She Is A CEO

Lucia paused and her eyes flashed. After a while, she said, "No, he said he would find out the truth as soon as possible."

"Lucia, don't you think you are a pushover? Arthur distrusts you and only protects Juliana, but you forgive him so easily!" Eduard was enraged by Lucia's nonchalance. How could she forgive Arthur so easily! "What can I do? He is Theodore's father." Though she said so, she knew clearly that she gave way to her love for Arthur.NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

Upon hearing this, Eduard was indignant. He could not find the words to criticize Lucia.

He laughed to release his anger, and whined at Lucia, "Why are none of my girlfriends as open-minded as you? They could even quarrel with me over whom had dinner with me!"

Lucia was amused, glanced at Eduard, and teased him, "Sounds like you have a lot of girlfriends, huh?"

Eduard was speechless. Right on cue, Lucia's mobile phone rang. She answered the phone directly.

After hearing a few words, she frowned and said in a soft voice, "Okay, I see. Take good care of her."

Eduard pricked up his ears when Lucia was talking on the phone. Though he didn't hear the caller clearly, he was sure that it was Arthur and "her" referred to Juliana.

"Is it Arthur?" Eduard's anger flared again.

"Yes. Juliana has returned to the company. It's not convenient for him to come over and have lunch with me," Lucia said softly. But Eduard who knew her well could sense the coldness in her voice.

"I've told you that he only protects Juliana!" Knowing that Arthur stood Lucia up because of Juliana, Eduard appeared angrier than Lucia. "Lucia, can you not be that soft?"

"Arthur is right. Regardless of what Juliana has done, she is in her darkest moments. If Arthur leaves her alone for my sake, then I don't think he is a good man." Lucia's words showed how broad-minded she was.

"Jesus!" Eduard couldn't figure out what was on Lucia's mind. More precisely, he had never understood it before. "You are really a saint. You don't even mind your beloved man staying with another woman!" "Who says I didn't mind it?" Lucia's eyes flickered, "I choose to be tolerant when I need to, but it doesn't mean I'll be at the mercy of others, especially those who have evil intentions!" There were three reasons why Lucia chose to make up with Arthur for the time being. Firstly, she loved Arthur; secondly, Theodore needed fatherly love; thirdly, he promised her that he would not let go of Juliana if he found out Juliana was the evildoer.

Even Lucia herself would not spare Juliana!

However, the precondition was that Arthur figured out the truth. She was willing to wait.

Seeing the light in Lucia's eyes, Eduard realized that she was not a fool for love but an intellectual woman. His worry seemed unnecessary.

"Eduard, thanks for your concern." Lucia was grateful for Eduard's kindness, which was very precious in a society full of hypocrites.

"I just hope that I am worried for nothing." Eduard laughed to himself.

Arthur came to Lucia's home late at night. As soon as Lucia opened the door and saw her beloved man, she could imagine that he sneaked out after Juliana fell asleep.

"Lucia, I miss you!" Though the cold from the air was radiating through his body, Arthur's hug was warm.

Lucia smiled and pretended to be troubled. "Sir, my husband is not at home now. Are you sure you want to sneak in and spend the night?"

Arthur hugged Lucia and replied, "First, I am your husband; second, you opened the door for me. There is no such thing as sneaking in."

Her feet were above the ground, but she didn't feel uneasy in his arms.

With a smile, Lucia leaned closer to Arthur's ear and whispered, "Aren't you afraid of being found out by Juliana?"

Was Lucia a saint? She was not!

Arthur turned gloomy at the mention of Juliana. But with the beloved woman in his arms, he chose to tell the truth, "I've been working on a case recently. She took a week off and looked very haggard after a week's off. Though she said she got sick when she traveled to Luawell, I think there is more to it."

Arthur was honest with her, which made Lucia feel his trust in her. Then she changed the subject, "What is the case that needs you to work so hard?"

After putting Lucia on the sofa and sitting down, Arthur talked about the competition over the projects with JTP Group.

Hearing that, Lucia frowned and said apologetically, "Arthur, I'm sorry. I got Davonnis into trouble."

The reason why Jacob stole projects from Davonnis was clear.

"Don't be silly," said Arthur, biting Lucia's earlobe.

Seeing her blushing, he smiled and said, "I am not that weak, okay? The loss of a few projects won't have any impact on me." Arthur didn't boast. Branch of Davonnis would not be shaken a bit just because of the loss of a few projects, let alone Davonnis Corp. "Then why do you care so much?" Lucia asked worriedly, avoiding Arthur's bite.

The worried look in Lucia's eyes made Arthur touched. He replied with a smile, "JTP Group could not take away those projects on its own." "Someone is behind it?" As a businesswoman, Lucia had good business sense.

"As my woman, you are really smart!" Arthur praised her to curry favor.

Lucia was amused by his cheekiness and didn't forget to ask with concern, "Have you found out who helped Jacob in secret?"

"No." It affected Arthur's mood to some extent.

He stopped fondling Lucia and said seriously, "I thought a mole in the company helped him, but it turned out to be not true. It seems that Jacob is assisted by someone capable."

"What are you going to do?" Lucia stared at Arthur and asked.

"Recently, a new project has been developed in the south of the city. I will bid for this opportunity personally. If I lose to Jacob, it means there is a person more influential than me and Davonnis in Athegate," Arthur told Lucia his plan frankly.
