Chapter 150

On the way from the lobby to the elevator and then to the floor where her room was located, Lucia had been looking for a chance to escape from August, but he seemed to know what she was thinking and didn’t give her any chance at all.

As they walked by her room, Lucia moved slower and slower, using her limited strength to fight against him.

She gritted her teeth and mustered up the courage to say, "Mr.Adams, I have to get up early tomorrow morning to go on a study tour with my colleagues..."

She was suggesting that he should let her go.

Hearing that, August raised his eyebrows and looked at her with his deep eyes, asking rhetorically, "What does it have to do with me?"

"You..."

Lucia was so angry that she gritted her teeth and stomped her foot, regretting beyond words what she had just done.

Why had she been so hot-headed as to provoke him back then? Being a bit annoyed, she simply asked, "So what do you want?"

"What do you think? Didn't you say I couldn't stand loneliness?"

August deliberately said that ambiguously, making her imagine things.

Watching the woman as her cheeks gradually flushed red, he felt a touch of amusement in his heart.

Just now at the entrance of the hotel, she had taunted him with her sharp tongue, like a little feral cat.

He had to teach her a lesson, or she would get even bolder, wouldn't she? The corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and his grip on her shoulder tightened slightly as he pushed her onward.

Lucia grimaced and she finally began to feel worried.

If she was really pulled into his room, she was afraid that something would happen.

But the more worried she was, the more her mind went blank and she couldn't think of any way out.

She was somewhat pushed by August to the corner of the corridor.

As soon as they went around the corner, Lucia saw a man in a steel gray suit standing outside the door of a room.

The man was tall and well-built, with short hair.

He looked bright and handsome, but his eyes were piercing and sharp.

He turned to look at them and when he saw August, a smile flickered in his eyes.

Then, he shifted his gaze and eyed Lucia, who was beside August, in a meaningful way.

Before Lucia could react, the man had already raised his eyebrows and walked up to them.

"August, you are so philandering.You asked me out and made me wait for such a long time, but now you have brought back a girl.What are you doing?"

The man smirked and asked in a teasing tone as he kept glancing at Lucia.

Hearing his tone of voice, Lucia knew instantly in her mind that August had an appointment.She thought that she could get away now.She felt glad in her heart and quickly turned to August.

August looked as cold as ever.

After a glance at Joshua, he casually fished his room card out of his pocket and threw it to the man.

"You can go in first."

Joshua looked at them knowingly.

He curved his lips in a meaningful smile and promptly said, "Okay, be quick.I'll wait for you."

With that, he didn’t forget to give August a wink before he opened the door with the card and entered the room with a smile.

August ignored what he implied.

When the door was closed, he turned around to look at Lucia.

Lucia took a deep breath and quickly whispered, "If you have something to do, I'll leave you alone..."

With that, she tried to break away from his arm.

However, August was using so much strength that his arm was as stiff as a post.

She couldn't even push it away or break free.

Lucia’s face was red with anger.

Just as she was about to argue with him, August suddenly leaned down and came closer to her.

The distance between them suddenly closed, but Lucia was not prepared for it at all.

Watching as his impeccably handsome face got closer and closer to hers, she felt her heart pounding even faster.

Seeing the flicker of panic and nervousness in the woman's eyes, August curled his lips, looking happy, and said unhurriedly in a low voice, "Let’s do it next time."

There was plenty of time for that later, so he could wait.

After saying that, he slowly loosened his grip on Lucia’s shoulder.

Lucia secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but her body was still tense as she hastily said, "It’s getting late.

I'll leave now."

Having said that, she immediately turned around without looking at August's face and trotted quickly toward her room. C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

August watched the timid woman from behind.

An imperceptible smile flickered in his eyes as his lips parted slightly.

Then, he turned to walk to the door of his room and opened it to get in.

When the door was opened, August saw Joshua leaning back lazily on the couch as if in his room.

Seeing August walk in, Joshua raised an eyebrow, laughing and joking, "Already? Your stamina is so..."

August gave him a sullen glance, forcing him to swallow the rest of his words.

August walked over and said in a deep voice as he sat down opposite Joshua, "Let's get down to business."

Joshua's face changed instantly when it came to business.

He stopped teasing and laughing all at once and put on a stern and grim face instead.

"What we know for sure now is that Ted is in Bearlin.He is quite close to the local villain called K.I had my men go and scout around, but they only found some minions, not their lair yet."

Hearing that, August looked out the window into the darkness of the night with his deep eyes and said quietly, "The rest will be easy if we are sure Ted is in Bearlin.

Go and find out more about his whereabouts, mainly in places like casinos, nightclubs, and bars.

Ted can't stand loneliness.

He would surely come out for fun in the city."

Joshua nodded and said, "Okay, I get it."

After a long silence, August narrowed his eyes and asked, "Did Charlotte find anything suspicious?"

Joshua answered truthfully, "No.Shall we continue to watch that guy?"

"Yes."

As August spoke, his eyes darkened.

He knew very well that Ted had unnoticeably disappeared under his nose and escaped from Cannada to Bearlin because someone was helping Ted secretly.He had come here not only to capture Ted but also to find out if Ted had any other accomplices.

Ted had done a lot of dirty things, using the subsidiary as a front, and even tried to drag the Lion Group into the mire.

How could August let him off so easily? When he snapped out of his thoughts, August turned to give Joshua a cold glance and said in a deep voice, "You can go back if there's nothing else."

Hearing that, Joshua seemed a little unhappy.

With his right leg over his left one, he said lazily, "You're kicking me out now?"

August stared at him coldly, "Why not? You want to stay here?"

Joshua chuckled, with no intention to leave.

Instead, he shifted into a more comfortable position and said in a teasing tone, "August, you've changed a lot recently."

August said nothing when he heard that.

He just reached out and unbuttoned his shirt at the wrists.

Seeing that he didn’t say anything, Joshua boldly continued to ask, "You have kept your distance from women, haven't you? Why do you want a woman now?"

Joshua knew that August seldom had a woman around and never got fresh with one, but today, he saw a real eye-opener.

August knew exactly what he meant.

He stood up and stared at him condescendingly.

"Do you want me to throw you out with my own hands, Joshua?"

It had been a while since they saw each other last time and Joshua was much cheekier now.
