Chapter 249


    Chapter 249 Intermediary


    His daughter''s trip here yesterday was fruitless, and he came in person today.


    What an old fox! August furrowed her brows, checked the time, and stood up.


    "I''m going to have a meeting with the executives.You will be left here taking care of him."


    With one hand, he buttoned up his suit and came up.


    The scent of his body wafted over, and she was enveloped in the shadow of the big man.His deep,


    maic voice rang in her ears.


    "Tell the receptionist to let the man in, and you will tell him that I''m busy.No t rejections.You see what


    I mean?"


    Her heart thumped, and she nodded in a hurry.


    "Yes."


    Although he didn''t make it clear, she knew what he meant.


    In trouble, the Kelly family turned to him for help, but he could not help them.


    That was against morality and justice.He couldn''t turn them down either.


    That was against their friendship.


    That was where she stepped in as an intermediary.


    Being a secretary to the CEO was really a thankless job.


    August looked down at her fluttering eyshes, curled his lips, and said deliberately, "This is your first


    task in the President''s Office.Bring out your best."


    A hint of pleasure seemed to be hiding in his voice.


    By the time she looked up, the man was already out of the office.She followed him out and saw August


    hurrying off with Burton.Her heart was pounding in her chest.


    She couldn''t figure out the reason for her nervousness.


    Because this was her first task? Without further ado, she hastened back to her office and replied to the


    receptionist, "Mr.Adams is having a meeting.No one knows how long it willst.Tell Mr.Kelly toe


    another day ore up if he''s willing to wait."


    After she hung up the phone, her eyelids twitched.She somehow felt uneasy.


    Would something bad happen today? She took a deep breath, gathered herself together, and


    calcted the time before going to receive the visitor.


    Not long after, the elevator came up and opened.


    Several people were standing inside.One of them was in his fifties and good shape.His eagle''s eyes


    were prating, and his presence was awe-inspiring.His identity was self-evident.


    Standing on the side, Lucia smiled when Martin came out, "Mr.Kelly, I was instructed to wee


    you.This way please."


    Martin nced at her, hummed indifferently, and followed behind her.


    Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org.


    Along the way, he nced at the décor and the employees in the corridor.


    Calctions were written in his keen eyes.


    The Lion Group was worthy of its reputation.


    The Kelly Group was not its match.


    The idea shed across his mind.


    Then he thought of his daughter, who was going to marry August, and felt better.


    Martin came back to his senses, nced at the woman walking in front of him, and asked in a deep


    voice, "Mr.Adams is in the middle of something?"


    Lucia turned sideways and replied in a soft voice, "Yes, he is having a meeting with the executives.No


    one knows how long it willst.You can wait for him in the parlor or make an appointment ande


    another day.Martin''s eyes turned cold.He said nothing, but his snort gave away his dissatisfaction.Lucia


    led the man to the parlor, respectfully invited him to take a seat, and went to the pantry.A pot of hot


    coffee was brought over.


    She poured a cup for him and said, "Mr.Kelly, you can read these books as you like, and feel free to tell


    me if you need anything."


    Sitting on the sofa, Martin looked at the considerate woman who was bowing.


    His eyes narrowed.He hadn''t paid attention to her just now.


    At a closer look, he found her familiar to the eye.He seemed to have seen her before.He frowned and


    remained silent.


    Getting no response from the man, Lucia called out softly, "Mr.Kelly?"


    Martin wrinkled his brows and waved his hand.


    "You can go."


    Lucia nodded with a smile and exited the room.


    Something sprang to his mind the moment the door was closed.


    The familiar feeling was getting stronger.He wondered where he had seen her before.


    Half an hour soon passed.


    Martin looked at his wristwatch.


    His brows were locked in a frown.He hadn''t believed it when his daughter went home and sobbed that


    August was unwilling to help.He came here in person today, but the man didn''t even show up.


    Now he was uncertain about it.


    Thements on the inte were like a torrent.


    Someone seemed to be hiding behind it and refused to let them off the hook.


    Dirt was dug out, and they were losing control of the situation.


    If August was unwilling to help, they would be in a worse situation.He couldn''t imagine the


    consequences.He paced back and forth in the parlor.His patience was wearing thin.His phone dinged


    as his subordinates sent over messages.His brows were knitted together.He gritted his teeth and


    headed out.He opened the door and saw Lucia talking to her colleague in the near distance.


    Lucia heard the sound, looked over, and saw Martin.


    In a hurry, she came up and asked with a smile, "Mr.Kelly, is there anything I can do for you?"


    Martin asked impatiently, "Mr.Adams is still in the meeting?"


    "Sorry, no notices havee yet.I''m afraid you''ll have to wait for a while longer.Mr.Kelly, please take a


    seat."


    Lucia tried to pacify the man.


    After inviting him back to the parlor, she thoughtfully reced the cold coffee and brought over a new


    pot.


    When she bent over, Martin''s keen eyes nced at the badge on her chest.


    Her name was printed in silver on the ck badge.


    The name rang a bell.


    He suddenly remembered it.


    The name was mentioned by a subordinate in his report.


    Lucia! She was the very woman who got the marriage license with August.


    She was working as August''s secretary? Shock crossed his eyes, but he disguised it and said


    indifferently, "I presume it''s a difficult job to work as Mr.Adams’ secretary."


    "It’s alright.I''m doing my best"


    Lucia smiled.


    Martin curled his lips, but the coldness in his eyes got stronger.


    In a casual way, he asked, "How long have you been working with Lion Group?"


    "About three years," Lucia replied truthfully.


    A cold glint appeared in the man’s eyes.


    After a pause, he said ndly, "I''ve waited long enough.Ms.Mitchell, could you kindly help me ask


    when the meeting will be over?"


    "Sure, right away."


    Martin watched the woman leave.


    Hostility was hidden in his eagle''s eyes.


    The woman who had gotten the marriage license with August was working with Lion Group.


    He knew the fact but hadn''t expected her to climb so high up the corporatedder and stick around


    August.


    They had divorced, and August was going to get engaged to his daughter.


    Why did August keep this woman by his side? This was not a good sign.
