Lucia and Paula looked towards where the voice came from practically at the same time.
Irene was standing behind them'® diagonally, with her arms folded around her chest and a sarcastic look on her face. When Irene saw Paula next to Lucia, her face darkened. She said in a strange tone, "What? You brought a friend with you
today? What are you doing here
Lucia knew that Irene was just sneering and trying to make fun of her, so she didn't say anything. After a brief glance at Irene, she turned back to Paula and asked softly, "What do you want to eat later, Paula? I'll take you there."
Seeing that Lucia didn't respond and ignored her completely, Irene felt a surge of anger and said, "Stop pretending, Lucia. Everyone in the company knows that you are she said that, the others who were waiting for the elevator all looked askance at forward and approached Irene. "Hey, old lady, why are you so hostile? What do you mean by an affair? Does it have anything to do with you whether Lucia comes to the company or not? Do you think you're the boss here? You're such a busybody. No wonder your face anger and she stretched out her hand to point at Paula. Paula didn't care at all. She simply flicked Irene's hand away. Her eyes lingered briefly on the badge at Irene’s chest before her mouth curved slightly. “Irene Rodriguez, right? I'll remember you. You'd better watch your mouth in the company, or you'll get beaten up. If you dare to bully Lucia, I won't let you get away with it." Paula was already half a head taller
could utter a word. On the side, Lucia hadn't expected that Paula would say that to Irene. Seeing this scene, she felt some unexplainable pleasure in her heart. When she The elevator is here.”
"Okay, let's go!" Paula turned around as if it wasn't her who had said that to Irene just now. She pulled Lucia along with her and got into the elevator. Irene’s face turned blue and red with anger. She stomped into the elevator, but it beeped twice, showing that it was
get yourself out!” All at once, everyone in the elevator looked toward Irene. She was indeed the last one coming in, but she just couldn't swallow it in her heart, so she stood still where she was, refusing to move.
She gritted her teeth and pushed her way inside. "I'm working for the company. Why should I go out? It's you who should leave.”
Hearing that, Paula couldn't help but roll her eyes. She turned to look at the others just now, right?" When she smiled like that, the men in the elevator were all dumbfounded at once.'®
with thorns. Next to her, Lucia was
not very talkative, but her calm demeanor also made people unable to take their eyes In addition, Irene was already wrong, so no one was willing to speak up for her.
Yes." ®
Yes. Get yourself out. You're wasting our time.
In the elevator, people were almost saying all those things in front of Irene regardless of her feelings. Her cheeks turned red. She was so angry and annoyed that she stomped angrily out of the elevator in her high heels as if trying to make a hole in the floor.
proudly at Lucia
Lucia curved her lips in a smile, feeling some indefinable pleasure in her heart. She knew Irene sometimes made things difficult for her on purpose, but she had never quarreled openly with her because they were colleagues. But when Paula made such a scene just now, she suddenly realized that sometimes nothing was as important as following her heart.
She was less unsettled and got calmer all of a sudden. Feeling the resignation letter in her pocket, she felt a lot better.
It seemed that it was time for her to finish with August. Lucia and Paula got out of close to the office. When Mary saw Lucia, her attitude was cold. "What are you doing here, Lucia? Mr. Adams is busy right now." Lucia took a deep breath and said word by word, "Something important.” "You can tell me first and I'll tell Mr. Adams.”
Lucia refused to back down. Her attitude was firm. "No, thanks. I just need to talk to Mr. Adams for five minutes."
gave in at last. "I'll ask him."
After that, she turned around and walked to the office.
Lucia smiled and kept silent. Although she looked calm outside, she was still a little panicked inside. Mary and pulled Paula into the office with her. In the office, August was sitting at his desk with Burton standing next to him. Both of them were stunned when they saw Lucia and Paula coming in aggressively. With a calm look on his face, August put down the papers in his hand, glanced lightly at Lucia’'s bandaged arm, and then said coldly, "What is it?" ®
Paula was surprised when she took a look at August. She had thought that the man who had hurt Lucia was a lecherous scumbag, but August didn't look like a scumbag at all. In fact, he was a bit eye-catching, except that he looked so cold. When she saw Burton standing next to August, she came back to her senses, cleared her throat, and said, "Get out of here. I'm here to settle scores with August today!" Burton sensed Paula's gaze at him. He froze and then raised his eyes to look at August's face. It was obvious that August squarely at Lucia as his thin lips parted. "You have something to talk to me about?" Meeting the man's deep, dark eyes, Lucia unconsciously clenched the corner of her clothes. She took a deep breath and said,
Yeah.
Paula reached out to pull at Lucia and said quietly. "Let me say it first, Lucia.”
With that, she tured around and stared at August fo a while, Suddenly, she snorted and sneered, "August, ight? You are not quite the same as I imagined, but nowt I know that just because youre good-looking, you fooled a good girl and tricked her into marrying you. I believe there will be lot of commotion if your employees hear about what you've done.” Why? You cheated on her, siept with her, and in the end, you won't let go of her after the divorce? Have you ever thought about taking responsibility for Lucia? Are you a man, August?
Lucia stood at the side, looking shocked. She had thought that Paula just wanted to
defend her and came over to help embolden her and to speak up for her, but she had
never expected that Pala would say something so shocking and scold August ike that
fight from the start. Lucia fel like the ai in the room was thinner, She bit her ip
and reached out to pull at Paula, "Paula stop.”
She was afraid August would reject her resignation if Paula went on!"®
