Before Timothy and Janet knew it, they had played for the entire afternoon They all absorbed
themselves into the fun of the wildlife park
They played with monkeys, touched elephants skins, and even stroked a python
The animals were at first scared of the kids, but, after the afternoon, they got along better
Kids were so innocent that they could easily accept other beings Lucia could feel their changes and
felt gratified from the bottom of her heart
She was right about the shooting job
At least, in this way, she could teach the kids to love and respect wildlife It was a precious lesson
from nature
Before the end of the day s work, the director asked the kids how they felt and communicated with
them about the shooting plan for the next day
Luc a sat aside and took a rare relaxation from taking care of both the kids
At this moment, a black car drove over slowly and stopped right outside the shooting site Then, the
door opened and a tall figure came out of it
Lucia didnt notice the car as she kept her eyes on her children all the time She didnât turn to the car
until the director abruptly stood up and walked outside
When she saw the man standing in front of the car, she was stunned and dumbfounded
Am I hallucinatingâ How come August is hereâ
She gave a gasp and hurriedly sat straight. She rubbed her eyes and again shot her gaze in the
same direction
As if by telepathic reaction. August also turned to look at her at the same time. When their eyes
met, it was as if a spark had been ignited
Lucia was so shocked that she even held her breath She hurriedly flinched away from him, and
unwittingly clenched her hands
What on earth is going onâ After she returned Austos City, she could run into August so frequently.
If their meeting the day before could be called a coincidence, it would be too weird that she should
meet him again at workâ
Suddenly, the director turned to her and called her "Lucia, come over please
Lucia took a deep breath and suppressed the anxiety and doubts in her heart. She stood up and
walked towards them with pretended composure
The director coughed twice and began introducing, âPresident Adams, this is Lucia, the mother of
our two little models She is a director
Before the director could finish, August had already turned to Lucia He narrowed his eyes in a half-
smile 'l knowâ
The director was stunned "You know each otherâ
August cast the director a glance and said indifferently, âI can talk to her myself
Hearing this, the director was embarrassed He rubbed his nose to ease his awkwardness and said,
"Well, I'll leave you two alone
Then, he left
After the director went away, Lucia looked up at August and felt annoyed
"August, what on earth do you wantâ
She might as well believe that pigs could fly than believe that it is another coincidence.
August raised his chin slightly and said, "You seemed to be ignorant of the fact that I ordered the
shooting of the commercials In some
senses, I am your bossâ
Hearing this, Lucia sneered, "You think I would believe thatâ
He just came along and claimed that he was her boss The Devil may care*
"Doni believe meâ* August didnât hesitate to prove himself He cast the director a glance and said
lightly. What do you think the director was doing with meâ
Lucia was rendered wordless by his question
His words were true If he was nobody, the director wouldn't welcome and greet him in person
Could it be that August is the big boss mentioned by Elijahâ,
After she realized the fact, Lucia's heart skipped a beat In disbelief, she took a step back and
panicked. "You how could it be you⢠She tried so hard to avoid him, and, in the end, she should be
working for him!
August wasn't surprised at her reaction He pressed his lips and then said, âI came to tell you in
person that I don't agree with your proposal to speed up the progressâ
Before Lucia knew it, August had been talking seriously, "To me, quality always comes in the first
place I dont need speed I need quality
More than that, I will personally check the samples before you could proceed with shooting *
August s words made Lucia's face paler "You *
They never mentioned a thing about sample checks His arrival not only brought his refusal to her
proposal but also brought an additional
term How could she just give in to such a bullyâ
âAugust, don't you think you're going too far?â
August raised his brows, and answered indifferently, "Am I' Lucia Mitchell, I think you ve been
abroad for too long that you begin
forgetting the working procedures in our nation â
Then, he cast Lucia one last glance and then got in his car
His devil-may-care attitude made Lucia exttemely angry She gritted her teeth and stopped him from
closing the door âAugust Adams, we need to make it straightâ
If she had known that August was the biggest sponsor of this shooting, she would die rather than
accept this job for her kids
Lucia was so agitated that she stumbled She wanted to reason with him, but, instead, she lost her
balance and fell on August
"Bang!"
Lucias head hit the man s strong chest She felt so painful that she frowned Before she realized what
had happened, she had been supported by a pair of big hands
Before she could keep her feet, she heard the mans laughter âLucia, you dont have to approach me
with a such clumsy trickâ
Hearing this, Lucia blushed She was embarrassed and also annoyed She took a step back and
regained her footing She retorted, âThat's
nonsense, August Adams
August showed a desire to tease this tte woman He smiled and sad, âOnâ But everyone around saw f. You took the nftative to fall on
His words made Lucia more embarassed
After taking a deep breath, she aited hr teeth and pointed at the man âAugust You
Before she could finish speaking. August grasped her index finger that was pointing at im
His warm paim wrapped her finger The warmth was lie ectricty, Giving her » sudden shock and making her numb
sefore she cous react, August had taken Out 2 sky headdress lower and wore It to ner nce finger
Lucia was completely confused
What s 7 Some tick to pick up girs or prank to humiliate me
August raises the comer of is ps at the sight of er daze He explaines, It Janet s She eft to me yesterday I brought ft for her
Lucia fixed her eyes on the headdress flower and made sure that ft was the one that belonged to Janet
However, for some reason, her heart was pounding fest, cheek was rosy in abashment, She coudn't control herself
Was she beguiled by August
