Chapter 405 You were the one
Lucia's body was stiff. She gritted her teeth and thought quickly.
She looked up at August and said coldly, "Why has it to be me?"
There were many excellent directors in Austos City. Lucia thought August could get a better director to produce. the short film for his company.
August turned around and glanced at Lucia, saying in a flat tone, "Because I think you are the one.” August had seen Lucia's work, he thought the style of her work was the one he wanted. Besides, he did that because of personal reasons.
Now the shooting work about Timothy and Janet was almost over. As long as Janet was in a good state, they would finish the last set of photos soon. And then, he couldn't use the excuse of work to make Lucia stay with him.
And he couldn't let Lucia leave before he figured something out.
Lucia clenched her fist and took a deep breath. "It has to be me?"
August looked at Lucia deeply and said without hesitation. "Yes, you are the one.”
Hearing August's words, Lucia knew she had no other choice.
Lucia picked the contract up again and read it. Then she took a deep breath and asked, "You will give me that video as long as I finish producing the short film?"
August nodded his head lightly and promised. "Yes. And I won't keep the negative film."
Hearing that, Lucia gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, I will take the job."
She didn't care what August's purpose was, the most important thing Lucia thought now was to get that video and then destroy it, otherwise, that video would be like a time bomb that would explode and ruin her life anytime.
The thing that happened last night was a mistake that was caused accidentally by her, but she didn't want the rest of her life to be ruined because of it.
So she had to pay for her mistakes.
Lucia double-checked the contract. Then she picked up the signature pen and signed her name on the contract.
August sat across from Lucia. He raised his eyebrows lightly when he saw Lucia's serious expression. August signed the contract, too. Then he said in a flat tone, "Director Brook will be the assistant director, you can contact him if there are any problems.”
Lucia glanced at August coldly and replied gruffly, "Okay, President Adams.”
After saying that, Lucia grabbed the contract and left the office without a backward glance.
August sat in the chair and he had mixed emotions in his heart as he saw Lucia leaving coldly. August knew that Lucia might hate him, but this time, he must figure out the truth.
About five minutes later, someone knocked on the door of the office. Burton opened the door and came in. He reminded August softly. "President Adams, I just got a few calls from home, there might be some urgent matters.”
Hearing that, August rubbed his forehead and probably knew what was going on. He glanced at his bandaged arm and said in a flat tone, "Let's go home."
He had to face something.
That day, the accident that happened in the stable alarmed many people, and a lot of gossip got around. Although August used public relations to suppress the gossip, there were still more and more people who know about it.
What made August feel even stranger was that the accident happened so suddenly. He suspected that someone. manipulated it. He asked his men to investigate it, and surprisingly, he made some unexpected discoveries. After leaving Director Brook's office, August took about half an hour and arrived at Jeanne's wedding house As expected, as soon as August parked and got out of the car, he saw the black Bentley parked in the yard. The servant who came out to greet him took August's coat and reminded him. "Mr. Adams. Old Mr. Adams and Old Mrs. Adams are here."
Hearing that, August nodded slightly and didn't reply, walking quickly towards the house.
When he walked into the hall, he saw Eliot, Christina, and Jeanne sitting on the sofa.
"August, you're back!" Jeanne blinked her bright eyes and walked to August immediately, "How's your arm

August avoided her hand and looked at Eliot who had a cold expression, saying in a flat tone, "Father." "Humph!" Eliot snorted coldly. He shouted angrily, "I thought you don't know you still have a family!" Hearing Eliot's tone that was full of blame, August walked to Eliot slowly and asked, "Father, what's the matter?”
"You don't know what happened?” Eliot glanced at August's arm coldly. "Tell me, how did you get your arm hurt?"
Hearing that, August was a little annoyed and glanced at Jeanne
Jeanne had an innocent look on her face. She lowered her head and didn't speak anything.
August took a deep breath and replied honestly, "I hurt it accidentally on the stable.”
Eliot was so angry that he slapped severely on the table. "Accidentally? To save a woman that has nothing to do with you, you'd rather have your arm hurt. Are you out of your mind? Now all the people in Austos City knew that not only do you ignore your wife, but you get hooked on another woman."
August frowned. He fell silent and didn't reply.
August had guessed that his father would know about this matter before he came back. But he didn't expect that his father would know about it so fast.
August glanced at Jeanne and knew the reason.
A few seconds later, August said, "Father, I just did the thing that I thought was right.”
Hearing that, Eliot stared at August with his sharp eyes. "Right thing? August, are you trying to kill me?"
After saying that, Eliot stood up and walked to August.
Seeing that, Christina stood up instantly. She stopped Eliot by grabbing his arm and persuaded him "Eliot, calm down. There is no bad influence on us for August doing that. At least, people will think that we are friendly.”
"Friendly?" Eliot snorted. "How is that friendly? People will only think that he is a man who philanders with other women and doesn't care about his family at all.”
After saying that, Eliot turned his head to look at August. "You have married Jeanne for more than two years and we still don't have a grandson or granddaughter. And now you have made such a gossip. Shame on you!" Eliot's words were getting harsher and harsher. August frowned tightly, but he was still expressionless. At that time, Jeanne said suddenly, "Dad, it's also my fault this time. I should stay with August all the time. I'm sorry.”
"It's not your fault.” Eliot said coldly, "Just tell me if he didn't treat you well. I will definitely teach him a lesson.”
Eliot kept blaming August for a while, Christina and Jeanne persuaded him again, then the atmosphere was getting relaxed.
Finally, August looked at Eliot and said softly, "Dad, please don't be angry. I'l go to my room."
After saying that, August walked toward the stairs.
Seeing that, Jeanne said, "August, I'l go with you!"
August didn't refuse and let Jeanne follow behind him.
After getting in the room and closing the door, Jeanne held August's arm spontaneously and asked softly,
"August, I also didn't know where dad heard that from, he came to us suddenly. You won't be mad at him, do you?"
After saying that, Jeanne looked at August with an innocent look on her face.
August stared at Jeanne coldly and took his arm back from her hand, keeping the distance from her and asking coldly, “You really don't now?"
How could Eliot know about it so fast if she didn't tell Eliot on purpose?
