Submit to the Boss He Rules the Boardroom and the Bedroom

Chapter 34

Chapter 34 Thinking of that, Lucia felt a little guilty. Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

August had clearly told her to take a good rest in the hospital before he left, and she had promised to do so.

But now she was out of the hospital without telling him.

It was hardly justifiable.

Seeing that she didn’t answer the phone for a while, Bennett, who was sitting across from her, couldn’t help but laugh and say, "Why don’t you answer it.

Lucia?"

Lucia’s hand shook and hung up accidentally.

"Well, never mind.

It’s a nuisance call."

With that, she hurriedly put the phone away and smiled at Bennett.

"Mr.Martin, I’d like to confirm again the requirements for the gift boxes this time…"

Meanwhile, on the top floor of the Lion Tower, August was sitting in his bright office.

He looked at his phone after Lucia hung up on him and couldn’t help but frown.

This woman was bold enough to hang up on him again and again! Her allergies hadn’t gone yet and she dared to run away from the hospital.

He should really teach her a lesson! "Ah-choo!"

Lucia sneezed unawares.

She rubbed her nose, wondering.

Was August cursing her? She shook the strange idea out of her head before she stood up and looked at Bennett’s assistant.

"Shall we go then?"

Bennett had other appointments, so he told his assistant to take Lucia to the factory to see the samples of the gift boxes made according to her requirements.

If there were no major problems, they would start mass production Once the production started, it wouldn’t take long for these holiday gift boxes to be in place.

They would definitely be ready before the holiday.

Then, her first job as an assistant would be completed successfully.

The conditions in the production plant were not as good as those in the company after all.

After they got there, Lucia felt extremely uncomfortable when she walked with the assistant around the roaring operation room.

Her allergies had not yet completely healed, and her skin was exposed to the factory air and dust, so she naturally did not feel comfortable.

Lucia left the factory after checking the gift box samples and making sure there was nothing wrong with them.

She had been busy all afternoon and was so hungry that she couldn’t make it home for dinner.

She ate a bowl of hot noodles at a nearby restaurant before taking the car home.

1 As soon as she came in, she saw Turner waiting for her in the living room.

"You’re finally back, Madam."

Seeing that Turner looked strange, Lucia asked, "What’s wrong?"

Turner told her in a low voice, "Mr.Adams is home.

He asked where you were as soon as he got back, and when he heard you weren’t home, he seemed a little angry."

Angry? Was it because she didn’t answer his call? Or was it because she had stood him up? After all, she said she wanted to have dinner with him… Feeling itchy again in the places where she suffered from allergies, Lucia couldn’t think about it anymore.

She looked at Turner and said softly, "I’ll go to my room for a shower, Turner.

Can you come to my bedroom in half an hour and help me apply the allergy medicine?"

Turner nodded.

"Yes."

Seeing that she agreed, Lucia then quickly went up to her bedroom.

She had been busy all day and hadn’t had time to apply the medicine.

She was so exhausted at this point that she just wanted to take a shower and lie down on the bed to sleep.After a warm shower, Lucia felt much more relaxed from head to toe.

She wiped her hair, wrapped a bath towel around herself, and collapsed directly onto the soft bed.

It was not cold at all in the room.

She lay there and fell into a sleepy haze in no time.

Just as she was drifting off, she suddenly heard the sound of footsteps approaching.

She was too tired to open her eyes, so she muttered, "Turner, the medicine is on the table.

Please help me apply All she wanted now was a good night’s sleep, and she didn’t notice anything wrong.

August stood at the bed, looking at the woman lying on the bed with a bath towel around her.

The majority of her bare back was exposed, which was somewhat too pale in his eyes.

Seeing the ointment on the table next to him, he casually picked it up, went to the bed, and sat down, wondering if he should help her apply it.

After all, now she was… Lucia couldn’t help feeling a little anxious when she didn’t hear any movement for a while.

"Come on…"

If it took a little longer, she was afraid that she would really fall asleep.

Come on? 2 Hearing her words, August got it wrong and thought she meant something else.

After all, he wasn’t a pure kid.

Seeing her naked in front of him, he couldn’t help imagining things, of course.

August screwed off the cap of the ointment.

He didn’t find a cotton swab, so he squeezed the ointment into his hand and used his fingertip to gently apply it to the small red spot on the back of her neck, and then to her shoulder blade… The creamy scent of the woman’s body wash kept going up his nose.

He tried to focus and stop himself from getting distracted.

Lucia kept her eyes closed and her body shivered gently when she felt the tickling touch on her back.

The rough fingertip made her feel indescribably comfortable as it applied the medicine for her.

She asked curiously.

"Turner… are your hands so rough because you work all year round?"

August paused abruptly, wondering if he should answer.

Just then, Lucia opened her eyes and slowly turned around.

When she saw that it was August who was sitting on the bed and applying the medicine for her, Lucia felt like she had an electric shock and jumped up from the bed.

"Why… are you here!"

She panicked and pulled the bed sheet to cover her body.

The sleepy feeling she had had earlier dissipated all of a sudden Seeing her reaction, August frowned slightly and his embarrassment was replaced by displeasure.

He raised his eyebrow inadvertently.

"Can’t be here?"

He was her husband, so why couldn’t he help her apply the medicine? Sensing August’s displeasure, Lucia blinked and curbed her panic.

"Yeah… I didn’t mean that.

I thought it was Turner…"

She took a deep breath and slowly calmed down.

August frowned slightly and ordered coldly, "Come over and lie down."

Lucia got flustered again.

"What?"

August said unhappily, "We haven’t done with the medicine.

Where are you going?"

"Oh…"

Lucia hesitantly responded and slowly lay back down on the bed, but her whole body was tense.

No wonder she felt the finger that applied the medicine for her was rough just now.

So it was him.

August raised his hand and held her shoulder down to relax her body before he went on applying the medicine for her.Thinking of what had happened in the afternoon, he couldn’t help but ask, "Didn’t I tell you to rest and get well in the hospital? Who permitted you to leave the hospital?"

Lucia stammered an explanation.

"I-I had something to do in the afternoon."

"And you didn’t answer my call?"

She lied without thinking.

"I-I didn’t hear it."

"You didn’t hear it?"

August paused.

He suddenly leaned over and came up to her ear, "Are you sure you didn’t hang up on me?"

He wasn’t stupid and could tell if someone missed or refused his call.

He suddenly came so close that Lucia could almost smell his faint fragrance.

And all of a sudden, she got hot.

Looking at the woman’s fair and delicate face, August did not hesitate to reach out and pinch her cheek as he seemingly warned and ordered, "Don’t you ever hang up on me again."

Lucia responded quickly.

"Okay, I won’t."

Only when she promised did August let go of her cheek and continue to finish applying the medicine silently.

Then, he said lightly, "Do you want me to help you with the front?"

Lucia had a lot of red spots on her chest as well.

Now that he was done with her back, it was time for the front.

Lucia didn’t get it at first and then when she realized the meaning of his words, her cheeks felt like they were on fire, hot and scorching.

Fearing that he might misunderstand, she hurriedly said, "No… thanks.

I’ll do it myself."
