Chapter 54

Lucia couldn’t help but look up at August and Adeline while thinking about it August and Adeline found
a seat.

After that, August took the menu and tenderly handed it to Adeline, letting her order first.

Emma continued to talk to herself, "They don’t seem to have a normal relationship.

After all, Mr.Adams never treat any woman so well regularly."

"Top!"

The fork in Lucia’s hand suddenly fell into the plate, making a sharp sound and spilling the sauce
everywhere.

Lucia hurriedly took the napkin and started to wipe the sauce in a panic, Emma looked back and asked
in a strange voice, "Lucia, what’s wrong with you?"

"I'm fine, just a little careless.I’ll go to the bathroom to wash up first."

Lucia hemmed and hawed.

Then she stood up, not daring to look at Emma, and turned directly in the direction of the bathroom She
felt confused and had an indefinable sense of loss.

Although August and she had little affection at first, she was his wife anyway.

Seeing hirn having lunch with another woman made her feel uncomfortable Lucia stood in front of the
mirror and washed her hands lost in thought.



"I can meet her wherever I go.Bad luck!"

Hearing a sarcastic voice from the side, Lucia subconsciously turned her head and saw Irene coming
out of the toilet stall.

It was a small world.

They had just quarreled in the entertainment hall and met again here not long after Irene walked next to
Lucia, turned on the faucet, washed her hands unhurriedly, and said in a cold voice, "You don’t even
look in the mirror to see if you are worthy of being a primary three?"

Hearing these harsh words, Lucia frowned, stretched out her hand to turn off the tap, and said in a
deep voice, word by word, "That’s none of your business either."

Lucia was already in a bad mood, and now that Irene wanted to humiliate her, she naturally didn’t want
to put up with her anymore.

After she said that, Irene’s face turned blue and she stared at Lucia with gritting teeth, and when she
finally couldn’t find the right words to retort, she reached out and splashed a handful of water from the
tap directly onto Lucia’s face 1 Suddenly Lucia felt cold water being thrown in her face, which made her
very surprised.

She never expected Irene to splash her with water when she couldn’t get the upper hand verbally!
"Irene, don’t go too far…"

Before she could finish her sentence, Irene took another handful of water and threw it at her face, "How
did I go too far? You deserve it."

Lucia’s face was splashed with water again, and as she saw Irene trying to catch the water again, she
took a deep breath, pushed her hand away, and quickly turned to run out of the bathroom.



Before drying the water from her hair and face, she left in a panic.

Suddenly, a tall, familiar man came up to her not far away.

Seeing Lucia stumbling forward with wet hair, August called out in surprise, "Lucia."

Lucia froze at the words, and when she looked up, she saw August coming at her.

So, she lowered her head and ran away quickly She didn’t want him to see her in such a mess.

August turned around and watched the woman run away quickly, frowning slightly.

Why was Lucia avoiding him? And what about the water on her face and hair? August took out his cell
phone and was about to call Lucia when he looked up and saw Irene and Mary walking toward him.

They greeted him "Hello, Mr.Adams."

August nodded slightly and said nothing.

After they left, August called Lucia, but there was no answer.

He hung up the phone and frowned, "Forget it.I can ask her when meeting her."

Lucia ran out of the restaurant and went straight back to her hotel room.

After sitting on the bed for a while, she slowly calmed down.

"Ding-ring-"

The phone suddenly rang and she shuddered, looking nervously at the screen.

Only when she saw that it was Emma calling did she answer it.



"Hello? Lucia, where are you?"

Lucia whispered, "I-I’m going back to the hotel and I’m not feeling well."

"What’s wrong? Do you need to call a doctor?"

"No, it’s probably because I didn’t sleep well yesterday and I’m a little bit depressed."

Lucia casually made an excuse, not wanting Emma to worry about her.

"Okay.Then you take a good rest."

Lucia took a deep breath, "Emma, please ask Carter for a leave of absence for me.I won’t be going to
the afternoon event and I want to get some rest."

Emma agreed, "Okay.Call me if you need anything."

"Okay."

Lucia hung up the phone and lay down on her bed, feeling a mess in her heart.

Although she was angry with Irene for what she had just done to her, what made her feel more
uncomfortable was seeing August with Adeline, so she didn’t want to go to the afternoon event.

She closed the curtains and fell asleep, not thinking about it anymore.

But she didn’t expect to sleep for the rest of the afternoon.

When she woke up in a daze, it was already completely dark outside.

There was a "bang, bang, bang" at the door, accompanied by a few urgent calls from Emma.

Lucia sat up in a hurry, got out of bed, and went to the door.



"What…what’s wrong?"

Seeing her safe, Emma breathed a sigh of relief, "I was scared to death!I called you and no one
answered; I knocked for a long time and no one answered the door!"

Lucia rubbed her eyes and smiled at her, "I was sleeping."

Emma patted her on the shoulder, "Go wash your face.We’ll have a big dinner together tonight!"

Hearing her say that, Lucia realized that it was getting late.

After cleaning up a bit and washing her face, Lucia went to the big private room with Emma.

In the evening, everyone in their development gathered there for dinner.

Emma pulled Lucia and sat down in a corner.

At this time, the table was almost full of food.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Carter poured a glass of wine and got up to gesture to everyone,
"It’s rare that everyone is gathered today, so let’s take this opportunity to have a drink together."

Everyone stood up with a smile and raised their glasses to toast.

Guy also said with a smile, "This is the special fruit wine made here, sweet and delicious.You women
drink as much as you like and we men drink white wine!"

The crowd laughed, raised their glasses together, and drank the wine.

Looking at the bright liquid, Lucia tasted it.

This wine was sour and sweet, really quite good.



After sitting down, everyone started to eat and drink.

One by one, under the leadership of someone unknown, everyone started toasting.

Lucia was not interested in these table games and focused on the food in front of her.

After someone mentioned it, Guy suddenly called out to her, "Lucia, shouldn’t you toast us too?"

Lucia was stunned, "Me?"

Yo! You are now the luckiest woman in our department.

As soon as you came to Lakesi in which made many female all egues envious of you! When Guy said
that, a few voices rose next to him, "Yes! You have to drink to us!"

Lucia took a deep breath, knowing that she couldn’t resist in this situation.

As soon as she heard August, she thought of him having lunch with the actress Adeline, and the
discomfort that was at the bottom of her heart was rekindled.

Lucia gritted his teeth and stood up.

After that, she picked up the bottle of wine next to her, filled the glass, and lifted it to gesture to
everyone, "Okay.Toast to you!"
