Chapter 419 Do You Like Her?

Five years ago, Paula had broken up with him for no reason.

Now that they met again, Paula had always tried to avoid him.

Lucia took a deep breath and asked, "Do you like her?"

Burton didn't hesitate for a moment and nodded firmly, "Yes."

If he didn't like her, he wouldn't have remained single for five years.

"On your birthday five years ago, why did a girl come out of your house?"

Hearing this, Burton was stunned, "On my birthday five years ago?"

Memories flooded back.

After a moment, Burton suddenly remembered something.He took a deep breath, looked at Lucia, and asked, "Did she see it?"

Lucia was noncommittal.

It was precise because Paula saw a girl come out of his house that she had doubts about since then.

Burton blinked, and he explained what had happened to Lucia honestly.

In the end, he looked at Lucia and said word by word, "Can you take me to see Paula? I want to explain to her personally."

Unexpectedly, a small mistake had made him and Paula separated for more than five years! Seeing his sincere eyes, Lucia softened a bit.She took a deep breath, and after hesitating, she nodded, "Okay."

Burton had helped her many times before and she remembered his kindness.

Besides, it involved the happiness of her best friend.She didn't want to see them miss each other.

Burton's eyes lit up in surprise and he said, "Well, I'll ask President Adams first."

As soon as he finished it, the car door was suddenly pushed open.

August got off the car, and said in a low voice, "I'll go with you."

Lucia was stunned and looked at him in surprise.

Did August hear what she and Burton had said just now? But wasn't he sitting in the car? When she turned her head and saw the half-opened car window at the back, she suddenly realized what was going on.

It turned out that August had lowered the car window and heard their conversation.

Lucia was a little annoyed.

But when she thought that August was Burton's boss and Burton couldn't go without his permission, she had to swallow.

August took out a large black umbrella from the car and opened it slowly.

When he turned and saw Lucia's expression, he raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Why, don't you want me to go?"

Lucia was surprised when she heard this, but she forced a smile and said, "President Adams, you should have a lot of work to do.You can go on with your work if you're busy."

Her words were euphemistic, but her meaning was clear.She didn't want him to follow.She and Paula had agreed to meet.

It was understandable that Burton followed her.

But if August also followed her, wouldn't it be embarrassing? Although August knew exactly what she meant, he didn't care, and said lightly, "It's okay.I can just put the work on hold."

With that, he held the umbrella and walked forward.

Lucia instantly felt speechless.

Looking at his resolute back, she had to take back her refusal.

She had no choice but to let him tag along.

When she arrived at the door of the restaurant where she and Paula had agreed to meet, she turned to look at the two men on the left and the right and somehow felt a little guilty.She was almost an hour late.

Now she even brought these two men to meet Paula without saying telling her in advance.

Paula would be pissed off.

Forget it.

She was doomed anyway.She thought she'd better go in! Lucia gritted her teeth, pushed open the door, and went in.She gave the waiter Paula's name and was led to the second floor.

Compared with the lobby on the first floor, the second floor was much quieter, and there was a certain distance between the booths.

The lighting was dim, and the decoration was elegant.It was very suitable for couples to date or girlfriends to chat.She glanced around and saw Paula at a glance.

It happened that Paula also looked up.

As soon as Paula saw Lucia, her eyes lit up, and she immediately waved to Lucia.

But when she saw the two men beside Lucia, the smile on her face froze.

Feeling Paula's gaze, Lucia took a deep breath and stepped forward.Paula asked with widened eyes, "Lucia, what's going on?!"

Lucia bit her lips and said, "Well...something happened on the way, and I happened to run into them.To thank them, I'm taking them to have a meal together."

Paula's face turned pale.She looked at August and Burton.She couldn't say anything, so she acquiesced.

The atmosphere at the dining table was a bit subtle.

After ordering, Lucia cleared her throat to break the silence and said softly, "Paula, I've prepared a present for you."

She handed over the box next to her.

Paula took it, opened the box, and looked at it. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

Her eyes lit up, and , her expression softened a lot, "A dress?"

Lucia smiled and nodded, "I went to Jennifer's to pick it up for you.It's unique, the only one."

Paula was in a good mood immediately.She picked up the dress and said, "It’s my aesthetic!"

Slowly, the atmosphere eased a lot.

Soon, the dishes were served.

Burton handed them tissues from time to time, moved the plates, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

Halfway through the dinner, Paula brought the menu and ordered a few more dishes.

She glanced at the wine menu, looked up, and said, "Would you like a drink? Just take it as a celebration."

Lucia was about to agree when Burton, who was sitting across from them, suddenly asked, "What to celebrate?"

Paula glanced at him, and her face darkened a bit.

She said coldly, "It has nothing to do with you."

The atmosphere instantly became awkward because of her words.Paula didn't care.She directly waved to the waiter, pointed to the top two on the wine menu, and said, "One glass of these two each."

With that, she turned to look at Lucia next to her and said, "If we won't drink this time, I don't know when we will meet again next time!"

As soon as she finished it, Burton's face suddenly darkened a little.

He stretched out his hand, directly pressed the menu, and looked at Paula with a serious expression, "What do you mean?"

He was sharp enough to ask Paula before she could answer, "Where are you going?"

Paula looked at him coldly and said, "My business has nothing to do with you."

Her firm tone made Burton frown.

He stood up, looked at her firmly, and took a deep breath, "Paula, let's talk alone."

Paula didn't think about it, and refused directly, "I have nothing to talk to you about."

With that, she pushed the menu forward, but the menu happened to hit the juice cup on the side.

When the cup fell, the orange juice suddenly splashed on her.

Lucia was startled.

Seeing that the atmosphere became tenser and tenser, she quickly picked up a tissue and wiped it for Paula, and said softly, "Go to the bathroom and clean it.I'll accompany you."

Paula frowned, rolled her eyes at Burton, and immediately got up and said, "Okay."

Lucia was about to follow her.

But just as she stood up, a large hand reached out from the opposite side and directly grabbed her hand.

She looked up at August in surprise and saw that he turned his head slightly and raised his chin at Burton.

Burton immediately took the hint.

He got up and followed Paula.

Watching them leave, Lucia understood August's intention.

Unexpectedly, he was quite attentive to the affairs of his subordinate.

Noticing Lucia’s gaze, August asked with a faint smile, "Why are you looking at me like this? Are you attracted?"
