Chapter303 She was Only a Substitute? Standing beside the flower beds in the nigh breeze, August was in front of his car.

Being a bit tipsy, he tried to steady himself by leaning against the car languorously while squinting at the direction of the stairs.

He actually couldn't account for his behavior now.

He had been drinking with Joshua in Perfect Fortune just now to dissipate the gloominess in his heart.

Yet Lucia's face kept floating into his mind, making him even more upset.

He thus kept on drinking, and was a bit drunken when he eventually left Perfect Fortune.

Burton was to send him home, yet he just gave him the address of Lucia without much thinking, probably because he was already unable to think.

The sound activated lights on the ground floor was lit before long, and Lucia appeared some seconds later.

Wearing a long ivory overcoat which got her white and spidery legs exposed outside, she ran towards him like a butterfly, her hair floating in the air.

Feeling a crush in his heart, August just couldn't take his eyes off her.

Lucia went up to the car, and passed him the bottle of icy water after taking a gasp.

"Now you can let me know the matter"

Looking down at the bottle, August got his eyes fixed on her thin wrist.

"I'm sorry I wasn't helping today."

he muttered after a moment's silence.

He'd promised her in his office that he would keep her safe, yet in the end he wasn't the one who managed to help her out.

Lucia paused for some seconds before she finally grasped what he meant.

"It's OK.

It's gone now."
