Chapter 42: Chapter 46

Chapter 046

After a while, she stopped crying and wiped her tears. Just then, there was a knock at the door

"Open the door for the dress.”

Lucia opened the door and saw Jamie handing over a little dress, “This is a dress the organizer

prepared. It's

clean. Check the size."

Lucia took a look. It was an M. just right for her

She took the dress and found that Jamie was not so unpleasant when she looked at him again,

“Thanks.

« Hearing that, Jamie raised his eyebrows. “There is no need to say thanks between you and me.”

Lucia was surprised. Were they close enough?

At this point, she was not in the mood to look deeper into his words. She closed the door behind

her, locked it,

and then began to change.

This little white dress was a most ordinary and simple one and it's her size. Although it wasn't

gorgeous, it was much better than going out in her dirty dress.

She folded up her dress and put it in a bag before pushing open the door to get out of the room.

At the door, Jamie leaned lazily against the wall. When he saw Lucia coming out, a smile appeared

on his face

Lucia took a deep breath. She couldn't resist the urge to say thank you again.

“Mr. Nordhaus...”

Jamie frowned at the way she called him. He interrupted her with some dissatisfaction. “Didn’t you

just call me by my name? Why are you changing your mind so quickly?” Lucia twitched her lips, not

knowing what to say in reply.

“From now on, just call me by my first name.” With that, Jamie suddenly took two steps forward,

directly

approaching her, and smiled. “Let's go. It's so boring here. I'll take you to dinner.”

Lucia took a deep breath and said softly, “I'd better go home.”

Jamie raised his eyebrows and teased her. “Lucia, do you have the heart to refuse me a second

time?”

Looking back on his long history of love affairs, he had never been rejected by a woman more than

twice.

Lucia said word by word, "Sorry, but I'm already married.

What she meant was that she was married and would not accept flirtation.

Hearing that, Jamie looked at her meaningfully. “But your husband isn't so competent. He watched

you being bullied and didn't do anything about it.”

Lucia stiffened at once. She looked up at him incredulously. “You... you know?"

“TIl know anything if I want to.” Jamie paused. "But I was surprised when I first learned of your

relationship with August

When the word “August” came out of his mouth, Lucia was even more nervous

She had never expected that Jamie would find out about her relationship with August.

Lucia breathed heavily. She stared at him and said seriously, “Please don't tell anyone else about

this.”

Jamie curled his lips and said deliberately. “Why not? It's not something to be ashamed of.”

Lucia got a little anxious. “Anyway, just don’t!” Jamie found it more interesting when he saw how

annoyed the woman was. “Then you have to promise me one thing.”

Lucia took a deep breath. “You name it.”

"Have a meal with me. It's okay if you can't do it today. You can take a rain check, but you mustn't

renege on it,

Chapter 046 or else.” He drawled deliberately. Lucia got impulsive and immediately said without

thinking about it, “Okay, I promise you!"

At this point, what she feared most was that Jamie would talk about her relationship with August

everywhere,

That would cause August a lot of trouble.

Seeing that she agreed, Jamie raised his eyebrows. “Then it's a deal.”

Lucia nodded her head and replied, “Hmm.”

Now, she had no choice but to do what he wanted

When Jamie left. Lucia went back to the exhibition area. The atmosphere inside the venue was

exciting, and

everyone gathered in the innermost jewelry section.

Next to the huge showcase was a gemstone sculpture, where everyone would take pictures for the

final part of

the event

Lucia stood at the side, watching them going over there in groups, and a trace of despondency

swept through her heart

She was alone, so it would be better for her to leave. When she turned around, a group of people

happened to be walking over. August was at the front between the representative of the organizer

and Adeline Jones, the celebrity

spokesperson for the jewelry.

Adeline walked side by side with August. After a few steps, she suddenly smiled and said something

in August's

ear. Then, August curved his lips into a smile. Lucia watched them as they talked and smiled. She

unconsciously clutched her dress, feeling upset inside. Seeing that they were about to come over,

she took a step back to make way for them. Suddenly, August seemed to sense something and

turned around to look at her. Lucia’s body instantly tensed up when she saw the man turning to her,

but unexpectedly, August only gave her a glance and looked away without any hesitation. Lucia

didn't relax until she saw them walk by in front of her. Looking at the man from behind, she bit her

lip and felt a lot of emotions in her heart.

Just now, he looked at her as if she were a stranger he had never met before and he didn't fix his

eyes on her for even one more second

For some reason, Lucia couldn't help but feel disappointed when she thought of the way the man

looked at her. She sniffled and stepped out. Outside, it was raining and the sky was horribly

overcast, but she didn't know it at all until she came out of the venue.

The entrance, which had been luxurious and spectacular when she arrived, was now a somewhat

cheerless place. Lucia took a deep breath and watched as some people got out of the venue and

left in their cars, while she was standing alone at the entrance. She picked up her phone and tried to

hail a taxi online, only to find that there were dozens of people waiting before her, and it would take

a long time to get her turn Lucia stared at the heavy rain outside, wondering what to do when a

staff member suddenly approached her. “Here's an umbrella for you, Miss.” Looking at the white

transparent umbrella in front of her, Lucia was moved and reached out to take it. “Thank

you.”

With the umbrella, Lucia went down the steps. The wind was so strong that she got wet from the

rain before she

could go far. Despite that, she just wanted to stop a taxi by the road. She waited for quite a while, but there were only a few taxis and they were all occupied.

Lucia stood there.

Although she had an umbrell, she was almost soaked now. Not far away, a car was slowly moving forward at the exit of the underground garage. 2/3 66.67%

in the driver's seat Burton sau a familiar figure. He tumed around quickly and said, “Mis Adams is over there,

Sie”

August looked out of the window toward where Burton was pointing al and saw the hazy, single figure in the rain. He frowned slightly and paused for two

seconda before looking back

“Just drive.

Burton couldn't help but ask again, “Shall we take her back with us?"

August looked up at him and said in a colder voice, “Drive.” At once. Burton stapped saying anything. He stepped on the gas and focused on driving The car

went down the main road, farther and farther away from the Starlight August felt annoyed and tossed his tablet aside. All that flashed through his mind was the

scene of Lucia leaving with Jamie,

He was upset and had an indescribable feeling

But now, he couldn't bear to think of her trying to hail a taxi in the rain

After 2 moment of silence, August suddenly ordered in a deep voice, Tur around”

How could he leave her alone there?
