like this within a day of her arrival here Lucia opened the map on her phone to estimate the fare.

Seeing the estimated fare was 150 FRD, she knew at once that this driver was trying to cheat her!'®

Lucia took a deep breath and showed the screen of her phone to the driver. “I can only give you

150." ®

The driver glanced at the screen and immediately shook his head. "No, 400, 400 FRD." ®

Seeing how insistent he was, Lucia was even angrier in her heart. Did he really think that people

from Cannada had money growing on trees, which was so easy to get?

She also insisted on her position and refused to budge. "Just 150." Hearing that, the driver looked

angry as well. He gestured with his hands, saying. "Then I'll... drive you back there!"

With that, he pointed to the place where the phone card store was. Lucia was stunned, not

expecting him to say that. Seeing him about to start the car, she immediately pushed open the door

and got out of the car. The driver angrily rolled down the window and held out four fingers. "400,

400!"

wine, she refused to stop arguing with the driver.’

Here in a foreign country, she wouldn't lose the face of her countrymen. She had to gestures. The

Inside the car, August raised his eyes and saw through the front window that Lucia, wearing a cool

halter white dress, was arguing fiercely with the taxi driver’

Instantly, his eyebrows furrowed slightly."

This woman was actually fighting with someone abroad,’

Burton, who was sitting up front, also saw it. He turned to August hesitantly and asked, "Mr. Adams,

is trying to overcharge her.”

August's eyes darkened. Without saying a word, he pushed open the door to get out of the car

straight away and stepped toward Lucia.’

Lucia was so focused on the argument with the driver that she didn't notice the man approaching

from behind.’

She looked serious and said word by word, “I won't fall for it. Just 150. If you don't want it, I'll leave

right away."

No sooner had she finished speaking than she suddenly felt that her wrist was grabbed and she was

pulled aside. When she’

August? What was he doing here? ®

August stood in front of the taxi, looking down at the driver. His aura was so strong that it was a bit

overwhelming.

He opened his mouth and said fluently in English, "Get out of here now, or I'll call the police!" ®

With that, he turned slightly sideways, took the 150 FRD from Lucia's hand, and shoved it through

the taxi window. The driver was apparently subdued by August's presence. Just now he saw that

Lucia was from Cannada and that she was alone and vulnerable, so he tried to make more money by

overcharging her, but he didn't expect such a result Without saying anything more, the driver took

the money, rolled up the window quickly, and stepped on the gas. Watching the car fly away, Lucia

stood where she was, feeling even more stunned. To her surprise, she had argued with the driver for

quite a while, but it was not as effective as August coming over to say something like that!"

After a glance at the car that was flying away, August turned around unhurriedly, gave her a cold

look, and said coldly. "What a bad judge”

Lucia was confused, thinking she had heard it wrong."

What did being a bad judge have to do with being overcharged?

August's eyes were sullen and cold. He curled his lip and mocked, "You don't have a good eye for

drivers or men."

Hearing that, Lucia was shocked and puzzled.

What did he mean by not having a good eye for men?’

Just then. August glanced at her, pursed his lips more tightly, and said word by word, "You accept a

man who can't even protect you. I'm really impressed.”

Lucia could tell that there was a hidden meaning in his words. What happened outside the company

craned her neck to look behind August. Her lips curved into an innocent smile as she asked as if on

purpose. Why don't you have a star with you on your business trip today, Mr. Adams? Can you

Suppressing his imitation, August stepped forward and slowly approached her. After a few seconds, the coldness on his face faded and it was replaced by a

smile. He slowly moved closer to her and whispered in her ear, asking in an extremely soft voice, “Is Hearing those words, Lucia instantly elt her cheeks
