Chapter 197 Her Way Of Apologizing Was Childish

Lucia buried her head low and didn't dare to raise her head anymore.She picked up her pen and started writing and drawing on the paper to cover her panic.

After a while, Lucia breathed a sigh of relief when she heard August start to assign work.She was frightened during the meeting.

Halfway through the meeting, Lucia gradually relaxed a little bit.She glanced at the post-it note next to her.She felt a little bored, so she picked up her pen and sketched a kitten on it.She added, "Don't be angry."

This was an essay comic she had accidentally read on her phone yesterday.

She thought it was interesting, so she copied it from memory and drew several pictures in succession before she stopped.

Looking up again, she found the meeting coming to an end.

August told Burton, "Collect the work reports of each department." All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

When Burton heard this, he nodded in response.

Lucia looked up and saw Burton walking towards her.She hurriedly closed the report and handed it over.

It seemed that because the meeting was about to end, everyone relaxed a little.

They took advantage of the interval and chatted in a low voice.

At this moment, Carter leaned in, looked at Lucia, and whispered, "Good job."

When Lucia heard this, she smiled shyly and replied softly, "Thanks."

Sitting at the head of the conference table, August raised his eyes and saw Lucia's smile.He couldn't help frowning.

Yesterday she had beat him up.

Today she was smiling and chatting as if nothing had happened.He suppressed the unhappiness in his heart.

He took a stack of report papers sent by Burton, picked them up, and flipped through them. After listening to the reports from various departments just now, he already knew what he needed to know.

Now he was reading it again to ensure that there were no omissions and mistakes.

After flipping through several reports, he glanced down and saw that the organizer of the Administrative Department's report was "Lucia Mitchell".

His eyes darkened, and he picked up the document and read it.

As soon as he opened it, the first thing that caught his eye was a post-it note with a cartoon kitten outlined with a black ink pen, with a sentence attached beside it, "Don't be angry."

August's dark eyes suddenly froze.

After a few seconds, he unconsciously frowned.

What was she doing? She was apologizing to him in this way? This was a bit too simple and childish.

What was the matter with her obvious childish apology? Two seconds later, he raised his hand and continued to flip through the documents.

After flipping it a few times, he put down the report.He raised his eyes, and his eyes were deep and cold.He swept towards the crowd.

When he looked at them like this, everyone thought that something had happened, and they all became nervous and held their breath.

"The report of some department is not sincere."

With that, August got up and walked out with a cold face.

Burton paused, immediately picked up the report on the table, and said "the meeting is over" before he quickly walked out.

The people in the room looked at each other.

No one had expected that August would suddenly lose his temper at the end of the meeting.

"What's going on?"

"Who knows..."

All kinds of discussions were mixed, and the voices were getting louder and louder.

Lucia was also a little confused.

She looked around, looked at Carter, and asked, "Carter, what's wrong?"

Carter shrugged, "Maybe some department's report is not up to standard."

When Lucia heard this, she didn't think much about it.She packed her things and went back to the Administration Department with Carter.

"Mr.Adams, what's wrong?"

Burton followed August back to the President's Office and asked tentatively.

August didn't speak.He looked up at the stack of report papers Burton was holding, raised his chin slightly, and said, "Bring them here."

Burton delivered them immediately.

"You can leave."

After glancing at the documents in front of him, August ordered coldly.

"Yes."

After Burton left and the door closed, August picked up Lucia's report and opened it again.

On the yellow post-it note, the kitten was quite ordinary, ugly, and cute, a bit silly.It looked a bit like her.

When this thought popped into his mind, August couldn't help smiling.

He tore off the post-it note and pasted it on the pen holder next to the computer.

When he saw this kitten drawing, he somehow felt less angry.

After a busy day of work, Lucia stood up and stretched herself.

She had finished all the work at hand on Friday afternoon.

It meant that she could have a fairly comfortable weekend.

During this period, she had been ei:her working overtime or taking on projects.

She had been so busy working and it was a rare chance to relax.

Tomorrow, she would go to the hospital to visit her parents and then contact Dr.Long to discuss the specific operation time.

Although she hadn't collected enough money for the operation, her father's operation couldn't be delayed any longer.

She decided to set the operation time first, and she would find a way to collect the remaining money.

Back at the apartment, Lucia took a hot shower.

As soon as she dried her hair and walked out of the bathroom, she saw the screen of her phone at the end of the bed flickering.

She walked over, picked up her phone, and saw that it was Grandma.

Thinking of the last time she and Grandma met, she realized it had been a while.

Grandma suddenly called her at this time.

Was there something wrong? Lucia didn't dare to neglect, and immediately answered the phone, "Hello, Grandma."

"Hey, Lucia, it's me.How have you been?"

Hearing that familiar voice, Lucia smiled and asked, "I'm fine, Grandma.What about you?"

When she asked this question, there was a sudden pause on the other end of the phone.

Grandma didn't speak but sighed heavily.

When Lucia heard this, she quickly asked, "Grandma, what's the matter with you?"

"It's alright.My health has not been very good recently, and it took a while for the doctor to condition.It has just gotten better."

Lucia was a little surprised, "Are you feeling better now? I didn't even know about this..."

"Well, I didn't let August tell you.I'm feeling much better now.I've been living in a nursing home for a while, and I just got back.Lucia, do you have time tomorrow? I want to go out and get some fresh air and take a walk in the Ecological Garden.Can you come with me?"

Hearing what Grandma said, Lucia bit her lips and hesitated.She was planning to go to the hospital to visit her parents tomorrow, but she couldn't bear to refuse her.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Grandma sensed something sensitively and asked, "Lucia, is it not convenient for you?"

Lucia came to her sense.

Thinking of what had happened yesterday, she hesitated again.

She had hit August yesterday, and she felt apologetic to him.

Now his grandmother wanted to see her.

How could she refuse? Forget it.

She'd better agree.It was a way to apologize to August after all.

"Grandma, I'm free.The weather seems fine tomorrow, and it's suitable to go out for a walk.When and where will we meet?"

When Grandma heard Lucia agree, she immediately smiled and said, "Okay, great.Let's meet at the entrance of the Ecological Garden at nine o'clock in the morning."

"OK."

Lucia hung up the phone, but her mood was a little complicated.She had decided to draw a line between August and the Adams family.

But now it seemed that it was difficult to do so.She was going to see Grandma this time as an apology to August.
