Submit to the Boss He Rules the Boardroom and the Bedroom

Chapter 157

Leroy was confused for a moment, and after half a second, he immediately looked away and replied seriously, "Nothing."

August frowned and ordered with a cold face, "Go to the nearby supermarket and buy some sanitary pads!" Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Saying that, he picked up the jacket next to him and wrapped it directly around Lucia’s body.

Leroy looked at him in shock, "Boss..."

He could only study the computer and never even had a girlfriend.

Except for the occasional advertisement he had seen, he knew nothing about these feminine products.

August raised an eyebrow and a look of displeasure appeared on his face, "Is it difficult?"

Leroy swallowed and said, "No...no problem.Which one should I buy?"

August's face darkened more and he also didn’t know about these.

"Buy one pack of each."

He said this in a cold voice and was about to push the door to get out of the car.

As if he thought Leroy could not do it alone, he looked at Burton sitting in the passenger seat and ordered, "You follow him and quickly buy sanitary pads back."

After saying that, he carried Lucia out of the car, striding towards the hotel.

Burton and Leroy looked at each other and turned pale, but they could not disobey the order, so they had to go buy them immediately.

Back in the hotel room, August laid Lucia on the bed.

As he looked at the woman's furrowed brow and pale lips, a strange emotion came over him.

This time, she did suffer because of him.

When he looked at the woman's already tattered clothes, August's eyes darkened.

He reached out to change her clothes, but just as he touched Lucia’s body, she struggled as if she had been electrocuted.

"Don't! Don't hit me! I..."

She seemed to dream of something horrific and curled up in resistance, something like pleading wails humming out from her mouth.

August's heart contracted violently for a moment, and he reached out to hold both of her hands that were flailing about, softening his voice to comfort, "Don't be afraid and I’m..."

His voice seemed to carry the magic of comfort.

After he said it several times continuously, Lucia slowly calmed down a lot and stopped moving around.

Watching her quiet down, August breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed that this incident had left a shadow in her life.

He could not help but reach out his hand to stroke the wet bangs on her forehead.

There was a knock at the door of the room.

At the sound, August instantly regained his usual coolness on his face.

Then, he stepped to the door and opened it.

Burton and Leroy stood at the door, carrying a large bag of feminine products out of breath as if they had run all the way here.

August took the bag.

Without saying a word, he closed the door behind him.

Standing outside the door, Burton and Leroy froze and glanced at each other before walking away.

Leroy raised his hand upward to hold the glasses that had slipped onto the bridge of his nose, and said leisurely, "Do you feel that Boss is different from before?"

Burton curled his lips, smiled, and shook his head, saying nothing and walking quickly towards the front.

After a long time, Lucia opened her eyes in a daze and was greeted by a somewhat familiar ceiling.

She moved her body, feeling her head heavy and painful.

Just then, she heard a voice from next to her.

"Awake?"

Hearing that magnetic and familiar voice, Lucia inexplicably settled down a bit.

She turned her head and saw August just sitting to the side, staring right at her with his unreadable eyes.She realized that she was in the hotel.

With her throat dry and sore, she frowned slightly and asked with some surprise, "We're...out?"

What happened after she was kidnapped was like a dream.

It was as if as soon as she woke up, everything went back to normal.

Giving her a faint hmm, August casually picked up the glass of water next to her and handed it over.

Lucia sat up straight and slowly reached out to take it.

After taking two sips, she slowly came back to her senses.

After putting down the glass of water, she looked down at the clothes on her body and was a little surprised.

The clothing was not hers, wide and soft, but rather like a man’s shirt.

Lucia froze for a moment.

Two seconds later, like a frightened bird, she looked at August who was on the side in shock, "Did...did you change the clothes for me?"

At this moment, she was in August's room, lying on his bed, and undoubtedly, the clothes she was wearing were also his...

August looked up at her, with a slight wavering from his unreadable eyes.

He raised an eyebrow and asked casually and softly in return, "Or what?"

At that, Lucia’s eyes widened in shock.

She couldn't help but gently move one of her hands under the quilt, feeling the fabric under the loose shirt and even the feminine product padded inside! He couldn't have done all this? He changed the torn clothes on her body, and helped her pad the sanitary pad she needed during her physiological period! Seeing the woman's stunned expression, August had obviously guessed what she was thinking.

He frowned, pursed his thin lips, unnaturally averted his eyes, and looked to the side.

If he didn’t do this kind of thing, did he ask Burton or the others to do it? Lucia couldn't resist asking him.

But when the words came to her lips, she blushed again and finally did not ask.

She took a deep breath, gritted her teeth, and stopped thinking about the mess things.

Remembering what she experienced after being kidnapped today, she couldn't help but shiver.

When she looked up at August again, Lucia felt a little warmer in her heart.

She took a deep breath and said softly, "August, thank you for what happened today."

Thank him for coming to her rescue in that situation and thank him for not even thinking of giving up on her even though he was alone.

In the face of the sudden thanks, August unnaturally moved his eyebrows.

He turned his head to Lucia, with his tone as cold and detached as ever, "Don't thank me.You were kidnapped because of me, so this is what I should do."

Lucia was speechless at once.It's true.

She had no grudge against those thugs and they did kidnap her because of August.

When she was lost in thought, August suddenly spoke up, his tone serious, "I have asked Burton to book a flight for you tomorrow morning and he will escort you back to Cannada.After you go back, you should rest for a few days, and no need to rush to work."

At that, Lucia suddenly became a bit anxious, "What about my work here?"

She came to Franksfurt this time because she was assigned by Carter to represent the Administration Department to learn the management mode of Teda Corporation.

Now she had only been here for a day.

If she went back like this, how should she explain it to her colleagues in the department? August turned his head.

When he saw the woman's tightly knitted brow and anxious look, his eyes darkened.

A few seconds later, he said in a cold voice, "This time, sending a team out to study is to cover for my operation.Do you understand?"

His quick answer left Lucia a little confused.

She hesitated for some time and rethought what he had just said twice before she fully understood.

It turned out that this time it was not a serious study trip at all but to give him cover.

She couldn't help but shiver when she thought of the fierce faces she met there today when she was tied up.

She had never contacted people like that, covered in tattoos, gambling, armed with guns, all outlaws who had no regard for the law or moral code.

How did August get involved with these people? Numerous questions came to her mind.

Lucia wanted to ask, but when she saw the man's cold, serious face, she swallowed all the words that came to her lips.

Even if she asked him, August would not tell her.
