after going around all morning.


    She just wanted to go back to her room as soon as possible, take a shower, and get some rest.


    Outside her room, she couldn''t help but subconsciously look over at the corner of the corridor.


    August stayed in the first room around that corner.


    After hesitating for two seconds, she took out her room card, opened the door, and went in.


    She took a shower and changed into afortable T-shirt and shorts.


    Just as she was about to have some rest, she suddenly remembered that she had not yet gotten


    Dr.Long''s contact information.


    As a result, she couldn''t sleep at all.


    The sooner she got the contact information, the sooner she could tell Mr.and Mrs.Mitchell to contact


    Dr.Long for the scheduling and nning of the surgery.


    She had nned to get it before she came to Franksfurt, but something unexpected happened.


    Now that August was in Franksfurt, it was a perfect opportunity for her to ask him for Dr.Long’s contact


    information.


    However, thinking of the unpleasant incident between themst night, Lucia was just like a deted


    balloon and lost her courage all of a sudden.


    August had said that he would settle the score with her, so she didn’t dare to go to him at this point.


    She tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.


    After thinking about it over and again, she decided to get out of bed and plucked up the courage to go


    and ask August.


    Even if she didn''t do it now, she would still have to find a chance to ask him when they went back


    home.


    Therefore, she would rather take this opportunity to ask him directly than wait until then.


    Gritting her teeth, she was about to go out when she suddenly caught sight of the fruits on the table,


    which her colleagues had bought from a roadside fruit stall on the way back today.


    It must be admitted that the fruits from the stalls in Franksfurt were really cheap and affordable.


    Besides, there were many different kinds of them and they were very sweet.


    Everyone bought some at the time, including Lucia.


    She also got some and brought them back to eat.


    She hadn''t expected that they woulde in handy now.


    Lucia was so happy that she immediately cleaned and cut the fruits into bite-sized pieces.


    There was mangosteen, a durian, an avocado, and a small pineapple.


    They were all cut and put into a small bowl, making a bowlful of bright colors that looked pretty nice.


    She was going to ask for help, so she had to be sincere.


    Lucia had been feeling somewhat nervous, but she calmed down a bit after doing all that.


    She took her room card, grabbed the bowl, and left her room for August''s.


    Outside August''s room, Lucia raised her hand to knock on the door.


    She waited for a minute, but there was no response.


    He wasn''t in the room now? Lucia hesitated for a moment.


    Just as she turned to leave, the door was unexpectedly opened with a click.


    Lucia turned around right away and saw the man in a bathrobe.


    His hair was slightly wet, showing that he had just finished taking a shower.


    To her surprise, she noticed that some droplets of water were sliding down the skin texture of his bare


    neck and the small exposed part of his chest, which was tanned.


    August took a nce at the woman who was frozen where she was.


    When he saw the bowl full of cubed fruit in her hand, a hint of surprise flickered in his eyes.


    What was she doing here? Showing goodwill or begging for mercy? Standing in the doorway, he looked


    condescendingly at her and asked in a cold voice, "Yes?"


    Lucia hurriedly took her eyes off him.


    Têxt ? N?velDrama.Org.


    She couldn''t help but swallow, and her thoughts were a bit jumbled.


    "Well...I’m here with some fruit..."


    August seemed to find it funny, but the expression on his face didn''t change much.


    He turned directly around as he simply said, "Bring it in"


    Watching the man from behind, Lucia felt like a pot of cold water had been poured on her, and she


    instantly realized what was going on.


    She was here with the fruit, but he was so condescending, cold and arrogant, asking her to take it in


    like that? However, thinking of what she hade to him for, Lucia was deted all of a sudden.


    Without saying anything else, she immediately walked in with the bowl.


    August sat down on the couch at will.


    He casually picked up the whiskey with ice cubes from the table, brought it to his lips, and took a sip


    before raising his eyes to look at her.


    "What is it?"


    She must havee over for more than bringing him some fruit.


    Lucia managed to force a smile as she put the small bowl in her hand on the table and said, "I bought


    some fruits from a fruit stall at noon.


    They''re fresh and sweet, but I got too many, so I brought you some."


    August raised his eyes as if trying to read her mind.


    "What else?"


    Now that he asked, Lucia stopped beating around the bush and said frankly, "Actually, I''m here...for


    one more thing...It''s about Dr.Long from the Straten Hospital, whom you helped to find for my


    father.Can you give me his contact information? I want to consult him about the surgical n."


    Hearing that, August instantly understood.If she had nothing to ask him for, she wouldn''t havee


    and tried to please him, would she?
