Chapter 40 Right at the end of the day, Lucla packed up her things and was ready to go home, However, just as she was about to leave, she was stopped by Lisa at the door of her office, Lisa glanced at the bag in her hand and raised an eyebrow "Ready to go now?"

Lucia looked at the clock on the wall.

"It’s the end of the day"

The Lion Group was a very humane company and they didn’t do much over time on weekdays, except sometimes when it was busy and they would stay overtime to catch up on work, "Finish these documents before you leave."

Lisa rolled her eyes and shoved a dozen documents directly into Lucia’s hand, Lucia took a look.

There were so many documents that it might take two hours to file them all, but she had agreed with August to go home for dinner… Seeing that Lisa was about to leave, Lucia stopped her straight away.

"Wait a minute!"

Lisa turned around.

"What’s up?"

Lucia said word by word, "I’ve finished my work for today.

How can you give me a new task at the end of the day?"

It seemed that Lisa hadn’t expected Lucia to be so tough.

She frowned.

"What? You’re not going to do the task you’re given?"

Lucia refused to give in and said word by word, "I have plans today, so I really can’t do it.

If you have a problem with me, let’s go and talk with Carter together tomorrow."

Lucia was on equal footing with Lisa.

She wouldn’t say anything if Lisa assigned her tasks during work hours, but now it was after hours, so she didn’t have to go along with her on everything.

With those words, Lucia walked out of the office and left Lisa alone, who stood there rolling her eyes.

She left the company in a hurry, only to get caught up in the rush hour.

By the time she got home, August had already come back from his busy day outside.

As soon as she entered the door, she saw Turner placing the tableware.

"Dinner will be ready soon, Madam.

Please wash your hands and tell Mr.Adams to come down for dinner."

"Okay."

Lucia put down her bag and skipping with a little excitement, she went to the second floor.

She walked to the bedroom, pushed open the door and walked in.

Hearing movements in the bathroom, she went over to it and raised her hand, I trying to knock on the glass door.
