Chapter 41

She had always been the first to send a message between them and it was the first time that he had done so.

"I’ll meet you at the underground garage after work tonight."

Lucia was instantly overjoyed to see those words and a smile appeared on her face.

So, August was waiting for her to go home together! She couldn’t hide her joy and held her phone happily for quite a while.

Suddenly, the door of her office was pushed open and Emma walked in quickly.

"Lucia, Carter wants to see you in her office now!"

Seeing how nervous Emma looked, Lucia was stunned and asked, "Why? What’s wrong?"

Emma shook her head, "I’m not sure, but Carter looks unhappy. You'd better hurry up and go over."

Lucia turned serious when she heard that She immediately got up and walked out of the office, going directly to the supervisor’s office When she pushed open the door of the supervisor’s office and walked lit, Lucia saw three or four colleagues standing in a row, all with their heads down.

Carter was sitting in her office chair.

She glanced at Lucia with a sullen face and asked in a cold voice, "Are you working on the quarterly report?"

Lucia hesitated for a moment and nodded.

"Yes."

Last night.

Lisa stopped her after work and asked her to do overtime for the report, but she left directly and did not start doing it until she arrived at the office this morning.

Carter forced back her anger, but her eyes were sharply fixed on Lucia.

"I heard that the documents were handed over to you yesterday, yet you haven’t turned the report in today."

Lucia was instantly stressed out and said, "Yes, but I…"

“No buts!"

Carter slapped her desk and interrupted Lucia unceremoniously.

"Where did you get so many excuses? Do you know how many people are waiting to use the report? Just because you didn’t do it, the schedule of the whole team has been delayed!"

Carter was usually quite forgiving about almost everything, but she was absolutely strict and meticulous about work Lucia lowered her head and couldn’t say a word.

It was true that she had been given the task yesterday, but it was already the end of the day when Lisa told her.

Even if she had started to do it then, it would have been too late to organize and file some of the documents and then do the report.
