August sat by the bedside, patiently coaxing Jeanne. "Don't worry. I will stay by your side for the surgery’ ®
tomorrow." ®
Jeanne nodded obediently. She curved her lips and two shallow dimples showed on her cheeks. "I'm a bit'®
thirsty, August. I want to drink some water.” August turned to look at the already empty mineral water container, picked up the glass on the table and said softly, "Wait for me. I'll go get some water."
Jeanne's eyes curved in a sweet smile. "Okay." ®
Seeing August walk out of the room, she sat up on the bed, turned to look at his phone on the table next to her, reached out for it and entered the password to unlock it directly The screen showed three missed calls marked as "Lucia". Jeanne's eyebrows furrowed as she stared at the three missed calls.!

Dame of work’ Lucia read the messages of the heated discussion in the group and couldn't help but frown. Of course, she knew very well that the someone they were talking about was her. She simply blocked the group messages directly, turned off the screen, put the phone aside, and got back'll to work' ®
Although she told herseif not to care, she still had a lump in her throat.’ ®
A short while later, there was a sudden noise outside and someone came to inform them that Mr.'® Stebbing was coming to check on their work.'®

a good thing for
them.’
Lucia took a deep breath, thinking that was the end of the tour, but Ted suddenly turned to Carter, who'®
was next to him, and asked, "Who is working on the product quotation this time?" ®
Carter replied gently. "It's Lucia." ®
When Lucia heard that she had been named, she couldnt help but feel a little nervous.’
Upon hearing that, Ted raised his head to glance at Lucia, who was standing at the far side, and his eyes’
darkened.!
how well you’
know about this project, Lucia?" Lucia bowed her head slightly and replied truthfully, “I have studied the planning case of the project provided by the company and the specific information of the partner, and I am planning to collect’
for the quotation,’
it will be ready tomorrow if it goes well.”
Tomorrow?"
The look on Ted's face changed. He looked at her with a bit of contempt and his tone carried a bit of ® impatience and anger. "Have you been working hard, Lucia? Do you need more than twenty- four hours'®
for a quotation like this?" ®
The others were a little surprised to see his sudden change of attitude, which was far stricter than earlier They were even more puzzled, thinking of the ambiguous relationship between Lucia and Ted before’

Lucia looked up at Carter in surprise Carter didn't say that she had to finish it within twenty-four hours when she was given the task’
Carter could certainly tell what Lucia meant. She looked at Ted with a smile. "Mr. Stebbing, there's still plenty of time Ted frowned and asked grmly. So you can take your time without being efficient? Why do you think the'®
company keeps you? What do you think the company pays you for? Carter was scolded and instantly lost for words’
Lucia frowned and lowered her eyes without saying anything
Ted turned to give her a cold glance and ordered in a deep voice, "If you want to submit the quotation’
comarrow, that's fine with me, butin order to fill up your working hours, I will give you another task.”

After saying these words, Ted turned around and left without looking back'®
No soaner had he left than sighs came from the public desk area. ®
Ted punished Lucia ater promising to give them bonus Was he trying to give them a warning or to make trouble on purpose and give Luca 2 hard time? They were wondering why Ted treated Lucia lie someon he hated when there had been an ambiguous relationship between him and her, Had the two of them fallen out?
