Submit to the Boss He Rules the Boardroom and the Bedroom

Chapter 319 Side with an Outsider

August thought for a moment.

A bit agitated, he pulled at his tie.His heart was in turmoil.He didn’t know why, but anything related to Lucia could upset him easily.

Just then, his phone rang on the desk.

Furrowing his brows, he picked it up for a look.

At the sight of the caller ID, he hesitated for a moment and then pressed the Answer button.

"Hello?"

"August, don't forget our appointment.You'll come to our house for dinner tonight."

He pressed his eyebrows with his other hand and said blandly, "I know."

"I'll come to the office, and then we'll go together.How does it sound?"

Without the slightest hesitation, August rejected it tactfully, "Well, I have something to attend to.You can just wait for me at home"

Jeanne sounded dejected.

"Okay then, I'll see you at home."

He hung up the phone, but his agitation didn't abate, not even in the slightest.

Jeanne invited him to have dinner at their house tonight.It was a family feast, but they had an axe to grind.

Without a doubt, it was Martin's idea.

The dinner was just a pretext.

However, given his current relationship with Jeanne, he couldn't reject it every time.

At 6 pm, August left the office for the Kelly family's house.

Merlin was not home.He was received by Martin, Mrs.

Kelly, and Jeanne.

The atmosphere was quite harmonious.
