Chapter 421 Word Eater

For the moment, everyone landed his or her gaze on Burton.

Paula was the most nervous one.

August calmly raised the wine glass and took a sip.He said, "What do you want to say?"

Paula clenched her hands tightly, her palms sweating profusely.She fixed her eyes on Burton's mouth, and racked her brain to think of a way to stop him.

At this moment, Burton said, "I want to ask for a leave."

Then, he turned to Paula and produced a smile.

"To spend some time with my girlfriend."

The word "girlfriend" shocked Paula with blank mind.

Seconds later, she suddenly came back to herself and denied, "Who is your girlfriend?"

Burton smiled at ease and answered with a question.

"Is not?"

When Paula met Burton's bright eyes, she felt her tongue twist.If she denied it, Burton might disclose her secret on that thing.It was a blatant threat.

He said so in front of August on purpose! Paula gritted her teeth, but she couldn't speak a word to refute Burton.She then turned to Lucia.

When she saw the innocent smile on Lucia's face, she relented.She would have to accept whatever Burton said even if it was merely for Lucia.She gulped and nodded reluctantly as consent.

Seeing this, Burton smiled.He wanted to take Paula's hand, but, after hesitating, he restrained himself.

August showed a glimmer of amusement in his eyes.He said, "Your leave is granted!"

Burton beamed at August and Lucia.

"Thanks.I'll take my leave, then, President Adams."

Then, he took Paula's hand and said excitedly, "Let me bring you to a place."

Paula was reluctant, and was somewhat dragged by Burton.

"Where?"

Burton couldn't hide his joy while Paula looked abashed.

They looked like a couple who had just reconciled with each other after a quarrel, funny and cute.

Lucia looked at their retreating figures and produced a smile.She could see that they still loved each other.
