Chapter 006

Hence Lucia cautiously said to August, "I can take the subway, so I won't bother you."

Hearing that, August, who was reading the newspaper, raised his head and looked at Lucia. His gaze

lingered on

Lucia's reddened face for a few seconds. Then he said, “Lucia, have you forgotten?"

Lucia was confused by the question, "What did I forget?"

"You are my wife." Replied by August. "Oh." Lucia didn't say another word and got into the car

obediently. Because of these words, Lucia's heart suddenly softened. No matter what happened

between her and August or what August had been like, now he was her husband, and she was his

wife. If nothing unexpected happened, they would be together for the rest of their lives.

Finally, at the last minute of work time, Lucia arrived at the office and pressed her fingerprint to

punch in. In

such a way, she could get two hundred dollars as this month's full attendance awards. Leaning

against her desk, Lucia gasped for air. At first, she had thought they would be discovered. Out of her

expectation, August had a private entrance all the time where there was no one else. So she could

take August's car in the future without worrying that someone would discover it. She was very

happy to think about it.

Just as Lucia was feeling lucky, a department meeting was about to begin. Lucia grabbed her laptop

and quickly found herself a seat in the small corner of the meeting room. Lion Group had a large

administrative department with a total of more than 50 people. It cooperated with different

departments for daily business operations. The content of the meeting was still the same as usual,

such as personal appearance, attendance policy, and punctuality in the workplace.

The routine presentation made her a little sleepy. Just then, Carter, the administrative director,

suddenly called out Lucia's name, and everyone in the meeting was woken up by the news and

turned to look at her. Lucia was even more confused, but she had to stand up obediently eve

"From now on, Lucia will be promoted to administrative assistant.” Carter applauded after speaking.

Although other attendees felt a little bit strange, they followed. Then the meeting was over. Lucia, as

the person who was promoted, was confused. She hurriedly followed behind Carter and asked,

"What's

going on? Did I get a promotion?"

Casting a glance at Lucia, Carter replied blankly, "I just received a notice from the human resources

department this morning. As for the reason, I don't know either.” Then she left.

For a moment, Lucia became a hot topic in the department. Lion Group had a strict set of criteria for

promotion. The intern had to finish her internship for three months, and then pass both the exams

and the interview if she wanted to be a formal employee. And if an average employee wanted to be

promoted to an assistant, they had

to work for three years and pass the assessment of the director.

Lucia had only two years of experience on the job, so she was not qualified. Therefore, her

promotion caused a discussion.

"What makes Lucia an assistant? By the way, I remember that you have been working for three

years. The

director is good to you. In my opinion, you should be the one to be promoted." "Who the hell

knows what kind of plain dumb luck she has!"

In the lady's room, there were more criticisms than congratulations about Lucia's promotion. At the

same time, Lucia, who was listening to her colleagues’ comments in a booth, felt miserable.

Although she had only been in the company for two years, she was diligent in every assignment.

She took the job seriously and got along with her colleagues well. How could she be hated for

being promoted? "Lucia, Congratulations!" Lydia Anderson jumped in front of Lucia and handed her

an apple when the depressed Lucia returned to her seat.

Lydia, who had just turned 20 this year, was a young girl who had been interning in the company for

almost

three months. She had been assigned to Lucia since she had entered the company. During the

period, Lucia

0.10

Chapler 006 treated Lydia as her sister. Lydia was the first person to congratulate Lucia, which made

Lucia feel better. She smiled at Lydia and said, "Thank you. Lydia," and then took the apple from her.

The promotion led to a handover from Lucia to Lydia. As Lydia followed Lucia, listening carefully to

what Lucia said, suddenly, her sight fell on the ring on Lucia's ring finger. Lydia's eyes lit up with

surprise. "Lucia, your ring is so beautiful!" Although there was no diamond embedded in the ring,

the contoured design pleased the eye.

Hearing Lydia's comment, Lucia stopped and set her eyes on the ring. She couldn't help but think of

the scene

where August had put the ring on her finger. Although it was not a romantic occasion, a handsome

person always made people feel romantic and dreamy. Thinking about it, Lucia felt her cheeks blush.

"Lucia, would you mind letting me try it?" Lydia stared at the ring on Lucia's finger and asked

sincerely.

Lucia hadn't expected Lydia to make such a request. Looking into Lydia's eager eyes, Lucia was in a

dilemma because August had told her that she was not allowed to take off this ring no matter

whenever and wherever. So Lucia said to Lydia apologetically after hesitating for a moment, "I'm

sorry, this is my wedding ring."

Lydia was surprised at Lucia's reply. She quickly apologized, "Geez, I'm sorry. I didn't know. I was so

rude.” But

there was still a flash of disappointment and unwillingness in her eyes.

"It's all right." Lucia comforted her.

When did you get married?” Lydia tilted her head and asked curiously. During her internship in the

company. Lydia had a general understanding of everyone in the department. Lucia had been single

all the time before, and she hadn't even had a boyfriend. It was rather strange and unexpected that

she suddenly wore a wedding ring.

Lucia realized that her case was strange, but she couldn't tell the truth. Even if she told them she

was actually on a blind date with the president of Lion Group and they had married, perhaps no one

would buy it.

After thinking for a while, Lucia described it lightly, "I met him on a blind date. It just happened

recently.” Then

she lowered her head and continued her work.

Seeing that Lucia didn't say anything more, Lydia dropped the topic. About twenty minutes later,

Lucia finally

finished sorting out the handover. She printed them out and handed them over to Lydia.

"Thank you, Lucia," Lydia said in a sweet voice, with the documents in her arms. She looked at her

watch and

found that it was time for lunch. She said to Lucia, "Lucia, I still have some questions that I don't

understand. How about we have lunch together and you can tell me again?"

Afraid that Lucia wouldn't agree, she added, "I'm afraid of making mistakes, so I won't get through

the

internship.” She frowned and looked at Lucia with pitiful eyes. In response, Lucia had no reason to

reject Lydia and happily agreed.

“Lydia, are we having lunch here?” Lucia asked.

The hotel they arrived at was the one with the highest standard in Austos, in terms of its furnishing or food. It was not a place that any person

could afford. Lydia, who had been leading the way, immediately tured around to hold Luca's arm. She replied with 2 smile, “Yes, I have booked

a private room just now.”

"But, isn't it too expensive?” Lucia still felt it was not proper to have a working lunch in such a place. It was too

extravagant

“Lucia, I want to thank you for taking care of me ll the time. Besides, Ive made the reservation. It will be a

waste if we don't eat it" Lydia said as she grabbed Lucia's wrist tightly, as if she was afraid that Lucia would run away. Lucia was thinking about

how much the meal would cost, not noticing this small gesture.

Seeing that Lucia didn't say anything, Lydia pulled Lucia inside in a hurry. After entering the private room, Lucia was once again shocked by the

luxurious decor. Lucia looked at Lydia with suspicion. After thinking for a while, she asked, “lydia, are you born into a rich family?" Lydia smiled

at Lucia's question but didn't answer it. Seeing this, Lucia felt a little relieved. If Lydia were an average person, she wouldn't agree on having the

meal. After all it was not worthwhile to have 2 meal with her yo two menthe Luole have a seat. What would you like to eat?” Lydia sat down next

to Lucia and handed over the menu Lucia took 2 deep breath when she saw the priceeven the cheapest dish was priced at four figures. Now she

suspected the customers here were gold eaters. "Lydia, let's go somewhere else.” The price made Lucia's heart ache.

With a smile on her face, Lydia took the menu from Lucia and said, “Its my treat. Don't worry." Lydia flipped through the menu while ordering.

At this point, Lucia felt like peeing. She then went to the restroom in the room. When she came back, dishes and drinks had been on the table.

As soon as she sat down, Lydia raised her glass of juice and said to her, “Congratulations, Lucial You've got 2 promotion!" Hearing the heart-

warming words, Lucia picked up the juice and clinked glasses with Lydia. "Lydia, thank you.” Then after taking only a sip, she put down the cup.

Lydia kept her eyes on Lucia. Upset by Lucia only taking a sip, she drank the juice in her cup up in one gulp, and then showed the empty glass to

Lucia and said, "Lucia, drink it up. After al, it's to congratulate your promotion!"

Lucia thought Lydia had a point. Given that juice was not a strong drink and the worst would only be 2 full stomach, so she picked up the juice

again and drank the rest in one breath.

Seeing that Lucia had stepped into her trap, Lydia smiled and looked at the time without her expression changing
