Chapter 205 He Went To The Concert August stopped flipping through the documents, raised his eyes, and glanced at the ticket on the table.
When he saw the time and place clearly, his eyes darkened slightly.
It was the night after tomorrow in the Austos City International Conference Hall.
He thought that he could go and have a look.
After returning from the President's Office to the Administration Department, Lucia picked up her phone and sent a message to Paula, [The tickets have been delivered, and he said he would go.] If she didn't send Paula a message, with Paula's temperament, she would probably be restless and wait all afternoon.
Paula was obviously in love.
As expected, in a second, Lucia got a reply.
Paula's tone was indeed blunt, [I don't care if he goes or not!] Then there was another message with a squinting smile emoji, [But you must go!] Lucia smiled and didn't think much.
She started to work after replying.
On the other hand, after receiving the message from Lucia, Paula quickly sent a message to her brother Paul, "Paul, Lucia said she will go."
After sending it, she somehow felt she had betrayed her friend.
But when she thought that she did this to make her good best friend become her future sister-in-law, she put all her guilt behind her.
In a blink of an eye, two days passed.
From early morning to afternoon, Lucia received several reminder text messages from Paula.
As soon as she got off work, she left the company in a hurry, grabbed something to eat, and went back to the apartment to change clothes.
Anyway, today was Paula's "big day", and she had to dress more formally.
She put on an off-white long dress with a wide hem.
The V-neckline added a sense of laziness and casualness.
The tightening of the waist outlined the lines of her body.
The hem was wide, and every step she took could reveal her long legs and slender ankles.
Her hair was slightly curly and her makeup was light.
Lucia looked at herself in the mirror and felt that she had never been so feminine before.
The way she dressed wouldn't disgrace Paula at least.
She put on a pair of nude pink high-heeled sandals.
She smiled contentedly, picked up the pearl handbag, and walked out.
Going out in such a formal manner gave her the illusion of going out on a date.
But when she thought that she had no date at all, she couldn't help but smile mockingly.
It was 7:30 when she arrived at the Austos City International Conference Hall.
The concert officially started at 8:00.
After Lucia entered the venue, found her seat and sat down.
She sent Paula a few messages but got no response.
Thinking that maybe she was busy preparing, she didn't continue to text her.
After a while, a lot of people entered the venue and most of them were in groups of two or three, sitting down together and chatting in a low voice.
Lucia suddenly felt a little lonely.
But just a few seconds after she felt lonely, there was the sound of leather shoes walking in the aisle next to her, and then someone came towards her.
Lucia turned her head subconsciously and looked over.
When she looked up and saw the tall man, she was slightly startled, *...Paul?"
Paul was wearing a light gray suit.
He looked tall and straight.
His hairstyle seemed to have been carefully groomed, revealing his smooth forehead.
Paul smiled, and his voice was as warm and pleasant as always, "Lucia, you came quite early."
Lucia was a little surprised at first.
But when she thought that as Paula's older brother, he would naturally come to support her, all her doubts disappeared.
She smiled politely at him, bent her legs to let him go in, and said softly, "Of course, I'd arrive early for Paula's concert."
Paul sat down beside her.
His smile deepened and he said softly, "It's good that she has you as her friend."
Suddenly being complimented by someone, Lucia was a little embarrassed and said with a smile, "She's good too."
She and Paula had always helped each other.
It could be said that they would not be who they were now without each other.
Paul nodded slightly and asked casually, "What, have you been busy with work recently?"
"It's much better."
Lucia calmed down and replied honestly, "It's not as busy as it was some time ago."
Since she signed that contract, the burden on her shoulders had eased a lot.
In the end, she should thank August. Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
Paul said gently, "That's good.
No matter what, you must take care of yourself."
The two chatted, and ten minutes passed before they knew it.
Seeing that the audience was filling up, Lucia turned to look at the empty seat on the right and felt a little worried.
Seeing that it would officially start in a few minutes, Lucia was worried because Burton hadn't come yet.
Didn't he say he would come? She turned her head and looked in the direction of the entrance several times.
Paul, who was sitting on her left, noticed something unusual, leaned slightly closer, and asked softly, "What are you looking at?"
Lucia turned around with a worried look, and said softly, "A friend promised to come..."
She lowered her eyebrows and looked a little disappointed.
Paul paused.
He glanced at the vacant seat on her right and somehow thought of August.
Was it he? He raised his hand and glanced at his watch.
There were still four minutes before the concert started.
The lights on the stage were already on, and only the red curtain had not been drawn.
"Don't worry, he will come."
Resisting the curiosity in his heart, Paul didn't ask any further questions, but reached out and patted her on the shoulder lightly.
Lucia nodded and looked forward, still feeling a little unsure.
She should have called Burton to confirm before she came.
Otherwise, if he didn't come after he agreed, Paula would probably be disappointed.
At this moment, a slender figure came in from the entrance, glanced at the seat row, and walked over.
The man had an extraordinary bearing and strode forward, causing the audience on both sides to look at him unconsciously.
His eyes locked on a row of seats.
His eyes fell on the back of the long-haired girl in an off-white dress and he smiled.
But when he saw the man sitting on the other side of the girl, his eyes darkened suddenly.
Why was he? August frowned and walked over.
When he saw Lucia turn her head slightly and lean over to chat with Paul with a smile, his face became gloomier.
"Excuse me."
He said slightly to the outermost person in the row and then stepped inside.
Lucia suddenly heard a familiar voice, and her back subconsciously tensed a bit.
When she turned her head, she saw the man walking towards her.
August...why did he come? She froze and straightened her body.
Her lips parted slightly, and she looked at him in astonishment.
She had given Burton the ticket.
Why did he show up? Before she could react, August sat down beside her.
She bit her lips and lowered her voice, "Why are you here?"
August turned his head slightly and asked in a low voice, "Why can't I be here?"
Lucia frowned and looked back, "Where's Burton?"
She had told Paula that she had already given the ticket to Burton, but the person who came was August.
If Paula asked, how should she explain it?
