Submit to the Boss He Rules the Boardroom and the Bedroom novel Chapter 527

Chapter 527 Looking at Her with New Eyes

Zane didn't think much about it but told him whole the story in detail, saying, "Since I learned Lucia has come back from abroad, I have been secretly protecting her. Once, she met Ms. Kelly in the hospital, and then they quarreled..." Hearing what had happened to Lucia and Jeanne behind the rockery in the hospital, August unconsciously frowned. Unexpectedly, Jeanne was even more ruthless than he had thought. If he hadn't heard Zane say it with his own ears, he wouldn't have believed it at all...

Zane specifically related how he had met Lucia and told her his identity and why they had decided to look for August together extremely specifically.

When he was talking about them looking for clues together, Kylan couldn't help interrupting, "Actually, I began to

admire Lucia when we were in Evergreen Temple. None of us had expected to meet Ethan there..."

Hearing him mention Ethan, August immediately thought of what Lucia had said when meeting him today. It turned out that she did have encountered Ethan...

August was stunned for a short while and quickly asked, "What happened at that time?"

When Kylan related what had happened vividly, August's heart was racing to the rhythm of the story. He had not

expected her to be so courageous. Under such circumstances, she had remained calm in the face of danger. Now, he was looking at her with new eyes.

The girl who was flustered whenever problems cropped up had disappeared. Now, Lucia's state of mind and cleverness had improved to a higher level. Realizing this, he inexplicably felt gratified. When he heard Kylan talk about how they had looked for him in Evergreen Temple together, August frowned slightly and had a strange feeling.

If what Kylan and Zane had said was true, it was just a coincidence that they had gone to Evergreen Temple that day because they had not even known he was there. But why had Bishop gone there to look for him so soon? All the clues

pointed to that Bishop had followed Lucia to the temple. If Lucia had not known he was in the temple, why had Bishop

been so sure of his whereabouts? These clues had led him to a dead end, so he could not figure it out now. August had a headache, so when listening to Kylan and Zane speaking, he was absent-minded.

"Mr. Adams!"

Hearing Kylan's call, August came back to his senses. Kylan then asked, "Next, should we still stick to your plan?" August nodded with a stern expression, "Yes, do what I said. Don't let Bishop notice anything. And ensure her safety."

Kylan and Zane responded in unison, "Yes, Mr. Adams!"

August nodded slightly, "Okay! You guys go get ready."

Watching them leave, August stayed alone in the yard for a while before turning the wheelchair around.

This was the first shot he fired at Bishop, so he could not allow the latter to hit his soft underbelly. So, August must seize

the initiative from the very beginning.

When he drove the wheelchair into the house, he subconsciously looked in the direction of the dining room. Lucia was

still eating, ignoring him.

The maid beside her said, "Mr. Adams, dinner is ready. Would you like to have some?"

Hearing this, August glanced at a dinner specially prepared for him on the table next to Lucia, hesitated for a moment,

and nodded, "Okay."

When he was approaching Lucia, the latter suddenly put down her fork, stood up, and smiled at the maid, saying politely,

"I'm done eating. It's delicious."

Then, she turned around and walked away without looking at him.

She had asked herself whether she had regrated giving birth to the two kids recklessly. And her answer was no. Looking back on the past, she thought her decision was correct no matter how hard life was.

Suddenly, there was a muffled "bang" outside the door. Lucia was taken aback, suspecting that she was hallucinating. The sound seemed to come from the corridor, so it was some distance away from her bedroom. Lucia turned off the phone, sat up, and listened intently, holding her breath. There seemed to be some more noises outside that she couldn't have heard if she had not listened carefully. Lucia felt inexplicably uneasy, so she slowly got off the bed and walked to the

door.

But when she arrived, there was no sound anymore. Had she heard it wrong?

After hesitating for a moment, she still turned the doorknob and pushed the door open. But she saw no one at the door. When she looked in the direction of the corridor, she found someone sitting at the staircase. From her angle, she could

only see half of the person's back...

Taking a deep breath, she mustered up her courage and stepped forward. It wasn't until she reached the stairs that she realized the person sitting on the ground was August!

His wheelchair had slipped down the stairs, and he was sitting on the top stairs with a strange expression. When he saw

her, a hint of embarrassment flashed across his face.

Seeing this, Lucia guessed what had happened. Probably when August had wanted to go downstairs, he had accidentally fallen off the wheelchair. After all, no one had helped him. A slanted wooden board had been installed on the stairs to make it easier for him to go up and down, but it was quite dangerous for him to operate the wheelchair on the slope by

himself.

Lucia took a deep breath, couldn't help showing a soft face, and said gently, "You should not go up and down the stairs

by yourself."

Then, she went down a few steps, righted the wheelchair that had turned over, and then moved it to the top of the stairs.
