Chapter 409 It's A Serious Matter About Work
The car door was closed. Without waiting for Lucia to answer, the car started and drove into the main road.
The car door was locked. Lucia pulled it a few times but couldn't open it, and suddenly became a little anxious,
"Where are you taking me?!"
"You'll know when we arrive.” August said calmly, "It's a serious matter about work."
Hearing what he said, Lucia became quiet. She took a deep breath and asked suspiciously, "Is it related to the
public welfare short film?"
August leaned on the backrest and nodded.
When Lucia heard this, she was at a loss for words.
She had been idle at home in the past few days. She couldn't wait to start work as soon as possible. She was
planning to leave immediately after she got the video. But she hadn't expected to meet August by accident.
today. Since he said it was work-related, she didn't have any reason to reject it.
Along the way, the atmosphere in the car was terrifyingly silent until her phone rang, and broke the silence. The childlike and cute ringtones keep ringing, which was the exclusive ringtone set by Lucia for Timothy and
Janet.
Before she could take out her phone, August stared at her from the side.
Lucia's heart tightened and she looked over subconsciously. When she saw August's faint smile, she took at
deep breath and said, "Is there a problem?"
August glanced at her lightly, and said, "Childish."
Lucia got angry. She wanted to refute it, but she didn't dare to. Now he was her boss after all. If she messed
with him, he could make a few excuses to torture her during the film shooting.
Lucia took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in her heart, rolled her eyes at him, and took out her phone to
answer the video call from Timothy and Janet.
"Mom!" With the crisp voices, the heads of the two children appeared on the phone screen
Seeing the two cute children, Lucia instantly cheered up and she couldn't help smiling, "How's your swimming
learning? Is it fun?”
Timothy giggled on the other end of the phone, "It's fun! It's just that Janet is so stupid. She took a few sips of
water with her swimming ring!"
When Janet heard this, she pouted, "That's better than you swimming like a frog!"
Seeing the children about to quarrel, Lucia quickly tried to persuade them, "Okay, this is just the third lesson.
You guys are great. You will learn how to swim after the class is over!”
She was so focused on persuading the children that she didn't even notice that the man next to her had turned
his head to look at her.
When he saw her smiling and exuding a soft glow, he couldn't help smiling. Lucia was not a gentlewoman in
the traditional sense. But at this moment, she was speaking so gently with the radiance of motherhood,
making him want to get close.
On the screen, Janet asked excitedly, "Mom, when can you come and swim with us?!"
"I can accompany you to class next time!" There suddenly came a male voice from beside her. Then, August
moved closer to her, looked at Timothy and Janet on the screen, and said softly, "I can accompany you."
His sudden appearance made Timothy and Janet stunned on the other end of the phone. Soon, Janet was the
first to react, "Handsome Uncle! Mom, you are with Handsome Uncle!"
Lucia didn't know how to answer, and her hand holding the phone froze. She opened her mouth, but couldn't
speak.
Timothy widened his eyes and asked seriously, "Mom, where are you going with Handsome Uncle?” The two children got excited and Lucia was immediately struck dumb.
She hadn't expected August to suddenly show himself in front of the camera, so she didn't think about how to
deal with this situation at all.
Just when she fell silent, August suddenly stretched out his hand, held her hand, and slowly turned the screen
to make the camera focus on him.
"Your mother and I have some work to do. When I have time another day, I'll go see you swimming. What do
you think?"
The two children were in a good mood and agreed in unison. August chatted with them for a while and then
hung up the phone unhurriedly.
Sitting beside her, Lucia was completely dumbfounded. She didn't react until August put the phone in her
hand.
She gritted her teeth, angry and helpless, "Why did you show yourself in front of the camera?!" August raised his eyebrows and said with a faint smile, "You didn't say I wasn't allowed to do that.” Lucia was speechless. She put away her phone angrily, glanced at him coldly, leaned against the window, and
stopped talking.
After a short while, the car arrived at Director Brook's studio.
August took Lucia to the office, discussed the idea and planning of the filming with other team members, and
had afternoon tea together. Time passed very quickly.
When they walked out of the studio, it was getting dark outside. Lucia thought that today's work was over, but
August took her directly to a modeling studio..
Looking at the minimalist logo at the door, Lucia frowned, "What are we doing here?"
"There is still work to do tonight,” August said lightly. Then he turned to look at the store manager on the side.
and said, "One hour, light makeup.”
The store manager nodded immediately. Before Lucia could say anything else, a few people took her to the
place for changing clothes and style.
After they worked on her for an hour, Lucia was already bored and drowsy. When she heard someone's soft
voice in her ear, she woke up abruptly, "Ms. Mitchell, please take a look. Are you satisfied with the look?"
Lucia opened her eyes in a daze. When she saw the woman in the mirror, she was stunned.
She had to admit that the people of this studio were good at their job. She was wearing very light makeup and
the details were very exquisite. Every inch of her skin and every eyelash could withstand a closer look.
After changing into a light pink suit, she followed the store manager into the lobby. August had changed into a
suit with no folds.
As soon as he looked up, he saw Lucia walking towards him, and his heart somehow skipped a beat. She was refreshing, elegant, and yet stunning, which was what he wanted.
He smiled, stood up, glanced over her face lightly, and said in a calm tone, "Let's go to Star Venue." When he mentioned Star Venue, Lucia suddenly remembered that there was an event there tonight, the Austos
City Art Exchange.
This art exchange brought together elites from various fields in the art world to discuss, learn and make
friends. This was the purpose of this exchange.
August took her there presumably to let her get to know some big shots in the director and film
and television. industries. After all, with these people, their later work would become easier and
smoother.
In short, August was paving the way for his career. She was just a soldier under his command. Thinking of this,
Lucia felt an inexplicable bitterness in her heart, and her heart sank.
