Chapter 313 You Will Be At Your Own Risk
As expected, what she was afraid of happened.
While Lucia was still hesitating about whether to go in or not, a tall figure appeared at the door.
August stood at the door with a cold face, glanced at her, and said in a deep voice, "Come in."
Lucia gasped and plucked up her courage before she walked in.
As soon as she walked into the office, August walked towards the desk and said, "Close the door."
Lucia's heart trembled.
Even though she didn't want to, she still closed the door of the office.
After the door was closed, the originally strange atmosphere became even more oppressive.
Lucia gathered up her courage and asked, "Mr.Adams, do you have orders?"
August walked to the desk, turned to look at her, and said, "I heard you took two days off?"
Lucia paused and answered truthfully, "Yes, my father had an operation, so..."
Before she could finish her sentence, August snorted coldly.
It would be fine if she just went to accompany her father, but he had seen her with Paul, which annoyed him the most! August frowned slightly, pursed his lips, and asked, "So you have a reason to blatantly delay the task given to you by the company?"
Speaking of tasks, Lucia naturally knew in her heart that she had only one task at hand now, and that was to get Jonathan to endorse redeur.But since she was tricked by Jonathan last time, she had not
gone to see him until now.
Of course, the endorsement thing had not progressed much.
Lucia felt somewhat guilty.
She took a deep breath, bit her lips, and said, "I will complete the task given by the company as soon as possible."
August frowned, glanced at her face, hesitated for a moment, and said nothing.
Lucia waited for a long time.
Seeing that he had no response, she said, "Mr.Adams, is there anything else? If not, I'll go back to work."
August frowned tightly and couldn't help but ask, "Are you and Paul together?"
The moment August asked the question, he realized that it was inappropriate, but it was too late.
When Lucia heard this, her face changed slightly.She glanced at August, and her eyes darkened a little, and she said in a cold tone, "Mr.Adams, this is a personal question, so I'm afraid I can't answer it."
August frowned, feeling a little depressed.He just asked casually, but she said it was a personal question.
The two of them had gotten along well, but she was treating him like a stranger now, and she couldn't be colder than him.
August's competitive spirit prevailed at this moment.He raised his eyebrows slightly, walked towards Lucia, stared into her eyes, and said seriously, "I just want to know."
Lucia felt so annoyed that she forgot the disparity in their identities at the moment.She took a deep breath and gritted her teeth, "No comment."
With that, she turned around and walked out of the office.
August hadn't expected her to turn around and leave.
His face became gloomier, and he felt upset.
Looking at her back, he couldn't help clenching his fists.
Lucia walked quickly through the corridor and into the elevator.She was equally angry and gritted her teeth.
August was getting more and more extreme.He had used to control her through the agreement, and now he even asked her personal questions in the office.
How could she accept it? Moreover, he got angry inexplicably.
Could it be that he vented his anger on her because of something else? At this moment, her cell phone vibrated, and she got a new message.
She took her phone out and saw that it was sent by August, [I'll give you a week to negotiate the endorsement, or you will be at your own risk.]
The moment she saw the message, she became angrier.She clenched her phone tightly and felt a little annoyed.
But the fact was that as long as the endorsement matter was not resolved, she would not be able to explain it to August.
So it seemed the key to the problem was Jonathan.
Thinking of this, Lucia felt less angry.
She took a deep breath, picked up her phone, and sent a message to Jonathan.
After more than half an hour, no one replied.
Finally, she called him.
The phone was connected, but it rang twice and was suddenly hung up.
Lucia slightly froze, took a deep breath, and called again.
This time, he still hung up.
Soon, she received a message, "Will you stop?"
Just looking at the text message, Lucia could almost think of the impatient expression on Jonathan's face.She took a deep breath and called again.
After two beeps, someone finally answered it and Jonathan said in a somewhat impatient voice, "What?"
"Jonathan, regarding the redeur endorsement, I still think..."
Jonathan said in a sarcastic voice, "Then why didn't you come last time? Did you stand me up? Lucia, you are something!"
She felt the anger in Jonathan's tone and became nervous.She opened her mouth and wanted to explain, but he continued on the end of the phone, "If you want to see me, come and see me."
Before she could react, the phone was hung up.
Lucia looked at her phone screen and felt confused.
After a few seconds, her phone vibrated and she got another message from Jonathan.
It was an address in the southern suburbs of Austos City, some distance from Lion Group.
Lucia hesitated for a moment.
Then she immediately went back to the office to pack her things, left the company, and went to the address Jonathan sent her.
Now, she was caught between Jonathan and August.
The former was a difficult man while the latter was always cold.
She couldn't afford to offend either of them.She could only suck it up and try to solve the endorsement issue as soon as possible.
It took her nearly an hour to get to the address Jonathan sent her from the company in the city center.
Lucia got off the taxi and looked outside, only to realize that it was a racing club.
A cool logo was placed on the gray uneven cement wall, and it got the vibe.
Looking at the huge space and imposing atmosphere, Lucia could feel that this was not a place where ordinary people could come.She gathered up her courage and walked to the door, only to be stopped by the receptionist at the door, "Please show your membership card."
Lucia was surprised.
She hesitated for a moment, and then gathered up her courage and said, "Jonathan asked me to come.I'm his assistant"
As soon as Jonathan's name was mentioned, the receptionist's face changed immediately, and he quickly said, "Please wait a moment.I'll make a phone call to check."
With that, he took out his mobile phone, made a call, turned around, and asked in a low voice.
Soon, he hung up the phone and looked back at her, "Please come in."
Lucia breathed a sigh of relief, quickened her steps, and walked in with the receptionist. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
They turned left and right, and took the shuttle bus to a place that led directly to a circular mountain road.
From a distance, she could see the rest area prepared by the club on both sides, and a winding track extending forward, with a row of tracing cars parked there.
She walked over and saw handsome men and beautiful women everywhere on the way, all dressed fashionably and wearing helmets, all of whom looked like they were going to participate in the competition.
When Lucia walked among them, she only felt that she was totally out of place.
