Submit to the Boss He Rules the Boardroom and the Bedroom

Chapter 172

Just as she was lost in thought, the sound of footsteps outside got closer and closer, and suddenly, the door of the room was pushed open and a tall figure appeared in the doorway.

Lucia froze, her back stiffened, and when she raised her head, she saw August standing there with a serious face, looking at her in a stern way.

Stunned, Lucia asked, "What are you doing here?"

Seeing the woman's eyes flash with panic, August sulkily pursed his lips and said in a deep voice, "To inspect my employee's work."

Then, he paid no attention to her expression, striding to her desk.

The pair of deep eyes sharply swept across her desk, and his gaze finally rested on a folder on the right corner of the table.

Lucia followed his gaze.

She panicked.

Before she could react, August had already stretched out his long hand and picked up the folder and flipped it.

Lucia's heart tightened.

That was a contract Paul Thomas had given her, which needed to be translated.

If August found out that she was secretly taking an outside job, the consequence could be severe.

After all, there was an explicit rule that employees were not allowed to take other jobs outside of the company.

Now she put the document in broad daylight, she was afraid...

Before Lucia had time to imagine the consequence, the boss had already raised his head, his thin lips pressed tightly together, and a thin layer of anger appeared in his eyes.

The man raised his hand, holding the document, stared into her eyes and asked, "What is this?"

Lucia's hands that were holding together couldn't help but tighten.

Her gaze began to drift.

What should she say? Admit directly that it was another job she had secretly taken? Yet, something didn't seem right.

She had been working overtime for several days, but he picked the day when she just got the folder to inspect.

More coincidentally, he made a beeline to this folder, as if he had already known it.

With a sharp breath, she came to her senses.
