For The moment, everyone landed his or her gaze on Burton.
Paula was the most nervous one
August calmly raised the wine glass and took a sip He said, “What do you want to say?’
Paula clenched her hands tightly, her palms sweating profusely She fixed her eyes on Burtons mouth, and racked her brain to think of a
way to stop him
At this moment. Burton said. I want to ask for a leave.’
Then, he tumec to Paula and produced a smile "To spend some time with my girlfriend"
The word “girlfriend’ shocked Paula with blank mind
Seconds later, she suddenly came back to herself and denied, “Who is your girlfriend?"
Burton smiled at ease and answered with a question 'Is not”
When Paula met Burtons bright eyes, she felt her tongue twist
If she denied it, Burton might disclose her secret on that thing It was a blatant threat He said so in front of August on purpose’ Paula gnned her teeth, bui she couldn't speak a word to refute Burton She then turned to Lucia When she sav( the innocent smile on
Lucias face, she relented
She would have to accept whatever Burton said even if it was merely for Lucia
She gulped and nodded reluctantly as consent.
Seeing this, Burton smiled He wanted to lake Paulas hand, but, after hesitating, he restrained himself August showed a glimmer of amusement in his eyes. He said. Your leave is granted
Burton beamec at August and Lucia “Thanks I'll take my leave, then, President Adams.’
Then, he took Paulas hand and said excitedly. “Let me bring you to a place’
Paula was reluctant, and was somewhat dragged by Burton "Where"
Burton couldn't hide his joy while Paula looked abashed They looked like a couple who had just reconciled with each other after a quarrel, funny and cute.
Lucia looked at their retreating figures and produced a smile.
She could see that they still loved each other Burton, like a boy at the dawn of his love, would directly show his affection and love in his
eyes and on his face
Jealous”
The mans cold voice brought Lucia back to reality.
She gasped and looked at August “Whats wrong with that”
August raised his brows and asked as if he was sowing discard “What’ Paul couldn't give you the feeling of being loved”
His words made Lucia annoyed She rolled her eyes al August and said. None of your business’ Then, she gulped down the liquid in her glass She stood up and said word by word. Dinner is over Goodbye “ Then, she strode towards the gate
Paula and Burton had left Staying alone with August was the last thing she wanted to do Every sentence he uttered was powerful enough to prwoke the fire of rage in her heart
Before long, she heard footsteps from behind her Then, she heard August saying. “I Il give you a ride Lucia ielused, “Il)-lake the subway’
Then I can take it with you *
Lucia was stunned She turned to the man in disbelief as if he was a pig flying in the sky
August should have said that he would take the subway with her” She was wondering whether she should see an audiologist Seeing her eyes full of surprise. August produced a lamt smile and explained, 'l drank, and Burton has left No one can drive * Lucia understood
He never intends to send me home He just has no other choice
Lucia showed disdain in her eyes She just walked forward silently
However, the man said beside her "But. besides the subway, I have too many options.’
Lucia was surprised by his words
She didn't speak a word However, as if he had seen her through, lie should know everything she was thinking
This man is scary’
Lucia felt so nervous and subconsciously fastened her pace However. August was taller anti he could lake larger stops After a while, she
got out of her breath while August didnl seem tired
August chuckled at the woman He didnt make any sarcastic remarks but only operated his phone When they walked out of Ernie Plaza. Lucia intended to walk towards the metro station However, when she v/alked along the roadside, her
arms were grabbed by someone
Then, a black business car stopped steadily beside them
Lucia was pulled to the car door by August and she was sluffed into the car the next second
She was so shocked When she saw the man get in the car from the other side, her mind had already been filled with doubts

Before she could ask any question. August had already closed the door and said. “I think you're tired, so I summoned a chauffeur”
Lucia was stunned
Is August being considerate” Lucia fell somehow flattered. *
August told the chauffeur the address, and turned to Lucia His eyes showed a slight grin
Lucia felt uncomfortable being stared by him Frowned, she asked. “What is ip*
"Are you being optimistic about Burton and Paula?*
Lucia was surprised by August s jaw-dropping question He was never frivolous, but he should be gossiping now’
She considered for a while and nodded *1 am *

Lucia frowned "How do you know?*
He was so confident that he gave a feeling of a fortune teller
“Sixth sense *
Lucia sneered. “Good joke *
Mens six senses are never accurate
August raised his brows. He had a playfulness in hts eyes "Say. lets have a bet’*
“What's the chip’"
'A request.’
Lucia looked up at the man. who looked so serious, and felt u neon fi dent
God knows what request he will ask for if I lose But. if I win, will he give me the video” August had guessed what she was thinking when he saw her hesitance
He said softly, “If you win, I will accept whatever request you ask for’
Lucia was so nervous that she said in a hoarse voice. “Including that video .*
The man didnt hesitate to accept "Yes *
Lucia was delighted She look a deep breath and said, *Okay Deal"
