She Is A CEO

Before Lucia could open her mouth to retort, Maya was rudely pushed aside by Eduard, who said in a cold voice.

"Maya, I thought you were a well-bred woman, but it turns out you are just a vicious woman. I just want to have lunch with Lucia. Whatever you think is your business. Also, don't look for me in the future, okay?"

Eduard broke up with Maya in public. Maya's angry face became as white as sheet, but she tried to keep her pride, snorted, and said.

"Eduard, I don't give a damn about you, okay? You break up with me for this kind of woman. Neither do I want to see you again!"

After saying that, Maya stomped her feet, turned around, and left. After walking a few steps, she looked back at Eduard. Seeing that he did not intend to catch up with her, she was angrier and finally had to leave in anger.

After Maya left, Eduard was still angry, but he was more concerned about Lucia, sat down, and said to her, "Lucia, I'm sorry for making you be scolded for no reason."

Lucia sat silently. Nia lowered her head beside her and did not dare to say anything.

Just when Eduard thought that Lucia was angry and wanted to pacify her, Lucia spoke, "It's time to tell Poppy to watch her mouth."

"What?" Eduard was confused.

"I'm sorry that I let a beauty walk away in anger," Lucia hid her displeasure and said jokingly to ease the embarrassment.

"Well, I can't wait for her to leave!" Eduard grunted and said, "Lucia, Nia, sorry about that."

Nia didn't think Eduard, her boss, had to make an apology, so she hurriedly shook her head. Lucia took a sip of wine and had a secret plan in her mind.

That night, Poppy met Lucia on the road not far from home. She could have continued walking, but seeing Lucia standing arrogantly on the side of the road, Poppy, who thought highly of herself, could not escape.

The Ferrari was parked at the side of the road, Poppy proudly got out of the car and said, "What, waiting here for Jacob? Jacob just finished dinner with me and went to an evening party. It's useless to wait here."

"Who said I was waiting for him?" The friendly smile on her lips posed a sharp contrast to the coldness in her eyes as she stared at Poppy.

"I was waiting for you."

Under the street light, there was a cold light in Lucia's eyes. Seeing it, Poppy just felt that her heart contracted and her stomach lurched.

It was the first time that Lucia had come to her ...

Poppy would not have been afraid if other people were there. But now only the two of them were there. Poppy was a little bit timid, and she hadn't forgotten Lucia's martial arts.

"Lucia, civilized people try to talk than use fists. What are you trying to do to me?" Poppy asked arrogantly, somewhat regretting that she had stopped the car and gotten out. As Lucia stepped closer to her, she took several steps backward timidly.

"Civilized people try to talk?" Lucia sneered as she walked toward Poppy, "You're good at talking, but I think you are just a brutal woman."

Poppy knew the implication of Lucia's words and said calmly, "What do you want to do?"

"What do I want to do?" Lucia rushed at Poppy.

Seeing her face red in fear, Lucia reached out, clasped her arm, and said, "Poppy, I ignore what you do, because you are not worthy to be my opponent. Have you been bad-mouthing me lately? Is it fun to spread rumors about me?"

After hearing Lucia's words, Poppy finally realized why Lucia came to her.

After knowing the reason, she said much more confidently, "You have the cheek to do it, but you can't stand being the target of public criticism?"

Lucia said, "No, what you have said is affecting other people's lives, so I gotta keep your mouth shut."

In fact, Lucia felt sorry for Eduard. Though Maya was not a good woman of good character, Lucia was guilty that Eduard broke up with Maya because of her. Lucia was not afraid of the rumors about her, but she wouldn't allow them to spread if they affected others.

Using force was not the way to deter people, but when it came to Poppy, it would never be too much to use force.

The dull pain in her arm made Poppy frown, but she insisted on her opinion, raised her eyebrows, and said.

"Lucia, since you are afraid that rumors about you will affect others, then cut off your ties with everyone. You are just a dissolute woman. Since you take yourself as a protector and a bringer of justice, then just stay away from them!"

"I'm not willing to do it," Lucia said.C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

Poppy froze for a moment. She thought what she said could upset Lucia. Now she could only stare blankly at Lucia.

"I did get into a lot of trouble because of you and Jacob. People around me are always dragged down by me. They choose to stay by my side because they have a bond with me. That's why I came to you today. Poppy, I am here to warn you instead of begging you. Since they choose to stay by my side, I am obliged to protect them. If you keep stirring up trouble, don't blame me for not getting back at you!" Lucia warned coldly, released her grip, and then pushed Poppy, who then stumbled back. The sudden pain came from her numb arm, causing her to gasp.

"Making you painful is just a small case," Lucia added, with her arms over her chest.

Poppy's face was pale. Though defeated by Lucia, she was reluctant to admit defeat. She was extremely angry when hearing her threat.

Poppy had been acting like the dominator of Athegate for so many years. Everyone tried to curry favor with her. Only Lucia dared to beat her so hard!

"Lucia, I'm not afraid of you!" Poppy shouted. She seemed to lose her mind and dash towards Lucia, wanting to fight with Lucia, but she was unaware of how absurd she looked in Lucia's eyes.

Lucia sneered, and turned sideways to dodge Poppy's attack. Poppy rushed out a few steps and almost fell to the ground instead. Then her pale face slowly turned purple.
