Submit to the Boss He Rules the Boardroom and the Bedroom novel Chapter 829

Chapter 829 She Works for the Rival

Currer Sullen flew into a fury at the sight of Lucia, only fixing on her with the resentful gaze.

Returning Currer's glare with her fearless gaze, Lucia gracefully got herself seated at the other end of the sofa. ' What a coincidence Miss Sullen is here too." she smiled softly.

The eagerness on Reggio Smith's face froze at her greeting to Currer. Do you know each other?" he asked in a harsh tone as he examined the two women narrowly.

Of course. I've known each other for years." Lucia raised her eyebrows.' Miss Sullen used to work for Cloud Technology, and we often vied for the projects in the bidding."

The tension on Reggio's face was soon replaced by the iconic smile of an educated gentlemen as he introduced the two parties to each other.

Lucia didn't listen to him carefully, nor was she interested in his introduction. She snorted when Reggio finally finished his presentation, ' It's not my business what Mr. Smith and Miss Sullen is up to. What I know is I didn't get due respect, and that leads to my resolve to cancel our cooperation. But why do you invite me in when it's getting too late?"

Mrs. Adams, I'm terribly sorry but I'm really too busy to attend to your affair today." explained Reggio. 'In fact, we are so good friends that you can enter my office freely without any making appointment beforehand."

His words had Currer and August turn to Lucia in astonishment, though out of different reasons.

Yet Lucia only replied to Reggio with a cold sneer, "It seems you've forgotten we are no friends since that night when we met in Austos International Hotel."

'Lucia..." Reggio hurried to explain in an agitated tone, "that was a mistake. I can make apologies to you if you do mind that matter."

There's no call for that. I came for the business rather than private apologies." she rejected coldly.

With a sigh in despair, Reggio exclaimed after a long monologue in some incomprehensible language, "Everyone knows I'm after you. I'll try my best to win over you heart and make you Mrs. Smith one day."

A snort came abruptly, which drew the attentions of everyone to August, who had always been reticent.

We vie with each other for business, but that doesn't mean we can't be friends in private terms." Lucia then covered her smiling mouth and turned to Reggio with a sweet manner, "Look, Miss Sullen is still nursing grudge against me for the matter of bidding years ago.’

Different from Currer's sexy and gorgeous style, Lucia's charm of noble grace had great appeal to Reggio. Lapsing into an obsessive gaze at her, Reggio hurried to reply, "Just regard her as your underling if she doesn't like to be your friend."

Hell no!" Currer rose to her feet from the sofa. Her voice sounded so jarring, but rage had stopped her from minding that. "Mr. Smith, she is a local and you cant place such a dangerous bomb around you!

August thumped the cup onto the table with a bang, which brought the whole room into a fraught silence. Currer looked back, just to meet his bloodshot eyes. She suddenly realized she had said the wrong words, and could only turn to check the reaction of Reggio, emboldened by the courage from nowhere.

The obsession on Reggio's face had been replaced by a ruthless look. How he wanted to take the life of these two women now!

With a quick flash of coldness in her eyes, Lucia exclaimed in her heart how foolish Currer was getting now. A matter of top confidentiality like overseas trading should have been leaked out by Currer when she hadn't fully grasped the information about the background of her rival. Reggio would definitely abandon such a reckless staff.

Suppressing her urge to sneer, Lucia tilted her head at his cold gaze with an ignorant and innocent manner, "It's true that I don't have any plan to go abroad currently. I won't immigrate easily since all my property is at home now. But...’ She deliberately paused before she went on with a thoughtful look, "the option is not totally excluded if I'm going to gain some property abroad.
