Submit to the Boss He Rules the Boardroom and the Bedroom

Chapter 3

money-grubber look Lucia accidentally showed was caught by August. At this moment, Burton arrived to pick up August. August glanced at Lucia, who was still immersed in her own little world, the corners of his thin lips rising involuntarily. However, the smile fled in seconds, and he returned to his usual indifferent facade. August got into the car, lowered the window, and said to Lucia in an even voice, “Tomorrow I’ll come pick you up and go to our new home.” “Huh?” Lucia came to her senses when she heard August’s voice. But as soon as she looked up, August raised the window, and the car drove away, not giving Lucia any time to think. After a few seconds, Lucia caught the important information from the words just now. “Our new home.” Lucia repeated what August had said, holding the card in her hands. Her face turned red again. August was a man of his word. Early the next morning, he was waiting in the community. Urged by Elisa, Lucia hurried downstairs in a white T-shirt. The car was still that luxurious Maybach. Under people’s gaze, Lucia walked over, and Burton opened the door of the car for her, greeting her, “Madam, good morning.” Still not used to this title, Lucia cast an embarrassed smile at Burton, and entered the car. Once she got in, she was drawn to August. Today August wore an all-black suit, which made him look very abstinent. With the two buttons at the top left unbuttoned, she could see his Adam’s apple and could not help but hold her breath. She always knew that August was good-looking, but she hadn’t expected him to be so attractive. August’s eyes had originally fallen on the document in front of him, but Lucia’s eyes were too hot that he suddenly looked over. As their eyes met, Lucia snapped back to her senses when she felt the coldness under August’s eyes, and then lowered her head quickly, blushed and ashamed. As if nothing had happened, August returned his gaze to the document. Along the way, the inside of the car was extremely quiet. Although Lucia kept looking out of the window, her mind was full of what had happened just now and August’s gaze. She didn’t even notice when the car stopped. Burton reminded Lucia, opening the door for her, “Madam, we’re here.” Lucia got out of the car. She thought that August would follow, but the car sped away in front of her again, leaving her and Burton behind. Lucia was confused. ‘Didn’t he say we would go to our new home together?’ Burton sensed Lucia’s thoughts and explained, “Madam, Mr. Adams has an emergency meeting this morning. He will have lunch with you.” Lucia’s expression suddenly brightened, and then as if thinking of something, she turned to Burton and said, “Mr. Harris, can you please stop calling me ‘Madam’?” It sounded awkward for her. After all, today was only the second day after she got married, so it was normal for her to feel uncomfortable by being called in such a way. “Just call me by my name, Lucia.” “Madam, Mr. Adams usually lives here, and it is where you will live in the future.” Burton ignored Lucia’s words and pointed to a villa. Lucia followed Burton’s hand, and the mansion entered her sight. Once inside, Lucia’s eyes kept looking around. The interior of the house was mostly high-grade gray, which fits August’s cold exterior. Burton took Lucia up to the second floor, pushed open a room next to the master bedroom and said to Lucia. “Madam, this is your room.” The layout of this room was very simple, and it was still the color that the owner preferred. Looking at the big bed, Lucia felt a little nervous. She was going to be in the same bed with August from now on. Thinking of that scene, Lucia felt her throat tighten, and her breathing became a little nervous. Burton saw Lucia’s blushing, and immediately asked her nervously, “Madam, what’s the matter with you?” “No, no.” Lucia was even more embarrassed. How could Burton know about Lucia’s thoughts? He continued, “This room has not yet been furnished. Boss said that it will be decorated according to your preference. Madam, I will take you to the shopping hall later.” “Okay.” Lucia nodded. After leaving the room, Burton pointed to the next room and said, “Madam, the boss lives next door.” Hearing this, Lucia was slightly taken aback. It turned out that we slept separately. Lucia relieved a heave of sigh inwardly, knowing that she didn’t have to be nervous. She had been thinking about what to do when she saw August at night. Seeing Lucia’s face change slightly, Burton thought Lucia was unhappy. After all, no newlyweds slept in separate rooms. He quickly changed the subject. “Madam, Mr. Adams likes to be quiet, so there is no babysitter at home. But part-time cleaners will come from time to time. If you have a need…” “No, no, don’t bother.” Lucia waved her hands quickly. On the way to the shopping hall, Lucia also learned about the nearby facilities. This was indeed a wealthy area. If she wanted to take the subway or bus, she needed to walk for half an hour. It seemed
