Chapter 392 Aren't You Going out?
It wasn't until Lucia put on the suit jacket that August looked away and stared coldly at the two women. He stepped forward and asked seriously as if he was interrogating a prisoner, "What do you want?" The two women trembled with fear.
One of them lowered her head and said in a trembling voice, "We... We didn't do it on purpose..." "Is that so?" August snorted. Apparently, he didn't believe them at all. He had just seen them push Lucia to the floor as he walked past the restroom. At that moment, he couldn't restrain his anger. The two women cowered. "We really didn't mean to..."
"Really?" August asked rhetorically. Before they could answer, he turned to look at Burton and ordered in a cold voice, "Burton, go to the surveillance room and pull the security tapes!”
When it came to the security tapes, the two women were afraid and couldn't say anything.
The woman in the black dress suddenly thought of something and quickly looked up at August. "Mr. Adams, it's our fault. We'll apologize to Ms. Mitchell! Please forgive us for Jean's sake. We're Jean's good friends!"
At the mention of Jeanne, August's face darkened. They were throwing gas on the fire. He frowned at Burton and ordered, "Have the security kick them out!" Then he turned to look at Lucia without hesitation and said coldly, "You, come with me."
Lucia felt better when August dealt with the two women, but she was confused when he asked her to come with him.
She asked with a frown, "Why?"
August glanced at her cheongsam and said coldly, "I don’t mind if you want to wear it all the time.” Lucia looked down in surprise. Her face turned pale when she saw the torn cheongsam underneath the jacket. It was strange and would still attract a lot of attention. It was obvious that her cheongsam was torn. Besides, the jacket was August's. She didn't want to be misunderstood. She gritted her teeth and could only catch up with August.
They walked through the hallway and took the elevator to the third floor. As soon as they got out of the elevator, August went to the second room on the right and opened the door.
Lucia hesitated when August turned to stare at her. She took a deep breath, pushed the doubt aside, and entered the room.
The room was simply decorated with little furniture, but everything looked upscale.
Lucia followed August to the couch, and August turned to look at her. “I had a dress prepared. It'll be here soon.” Before Lucia could answer, he went to the wine cabinet, took out a bottle of wine, opened the fridge, and put ice cubes in it. Then he slowly walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked out as he sipped his wine.
Lucia glanced at his broad shoulders and thin waist. She felt that she could even see his strong muscles through his shirt. Inexplicably, her heart raced. She looked away, trying to calm down, but suddenly, she realized he wasn't about to leave.
What if someone saw them in the same room together?
Lucia sat up straight, took a deep breath, cleared her throat, and asked seriously, "Aren't you going out?" August froze for a moment and slowly turned to look at her. He raised his eyebrows slightly and said casually,
"Why? I've seen your whole body, haven't I?"
Lucia was speechless and embarrassed.
They had been married and had done everything, but after all, they were divorced.
Just then, there was a knock on the door and a voice outside said, "Mr. Adams, I'm here to deliver the dress.” August went to open the door, took a delicate bag from the man, and closed the door without hesitation. He returned to the couch and set the bag down next to Lucia. "Change it." Then he walked away and picked up his glass of wine.
Lucia glanced at the logo on the bag. After a moment's hesitation, she took the dress to the
bathroom.
It was a simple long beige dress. The most important thing was that it fit her well.
Lucia looked at herself in the mirror with a satisfied smile. She put her cheongsam in the bag and walked out.
At the window, August heard the door open and turned slightly. A glint of surprise passed across his eyes when he saw Lucia. He had just picked out a dress at random. He hadn't expected her to look so good in it.
The only thing that was inappropriate was her red lips. They went well with her cheongsam, but now she looked gentle in this dress and her red lips were stark.
Lucia didn't notice August's slightly downcast eyes. She picked up her handbag and said to him, “Thank you for helping me. Il pay for the dress.” After that, she gave him a small nod and walked to the door. Just as she put her hand on the doorknob, she felt a gust of wind behind her, and her wrist was grabbed. She let out a scream as she was turned around,
The next second, August took her chin in his big hand and said in a low voice, "Wipe off your lipstick before you go." He rubbed Lucia's soft lips directly with his thumbs
The smudged lipstick made her lips look so inviting
August felt a great compulsion. He deliberately looked away and wiped his hands with a tissue. “Done.” Lucia was confused and frowned when she realized what was going on. "What's wrong with you?" She reached out her hand to push him. She really didn't know why he did that!
August raised an eyebrow and said casually, "I like you better like this."
