Submit to the Boss He Rules the Boardroom and the Bedroom

Chapter 74

Seeing she didn't say anything for a long time, Mrs.Mitchell looked up at her, "Do you hear me?"

Lucia took a deep breath and said softly, "Mom, I still think I have to tell him the truth.

If all of us are keeping the truth from each other, what's the point of going on a blind date."

At that, Mrs.Mitchell sighed, "I'm afraid you'll be bullied!"

It was not long, but she had been married after all.

Lucia smiled crookedly at her, "Mom, don't worry and I won't be like what I was before."

She was so stupid before and she didn't even know what was going on when she was being used.

"Well, forget it and it's time for you to go."

Not wanting to talk about the past, Mrs.Mitchell picked up her handbag and handed it to her.

Lucia glanced at the time, smiled crookedly, and went out.

After looking at the address on her phone, Lucia called a taxi and went directly to the coffee shop, Blue Mountain Coffee, they had arranged.

Lucia walked to the door and for some reason, August's face suddenly flashed in her mind, as if time had shifted back to the moment when they met first.

Could it be that her flash marriage to August had left a dating shadow on her? Lucia smiled bitterly and shook his head helplessly.

After adjusting her state, she pushed open the door of the coffee shop and walked in.

The coffee shop had a nice ambiance, with teal booths and brown wooden tables.

After taking a fast look around, she found that most of the customers had company.

Only in the window seat sat a man, handsome, gentle.

Seemingly sensing her gaze, the man also looked up at her.

The moment when their eyes met, the man smiled crookedly at her.

Could it...

be him? Lucia was a little unsure, but out of courtesy, she stepped forward and smiled at him, "Excuse me, are you Mr.Thomas?"

The man stood up, his eyes filled with smiles, "Miss.

Mitchell?"

Lucia nodded at her, "Yes.

Hello."

The man stepped forward and offered his hand, "Hello, I'm Paul."

Hearing this name, Lucia unconsciously froze.

His name sounded familiar and she seemed to have heard of it somewhere.

After the two sat down and exchanged greetings, Paul immediately called the waiter and asked Lucia to order.

'A cup of mocha, please."

Lucia smiled and had a few more good impressions of the modest and polite man in front of her.

Looking at Lucia, Paul smiled crookedly and whispered, "Ms.

Mitchell, I think we've met somewhere before.

Do you remember? Lucia first froze, and then reacted.

Wasn't what he said just a lyric? Could it be that he said that to alleviate the awkward atmosphere? Lucia smiled and said softly, "I think your name sounds a little familiar, and my best friend's name is very similar to yours."

"Really?"

Paul raised an eyebrow, his eyes shining, "What's her name? Maybe I know her?"

"Her name is Paula Thomas.

Isn't it a coincidence that your names are different in only one word?"

Hearing the name, Paul glanced at Lucia and smiled more happily.

Looking at his expression, Lucia was a little surprised, "What's wrong? Do you really know her?"

Paul lifted his cup and took a sip of coffee, smiling, "Would you believe me if I said she was my sister?"

"What?"

Lucia was surprised, then thought carefully about the two names and suddenly reacted, "I think I've heard Paula mention the name, Paul.

Could it be that you guys are really..."

Looking at the man across from her a few more times, Lucia was surprised and delighted.

How could there be such a coincidence? She did hear Paula say she had a brother before and said his name a few times, but she didn't pay much attention to it, so she didn't remember too clearly.

Daul said softly.

So you and Paula are BFFs.

No wonder I thought you looked familiar.

Maybe I've seen your group photo on her phone before."

Lucia couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "What a coincidence."

Paul smiled and his voice was gentle and nice, "It must be fate.

As soon as I returned to China and was urged by my grandfather to go on a blind date, I ran into you."

Lucia smiled, guessing Paula's reaction when she knew this.

Because of Paula, Lucia and Paul's relationship seemed to get a lot closer all of a sudden.

Lucia smiled at him and said softly.

"Just call me Lucia and we're all friends."

"Okay, you can just call me Paul."

The two of them smiled at each other, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

"Lucia, I didn't expect such an outstanding person like you to be single.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

Just now when you came over, I thought you had mistaken me for someone else."

Being so complimented by him, Lucia was a little embarrassed, "You are also very good.

Maybe this is fate."

They looked at each other and both smiled.

"By the way, Paula is going back to Austos City in a few days.

Do you know about that?"

Lucia shook her head, "She only told me she was coming back recently but didn't say the exact time."

Paula only said on the phone last time that she might make time to come back.

Paul shook his head and smiled dotingly, "She's so quirky.

I think it's not that she doesn't want to tell you, but she wants to surprise you."

Lucia laughed and thought about her best friend Paula who really deserved the word "quirky".

"I also did not expect that she would have a brother with such a stable and gentle character."

The two talked and smiled at each other.

Once they talked about Paula, they unknowingly had a lot of common topics.

Although in the end, she forgot the purpose of her visit to the coffee shop, it was a fun date for an hour or so.

After having a meal together, Paul took Lucia to the entrance of the neighborhood.

Before leaving, he asked her for the next date, "Lucia, when Paula comes back, how about the three of us going out together?"

Lucia was in a good mood and nodded in response, "Sure, you can arrange it then."

Paul smiled and saw her off, "Okay, I'll see you next time."

When she walked into the neighborhood, Lucia was surprisingly relaxed.

In the last few days, because of the divorce, she had been living a gloomy and uninteresting life every day.

Although she had promised Mrs.Mitchell to go on a blind date to pass the time, the meeting turned out to be more interesting than she had expected.

Lucia became happy and walked briskly toward home.

Before she had gone far, the cell phone in her handbag suddenly rang.

When she picked it up and saw the word "Carter"

on the screen, she unconsciously got a little more nervous.

She took a deep breath to calm down and pressed the answer button at the same time, "Hello, Carter."

August had told her at the hospital that he had given her time off to rest.

So, after the divorce, Lucia had not been to the office since she was discharged from the hospital and returned home to recuperate.

She didn't know why Carter called her this time.

"Lucia, when do you plan to go back to work?"
