Chapter 152
August casually picked up the tablet on the couch, flipped through the documents filled with foreign
languages, and paused for two seconds before turning to look at the bowl of cubed fruit on the table.
He raised an eyebrow and asked, "That''s your sincerity?"
Lucia took a deep breath and said softly, "If you like it, I''ll do it for you every day for the next few days."
She knew August wouldn''t give it to her easily.
Ever since she called him a scumbagst time, he had been trying to make things difficult for her.
When August heard that, something flickered in his eyes and he said lightly, "I''ll try it."
Lucia froze for a moment and immediately responded, taking the small bowl and holding it in front of
him.
To make it easier for him to eat, she specially prepared a fruit fork.
However, when she did that, the man had no intention of reaching out his hand to take the bowl.
With his left hand holding the tablet and his right hand tapping the screen, he lifted his head slightly to
look at her and raised his eyebrows, saying, "I''ve got my hands full."
Lucia was stunned.
It was just a matter of reaching out, and he said it as seriously as if it were true that he couldn''t do it! So
what did he mean by that? Did he want her to feed him? Lucia was annoyed, but she couldn''t show it.
After a few seconds of staring at him in disbelief, she managed to force a smile on her face.
"Well then, I''ll feed you."
As she spoke, she picked up the fork.
With a single movement, she ran it through a piece of pineapple from one end to the other and then
pretended to be patient as she put the piece of fruit to his mouth.
August opened his mouth to take it.
He curled his lips in satisfaction, and a smile flickered quickly in his eyes.
Lucia fed him several pieces in a row and August finally said lightly, "I''ll tell Burton to send you the
contact information."
Hearing that, Lucia was so happy that she wasn''t that impatient anymore.
She looked at the small bowl in her hand and asked patiently, "Do you want more?"
August''s tone eased up a bit as he said lightly, "Put it down."
Lucia put down the small bowl, feeling a bit happier than earlier.
Thinking of the questions that bothered her this morning, she couldn''t help but ask casually, "By the
way, you weren''t there when we visited Teda in the morning, so what are you doing here in Franksfurt
this time?"
August''s face turned cold when he was suddenly asked, and he said in a deep voice, "Don’t ask what
you shouldn''t ask."
Seeing that the man suddenly changed his face, Lucia felt like a pot of cold water had been poured on
her, and she instantly realized what was going on.
Apparently, she had crossed the line and asked a question she shouldn''t have asked.
The smile froze at the corners of her mouth as Lucia suddenly felt at a loss.
After pausing for a few seconds, she softly replied, "I...got it.I''ll leave if there’s nothing else."

After that, she turned around, feeling a bit upset, and stumbled out of the room.
She was just asking the question casually, but she hadn''t expected that August would have such a
reaction.
In an inexplicably low mood, Lucia went back to her room.
She had asked for Dr.Long''s contact information, but the fact that August had suddenly changed his
attitude toward her was like a big stone weighing on her mind, and she couldn''t help but think and
wonder about it.
She always felt that August had something else to do in Franksfurt this time, and it was something very
important.
Before she knew it, the break time went by quickly.
After the incident at noon, Lucia didn’t fall asleep at all.
She got up with bleary eyes, cleaned up, and went out.
During the whole afternoon, they were led by Natalie to Teda Corporation, went to various departments
to experience the work there, and briefly had a small meeting before the first day of their study tour
came to an end.
Aftering out of thepany, Natalie gathered everyone and exined what they should do next.
"We won''t have dinner together tonight.I''ll leave you all to yourselves, so you can make your own
ns.You can have dinner, go shopping or do whatever you want, but make sure you''re safe.Call me if
anything happens, and you''d better be back at the hotel by 10 p.m., okay?"
When she said that, everyone was very excited and agreed.
Linda turned to Lucia and asked with a smile, "Lucia, do you have any n?"
"No, not yet?"
The most active girl among them came over and suggested, "Lucia, let''s go to that popr restaurant
together! It''s famous online and they say the food there is superb!"
Sam, a man from the Logistics Department, echoed, "Why don’t we go together? We can take care of
each other!"
Others all agreed and Lucia had no reason to say no.
Anyway, she had nothing to do, so she might as well go with them and have some fun.
Having made the decision, they were ready to go to the restaurant by taxi.
There were six or seven of them, and they couldn''t fit in one taxi, so they had to spend some time
hailing one more taxi.
Lucia was standing and chatting with Linda by the road when she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her
lower abdomen.
Her face changed.
In the middle of her sentence, she couldn''t speak anymore and frowned in pain.
Linda saw that something was wrong with her and quickly asked, "What''s wrong with you, Lucia? Your
face is so pale."
Lucia shook her head.
She felt something sticky between her legs and instantly knew what was going on.
If she was right, it was her period.
She moved closer to Linda and whispered, "I think I''m on my period, Linda.Do you have that with you?"
The girls naturally understand each other.
Linda shook her head.
"I don''t have it either.I''ll go and ask them for you."
With that, she ran to ask the rest of the girls.
Unfortunately, none of them brought it.
Seeing the way Lucia held her belly, Linda was a little worried.
"Lucia, I''ll go to the supermarket and buy some for you, okay?"
After thinking about it, Lucia shook her head and said, "No, thank you.I’d better go straight back to the
hotel."
Her period always came with abdominal pain.
If she went to dinner with them like this, she couldn''t eat anything cold or spicy.
It would be a bummer, so she might as well go back to the hotel.
Linda was still worried.
She said hesitantly, "Well...Do you want me to go with you? Lucia was touched.
She declined in a soft voice.
"No, thanks, Linda.You don''t have to worry about me.The hotel is not far from here.I''ll go back by
motorcycle."
There were many colorful motorcycles on the streets of Franksfurt.
She could take one and get to the hotel in about ten minutes, so there was no need to have Linda go
back with her.
Hearing that, Linda nodded.
"Okay then.Take care of yourself and send me a message when you get to the hotel."
Lucia waved at her with a smile and said, "Got it."
Just then, Sam stopped two taxis.
After waving at her, Linda went over and got into one of them.
Seeing the taxis leave, Lucia breathed a sigh of relief.
Despite the faint pain in her belly, she walked slowly to a motorcycle by the roadside.
Before she reached the motorcycle, a man suddenly ran up behind her.
He was thin and small, about the same height as Lucia, and had a pair of little round eyes that kept
rolling.
"Where are you going, Miss? Do you need a ride?"
Lucia took a look at him, feeling a little strange in her heart.
Surprisingly, he was a man from Cannada.
Moreover, he was speaking to her in thenguage of Cannada.
How did he know she was from Cannada when there were many people from other countries on the
streets of Franksfurt? And he even knew that she needed a ride? Instantly, Lucia felt a surge of
uneasiness.
She shook her head, quickened her pace, and simply refused, "No, thanks."
No sooner had she finished speaking than something suddenly covered her head from behind, blocking
her view.
The next second, the back of her head was hit hard with a thump.
Lucia cked out and lost consciousness instantly.
