Submit to the Boss He Rules the Boardroom and the Bedroom

Chapter 73

She didn't want August to go out with half of his face swollen.

People in the neighborhood who didn't know what had happened would probably think she had beaten him up.

She took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "I'll do it for you before you go."

His eyes lit up inconspicuously.

August looked up at her and he seemed to be a little puzzled by her reaction.

Lucia gritted her teeth and pretended to be calm as she explained, 'It's a bad idea for you to go out like this."

Hearing that, August realized it too.

He paused, stepped over, and sat down in the chair without refusing.

Lucia unscrewed the cap, squeezed some ointment onto her slender finger, and walked over to August.

She hesitated and then slowly applied it to his face where it was red and swollen.

With her fingertip, she gently rubbed the ointment into the swollen place in slow circles, but he still inevitably felt some pain.

Grandma had given him a good slap.

With his brows knitted, August felt the slight stinging pain in his cheek.

And the refreshing smell of the ointment lingered around his nose, mixed with the sweet scent from the woman.

Lucia tried to apply the ointment as evenly as possible.

After all that, she gently leaned over and blew on the injured area.

Every time Lucia was injured when she was a child, Mrs.Mitchell would blow on it like this after applying the ointment to her, and then the pain would be gone.

Lucia had gotten into the same habit.

It seemed that August hadn't expected her to suddenly come closer.

He only felt cooler in his cheek as she blew and the pain was immediately relieved a lot, but the next second, his heart fluttered and even his back involuntarily tensed.

With her sweet smell around his nose, August found himself burning inside, with an indescribable dry and hot sensation.

This woman had no idea how risky it was to do so! Before he reacted, Lucia had already straightened up.

She screwed the cap back on and said indifferently, "It's done."

August regained his composure and frowned involuntarily before he stood up.
