SUBMIT TO THE BOSS HE RULES THE BOARDROOM AND THE BEDROOM Chapter 333

Jeanne’s scheming

The contract was her trump card.

With it, she could resign and escape from August, far away.

Lucia carefully put the contracts in her bag.

Then, she directly left Iszoom.She was taking bold and risky actions this day.She called Burton and attained the photos.

Then, she threatened Jonathan.

Any mistakes would doom her.

Luckily, everything succeed as she had wished.

Contract in her bag, she went back to her office directly.She then drafted an application for resignation and signed her name on it.She put the application along with the contracts in a document envelope.

After sealing the envelope, she handed it to Emma “Emma, please hand this envelope to Mr.Adams tomorrow afternoon.Do send it in the afternoon.I am busy tomorrow, and I won’t come to the office.”

Emma was confused and asked, “Why afternoon?”

Lucia took a deep breath.

In complicated feeling, she answered, “Because it would be the best time.I’ll count on you.”

Her flight was in the afternoon.

She had to make sure that she had boarded the plane by the time August received the documents.

It was the safest arrangement.

Although Emma was still a little confused, she nodded and agreed.

After settling down everything in the office, Lucia felt relaxed.

She left the company right at the clock-out time and went directly to the hospital.

She had told Paul that she was leaving in next day’s afternoon.

After the contract was signed and official business were all settled down, she had only Bill and Elisa to worry about.

She asked tentatively about whether they wanted to leave Austos City.

However, they had made up their mind to stay.

How could she force them to leave the city? In the hospital, she had dinner with her parents.

Lucia stood by the bed and messaged Bill’s shoulder and listened to Elisa talking about the funny things that happened in the hospital.

Before Lucia knew it, they had been chatting for an hour.

Lucia looked at the clock and felt depressed.

She finally said, “Dad, mom.There is one thing that I didn’t tell you…”

Bill turned to her and asked, “What is it?”

“I need to go abroad for a while.”

Lucia braced herself up and said, “I want to see the outside world and broaden my horizon.You can take it as a study tour.”

Hearing this, Bill and Elisa both looked serious.

Elisa asked first, “Why are you going abroad all of a sudden? Our country is good.Besides, your dad and I won’t be against you if you want to travel around.”

Lucia bit her lips and said, “I want to have a look at the outside world.Just for a while…”

She had told Paul that she would hide from August for a while in a foreign land.

It was the safest for her baby.

She couldn’t imagine what would August do if he knew about her pregnancy.

Elisa didn’t want her daughter to leave.

As she wanted to continue to persuade Lucia, Bill raised his hand and stopped her.

“I agree with Lucia.Lucia, you’re still young.You should go out and see the bigger world…”

Hearing this, Elisa widened her eyes, obviously disagreeing with Bill’s opinion.

“That’s not…”

Bill shook his head and mentioned his wife to stop.He slightly turned to Elisa and patted Lucia’s hands which were placed on his shoulders.He said gently, “Lucia, dad supports you.But, if you ever have any difficulties, you gotta tell dad.”

Hearing this, Lucia felt a lump in her throat and tears almost welled out.She had speculated about their attitude towards her going abroad.She wasn’t sure when she would return home.

After all, in her womb, a little new life was growing.She bit her lips and tried to keep her countenance.She took a deep breath and said, “Dad, mom.Don’t worry.I’ll take good care of myself, definitely…”

After a short silence, Bill said seriously and sincerely, “Good.Don’t suffer grievance of any kind out there…”

Elisa heaved a sigh and muttered, “You’re doing great at home.Why do you have to go abroad…”

Suddenly, the door of the ward was pushed open.

A tall figure appeared at the door.

The three of them all looked towards the door and found Paul, panting and anxious.

They were all confused by Paul’s sudden appearance.

Elisa asked, “Paul, you are…”

Paul took a deep breath to calm himself down.

Then, he looked at Lucia.

“Beg my pardon, Mr.and Mrs.Mitchell.I came for Lucia.There is something I need to talk to her.”

Lucia was also surprised.

After all, she had known Paul for so long and it was the first time she had seen him in such fluster.

Looking at Bill and Elisa, Lucia said, “Dad, mom, I’ll go out for a minute.”

Bill nodded.

“Go ahead.”

Lucia stepped out of the ward and closed the door.She then asked, “Paul, what is it? What happened?”

Paul held her wrist and led her aside.

“Follow me.”

Lucia felt his nervousness and was also uneasy.

Paul didn’t let her wrist go until they reached an exit passageway at the corner of the building.

Lucia took a deep breath.

She felt more nervous and confused.

“Paul, what on earth happened?”

Paul lowered his voice and answered, “I found something.It’s about the motorcycle accident that happened the other day.”

Lucia was stunned.She wanted to say something but her tongue twisted.

Paul took a step forward and said in a lower voice, “That’s no accident.Someone is behind all these.”

Hearing Paul’s words, what happened that day when she was in the middle of the road occurred to her.

At that time, she turned and saw the motorcycle accelerating and coming right toward her.

That motorcycle didn’t slow down a bit.

Apparently, she was aimed at by the driver.

Lucia unconsciously shuddered in fright.

She gritted her teeth and asked, “Who was that?”

Paul answered, “I asked my man to check the surveillance record.The man on the motorbike met a man named Mark Page before he tried to hit you.This Mark man is one of Jeanne’s bodyguards.”

Hearing this, Lucia shuddered violently as if she was suffering from an electric shock.

Unrelated details suddenly all became related.

Would it…all be Jeanne’s scheme? Lucia said with a shaky voice, “But she was also the one who saved me…”

Paul pondered for a while and asked, “At the accident, was August present?”

His words enlightened Lucia.

The motorbike wanted to run over her in the first place.

And Jeanne rushed over to save her because she saw August.

However, why would Jeanne find a hitman? Jeanne had had an engagement with August, which made Lucia not a threat to her anymore.

Unless Jeanne knew that she was pregnant!
