Chapter 053

After August tied their feet with a rope, Burton immediately went up and took the rope to tie their hands together again. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Lucia could clearly feel her female colleagues staring jealously straight at her.

When the back of her hand touched his, she unconsciously blushed.

Suddenly, a low voice rang in her ears, "Give me your hand."

Lucia froze, and the next, her hand was being held by August.

It was the first time August had held her hand in front of so many people! "Ah!"

The screams and discontent of the female colleagues next to her came over like a flood.

Lucia forced herself to resist the urge to laugh.

Looking at the red ropes tied to their hands, she was so happy that she was about to get dizzy Guy, the judge next to them, finally got tired of watching and picked up the loudspeaker, shouting, "All right.Everyone, get ready and the game is about to start!"

August looked down, glanced at the dazed woman, and said softly, "You follow my steps, okay?"

He doesn’t want to be first in everything.

As long as their team didn’t get punished for being the last three, it would be okay.

Lucia, a little confused, looked up and sluggishly answered, "Okay."

After adjusting their state, the crowd stood behind the starting line.

With Guy’s command of three, two, and one, the two-person teams moved forward quickly.

Lucia played similar games when she was in school, and she didn’t feel any difficulty before.

But when she took a step, she couldn’t help but fall forward.

Luckily, she was supported by August, so she didn’t fall.

August spoke softly, "No hurry."

Although he said so, when Lucia looked up and saw that some teams had rushed to the front, she was unconsciously anxious.

When she was in a hurry, her footsteps were naturally disrupted, plus August’s long legs and big steps, she almost fell.

August and she stopped a few times and as expected, they became the third from the bottom, so they had to accept the punishment The punishments included drinking a large glass of red wine in one gulp, an ice bucket challenge, and adventure.

Drawing lots would be needed to decide which punishment they would accept.

Lucia drew randomly but did not expect to draw the ice bucket challenge.

Looking down and glancing at the three words on the paper, August became depressed.

If the punishment was the ice bucket challenge, Lucia and he would be thrown a large bucket of water mixed with ice.

But 1 she just had a fever a few days ago and he was worried that she would not be able to stand the cold.

There were whispers from the female colleagues nearby, "Mr.Adams is going to be punished because of Lucia! She’s so stupid!"

"Yeah! I thought Mr.Adams would win, but I didn’t expect…"

When she heard this, Lucia felt a bit of remorse, because she did hold August back during the race just now.

August naturally also heard it, so he said seriously, "I alone bear the punishment this time because I took too big a step in the race and did not consider Lucia."

The crowd was stunned at these words, followed by various voices praising him.

"Gosh, Mr.Adams is so manly!"

August took off his jacket, leaving with only a short sleeve.

Then he instructed Burton to bring the ice bucket, which surprised Lucia.

Although it wasn’t cold, she also didn’t want him to be punished for herself.

That’s two whole buckets of ice water! She took a deep breath and immediately stepped forward, stopping Burton, "No, I should take the punishment with you."

At her words, August looked up at her and met her eyes.

For a moment, Lucia just felt at a loss for words After a moment, he averted his gaze and turned to look at Burton.

Burton understood and threw a bucket of ice water over him, which sent the crowd into an uproar.

August’s exposed wheat skin was red and he was wet through, short sleeves clinging to his body, which was really seductive.

Neyt Burton lifted another bucket.

Lucia couldn’t help but feel distressed when she watched Burton throw a second bucket of ice water at August.

Guy immediately took a dry towel and handed it to August.

Everyone was more or less serious because August was their boss and the president of Lion Group anyway.

Being splashed with two buckets of water in public, he would definitely feel very humiliated.

But August picked up a towel and wiped his face, then looked at the crowd, with a smile in his eyes, "Since I lost, I have to accept my punishment.You guys keep playing and I’ll go back to change my clothes."

The crowd laughed at these words and were relaxed again.

They didn’t expect the cold-faced president to have such a side.

Not only did he take responsibility as a gentleman and accept the punishment decently, but he was also able to impart a life lesson to everyone at the end, which made him very charming Watching August walk away, Lucia involuntarily smiled crookedly, and her heart was filled with warmth and sweetness.

"Hey! Lucia."

Emma ran over, poked Lucia with her elbow, and smiled ambiguously, "How does it feel to hold hands with Mr.Adams? Are you feeling very happy?"

Lucia smiled and hit her, "And you’re here to tease me?"

"No, I’m serious! You are now the envy of all female colleagues!"

"Hmph! Bullshit!"

An abrupt female voice suddenly came from beside her, shrill and sarcastic.

Lucia and Emma both froze, and when they turned their heads, they saw Irene who had come from the side.

Seeing her, Lucia scowled.

Irene glanced at her and coldly snorted, "Didn’t you hear what Mr.Adams just said? He’s married! What? Do you want to break Mr.Adams’s family and become a primary three!"

Emma couldn’t stand it anymore and spoke up for Lucia, "Your words are so terrible!"

Irene sneered and asked back, "Did I say who it was? Someone knew whom I was talking about.Don’t be so impatient!"

"You!"

Lucia reached out and pulled Emma to the side, "Come on, it’s not worth getting angry over that kind of person."

Besides, she knew very well what kind of relationship she had with August, so she wouldn’t be angry for being called a "primary three".

Emma said angrily, "She’s really annoying!"

Lucia laughed, "Let’s go to the restaurant and have something to eat?"

"Okay."

As soon as they talked about food, they were in a much better mood.

After telling the supervisor, they left the entertainment hall.

When they arrived at the restaurant, there were already a lot of people inside.

Lucia and Emma found a seat and ordered their food.

They had just been chatting for a while when Emma suddenly saw something and pointed in a direction in shock, "Lucia, look!"

Lucia turned her head in the direction Emma pointed and saw August and Adeline walking in through the restaurant door side by side.

They were not followed by their assistants and entourage and were talking about something while walking.

Adeline turned her head from time to time to look at the man at her side, smiling softly.

Lucia’s heart skipped a beat and then she felt a little depressed, so she looked away, her heart aching.

Emma was still staring at the two of them and couldn’t help but sigh, "So what Lisa and the others said today is true.Is it possible that Mr.Adams and Adeline are dating? But isn’t Mr.Adams already married… Listening to these words, Lucia subconsciously frowned.

She took a deep breath, totally in a mess.Could it be that there was really something else between August and Adeline?
