Chapter 340 Where Did You Hide Her?
Something dim moved in Burton's eyes.
Half a second later, he looked up at August and said seriously, "Nothing.There's just one thing I didn't tell you."
August frowned slightly.
"What is it?"
"Lucia approached me once privately and asked for the pictures I bought from the paparazzi of her and Jonathan.She only said she would get Jonathan to sign the contract, so I gave them to her without telling you."
August looked down at the contract on the desk with mixed emotions.It seemed that Lucia had tricked Jonathan into signing the contract.
August had given her only three days.
According to the date on the contract, she had gotten Jonathan to sign the contract on the last day.
August had promised Lucia that he would let her leave Lion Group if she could get Jonathan to sign the contract within three days.He hadn't expected her to succeed.
She had even sent him the contract and her resignation letter and disappeared without a trace.
‘Turns out she's been planning to leave me since then!’
August's heart throbbed for a moment.He took a deep breath and looked up at Burton.
"Did you find anything?"
Burton shook his head and answered, "No."
August's face darkened.
Lucia must have left traces if she hid without help, but everything about her had been erased.
Someone must be helping her! Suddenly, August blinked and thought of Paul, who was the only one capable of fighting against him.
The next second, he picked up the suit jacket on the back of the chair and ordered Burton in a cold voice, "Get the car and go with me to Cloud Technology."
Burton hesitated for a moment, but he didn't dare to ask and followed August out of the office.
Along the way, August's face remained gloomy as if he would lose her temper at any moment. This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
The car stopped in front of Cloud Technology.
The door opened and August walked into the company directly.
Burton caught up with him and asked tentatively, "Sir, we don't have an appointment.Should we call Mr.Thomas’ assistant?"
"No need."
August didn't think he needed to ask Paul nicely.
They took the elevator upstairs but were stopped by Paul's assistant before they could get to the general manager's office.
"Sorry, Mr.Adams.Mr.Thomas is talking to a partner.Please wait a moment"
August turned his head coldly and narrowed his eyes.
"Since Mr.Thomas knows I'm here, why is he avoiding me?"
August hadn't made an appointment or told the receptionist, but Paul's assistant had recognized him exactly.It seemed that Paul had known he was coming.
Paul's assistant gasped and didn't know how to answer, but he didn't dare to disobey Paul.
He could only stand in front of them and said awkwardly, "Sorry, please wait a moment."
August was losing patience.He glanced at the office and was about to say something when the door was pushed open.
Paul looked over at them and said with a faint smile, "Sorry to keep you waiting, Mr.Adams."
August glanced at him and said directly, "I need to talk to you."
Then he turned and walked quickly away.
Paul hesitated for a moment and followed him.
They came to the small balcony next to the office.
Paul was about to say something when August turned around and grabbed him by the collar.
"Where did you hide Lucia?"
August stared into Paul's face with sharp eyes.
He clenched his other hand slowly as if he would punch Paul's face at any moment.
Paul froze for a moment before saying casually, "l don't know what you're talking about."
August tightened his grip and looked down at him.
"Where the hell did you hide her?"
Lucia couldn't have vanished into thin air, but August had learned that everything about her had disappeared.
Someone had deliberately erased her traces.
Paul had that ability in Austos City.
"Lucia is missing? What did you do to her?"
Paul frowned and asked with a straight face.
August could hardly restrain his anger.He lowered his voice.
"Paul, stop pretending!"
Paul also lost his patience, grabbed August's wrist directly, and said coldly, "Why should I pretend? Just come at me if you don't like me!"
Neither of them would back down.
Paul's assistant who was watching them came up to them quickly and stopped them.
"Mr.Adams, please relax."
Burton also walked quickly up to August and whispered, "Sir, don't be impulsive."
If the two of them really fought here today, it would definitely make the headlines in Austos City tomorrow morning, which would be a bad influence on both of their companies.
August blinked for a moment.
Finally, he let go of Paul's collar and took a step back.
Paul also let go with a cold face.
August threatened Paul, "You're so sly, but so am I.I won't let you off the hook if I find out you're involved."
Paul retorted, "I don't know why you suddenly came to my company to make a scene, but if you want to continue, I'm right here."
They stared into each other's eyes and neither of them would back down.
Paul's assistant said something again.
August glanced at them coldly and turned to leave.
It wasn't until he got into the elevator that he relaxed, turned to look at Burton, and ordered, "Find out Paul's recent whereabouts."
Burton nodded and called his men.
When they arrived at the Lion Group, Burton got a call and reported to August, "Sir, Paul hasn't done anything suspicious lately.He's been in Austos City, but he went to see his sister in Figo City this afternoon and came back soon."
August tensed up at once.
After a moment of hesitation, he frowned slightly.
"Figo City?"
Had Paul sent Lucia to Figo City?
