Submit to the Boss He Rules the Boardroom and the Bedroom

Chapter 169

After a moment of silence, Lucia calmed down and asked rhetorically, "Why do you ask that?"

August casually closed the file on his lap and said, "Why do you work late if you don't lack money?"

He thought the Lion Group was a very humanistic company and had never forced anyone to work overtime, except when there was some urgent project, but this time Lucia applied for fifteen days once she applied probably because of lacking money.

In fact, he knew her well that she was not the kind of workaholic who is keen to work.

Unaware of having been seen through by August, Lucia smoothed her hair back in embarrassment and denied, "No, I just want to work hard and focus on my career"

August watched her movement through the window and didn't remind her that she had a bad habit of touching her hair or noise when she was lying.

There was a long silence before August spoke, "If you need help, you can find me."

He didn't strip away her lies but hinted that he could lend her money.

However, Lucia had misinterpreted him and felt so humiliated because she thought he was treating her as a woman who was carrying on affairs with him, and he would pay her money as she asked.

Thinking of this, she looked away and looked out the window with sadness, watching the rain hit the windows and slowly slide down.

She clenched her fists slightly and was silent not to say another word.

Not until Lucia arrived at her apartment did Burton relax, he could not almost stand the dead silence just now.
