Chapter 258 The Perfect Opportunity to Frame Her Up
The atmosphere suddenly became embarrassing, but Jeanne was calm.She smiled shyly, turned around to look at Lucia, waved at her, and asked, "Is the coffee ready?"She liked coffee the best. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
Lucia came back to her senses, nodded, and walked over with her head down.
Putting down the tray, she slowly took down the pot and cups, smiled at them, and said, "Please enjoy the coffee."
Then, she turned around and walked out.
Staring after her, August felt a little unhappy.He had thought she would be upset, but unexpectedly, her mood was not affected at all.
After Lucia came out of the office and closed the door, her tensed body relaxed a bit.She gritted her teeth and felt the moisture in the corners of her eyes.
When she raised her hand to touch her eyes, she realized there were tears.
What happened to her? Why was she crying? She shook her head helplessly, quickly returned to her office, and closed the door.
Why couldn't she control her emotions? Her heart could not help racing every time August approached her.
When she had heard that he and Jeanne were about to get engaged, she couldn't help feeling distressed.
And just now, when she had seen Jeanne kissing him, her mind had gone blank, and she had even felt suffocated.
Sure enough, she cared about August.
To be precise, she had feelings for him.
Realizing this fact, Lucia lowered her head and covered her face with both hands.
Then, tears seeped between her fingers.
She had fallen in love with the man who she should not have any feelings for, so she couldn't imagine the pain in the future.
After half an hour, she slowly calmed down, wiped her eyes off with a wet towel, and pulled herself together.
Since she could fall in love with him, she could also forget him like Archibald.She used to like Archibald very much in college, but when she had met him again, she had no feelings for him anymore.
Thinking of this, she felt a lot more at ease.
Suddenly, the phone on the table rang, so she quickly picked it up and asked, "President Adams, what can I do for you?"He said in a deep voice on the phone, "Come to my office."
Lucia responded, hung up the phone, took a deep breath, and walked to his office.
When she pushed the door open and went in, Jeanne was still there.
She was standing beside the desk and chatting with August with a smile, beaming with joy.
Lucia instantly looked away from her, stepped forward, and asked, "President Adams, what can I do for you?"
"Send this document to the Flying Group.A manager named Eaton is waiting for you.You must hand the document to him in person."
Lucia responded, "Okay."
When Jeanne heard "the Flying Group", her expression changed slightly, and she couldn't help glancing at the yellow file bag from time to time.
Then, August opened a drawer, took out a car key, put it on the file bag, and said, "Drive the company's car.It is parked in the public area of the underground parking lot.
You will find it easily with the serial number"
"Yes, President Adams," Lucia responded, feeling a little surprised.
She had not expected him to let her drive the company's car to deliver the document.
And she guessed it must be particularly important and urgent.
As expected, August urged, "Hurry up.Go to deliver it right away."
Lucia nodded, picked up the car key and the document, turned around, and left the office.
Jeanne's eyes lit up when she suddenly thought of something.She chatted with August for a short while before she said, "Since you've finished lunch, you should take a rest.It's time for me to leave."
August nodded slightly, looked at her, and asked, "Do you need me to send you back?"
"No, thanks."
Jeanne smiled sweetly, quickly put the lunch box on the table into a bag, hugged him, and then left.
As soon as she walked out of the office, she accelerated her steps and walked toward the elevator.
Seeing Lucia still waiting for the elevator, she breathed a sigh of relief, stepped forward, and said, "Hi, Lucia."
Lucia turned around to look at her and said, "Hi, Ms.Kelly."
She hadn't expected Jeanne to leave so soon and had thought she would spend more time with August.
Jeanne said, "Are you going to the Flying Group? I'm going to Fonda Square.Can you give me a ride?"
Seeing Lucia's surprised look, she explained with a smile, "My driver left for an urgent matter and will come to pick me up after a while.I happen to want to buy something.You can just drop me off at Fonda Square."
Jeanne's request was reasonable, so Lucia had no reason to refuse.
Therefore, she nodded, "Okay."
When the elevator arrived and opened the doors, she quickly stepped up, so she did not see Jeanne's sneer.
After getting into the car, Lucia put the file bag on the passenger seat, slowly started the car, and drove out of the underground parking lot.
And Jeanne glanced at the file bag from time to time when chatting with her.
Halfway through the journey, Jeanne took out her mobile phone, sent a message out, and chuckled, "Lucia, let's go shopping together next time.I like the dress you chose for me very much."
Hearing this, Lucia responded with a smile, "Okay."
Jeanne's attitude toward her had somehow become very intimate as if they were friends who had known each other very well.
Lucia felt weird, but she did not ask about it.
When the car came to an intersection, a traffic police officer suddenly stopped her.
Lucia pulled over, lowered the window, looked at him in confusion, and asked, "Sir, is there anything wrong?"
"It is just a routine check.Please show me your driver's license."
When Lucia heard this, she knew she got in trouble.She barely drove, so she didn't bring her driver's license with her.
And she had not expected to be caught by a traffic police officer today Lucia took a deep breath, rummaged around in her bag, and then looked at the officer outside the window, not knowing what to do.
Jeanne in the backseat raised her eyebrows and suddenly asked, "Don't you bring your driver's license? Maybe you can show him the electronic driver's license on your phone.Get off the car and ask the officer whether it is OK."
When Lucia heard this, she didn't think much because she was panicked.She picked up her phone, pushed the door open, and got out of the car to explain to the officer.
As soon as he heard that Lucia didn't bring her driver's license with her, he began to criticize her with a gloomy face.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Jeanne took a deep breath, reached out to take the file bag on the passenger seat over, opened it, and pulled out the documents inside.
She had guessed right! It was the project planning for the cooperation between the Flying Group and the Lion Group! Although she did not know much about the cooperation, he knew what this document meant because she had been in the Kelly Group for a long time.
Besides, the news about the cooperation between the Lion group and the Flying Group had been spreading widely recently.
So, she had also heard something about it.
For her, this was a terrific opportunity to frame Lucia up! She immediately took out her phone, quickly took a photo of the document, stuffed it back inside, and then put the file bag back where it used to be before Lucia came back.
She knew it would harm the Lion group.
But as long as she could make August hate Lucia, she would never regret it!
