Chapter 034

Thinking of that, Lucia felt a little guilty.

August had clearly told her to take a good rest in the hospital before he left, and she had promised to do so. But now she was out of the hospital without telling him. It was hardly justifiable.

Seeing that she didn’t answer the phone for a while, Bennett, who was sitting across from her, couldn’t help but laugh and say, “Why don’t you answer it. Lucia?”

Lucia’s hand shook and hung up accidentally. “Well, never mind. It’s a nuisance call.” With that, she hurriedly put the phone away and smiled at Bennett. ”Mr. Martin, I’d like to confirm again the

requirements for the gift boxes this time...”

Meanwhile, on the top floor of the Lion Tower, August was sitting in his bright office. He looked at his phone

after Lucia hung up on him and couldn’t help but frown.

This woman was bold enough to hang up on him again and again! Her allergies hadn’t gone yet and she dared

to run away from the hospital. He should really teach her a lesson!

“Ah-choo!” Lucia sneezed unawares. She rubbed her nose, wondering.

Was August cursing her?

She shook the strange idea out of her head before she stood up and looked at Bennett’s assistant. “Shall we go then?”

Bennett had other appointments, so he told his assistant to take Lucia to the factory to see the samples of the gift boxes made according to her requirements. If there were no major problems, they would start mass production Once the production started, it wouldn’t take long for these holiday gift boxes to be in place. They would

definitely be ready before the holiday. Then, her first job as an assistant would be completed successfully. The conditions in the production plant were not as good as those in the company after all. After they got there, Lucia felt extremely uncomfortable when she walked with the assistant around the roaring operation room. Her allergies had not yet completely healed, and her skin was exposed to the factory air and dust, so she naturally did not feel comfortable. Lucia left the factory after checking the gift box samples and making sure there was nothing wrong with them.

She had been busy all afternoon and was so hungry that she couldn’t make it home for dinner. She ate a bowl of hot noodles at a nearby restaurant before taking the car home.

As soon as she came in, she saw Turner waiting for her in the living room.

“You’re finally back, Madam.”

Lucia asked, “What’s wrong?” Turner told her in a low voice, “Mr. Adams is home. He asked where you were as soon as he got back, and
