Submit to the Boss He Rules the Boardroom and the Bedroom

Chapter 57

Within ten minutes, there was a knock at the door, followed by Burton pushing the door in, "Mr.Adams, Irene is here."

August nodded slightly, "You go out."

"Yes."

Burton turned around walked out of the room, and closed the door by the way.

Irene stood in the doorway, inexplicably feeling guilty, "Mr.Adams, what’s the matter?"

"Come here."

August didn’t look up, sitting on the couch and casually flipping through the magazine on his lap.

Seeing this situation, Irene was in a cold sweat on her back.

She clasped her hands together and moved forward slowly.

After the last lesson, she truly realized the horror of this man.

He seemed to be calm on the surface, but he could crush a human with ease.

August looked up.

Seeing her slow movements and stiff expression, he smiled crookedly and asked, "Did the mango taste good last time?"

As soon as she heard about mangoes, Irene couldn’t help but feel sour in her stomach.

She forced herself to hold back her discomfort and took a deep breath, "Yes… delicious."

It was so good that she never wanted to eat another mango in her life! "Well, that’s fine."

August paused and whispered, "Where were you last night around 8:30?"

"Hate in the private room with the others."

"Did you go out?"

"I went to the bathroom twice…"

August glanced at her and continued, "Did you know that Lucia fell into the pool yesterday?"

When she heard the word "Lucia", Irene’s face went pale, "I know..Mr.Adams, don’t you think that I did it?"

August raised an eyebrow, "It wasn’t you?"

"Yes!"

Irene said with certainty and hastily added, "Yesterday I was in the private room drinking with other colleagues.And I went to the bathroom with Mary.You can ask her if you don’t believe me! I don’t even know where Lucia went!"

Hearing her explain so much at once, August didn’t panic and then asked, "Okay, so did you do anything to Lucia in the restaurant bathroom at noon yesterday?"

Irene opened her eyes wide and was speechless, "…"

At the time she saw Lucia, she did get angry and splashed her with water.

August became a little more serious, "Go ahead."

Irene hurriedly said, "I didn’t mean to do it.I just accidentally threw the water on her!" Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

"What about yesterday morning? You did nothing with the water for the ice bucket punishment?"

Yesterday morning while doing the game, Lucia and he lost and drew the punishment of the ice bucket challenge.

It was then that he saw Irene hovering next to the ice bucket.

Later he took responsibility for both buckets of water being poured on him, and he clearly felt that one bucket of water was much colder than the other.

That bucket of water had been added with more ice.

Upon hearing this, Irene suddenly turned pale, "MrMr.Adams, I just taught her a small lesson.

Last time I was punished because of her and was hospitalized for several days.

I feel so bad… This time, I see that she even implicates you, so I just… When he heard her say that, August frowned and held back his anger.

The first 1 time he suspected her was when he saw her hovering by the bucket.

The second time he suspected her was when he saw Lucia with water on her face and saw Irene coming out of the bathroom.

Both of these things were done by Irene, and it was natural for him to think that she might have pushed Lucia into the water last night, He clenched his fist and asked in a deep voice, "Did you push Lucia into the swimming pool? Irene shivered, "It wasn’t me! I just wanted to teach Lucia a little lesson.How dare I do such a harmful thing!"

The way she was shaking and explaining didn’t look like she was lying.

August took a breath and said in a deep voice, "Irene, the reason I didn’t fire you was for your uncle’s sake.If you hurt Lucia again, you know what to do without me telling you."

Irene said in a rush, ’Yes! I won’t hurt her anymore!"

When she left and Burton came in, August asked, "Was she here all last night?"

Burton nodded, "Yes.I asked several people.They all said Irene was here the whole night and she went to the bathroom with someone else, too."

August casually put the magazine aside, "Okay, I get it."

It seemed to be more complicated than he imagined Meanwhile, in the Lakeside Manor superior suite on the same floor, a man was sitting in front of a large floor-to-ceiling window.

Suddenly, the man in the wheelchair spoke up leisurely, "He was gone all night and didn’t come out?"

Bob nodded, "Yes, he came back this morning, but he seemed a little suspicious."

Bishop shook the goblet in his hand, "Will the waiter you arranged to keep the secret? Will he tell others?"

Bob affirmed, "He will keep the secret, and he dare not say anything.He is the one who pushed Lucia and saved Lucia.If he told others, August would not let him go."

Bishop smiled crookedly and said softly, "So, in your opinion, do you think he likes Lucia?"

Bob was silent for a moment and replied without expression, "Mr.Adams, I don’t know much about love."

Bishop smiled and said softly, "In that case, let’s try again."

After he finished, he turned his head to look out the window, and his eyes finally rested on the Lakeside.

He murmured, "I heard that it’s the Administration Department’s turn to take boats out on the lake today?"

"Yes."

Hearing the reply, Bishop laughed more brilliant… "Bang Bang!"

"Lucia, are you awake?"

I was still dreaming when she was suddenly woken up by a knock on the door.

She suddenly got up from the bed, took a look at the time, and couldn’t help but raise her hand to slap her head.

How did she wake up so late? The half of the bed on her side was empty, and Lucia swept around, her eyes finally resting on the piece of paper on the bedside table.

"Get some rest.We will take a boat trip to the lake in the morning and you can be at the hotel if you don’t want to go."

Lucia smiled crookedly until she heard Emma’s knock on the door again, then she reacted and rushed to the door to open it.

As soon as she opened the door and saw Emma who was worried outside, she hurriedly said, "Sorry, I’m too tired."

Emma didn’t blame her and asked, "I heard you fell in the water yesterday.Are you okay?"

Lucia smiled, "I’m fine."

"That’s fine.This morning, everyone is going to take a boat trip to the lake.Do you want to go?"

Lucia didn’t think much about it and answered, "Sure."

When she first arrived at Lakeside Manor yesterday, she marveled at the view.

She didn’t want to miss the chance to go out and see it today, After changing her clothes, she went with Emma to the meeting place by the lake.

This time, it was the Administration Department and Secretary’s Office’s turn to take a boat trip to the lake.

Soon after arriving, Lucia saw August and Burton walking toward her.

The crowd greeted August.

He nodded, took a fast look around, and finally looked at Lucia.

He told her to rest well at the hotel, but to his surprise, she came over anyway.

The staff at the lake saw that people had arrived and asked, "How do you want to play? Do you want to take boats on the lake or compete?"

As soon as Guy heard there was a competition, he immediately asked about the rules with great interest.

The staff explained, "The race is to drive the boat in teams, with two to four people forming a team.

We have put red flags in some teeds in the lake, and the team that drives the boat back within the time limit and gets the most red flags wins.

After hearing the rules of the competition, everyone wanted to compete and excitedly started grouping.

August paused, looked at Lucia, cleared his throat, and spoke, "Why don’t we still group as we did yesterday."
