Chapter 257 Not Giving Him A Chance to Grow

At the same time, Merlin, who was sitting in a private room, suddenly felt cold in his back.He looked up at the air conditioner and muttered, "The temperature of the air conditioner is too low."

"Really?"

Bishop teased with a smile, "Is it because you have been overindulging in sex recently that you became weak?"

"F*ck you!"

Merlin scolded him with a smile, raised his hand, drank up the wine in his glass, and said, "But I've felt annoyed lately.All my other friends refused to hang out with me and made up various excuses.I know it is because the Kelly Group has been in trouble recently that they are avoiding me!"

With a smile on his lips, Bishop took a sip of his wine and said, "It's normal for monkeys to disperse when the tree falls."

"Bah!" said Merlin.

Then he threw the glass in his hand on the table, not in the mood to drink anymore.He said, "My dad went to the Lion group to beg August yesterday, but he was persuaded to come back.I will destroy August sooner or later!"

Listening to him complaining angrily for a long time, Bishop maintained his smile in silence.

When Merlin was almost done venting his anger, Bishop said softly, "Merlin, to be honest, making a public apology is indeed a good idea.But August did not tell your father everything he needs to do.If the

Kelly Group wants to survive this disaster, your father should not only make a public apology but also let your PR department continue to influence public opinion.Only in this way can he succeed."

Merlin suddenly got excited, looked at Bishop with bright eyes, and asked, "What should we do?"

Bishop chuckled, "Distract people's attention from the Kelly Group.A loving affair in the entertainment circle is the most suitable."

When Merlin heard this, his eyes lit up.Then, he patted his head and said, "Yes! Why didn't I think of it!"

But soon, his face became gloomy again when he said, "But how can we find the breaking news in the entertainment circle? It is not an easy thing!"

Hearing this, Bishop said leisurely with a smile, "I can help you."

When Merlin heard this, a flash of joy flashed in his eyes, and he asked, "How?"

Bishop calmly picked up his phone, opened the album, and then handed the phone to Merlin.

"This was taken by a reporter I know.The female star is famous.If this picture is exposed online, it will become a trending topic, right? Besides, isn't the man in the picture who you hate the most?"

Merlin was ecstatic.

When he stared at the two people snuggling together in the photo, a coldness flashed across his eyes.He hurriedly looked at Bishop and asked, "Can you sell it to me?"

Bishop shook his head and chuckled, "We're friends, so I won't accept your money.I originally thought I can do nothing to help you.I'm glad that I can help the Kelly Group out of trouble."

Merlin's face brightened, and he quickly stretched out his hand, patted Bishop on the shoulder with proper strength, and said, "You deserve to be my good friend.Send me the photo, and I'll figure out a

way!"

He had just said he was going to destroy August, but he had not expected the opportunity to come so soon! Bishop smiled in silence and sent the photo to him without hesitation.

After Merlin left excitedly, Bob pushed open the door and walked in.

Bishop said coldly, "Send people to watch him."

"Yes, Mr.Lion.

"How is the situation of the Flying Group?"

Bob reported truthfully, "Our people have been planted in, but I'm not sure whether we will succeed."

Bishop clenched his fists and said in an extremely cold voice, "We must stop the Lion group from cooperating with the Flying Group no matter what!"

He didn't dare to imagine how much benefit the 700-million-dollar project could bring to the Lion group.

Once August became stronger, it would be harder for Bishop to achieve his goal.So, he would never give him a chance to grow up! Lucia had not expected to meet Jeanne again so soon.

She had met her at the cafe yesterday, but when she was talking with Jasper about work this morning, Jeanne walked out of the elevator with a lunch box unexpectedly.

When Lucia turned her head back and saw her, she was taken aback.

Seeing her here, Jeanne was also surprised, so she stepped forward and asked suspiciously, "Lucia, why are you here?"

Lucia took a deep breath and replied bravely, "I...I have been transferred to the President's office.Paula is on marriage leave, so I will temporarily replace her as President Adams's secretary."

When Jeanne heard her words, a gloomy look flashed across her eyes before she said, "Is August in the office now? I'll accompany him to have lunch."

"Yes.This way, please,"

Lucia said, led her to the office, knocked on the door, and pushed the door open after hearing August's response.

Jeanne smiled and said softly, "Thank you."

Then, she walked in.

Seeing August, she said with joy, "August, guess what I bring to you?"

Her voice was sweet with a touch of shyness, sounding as if she were flirting with her boyfriend.

Lucia took a deep breath, closed the door, and walked toward Jasper.

Jasper looked at her excitedly and asked in a faint voice, "Lucia, you know President Adams's girlfriend?"

Lucia’s mood inexplicably become gloomy when she replied lightly, "Yes, I've met her a few times"

Jasper said excitedly like a little lady, "Wow! I envy you! To be honest, President Adams and his girlfriend are a good match.I heard they are getting engaged soon! What a happy couple..."

Hearing this, Lucia somehow felt a little depressed as if she were being pressed by something.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

But shouldn't she be happy that August and Jeanne would get engaged soon? Suddenly, the door of the office opened.

August stood at the door, looked at her lightly with his cold eyes, and said, "Lucia, please make a pot of coffee and send it over."

Lucia came back to her senses and hurriedly responded, "Okay."

Then, the door was closed.

In the office, Jeanne sat motionlessly on the sofa with her head down like a little girl who had made a mistake.

August glanced over and sat down beside her with a gloomy face.

Then, he flipped through a document on the tablet without saying a word.

After a moment of silence, Jeanne couldn't bear it anymore.

So, she reached out her hand cautiously, gently hooked her finger at his cuff, and said, "August, don't be angry.It was my fault last time..."

August ignored her.

Seeing this, Jeanne felt sad, forced out a few tears, and continued, "I care about you too much, so I thought that you refused to help me because you don't care about me.I have no sense of security..."

With her head down, she kept shrugging her shoulders and sobbing, looking pitiful.

When August glanced back at her with a frown, his heart softened a bit, so he picked up a tissue, handed it to her, and said, "Don't think too much."

Hearing this, Jeanne immediately held his arm, leaned on his shoulder, and said, "It would be great if we could get engaged earlier.I'm sure I will stop thinking nonsense then."

Hearing this, August showed a sullen look, pursed his lips into a line, and kept silent.

Jeanne looked at him tentatively and changed the subject, asking, "Are you still angry?"

"No," he responded lightly.

Hearing this, Jeanne smiled, leaned forward, and kissed him on his cheek.

August was stunned.And when he raised his eyes inadvertently, he saw Lucia standing at the door with a tray.

Obviously, she had seen it.
