She Is A CEO

Lucia could only agree. After Spencer booked a flight ticket for her, she found a proper time to ask Esmae.

"Esmae, why did you let Spencer escort me back home?"

"He likes you," Esmae answered frankly. Spencer was too calculating. She wanted to take this chance to give Lucia a warning. It would be best if Lucia had known it. But if not, Esmae would do something to protect Lucia.

"What?!" Lucia widened her eyes in shock.

Esmae smiled and said, "You are too charming. It is not strange that he should be attracted. When you deal with him in the future, be careful. He is very shrewd."

"I have no feelings for him," Lucia replied calmly. Having been betrayed twice, she would no longer fall in love with any man.

"Then just ignore him," Esmae went on as if she had expected Lucia's answer.

"I asked him to escort you back because it worries me too much if you go back alone."

"Esmae, thank you," Lucia took Esmae's hand and sincerely expressed her gratitude. "Please take good care of Teddy."

"I will even if you don't remind me," Esmae smiled and said. The two made eye contact and smiled at each other as if there was a tacit understanding between them.

Spencer booked a flight after noon and he picked Lucia up from Browns Manor when it was time.

Lucia said goodbye to Esmae outside the gate of Browns Manor and hugged and kissed Theodore for a long time before saying, "Teddy, listen to Grandma Esmae, be good and wait for Mommy to pick you up. Esmae, take good care of yourself."

"Don't worry." Esmae took Theodore from Lucia's arms and smiled at Lucia, though reluctant to part with Lucia.

Fearing that she would be unwilling to leave if she stayed any longer with her child, Lucia forced herself to get into the car.

Spencer nodded to Esmae, then started the engine and left, secretly rejoicing that Esmae acquiesced in his pursuit of Lucia.C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

After the car drove away, tears Theodore held back for a long time streamed down. He was intelligent with a high IQ. Even so, he was also a vulnerable boy who relied on his mother very much. Esmae felt sorry and hugged Theodore tightly, while wiping his tears and saying, "Babe, don't cry, your mommy... will be back soon."

This time Esmae gave Spencer a new assignment.

Lucia didn't hide her depression and kept a proper distance from Spencer, who had several unsuccessful attempts to talk to her, and finally had to give up and think about it.

The next afternoon, Lucia set foot on Athegate once again. This time, with dogged determination, she swore to deal with Jacob and Poppy without distraction.

Spencer wanted to send Lucia home, but after they left the exit, a man greeted Lucia with a smile, "Lucia, you're finally back."

The person was Eduard, who had been informed by Lucia in advance because Lucia didn't want to stay with Spencer anymore.

"Well, I'm back," said Lucia with determination. Then she turned to look at Spencer, "Mr. Davies, my colleague is here to pick me up. Do you wanna go with us?" "No need," Spencer concealed his disappointment and said with a gentle smile, "my car is in the parking lot. I'm relieved that someone is here to pick you up." "Who is he?" Eduard asked Lucia when looking at Spencer. It was the first time they had met.

"Spencer Davies, a friend of mine," Lucia replied, not surprised to see Eduard sizing up Spencer with goggled eyes.

No wonder he looked familiar, he was also a Davies!

"Hello, Mr. Burton, I'm Arthur's cousin, Spencer," Spencer said, informing his relationship with Arthur and stretching out his hand to Eduard in a friendly manner. "Sorry, I'm allergic to the Davies," Eduard said with sarcasm and snorted. He could show respect to anyone except for the Davies!

Lucia applauded Eduard for his action, but at the same time, she knew it was rude of Eduard, so she apologized to Spencer, who, however, didn't get upset. He raised a faint smile, withdrew his hand, and said to Lucia, "Lucia, I am leaving then."

Then he just turned around and walked away.

"A refined rascal!" After Spencer walked away, Eduard sneered and taunted.

Amused, Lucia said to him, "Why didn't you just say that to him?"

"Because I'm well-bred!" Eduard replied, with a smile on his face.

Though Lucia still looked worried, he could see that she was much better after her trip abroad, and Eduard was secretly relieved. "Alright, take me home." Lucia smiled, shoved the luggage nonchalantly into Eduard's hand, and walked straight toward his car. Eduard was sulking, but he just followed Lucia obediently.

The two were about to get into the car when Spencer's car passed by. Lucia was heedless of it, while Eduard was staring at the car.

"What are you looking at?" Lucia asked Eduard instead of telling him that it was Spencer's car.

"The owner of the car is Jacob. Why does it appear here?" Eduard murmured. It warned Lucia.

"How do you know that's Jacob's car?" Lucia asked afterward.

"This car used to be a friend of mine. He sold it when his business failed. The buyer was Jacob, and he did not even change the license plate. I am sure I am not mistaken," Eduard replied.

Lucia was shocked. Could it be that Spencer was in contact with Jacob? Otherwise, why would Spencer drive a car owned by Jacob?

Lucia was deep in thought when Eduard noticed that she was not moving and asked her, "Lucia, what are you thinking about?"

"Nothing." Without telling Eduard her speculation, Lucia smiled, took the matter to heart, and got into the car before saying, "Let's go, driver."

"Yes, Miss Webb!" Eduard cheerfully responded and got into the car.

As the car sped along the outer ring road, Lucia asked Eduard about the week's events, and Eduard, who should have been impressed by her, complained about her for being too dedicated. Lucia didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

After chitchatting with Lucia for a while, Eduard suddenly said, "But during your visit to Chicago, something that shocked the whole Athegate did happen, but it had nothing to do with our company."
