Chapter 146

Seeing Lucia’s expression, August realized what was going on.She thought that he and Adeline had some kind of shameful relationship, didn’t she? August actually felt a little amused when he understood what she was saying.

He had never expected that she would speak up for Jeanne.

After some surprise, August slightly curled his lips.

The expression on his face did not change much, but he was entertained by her reaction, thinking she was quite funny like that.

A moment later, he asked lightly, "Tell me, what are you doing here?"

Usually, Lucia would try to run away when she met him in the company, but now she came to see him in his office, so there must be something.

However, Lucia felt so angry that she obviously didn’t want to say anything more to him, so she coldly uttered a word, "Nothing."

After that, she decided to leave.

When she turned around, she moved her lips and murmured in an unclear way, "Scumbag..."

Although her voice was low and muffled, August still heard what she said.

With a glint in his eyes, he moved his lips coldly.

"Stop."

She actually called him a scumbag? How dare she! August was angry and laughing.

Without saying another word, he walked toward her on his long legs.

Lucia was startled and secretly gasped in disbelief.

She hadn't expected that he would hear her curse him behind his back! In addition, she had deliberately said it in such a low voice that normally no one could hear her.

So, he wasn’t a normal man, was he? Of course, Lucia didn't know that August's five senses were more sensitive than those of ordinary people.

He could detect even the slightest movement, not to mention a word.

Lucia paused and her body stiffened.

If she was caught by August like this, there would be no good consequences! It was best for her to leave now! She gritted her teeth and pretended she didn’t hear anything as she went on stepping out.

But no sooner had she grabbed the handle and pulled the door open a little than a fair-and-clear-skinned hand with distinct knuckles and long fingers came over to slam the door shut and pushed her against it.

Lucia was so shocked that she almost screamed.

When she looked up, she saw the man’s handsome face right in front of her.
