Chapter 226 Why Are You So Nosy?
Lucia went back to the Administration Department, feeling worried all the way.
If August was not there, then she couldn't apply for leave.
If she delayed, she didn't know whether her father's operation would be delayed.She held her phone.
After much hesitation, she did not make a call.
At this moment, someone knocked on the door of the office, and then a colleague pushed open the door and said, "Ms.Mitchell, someone is asking to see you outside."
Lucia came to her sense, smiled, and thanked her colleague before she got up and walked out.
Someone was here to see her at this time.
Who could it be? Walking out of the Administration Department, she saw a man standing outside.
When the man saw her, he stepped forward first and said, "Hello, are you Lucia Mitchell?"
Lucia paused and nodded, "I am."
"It was someone from the President's Office who asked me to bring a message.They said that Mr.Adams had something to tell you and asked you to come with me."
"Mr.Adams?"
Lucia was a little surprised.
She went to the President's Office ten minutes ago and Mary clearly said that August was not in the company and maybe he wouldn't come back today.
How could he suddenly come back at this time? The man nodded and said in a serious tone, "Mr.Adams came back to get something.When he heard that you went to the President's Office to see him, he said he could see you by the way.Now he is waiting for you in the underground parking lot."
After Lucia heard his words, the doubts in her heart dissipated a little.She nodded, and her eyes swept over the name tag on August's chest, Nolan Vermon.
They were employees of the same company.
She didn't think much and said, "Well, thank you."
"You're welcome."
Nolan smiled and walked to the front to lead the way.
Lucia followed him and took the elevator directly to the underground parking lot.
When they arrived at the ground floor, as the elevator door slowly opened, Lucia stepped out and glanced around.
She didn't see August or his car in the huge underground parking lot.She slowed down and waited for Nolan to follow.
Before she turned her head, she heard footsteps coming from behind her, and then someone suddenly hit the back of her head.
The scene in front of her seemed to be still for two seconds, and then everything went dark.She instantly lost consciousness.
Nolan's eyes were cold.
Seeing that Lucia was about to fall, he stepped forward, caught her from behind, and dragged her towards an inconspicuous car nearby...
After a while, Lucia only felt a tingling pain in her head, and her whole body felt numb.
In a daze, she opened her eyes, and only then did she realize that she was tied up in the back of a car.She couldn't move and felt stiff all over.
Didn't she go to the underground parking lot to see August? What happened? The dull smell in the car made her feel sick.
She looked at the front of the car and saw no one there, but there was a dagger in the passenger seat.
Lucia felt a chill down her spine.She was more awake and calm at the same time.She turned her head and looked out the window.
The scene outside didn't look like the city.
It was desolate and no tall buildings could be seen.
Was she kidnapped? At this moment, the front car door was pulled open and a man came up.
When he raised his head and saw her waking up, he smiled coldly.
Lucia was startled, and the voice from her dry throat was hoarse, "Nolan! You..."
Nolan sneered, and his eyes were terrifying.
Instead of getting in the car, he closed the front door and walked directly towards the back.
It sent a chill down her spine.
She was sweating on her back.
Seeing him open the car door, she gritted her teeth and pretended to be calm, "What do you want to do?"
"What do you think I want to do?"
Nolan got into the car with a sneer and shoved her to the side.
Lucia was tied up with ropes.
It was so stiff that she couldn't bend.
Her head hit the car door unexpectedly, and she frowned in pain.
"You ruined my plan!"
Nolan stared at her with cold and sharp eyes, "If it weren't for you, I would have left with money now!"
Lucia was confused and didn't understand what he was talking about.
Seeing her confusion and surprise, Nolan sneered, grabbed her hair, and pulled her towards him fiercely, "If you hadn't run to stop August's car, he would have died long ago.You ruined my plan.Because of you, I didn't receive the final payment and I've been targeted by his men! Lucia, why are you so nosy?!"
Her scalp tingled, and she was about to burst into tears in pain.
Listening to the crazy man roaring in her ear, she suddenly thought of the day she had overheard a man talking on the phone on the stairs.
The voice of the man was very low.
But when she recalled it carefully, she found it was indeed Nolan's voice! It was him! It turned out that he had tampered with August's car, and wanted to kill or disable him! At this moment, she knew exactly what had happened! Lucia gritted her teeth and looked up at him, "Nolan, you can't escape!"
Her words instantly angered Nolan.
He slapped her hard in the face!
"Bitch!"
Nolan glared at her angrily and gritted his teeth, "You think I will be scared? Don't you know August very well? You risked your life to save him.I'll see if he will risk his life to save you!"
He loosened her hair and shoved her aside.
Then, he took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, lit one cigarette, and took a drag.He calmed down a little and said, "I worked so hard, but I didn’t get the money, and I was targeted by August.But it doesn't matter.No big deal.If I go down, I will drag you down with you! And you are my bargaining chip!"
He seemed to be talking to himself.
After saying it, he sneered, raised his eyes, and glanced at Lucia, "As long as he will let me go, I won't hurt you.But if he won't let me go, then I will kill you!"
When he said this, Nolan smiled coldly.
Lucia looked away, and she felt so worried.
After a moment, she suddenly thought of something.She took a deep breath, glanced at Nolan, and said coldly, "It's useless for you to catch me.I'm not familiar with him.He might not come to save me."
Nolan took a long drag on his cigarette with suspicion in his eyes and snorted without saying a word.He didn't believe it.
Lucia took a deep breath, gritted her teeth, and pretended to be calm, "I don't need to lie to you.I ran over to stop his car because I went to him to take credit and asked him to give me a raise.I overheard you call, but it was just an accident, nothing else."
Seeing Nolan's cold face and silence, Lucia glanced at him tentatively and continued, "Believe it or not.Anyway, no matter how long you wait, he won't come."
Seeing Lucia's resolute face and serious attitude, as if she was seriously elaborating on the facts, Nolan suddenly felt less confident. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
He glanced at Lucia and gritted his teeth secretly, "Don't try to play tricks!"
With that, he took a piece of cloth from the side, kneaded it into a ball, squeezed Lucia's chin, and stuffed it inside.
Lucia felt disgusted by the musty and damp smell.
She ducked to the side, unwilling to cooperate.
Nolan was so annoyed.He shoved it a few times, but couldn't put it in.He raised his hand angrily and slapped Lucia in the face!
