In the br “Susan, Vice President's Secretary Susan raised her eyebrows and said with a hour to clean

up the place. Come on!" Lucia withdrew her gaze and took a deep breath. Seeing the tool room

nearby, she walked straight over

and took out a broom and mop from it. After sweeping all the garbage together and putting it into

the garbage bag. Lucia was already sweating She was about to go to the her hand and said with a

frown, Wait a minute! You can't do it with a mop!" Lucia took a mop?"

Susan folded her arms across her chest and lifted her chin. "Mr. Stebbing has just instructed that the

floor in front of his office and in the break area must not be mopped, because there will be an odor

You'll can take a rag and wipe it by hand.” Lucia frowned Wipe it by hand? Even the cleaners in the

company would mop the floor with a mop when they did the cleaning. Why did Ted wasnt he?

Susan looked indifferent Do you have any problem with it? Mr. Stebbing said that if you dont want

to'®

do it, then go and talk to him!"'®

Lucia had a headache, hearing Susan say Mr. Stebbing once and again. She gritted her teeth and

looked at Susan, saying, "Okay, I'll wipe it by hand. He who has a mind to and now actually asked

her to wipe the floor by hand it

was obvious that he wanted to see her make a fool of herself

But on second thought it was a good thing that Ted treated her this way Once word got our few

people’

would believe that there was any kind of affair between them.

It seemed that Susan hadn't expected Lucia to agree so readily After hesitating for a moment, she

immediately followed Lucia and repeatedly wanned, "Don't try any tricks. You have only one hour,

and it you don't forush it on time, there will be other punishments waiting for you! Lucia gasped

She put the mop back in the toolroom, took the rag and basin and went to the custemul

When she returned to the break area with water, Lucia squatted down, soaked the rag, and wiped

the

stains on the floor bit by bit."

The break area was right between the President's Office, the meeting room and the Vice President's

Office, where people came and went. Whenever someone passed by, they would look at Lucia as if

Lucia squatted where she was, feeling embarrassed. The gazes she got from the people coming

squatted down to clean it by hand. As she was doing that with her head down, a deep voice

suddenly came from next to her. "Go and ask'®

about the planning case for the land in the West End later. Bring it to my office.” ®

Her grip on the rag tightened and she subconsciously looked up. August was coming over with two

people. He was instructing them to do something as he walked. Seemingly sensing her gaze, he

looked back.

Instantly, their eyes met.'®

August paused for half a second when he saw Lucia squatting on the floor with her disheveled hair.

His

eyebrows involuntarily wrinkled after he saw what she was doing.’

The next second, he strode straight towards her without saying a word. He stopped half suddenly

came up. "Mr. Adams, Lucia made a mistake, and Mr. Stebbing told her to clean it up here as a

punishment.” August frowned and looked at Susan coldly as he asked, "What mistake?" Even if Lucia

had made a mistake, there was no need to deliberately humiliate her with this kind of punishment

When Susan raised her eyes to meet August's icy eyes, she was instantly deflated and stammered,

"Lucia

didn't do a good job with the quotation, so..." "So she has to wipe the floor as a punishment?"

Anger glinted in August's eyes. "Since when did the

company have such a rule? How come I didn’t know it?" August just said those words, head, not

knowing what to say. August stared at her for two seconds and then averted his eyes. He looked at

Lucia who was still squatting there, pursed his thin lips coldly, and said in a deep voice, "Get up.”

Seeing the anger in the man's eyes, Lucia was a little uneasy. He had told her at the apartment that

it would be better not to have a conflict with Ted during this period before they took action, but

now, the'® situation was not very favorable.

Lucia hesitantly stood up. Before she could speak, the rag in her hand was taken away and thrown

directly into the basin. "Mr. Adams..." August turned to Susan, who was next to him, and ordered in

a deep voice, "You, clean this place up." ®

Susan turned pale with shock and panic. "I didn't make any mistake, Mr. Adams.” With his

characteristic cold face, August said in a freezing voice, "Then why don't you go and get Mr.'®

Stebbing here?" ®

Susan realized what he meant. She nodded quickly in response and walked speedily towards the Vice'®

President's Office

Lucia clenched her hands together, feeling a tle worried. August wanted Ted to come over, but she had no idea what he was up to.

these days?"

Something flickered in his eyes as August pursed his lips. “That's if he doesrit make any trouble” He paused and said in a deep voice, "But now, he's messing

with you."

With those words, August turned around and walked towards the Vice President's Office. He was covered

with the coldness that made people shudder. Watching the determined man from behind, Lucia found her heart beating faster al of a sudden. What did August
