Chapter 254 Guarding Her All Night

August frowned, gave the girl a cold look, and stood up.

Following a glance at Joshua, he said grimly, "You guys have fun.I gotta go."

He then strode out of the box.Burton hurriedly followed him out.His harsh words saddened the girl.

The rims of her eyes went red, and she looked at Joshua pitifully.

"Sir, it was not my intention."

"It's not your fault," Joshua smiled indifferently.He had predicted this.

In fact, he hadn't been expecting August to accept any woman here.

This was just a test to see what August really cared about.His friend should have figured it out by now.

August went into the elevator in big strides.His face couldn't be sullener.

Since that woman sat down beside him, his disgust had been on the rise.

The smell of her perfume was just disturbing.

As far as he could remember, Lucia rarely wore perfume.

There was no such pungent smell but a faint aroma of milk.His brows suddenly furrowed, and his lips were pursed into a thin line.

Why did he think of Lucia? Why did he subconsciously compare that woman with her? Why? Was he enamored as Joshua said? His mood hit the bottom.

That idea lingered in his mind.

Till he got in the car, he still hadn't gotten a clue.

Burton started the engine and asked, "Mr.Adams, are we going back to the villa?"

"Yeah."

The car hit the road.

August closed his eyes, trying to empty his mind, but Lucia's face kept crossing his mind.
