Chapter 306 Throwing Herself on Him
When Lucia returned to her small apartment in the evening, she had no appetite. After cooking some porridge,
she went back to the bedroom and took out the dress she was going to wear tomorrow. The dress with perfect
texture was hung up, looking like a painting. When she sat on the bed and looked up at it in a daze, what had
happened between August and her lashed across lier mind like playing a movie.
Suddenly, the mobile phone on the bed rank. After slie slowly picked it up, she saw a message froin an unknown
ID saying, "Come to the crew tomorrow. If you come, I will consider endorsing the product.” The tone was cornmanding, and the message mentioned the crew and the endorsement, so she knew the
sender must be Jonathan. Therefore, she sneered without replying. Jonathan had deceived her twice. So, when
he took the initiative to ask her to go over, she believed he just wanted to play a trick on her again. He said he
would consider”, but she did not think he had ever considered it at all.
It did not matter that she had been deceived twice, but she would never allow herself to be played by this big
star all the time. Moreover, she had to attend August's engagement ceremony tomorrow, so she did not have
time to serve him. After making up her mind, she stopped thinking about it, washed up, and went to bed. The next morning, Lucia got up, stretched herself, and felt the long-lost comfort of a morning at home. She
was busy all the time, so she barely had time to make breakfast. She always hurriedly left her apartment either to the company or to the hospital. Today, she was going to attend August's engagement ceremony, so she had
a rare leisurely morning. After breakfast, she looked at the time, put on simple makeup, and
changed into the dress, intending to go to
the venue of the engagement ceremony. But when she was about to go out, she received a message from August, saying, "Go to the company to fetch
my watch and cigarettes. They are in the leftmost drawer of my desk. I am waiting for you in the dressing
room at the venue.” Lucia couldn't help tightening her grip on the phone while thinking of their embarrassing meeting last time.
But the tone of his message was normal and cold as usual. So, it seemed he had really been drunk that night... Glancing at the time, Lucia didn't dare to waste any time, so she immediately put on a windbreaker and went
out. She was wearing a long dress, high heels, and a thin windbreaker, revealing her fair-skinned thin neck
and slender calves. She had an elegant temperament. And as soon as she went out, she attracted a lot of
attention. She walked quickly toward the gate of the cominunity because the car she had booked on Uber was
waiting outside. Then, she got into the car and asked the driver to go directly to the Lion Group. There were few people in the company on Saturday. Lucia went directly to the President's Office. After entering
August's office, she opened the leftmost drawer and saw a luxury watch and a leather cigarette box with
foreign words on it. She immediately picked them up and put them in her bag. When she was about to close the
drawer, she suddenly saw a photo. In the photo, she was soundly asleep on the sofa in the Adams's villa and covered with a fluffy blanket, showing a tranquil expression. When had this photo been taken? Why did not she know? Looking at the background in the photo, she knew it had been taken when she had lived in the Adams's villa
after getting married to August. But she did not remember anything about it at all. So, it must be August who
had secretly taken this photo of her. Lucia had complex emotions and didn't know whether she should be
happy or sad. But she felt as if a bright and hot spark had been ignited in her heart. August must have feelings for her, right? Such a thought suddenly popped into her mind, but she denied it the next second. If he had feelings for her, he would not be engaged to Jeanne. Lucia showed a self- mocking smile,
gritted her teeth, reached out to close the drawer, suppressed her excitement, and walked out of the office. She must not have any illusions about lim. Today, lie would someone else's fiance and would have nothing to
do with her any longer. On the way to the venue, Lucia calmed herself down. After arriving, she showed the
invitation letter to the waiter at the door and went inside She was not late. And the guests were arriving: one after another, and everyone was chatting happily in groups.
Looking around the exquisitely and elegantly decorated hall, Lucia took a deep breath, thinking it would take a
lot of time for her to find the dressing room in such a big place. She walked aside, stopped a waiter with a tray, and asked, "Could you please tell me where the dressing room is?" The waiter replied politely, "Go down the corridor on the right, and you will see the dressing rooms. The
innermost one belongs to Mr. Adams and Ms. Kelly who are coing to get engaged today." Lucia thanked him, walked in the direction he had said, went out of the hall through the door on the right, walked down the corridor, and saw a row of rooms there. Suddenly, she thought of something, so she quickly
took out the watch and cigarette case from lier bag and held them in her hand. If she went in empty-handed
and met Jeanne, the latter would misunderstand again. So, she decided to hold them in her hand and walked
inside openly. Walking to the room at the end of the corridor, Lucia took a deep breath, raised her hand, and knocked on the
door. She waited for two seconds, but no one responded. So, she knocked again and asked, "Mr. Adams, are
you in there?"
There was still no response. She hesitated and didn't know what to do. After a pause, she gathered up her
courage, hold the doorknob, and turned it. The door was not locked, so it was opened.
Lucia cautiously popped her head inside and saw rows of clothes racks and two make-up tables facing each
other. However, no people were inside. Suddenly, she saw a phone in the familiar black frosted phone case. It
must be August's phone! She walked over, put the watch and cigarette case beside the phone, and sent a text message to him, saying,
"Mr. Adams, I didn't see you in the dressing room, so I put the things on the table.”
August might have cone out to deal with some other thing, and he would understand when he came back and
saw the message. After sending the message, she put away her phone and turned to leave. But as soon as she turned around, she
saw a tall man staring intensely at her at the door. She was startled and involuntarily took two steps back. But
she accidentally stepped on the lemn of her dress in panic, lost her balance, and then fell to the side. When August was about to speak, he saw her stumbling, so he immediately stepped forward, stretched out to
grab her arm, and pulled her over. When Lucia was pulled forward hard, she was caught off guard and fell into his arms aso
When August's strong hands held her waist, she finally stood steadily. When she recovered from the shock and raised her head, she saw his impeccably handsome face. He looked down at her, showed a hall-smile, and asked, "Are you throwing yourself on me on purpose?”
