SWNOVELS Chapter 52
Chapter 052 Emma next to her was keenly aware of Lucia’s change in mood and hurriedly came over to ask, “What's wrong? Are they too noisy?” Lucia didn't know what to say, so she just shook her head gently “You can put on your headphones and take a nap. We'll be at Lakeside Manor soon.” Lucia nodded and put on the headphones to exclude the outside sound. After listening to a few songs, she felt better and got over it. She knew best how August treated her and she really shall not think nonsense just because of other people's gossip Soon, several buses in parallel turned a corner and arrived at a fairly open area. There was a lake halfway around the entire Lakeside Manor in the distance. “Wow, it's beautiful!” Lucia’s colleagues marveled at the beautiful scenery and were excited to get out of the buses, so they had little time to discuss any gossip Lucia took off her headphones, got her things, and got out of the bus with Emma The air was cool and fresh, and coming to such an environment, all of them couldn't help but relax. After a group of people from the Lion Group got off the bus, they went to the hotel to check in to receive their room cards, and then were scheduled for the activities afterward. Lucia and Emma came from the hotel room to the assembly hall and saw that their departmental colleagues did not look good As there were too many employees in the company, outdoor activities such as boating, orchard picking, and wilderness cs had to be carried out separately according to the department as a unit. As a result, the Administration Department came last and was assigned to do indoor recreational activities. Their whole department was full of complaints. "Why should we be ranked last? The outdoor activities are all divided out, so we have to stay inside?” “Yes! I've changed my clothes.” The supervisor, Carter, scowled, clapped her hands, and said, “All right, let's not talk too much. We all take turns and sooner or later it will be our turn. What are you complaining about?” Only when the supervisor spoke up did the colleagues stop complaining. Upon seeing that, Lisa said, “Didn't someone come up with some fun games? Come on, let's play together!” The atmosphere was slowly enlivened, and everyone was no longer sad. Guy, who was very popular in the department, planned the games. He laughed twice, and said, “The first game is Mouth-to-Mouth Passing of Cards!” When the words came out, all people were in an uproar. Lucia was a little confused. After carefully reciting the name of the game, she realized that it was a hot game of passing cards by mouth on a small video app. If the player was a little careless and the card fell, an accident would happen! Guy clapped his hands excitedly and directed the crowd to sit in a circle, with men and women sitting next to each other. Lucia sat there in a restless state, not knowing what to do. There were men on both sides of her. What if there was an accident and she really kissed one of them? Just as the atmosphere reached a climax, a person suddenly spoke up, “Mr. Adams...” Hearing that the crowd looked and saw August striding this way, followed by Burton and a few secretaries from the President's Office August was wearing an army green casual suit that outlined his perfectly proportioned fiqure, with a unique aura exuding from him. Lucia took a breath, her eyes following him. Carter immediately greeted him and smiled, “Mr. Adams, what brings you here?” “We don't have many people in the President's Office, so we can do indoor activities with you together.” August swept a glance at the crowd sitting in a circle and asked, “Are you playing a game?” Guy nodded and grinned, “Would Mr. Adams like to come and play with us?” Not as serious as usual, August nodded slightly. “Yes, we are out to relax, so let's all play together.” As soon as these words came out, a cheer came from the crowd. Some of the women in the Administration Department were even more nervous and excited. After August and the employees in the president's office were seated, he asked, “What kind of game is this?" August smiled and explained, “It's the game of passing cards by mouth which is very hot recently.” August's eyes darkened after he heard this. He looked up at Lucia naturally, smiling crookedly, “Is this too exciting?” August cooperated and said, “It's all for fun!” Lucia sat across from him, feeling so strange. If August didn't say anything else, it's awkward for them to sit together and play a game like this. August smiled and looked up at Carter, “Carter, will you play?” Carter sat aside and shook her head repeatedly, laughing, “This is a game for young people. Just don't count me in.” August smiled and stood up. “This is indeed a game for young people and married people can refuse to play this game.” Once these words came out, several married ones who did not dare to mess around immediately stood up to the side. Hearing this, Lucia happily and hurriedly got up to the side. August also stepped back. Guy said in surprise, “Mr. Adams, why are you gone too?" With his eyes sparkling, August smiled crookedly, “I'm married.” These words were like a heavy bomb, making a circle of people dumbfounded with shock. Some of the women who were expecting August to play the game pulled long faces and their hearts were breaking. August laughed lightly. “You play, and I'll play the rest of the games with you.” Lucia sat across from August and after hearing him say so, she felt warm inside. Luckily, he was there, otherwise, she really did not know what to do. Although they were sad, the people who hadn't married still played the game. After two or three rounds, they were not new to it, so Guy announced the second game, Come Together Like a Foot in a Shoe. Run as a team of two people with their feet tied together. The team that reached the finish line first won. There were prizes for the top three teams and penalties for the bottom three teams. Everyone was free to group. The two people who were generally close to each other would be divided into a team. Lucia didn't find Emma at first, so she searched again, only to see that Emma was being dragged by Lisa to form a team. When she looked around again, all the female colleagues in the Administration Department had already been divided into teams, leaving her alone. If she wanted to play the game, she could only group with one of those secretaries. But since Irene’s incident last time, the secretaries were now looking at her like a plague. “Lucia, how about we group together?” A male colleague from her department sent an invitation, but Lucia smiled and shook her head embarrassedly, “No, no.’ Seeing that she was about to be left alone, suddenly, a tall man next to her leaned over,"I'm with you.” When she heard the familiar voice, Lucia's ears perked up, and as soon as she looked up, she saw August standing beside her. “It's... Without waiting for her to say anything, August had already brought the red rope from the side and bent down to tie his eft foot and Luci's right foot together. The female colleagues next to them who had already divided into teams looked over in unison, some in awe, some sighing and more envying. “My God! If had known ths, I wouldn't have grouped up carly!” Ves, Mr. Adams i nice!” “Why Lucia? I regret itso much!”
