Chapter 261 Sneaking into Perfect Fortune
When Lucia was deep in thought, a woman outside continued, "Because of her, the efforts of several major departments during this period have been wasted. How can she continue working here in the future?
"I don't care. Anyway, when things come to light, she will be hated by every employee in the company. We've been working overtime for a long time on this project. But now, the sure thing is messed up..."
Hearing the harsh criticism, Lucia felt her temples throbbing violently, so she pushed open the door and stepped out.
The two women who were fixing makeup at the sink had not expected someone would suddenly come out, so they were startled, looked at each other, and dared not to say anything.
Lucia pretended to be nonchalant, walked to the sink, and washed her hands.
When one of the women recognized her, she was so shocked that her face turned pale.
Lucia turned a blind eye to it, pulled out a tissue, wiped her hands, and walked out.
Seeing this, the woman lowered her voice and said, "She is the secretary we were talking about!" "What? It's her!"
Lucia frowned and quickened her footsteps. Soon, she could not heartheir voices anymore. Unexpectedly, everyone thought it was her who had leaked the plan, but she didn't do it. It was indeed her that had sent the plan over, so she had the time
*Snd opportunity to commit the crime. But she had no motive... / After Lucia went back to the office worriedly, she calmed herself down and carefully recalled that had happened yesterday. But there seemed to be no problems during the period from the time she had gotten the plan to the time she had given it to Eaton. Besides her, the only person who could touch the plan was Jeanne. But it was impossible! She cared about August so much, so she must not have done such a thing. In an instant, all the things in her mind were mixed, making her completely clueless.
When it was time to get off work, Lucia finally realized what she should do was to meet August and explain it to him face to face no matter whether the leak of the plan had anything to do with her. But he had the company with Burton after the emergency meeting and had not come back. Lucia didn't know whether he had come up with any solution. It was already time to get off work, and she didn't know where he was.
After getting out of the company, Lucia returned home and sent a few messages to August, but he did not reply.
She mechanically ate dinner and took a shower. Sitting on the bed, she felt very uneasy. Finally, she looked at the time and found it was just nine o'clock. So, she gritted her teeth and picked up her phone to call Burton.
After the phone rang for a while, Burton answered, "Hey, Lucia?"
Lucia was overjoyed and quickly asked, "Burton, are you with President Adams now?"
"Yes, what's up?"
Lucia vaguely heard some noises over there when she said, "I want to meet him. I have something to tell him."
Burton paused for a second and said, "It is not convenient now.”
Lucia clenched her grip on the phone and asked, "Can you tell me where he is?" Burton hesitated for a moment and replied, "Perfect Fortune.”
The moment she heard his words, a tall and magnificent building flashed across her mind. She had passed by that place before. Perfect Fortune was a high-end club that common people could not enter.
Burton then said, "Lucia, if you have anything to talk about with him, you can do it tomorrow. I am busy, so I have to hang up now."
When the phone was hung up, Lucia took a deep breath, feeling a little impulsive. She didn't want to wait any longer. If she waited, a lot of things might happen tonight, and the rumors and suspicions might continue to ferment.
She gritted her teeth, turned over to get out of bed, changed her clothes, and left her apartment. Then, she took a taxi to Perfect Fortune. When she arrived, she opened the car door and looked at the bright and tall building in front. Then, she gritted her teeth, plucked up her courage, and went up the steps. But the waiter standing at the door reached out to stop her before she could speak. After he looked her up and down, he said coldly, "Please show me your VIP card.”
VIP card?" Lucia was stunned. She had not expected she would be blocked at the door.
She took a deep breath, pretended to be calm, and said, "One of your VIP customers invited me here."
The waiter replied with a serious look, “I'm sorry, but you can't enter withbut a VIP card.”
When the big shots like August came, the waiter would not ask them to show their VIP cards as long as seeing their faces. But Lucia was different. Moreover, she was dressed in ordinary clothes, so he would not let her enter.
"I'm really here to keep an appointment. I will come out within ten minutes..." "I'm sorry,” the waiter interrupted coldly and gestured for her to leave.
Lucia had no choice but to step aside with a frown, wondering what she should do. She had come here, so she must find a way to get in.
While she was deep in thought, she unintentionally walked around Perfect Fortune for a while. And
when she inadvertently looked up, she saw a small door on the side of the building.
It should be the side door for the staff to transport goods. A van was parked in I
front of it, and there are some baskets next to it.
Lucia took a deep breath and suddenly came up with an idea. She hurriedly looked around. Seeing no one nearby, she trotted over and entered the half-open door.
Sure enough, it was a staff passage for transporting goods. Lucia quickly walked through the corridor. When she suddenly heard voices ahead, she pushed a door of a room open and entered in a hurry.
When voices gradually approached, Lucia hid behind the door and held her 1
breath’. And she did not feel relieved until she heard them walk away.
Then, she turned back and looked around the small room. It seemed to be the locker room of the employees because there was a row of small cabinets with names on them
Seeing a waitress's uniform hanging next to her, she had an idea.
It would be difficult for her to look for August like this. But if she put on the uniform, it would become much easier. Lucia quickly changed her clothes, walked out, went through the corridor, and then entered the hall.
The decoration inside Perfect Fortune was stylish. There were stairs upward on both sides of the hall, and there was also an elevator. Lucia took a deep breath and guessed all the private rooms were upstairs.
After going up, she didn't know where to start. When she turned around, she accidentally bumped into a young waitress who was about the same age as her. When the waitress looked at Lucia with her round and bright black eyes, the latter quickly apologized, i'm sorry. I didn't see you."
The waitress then sized her up and smiled, "Are you new here? I've never seen you before.”
Lucia didn't dare to say anything but nodded quickly.
The waitress continued to ask, "Where are you going? A VIP private room?" Hearing this, Lucia nodded and asked, "The manager asked me to look for Mr.Adams. Do you know where he is?"
“Mr. Adams?" The waitress's eyes lit up when she replied, "I don't know which room he is in, but he must be in a luxury VIP room on the sixth floor."
Hearing this, Lucia was overjoyed and quickly thanked her. Once she knew which floor he was on, it would be much easier to find him.
