Chapter303 She was only a Substitute? 

 

Standing beside the flower beds in the nigh breeze, August was in front of his car. Bein, a bit tipsy, he tried to 

steady himself by leaning against the car languorously while squinting at the direction of the stairs. He 

actually couldn't account for his behavior now. 

He had been drinking with Joshua in Perfect Fortune just how to dissipate the r:loominess in his heart. Yet 

Lucia's face kept floating into his mind, making: liim even more upset. lletlius kept on drinking, and was a bit 

drunken when he eventually left Perfect Fortune, Burton was to send him home, yet he just gave him the 

address of Lucia without much thinking, probably because he was already unable to think. 

The sound activated lights on the ground floor was lit before long, and Lucia appeared some seconds later. 

Wearing a long ivory overcoat which got her white and spidery legs exposed outside, she ran towards him like 

a butterfly, her hair floating in the air. Feeling a crush in his heart, August just couldn't take his eyes off her.

the matter." Looking down at the bottle, August got his eyes fixed on her thin wrist. "I'm sorry I wasn't helping today." he muttered after a moment's silence. He'd promised her in his office that he would keep her safe, yet in the end 

he wasn't the one who managed to help her out. Lucia paused for some seconds before she finally grasped what he meant. "It's OK. It's gone now." said she
