Chapter 286
Thinking of this, Lucia felt even happier. She raised the corner of her mouth and tilted her head slightly to look at August, "You still believe in me, right?”
August was stunned. Looking at the woman's smiling face, his heart tightened and beat fast. Before he could answer, Lucia lowered her head, smiled, and said softly, "I understand. President Adams, if you
don't mind, I'll go and do my work first."
After that, she turned around and walked out of his office.
It was not until the door was closed that August came to his senses.
His heart was still beating wildly out of control, and the woman's bright smile kept sticking in his brain. That charming, lively, and inexplicably sweet... girl.
"Bang bang!"
There was a knock on the door, and Burton walked in quickly with a document in his hand. When he saw
August's expression, he suddenly exclaimed, "Mantis, you..."
August's tone was as cold as ever. He looked up at him, frowned impatiently, and asked, "What?" Burton hesitated for a moment and said, "Your face is particularly red. Do you have a fever?" August's face darkened when he heard that.
Did he blush? Why would he blush?
He raised his eyes and looked at Burton gloomily, and asked, "Is that so?"
Burton nodded decisively and answered obtrusively, "Yes, it's really red, just like... When somebody is falling in love!"
Burton suddenly remembered Paula. Sometimes, when he was with her, he would indeed blush, just like his
president was now.
"What are you thinking about?" August frowned unhappily, grabbed a document next to him, and threw it at
Burton angrily.
Burton dodged quickly. He smiled embarrassedly and bent down to pick up the documents on the ground. "Mr. Adams, I'm just telling the truth..."
Recently, he had been in a relationship, so he was very clear about what a man would look like when he was in
love.
August noticed that there was something unusual with Burton recently, so he raised his eyebrows and asked,
"You and that Paula...”
He didn't ask much about it when Burton came back from Figo City the last time, but judging from his
performance, it was probably a good result.
As expected, Burton scratched the back of his head and admitted shyly, "We're dating now.” Hearing this, the light flashed through August's eyes, he hesitated and said lightly, "It's a good thing. It seems
that I shouldn't always let you work overtime in the future.”
Burton smiled and answered, "Trust me, Mr. Adams, I won't let my date affect my working state.” August nodded and signed for him to leave.
After Burton left, August sat alone in the room, his thoughts in a mess.
He didn't expect that Burton would get a girlfriend earlier than him. Although he had a nominal girlfriend
Jeanne, he was getting more and more confused about whether the relationship they had was love or not.
He would love and take care of her like a younger sister, and he would accompany her when she was in pain. He
would do everything he could to arrange the operation for her. But he didn’t feel the palpitation, nor did he feel
the feeling or "love" like what Burton was talking about.
Aurust pulled his thought back, looking at the mountain of documents on his desk. lle rubbed his eyebrows
and turned his attention to his work. For the whole afternoon, Burtond been investigating: Jonathu's backround. It sounded easy, but the work
turned out to be dittkult,
Bright, a fashion brand under the Lion Group, has been developing well in the past two years. It could be
regarded as a famous brand with its unique characteristics in the industry and had cooperated with many
stars
In other words, countless stars wanted to work with the Lion group. But as it had just gone through a storm,
and words got around, it would be a little hard to find new cooperation at this time. No one wanted to be associated with the Lion group at this time. If the netizens had any opinions about the
brand, it would also affect the stars who cooperated with it. Therefore, everyone was cautious at this time. Lucia had been busy for the whole afternoon, but she didn't even find the contact information of Jonathan's
agent.
Suddenly, she thought of a person. As soon as she got off work, she called Paula to ask her out. Paula was in the music circle and knew a lot of people. Maybe she really has a channel to get the contact
information of Jonathan Black's agent. As soon as Paula arrived at their meeting place, she flat-out asked, "What do you need?" Today, Lucia had offered to treat her to a hotpot and Paula knew that she must have something to ask of her. Seeing Paula knew what she wanted to do, Lucia smiled, "Paula, you're really amazing. How do you know that I
want you to help me with something?"
Paula proudly raised her chin and said, "Of course, I just know you too well. So what makes you so anxious? Lucia cut straight to the chase and told her what had happened. After hearing Lucia's story, Paula said, "You're lucky to have me. I do have a friend who works in the
entertainment industry. I believe she could get the information you need." Hearing that, Lucia seemed to see hope in an instant. She patted Paula's shoulder and said, "Today, you can
order whatever you want. Good job!" Paula's eyes flashed as she heard Lucia's words, then she said, "I'll call Burton to come..." The table suddenly fell silent for a few seconds. Lucia looked at Paula in surprise and said, "Paula! Are you saying that you and Burton Harris..." It was the first time they had met since Paula came back from Figo City, and they had been talking about
Lucia's work, so Lucia hadn't gotten a chance to ask what happened between Paula and Burton "We're dating now," Paula said and blushed. "I was going in rive you a surprise..." Lucia couldn't help but smile, "Well done! You just forgot your best friend after having a boyfriend!" "No, I didn't!" The two of them chatted and laughed for a long time before returning to the main topic of what happened in
Figo City.
When they were talking about Burton Harris, Paula put down her phone and said, "Burton said that he was
busy and couldn't come. Recently, he seems to have been busy preparing for the engagement ceremony, so..." Paula suddenly realized what she was talking about and stopped, looking uneasily at Lucia.
When Lucia heard about the engagement ceremony, her heart also tightened in an instant. She bit her lip,
looked at Paula, and asked, "When will the engagement ceremony be?"
Paula regretted so much that she even wanted to slap herself, but as Lucia asked, she had to reply, "l heard
from Burton that it seems to be this Sunday."
Lucia was shocked and unconsciously clenched her fists.
There were only a few days left.
In the blink, August was going to become the groom of another woman.
There were some inexplicable emotions in her heart.
Paula asked tentatively, "Are you alright? Don't tell me you still care about him."
Lucia smiled and pretended to be relaxed, "What should I care about? It's a good thing. He's a good match for
Emily..."
"Really?" Paula reached out to hold her hand and asked seriously, "Do you mean it?"
She was her best friend.
How would she not see that Lucia still cared about him?
