A Treat for You

Lucia paused before she quickly reacted and nodded. "Yes."

Jonathan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Then tell me why this latest collection has to have me as an

endorser?”

Lucia secretly breathed a sich of relict. She had thought about the answer to this question long before she came

here and had memorized it by heart. She fluently introduced the selling points of the new collection and its designer and then focused on why

Jonathan was the right endorser for the new collection.

Of course, she also mentioned the years when Jonathan had been trained abroad. Although Lucia was not

familiar with his concerts and whatnot, she had found out about his history of development. Therefore, she

talked about the points that Jonathan liked.

"That's why we want you to be an endorser, Mr. Black. If there's anything else you want to know, I can arrange

for someone to talk with you about the rest of it."

Jonathan curved his lips. Seeing that Suecy had already put band-aids on Lucia's wounds, he said lightly,

"What you said... is just average.” Lucia troze, a little surprised.

She felt that she had almost been moved by what she said just now, but she hadn't expected it to be average in

Jonathan's mind. “So, Mr. Black, do you have any interest in talking to the designer of Redeur?" Jonathan curved his lips in a smile, stretched himsell, and said, "I'll think about it.” With that, he turned to the driver up front and said, "Lewis, pull over to the curb, so she can get out of the

car."

Lucia froze and looked at Jonathan in surprise.

The driver quickly pulled the car to the curb. The assistant opened the door. Suecy picked up the placard next to

her and handed it to Lucia.

At that moment, Lucia was a bit confused.

It looked like she was being kicked out of the car.

She got out of the car with the large placard. When she turned around, she saw Jonathan smiling and waving at

her. "See you, my 'big fan'." Immediately after that, the door was closed and the car let.

Lucia hadn't expected it to end up like this. She looked around confusedly and found herself in the middle of

nowhere. It was so reinote that she didn't even see a subway entrance.

She was like a psychopath, left alone with such a large placed by Jonathan like this!

For a moment, slie was a little annoyed, 1101 expecting that it would be so hard or that Jonathan would be so

difficult.

She walked with the placard for quite a while and finally, there were more pedestrians on the roadside, but

everyone was looking at her in a strange way. Seeing that. Lucia wished that she could find a hole in the

ground to hide in.

Sheliad thought that Jonathan would be easy to speak with, but she had never imagined that he would be such

a condescending tormentor. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that he liad done it on purpose by

leaving her here. After walking for a long time, she finally found a subway entrance. Looking at the placard in her hands and the

trash can next to her, she resolutely decided to get rid of it! Before she left, she thought of the money she had spent on the placard. Feeling sorry for herself, she took a

picture of the placard with her phone and posted it on WhatsApp Moments with the text, "Goodbye!" Lucia usually didn't post much on WhatsApp Moments, but today she was really pissed off and did so on

impulsc. After all this, she put away her phone and went to the subway.

Meanwhile, August got into luis car in the underground gutage of the Lion Group. When he casually checked his

WhatsApp, he saw what Lucia had posted on her Moments,

Hetapped on the picture and unconsciously curved his lips when he saw the placard with Jonathan's picture in

it.

Without being told, he could guess that shie had gone to see Jonathan and from what she had written, he could

tell that things were not going well. Putting away his phone, he suddenly thought of something and asked Burton, "Did the restaurant that I went

to before move to Goldbridge.” Burton replied, "Yes, shall we go there?" "Hold on. I'll make a call.” With that, August took out his phone and called Lucia straight away. "Where are you?" Half an hour later, Lucia hurried to the restaurant that August had talked about. She went around a small courtyard before seeing it.

It was fair to say that it was a quaint place with a small bridge and water. She said the name of August and soon someone ushered her to a private room on the second floor. When the

door was opened, she found that it was also exquisitely decorated and chic. Once inside, Lucia was a little surprised to see August sitting there alone. Only after she sat down did she dare

to ask, "President Adams, didn't you say you wanted me to meet a man?" Hearing that, August poured her a cup of tea calmly, raised an eyebrow, and asked, "Aren't I a man?"

Lucia was slightly confused. It took hier a few seconds before she suddenly realized what was going on and

forced a smile with some embarrassment. "Yes..."

August put on a proper face and raised his eyes to look at hier. "I got you here to ask how you're doing at

work."

"I..." Lucia was speechless when she thought of what had happened today.

August paused as he picked up his cup of tea.lle looked up at her and asked, "What's wrong? Has anyone

bullied you?" Lucia took a deep breath. "Not really. It's just that it's harder than I thought it would be.” She started to explain in general terms how Jonathian wouldn't tell her his decision. Before she could finish, the

food had already come.

August looked at the woman who kept talking across the table. A smile appeared at the corners of his mouth

and he said softly, “Let's dig in."

Lucia replied and picked up her fork. She was still feeling a bit upset, but when she saw the dishes on the table,

most of her displeasure dissipated.

Looking at the woman's shining eyes, August said in a slow voice, "Go ahead. It's a treat for you today.” Lucia was delighted and immediately began to focus on cating. At the end of the meal, Lucia was full and she felt a lot better. After a few words, August stood up. "I'll take you home." Lucia wanted to decline, but once she thought of the long distance to her small apartment, she simply agreed.

They came out of the private room. As they went down the stairs, Lucia bent her knees and felt pain from the

wounds at once. She frowned and moved a little slowly. Next to her, August noticed something was wrong. Wlien lie saw the wounds on her legs, his expression

suddenly became more serious. "What happened?” Lucia paused and then hurriedly said, "It's okay." With that, she was about to go downstairs quickly, but unexpectedly the next second, August reached out his

hand and grabbed her straight away. The next thing she knew, August bent over and picked her up directly. It happened so suddenly that Lucia cried out in surprise. Looking at the stairs below, she unconsciously

wrapped her arms around August's neck. When they got downstairs, the customers at the tables there were all looking at them. Lucia was a bit bashful

and instantly turned her face away. Finally, they got into the car and Lucia was put down. The door was closed. It was a little dim in the car. August leaned closer to her. "Lucia, how did you get wounded? Are you still not going to tell me?" In the closed space, Lucia could clearly feel how powerful the man was. She took a deep breath, gritted her

teeth, and said, "I accidentally fell.”

"Really?" August apparently didn't believe it. He raised his hand to lift her chin. "You're not going to tell me

the truth?”

He hadn't expected that she would be so careless. It had only been an afternoon and she had bruised both her

legs.

Lucia moved her lips and nodded. As she looked at the mail's chin that was close to her and smelled the faint

fragrance from him, her heart was suddenly pounding. The atmosphere in the car was ambiguous and the two of them were close to each other. Slowly, they got closer

little by little...

Just at this point, the phone rang abruptly, breaking the atmosphere right away.
