Chapter 040

Right at the end of the day, Lucla packed up her things and was ready to go home,

However, just as she was about to leave, she was stopped by Lisa at the door of her office, Lisa glanced at the bag in her hand and raised an eyebrow “Ready to go now?”

Lucia looked at the clock on the wall. “It’s the end of the day”

Lucia refused to give in and said word by word, “I have plans today, so I really can’t do it. If you have a problem with me, let’s go and talk with Carter together tomorrow.”

Lucia was on equal footing with Lisa. She wouldn’t say anything if Lisa assigned her tasks during work hours, but now it was after hours, so she didn’t have to go along with her on everything. With those words, Lucia walked out of the office and left Lisa alone, who stood there rolling her eyes. She left the company in a hurry, only to get caught up in the rush hour. By the time she got home, August had already come back from his busy day outside.

As soon as she entered the door, she saw Turner placing the tableware.

“Dinner will be ready soon, Madam. Please wash your hands and tell Mr. Adams to come down for dinner.”
