Chapter 326

Chapter 326 Resignation At this moment, there was a loud noise outside the door, and then, the door of the ward was pushed open, and Lucia and Jeanne looked at the direction from which the sound came.

August was standing at the door, face dark.

When he caught sight of Lucia, his face got colder.

He strode over and looked down at Lucia.

He asked in a cold voice, "What are you doing here?"

Lucia took a deep breath and wanted to explain when Jeanne said, "Lucia came to visit me, August.

Why did you come all of a sudden?"

"lL come to visit you."

Saying, August walked to the head of the bed and adjusted the position of the pillow leaned against by Jeanne to make her more comfortable.

His movement seemed so natural and fluent.

"Are you feeling better today?"

When talking to Jeanne, he sounded apparently gentler.

Sitting beside them, Lucia felt awkward and uncomfortable.

She felt that she should leave them alone now.

August's behaviors showed that he really loved Jeanne.

She produced a mocking smile and stood up.

She looked at Jeanne and said, "Jean, if there is nothing that needs me, I'll leave you two alone."

Hearing this, Jeanne smiled.

"Okay.

Pay me another visit someday."

Lucia forced a smile at Jeanne and then walked towards the door.

After getting out of the elevator, she took the elevator to the ground floor of the hospital.

She walked forward at a loss and with great bitterness.

She should have been prepared for that and be aware of her position.

For August, she was nothing compared with Jeanne.

She walked through the small garden of tha inpatient department.

Just as she was to walk towards the hospital gate, unexpectedly, her phone rang.

She took a deep breath and had a look at her phone.

"August"

was shown on her screen.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she hesitated over whether she should answer the call.

Three seconds later, she bit her lips and rejected the call.

However, her phone vibrated again soon.

It was August again.

Lucia felt annoyed.

Teeth gritted, she answered the call and said in displease.

"Hey, what tie hell do you want?"

After a short silence, the manis cold voice came through the receiver.

"What do I want? I want to know what happened between you ard Jonathan."

Jonathan? Lucia was stunned and she calmed down.

‘What happened between me and Jonathan?"

The man's voice showed anger.

"You don't knew yourself? The paparazzi are trying to blackmail me with some photos.

And you're asking?"

Lucia sensed that something severe had happened.

She was so confused.

Before she could speak, August continued, "Where are you? I'll come to you.

We talk face-in-face""

After hesitating for a while, Lucia looked around and said, "I'm at the little garden behind the inpatient buildiag.

There's a statue here."

After she told him her whereabouts, he immediately hurg up.

Within five minutes, August had walked into the garden.

When he saw Lucia sitting on a bench beside the statue, he strode over He would feel somehow agitated at the thougt of those photos.

Lucia looked up and found August walking towards her.

Before she could stand up or ask anything, August had already handed over an envelope.

She hesitated and then took it.

Inside the envelope was a thick stack of photos.

All were snaps of her and Jonathan.

Jonathan took her hand and brought her into his car at the entrance of Iszoom Movie Studio; she got on Jonathan's car at the racing club; he drove her home after the crew finished shooting in the middle of the night...

If she weren't directly involved, she would also have misunderstood if she only looked at these photos.

Lucia held the photos tighter.

Face pale, she looked up at August and asked, "Where did these come from?"

Seeing her expression, August showed sneer in his eyes.

He said coldly, "Bought from those paparazzi."

Lucia gritted her teeth.

It suddenly occurred to her that she did catch sight of some paparazzi when she was at the gate of the cinema city with Jonathan.

It seemed that they would go to several selected spots, and their target was Jonathan.

They had intended to take some photos as proofs of Jonathan's box news.

However, she and Jonathan were innocent.

They never had an affair with each other.

Lucia took a deep breath and looked up at August.

She explained, "There's nothing between him and me.

In the first place, I had to persuade him into accepting endorsement for redeur.

That's why I would accept his invitations."

August wrinkled his brows and asked, "So, Jonathan was the wooer? Lucia shook her heard.

"No! There's nothing between him and me!"

As the woman refused to admit, August felt angrier.

He approached her.

Lucia subconsciously wanted to step back.

However, she soon found herself against the statue.

She had nowhere to go.

August again showed sneer in his dark eyes.

He taunted, "Lucia Mitchell, I didn’t know you are so charming, huh? Jamie Nordhaus helped you prove your innocence.

Paul Thomas centers around you.

Even the popular toy boy is interested in you..."

He paused and then snorted.

"Lucia Mitchell, you're fucking amazing!"

August felt upset at the thought of those men beside her.

How he wanted to hide this petite woman completely away from men of the outside world! Hearing the man's words, Lucia took a deep breath and somehow felt humiliated.

She remained a short silence, and then, after gritting her teeth and bracing herself up, she looked the man in his eyes.

"August, you asked me to find endorsement for redeur.

Oh, you are regretting now?"

"Regret?"

August was surprised by her gut to confront him.

"I never know the feeling of regret."

Lucia gathered up her courage and pushed the man away.

She then took a step back to keep a distance between them.

She looked at him and said, "No matter what method I used, I did succeed in finding reduer a brand spokesman, didn't I?"

August frowned.

Simmering with anger, he pressed his lips.

He didn't know how to retort her.

After all, he didn't have the right to judge and restrain her private life now.

Lucia took a deep breath and plucked herself up.

"I will reach an agreement with the spokesmen as soon as possible.

But you have to promise me one thing."

August asked, "What?"

Lucia unwittingly pulled her hem, which indicated her nervousness, and said word by word, "I Want to Resign!"

Her words made the atmosphere even more depressed.

After seconds, August said in a deep voice, "You're being serious?"Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

Lucia didn't hesitate to nod and say, "Yes, I am serious."

"Fine."

August showed a transient upset in his eyes.

"I will only give you three days."

Then, he cast her a meaningful glance and walked away.

Since she didn't want to work in Lion group, he would give her a chance to resign.

After three days, he wanted all gossips about her and Jonathan disappear.

Lucia stood still, eyeing the man's back going farther away, and produced a bitter smile.

She felt a frightening chill.

She had thought that August would at least ask her for a reason.

However, out of her expectation, he should accept the promise so crisply.

It seems that I really mean nothing to him in his heart.

She thought.

Fine.

As long as I can get Jonathan as the brand spokesman, I think I can leave the Lion without scruples.
