Chapter 171


    August just rushed back to thepany from a meeting and did not expect to see such a scene as


    soon as he returned.


    He asked Burton to stop the car and just watched them from a distance.


    He was puzzled why Lucia was always cold to him, but this time was smiling gently at Paul.


    Just then, Burton suddenly spoke up, "Mr.Adams, Miss Mitchell is gone."


    August frowned at Lucia who was walking with a quick light step, indicating she was in a good mood.


    When he noticed the folder in her hand, he immediately said to Burton, "Go and figure outter what


    the folder was that Paul gave to Lucia."


    Burton answered, "Okay."


    It seemed that Lucia still didn''t know that Paul was the president of Cloud Technology and Lion Group


    and Cloud Technology both werepetitive in a certain business, thus Lucia would be misunderstood


    if she met Paul frequently.


    Not long after August returned to President''s Office, Mary came over to report on the next trip.


    Recently, August was busy with all kinds of social engagements.

    After simply dealing with the urgent affairs of thepany, he had to rush out for another social


    engagement.


    Before leaving, Burton apanied him to the elevator and reported to him, "Mr.Adams, Miss Mitchell


    helps trante the documents from Cloud Technology in private."


    August frowned, and he didn’t expect Lucia would dare to take private work rted to Cloud


    Technology.


    But at this time, he did not have time to find her again, so he ordered, "Go to Hibiscus Garden first."


    Lucia sat in her office, somehow a shiver ran down her spine.


    She didn''t think much about it, gathered her clothes, and sent the report she had just finished to the


    Supervisor''s Office, and after Carter checked it, she would hand it over to the President''s Office.


    After getting off the elevator, far away Lucia saw a few people standing in front of the office.


    She took a few steps closer and heard a familiar voice, "Did August say where he was going when he


    left?"


    Lucia was stunned and recognized that she was Jeanne.


    There is no doubt that she was definitely here to find August.


    Lucia took a deep breath, the hand holding the report tightened, walked to the side of Mary next to her,


    and said softly, "Mary, this is the form that the Administration Department has just finished, please


    submit it to President Adams to look over."


    Mary swept a nce at her, reached out to take it, and said nonchntly, "I will forward it."


    Lucia handed over the document turned around and left.


    An evil thought shed through her mind, Jeanne suddenly said to Mary, "Since August is not here, I


    wille back another day.


    Thank you."


    She smiled at Mary, then beckoned the people on her side to follow, and stepped away.


    Before Lucia could take a few steps, she heard a voice ring out behind her, "Miss Mitchell, wait for me."


    She paused and slowly turned around with some confusion.


    Jeanne smiled as if the bottom of her eyes were shining, and she took a quick step forward to follow


    her.


    Lucia was a little puzzled, and before she could ask, she saw Jeanne take a delicate instion bottle


    out and said to her, "Miss Mitchell, this is the soup I personally stewed for August, but he is I not in the


    company, I stewed this soup for several hours, it would be bad to waste it, so I will give it to you."


    Jeanne said and shoved the instion bottle into her hands.


    Lucia was even more frozen, looking at the smiling woman in front of her, she felt Jeanne seem to


    know her well.


    Jeanne exined to her, "I''ve heard August mention you, and I''ve seen you in his office before, so I''m


    quite familiar with you, you''ll finish this soup, right?"


    Looking at the delicate girl in front of her, Lucia finally knew why she was so important to August.


    She smiled and said, "It''s better to save it for President Adams."


    "Don''t worry, I''ll make it for him next time.


    Take it!"


    Jeanne smiled at her and took a step in the direction of the elevator.


    Lucia, holding an instion bottle in her hands, stared at Jeanne''s back, and a strange emotion


    inexplicably sprang up in her heart.


    When she thought of August having an affair with that actress Adeline behind Jeanne, Lucia could help


    but sympathize with Jeanne.


    Lucia shook off her head to drive away strange spections, returned to her department, and


    continued with the work at hand.


    Recently, Carter gave her more and more tasks, and she worked overtime until almost 10 o''clock every


    day.


    It was 8 o''clock at night, her colleagues had all left, Lucia finished the soup to maintain her strength,


    and continued to work.


    Suddenly she heard the sound of footstepsing from the door, and she wondered who else would


    come here at thiste hour.
