Chapter 278 We're Not Boyfriends and Girlfriends

Lucia paused and turned to look at him.

August slightly raised his eyebrows, glanced at the table, and cleared his throat lightly, "Since you're here, let's eat together."

Lucia also looked over and saw the large piles of lunch boxes on the table, exuding bursts of aroma.Her stomach growled uncontrollably.She blushed and didn't know whether to agree or not.

When she looked up and saw August's black eyes, she had to bite the bullet and agree.

Joshua was leaning against the wall and looking at them with interest.He coughed lightly, and joked with a smile, "August, you are cold-faced but warm-hearted.You specifically asked me to buy more food.Didn't you want to..."

Before he could finish his sentence, August glanced at him coldly.He immediately shut up and winked at him meaningfully.

August frowned and said, "You go out."

"August, you are ruthless..." Joshua said with a smile.

Although he was unhappy, he still walked out.

When the door of the ward closed, the room was quiet for a moment.

Seeing August put a clean fork aside, Lucia took a deep breath, walked to his side, sat down, and started eating.

Perhaps because of what Joshua had said just now, Lucia somehow felt a little embarrassed.She lowered her head to eat and didn't look up for a long time.

August took a few bites and realized that something was wrong with Lucia.He frowned, looked up at her, and smiled unconsciously.He had never seen such a silly girl, who only focused on one dish.Her face blushed.It seemed she was embarrassed or shy.

"Lucia," August raised his eyebrows, "Why don't you eat other dishes?"

Hearing his words, Lucia raised her head and said, "...I'm eating."

Then she symbolically picked up a piece of green vegetable and put it into her mouth.

August chuckled softly, and the coldness on his face suddenly dissipated a lot.

Lucia was confused, "What are you laughing at? What's wrong with me?"

She didn't know what was going on.

August suddenly stretched out his hand and lifted her chin slightly with his slender and beautiful hand.His thumb lightly brushed over her mouth, taking a grain of rice from the corner of her lips.

The next second, he said, "You're certainly not an elegant eater."

With that, he retracted his hand.

At that moment, Lucia only felt that her face was burning hot.

It was so embarrassing! Two seconds later, she suddenly came to her sense, quickly put down the lunch box, and rummaged for a paper napkin in her pocket.

At this moment, August said with a little chuckle, "Here it is."

He took out a paper napkin and handed it over to her.

Before she took it, there came a knock on the door.

Then someone walked in and it was the nurse who had treated their wounds today. NôvelDrama.Org © content.

"I'm here to check on you."

When she saw the scene in the room, she immediately put on a faint smile and said half-jokingly, "I wondered why I didn't see anyone in the ward next door.It turns out you're with your boyfriend!"

She winked at Lucia, "Well, I will leave you alone."

Lucia’s face flushed, and she took a deep breath, "We...we're not boyfriend and girlfriend."

The nurse was stunned as if she hadn't expected it.

After being stunned for two seconds, she smiled dryly, "Well...I'm sorry, I thought..."

Lucia forced a smile and said, "It's okay."

The nurse's eyes suddenly became a little complicated.She smiled awkwardly and walked out of the ward quickly.

Lucia secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

August would be unhappy when others mistakenly thought she had something to do with him.

As soon as she turned her head, she saw that his face was a little gloomy.

She took a deep breath and said, "I explained it to her just now.I think she wouldn't say it again next time."

But hearing her explanation, August became even gloomier.

Without saying a word, he picked up the cup next to him, took a sip, and didn't reply.

Seeing his sudden change of face, Lucia, though confused, didn't dare to ask.So she had to speed up to finish the food in her hand.

It seemed that the atmosphere in the room became much colder because of this episode.

Lucia quickly finished the food and wiped her mouth, "I'm done.Well, I'll go back first."

Seeing that August didn't say anything, Lucia turned around to leave.

But just as she turned around to walk, he suddenly grabbed her wrist.

August said coldly, "From now on, in the hospital, you have to come here for three meals a day."

Lucia was surprised, "Why?"

What kind of rule was this? August said lightly, "Oh, nothing.You blocked the whip for me, and I can afford your meals."

Then he let go.

After Lucia left, Joshua came back.

He stood at the end of the bed, and smiled meaningfully, "August, I've never seen you like this."

"Do you have anything other than gossip in your mind?"

August raised his eyes, glanced at him, and said with a serious face, "How is Charlotte doing?’

"He's monitoring those small potatoes.Their whereabouts are very suspicious recently.We don't know what they will do."

August's voice became a little deeper, "Keep monitoring them.I don't need to explain what you should do next, right?"

Joshua played with the lighter in his hand, and reminded in a low voice, "Oh, you'd better be careful yourself.Your father came back this time.I'm afraid it's not just the company's accident.Pay more attention to him and Bishop."

August's eyes became more serious and he said, "I understand."

He knew very well that if his powers in the Adams Group were divided, he would not be able to do many things so easily in the future.

There was also Bishop.

August knew long ago that he had been coveting the position of vice president of the company for a long time.

But even if Bishop tried to find a way to take the position, he wouldn't be afraid.

After a moment, Joshua suddenly leaned over and asked, "Let me ask you one more thing.

About the disclosure of your company's proposal, does it have nothing to do with Lucia?"

After hesitating for two seconds, August denied it coldly, "It's not her."

Based on his instinct, he thought it wasn't her.

As for the other person, maybe it was a possibility.

"Okay, as long as you know what you're doing.I'm going.Call me if you need anything."

Joshua glanced out the window and said, "It is said that it will rain heavily tonight.I wonder if it's true or not.Bye."

August nodded slightly and watched him leave.He happened to see his phone screen flashing on the side, and found it was Jeanne calling.He turned off the screen and didn't answer.

On the other end of the phone, Jeanne watched as it hung up on its own and felt a little angry.She didn't think much about it.She rushed to the kitchen immediately, packed some soup, and hurried to the Adams' old house.

August had neither replied to her messages nor answered her calls.She was going crazy! Recently, August's attitude towards her had not been as good as before.

Did he know what she had done? Thinking of this, she felt even more anxious, and hurriedly urged Mark, who was driving, "Hurry up!"

She had to be vigilant all the time recently.

Otherwise, if Lucia took advantage of it and stole August, she definitely would regret it a lot!
