She Is A CEO

Interrupted by Eduard. Spencer kept his smile on his face, withdrew his hand calmly, and said, "You guys have fun tonight."

"Of course." Eduard smiled. "Mr. Davies, excuse us, then. Lucia, Mr. Gallagher is over there. Let's go over and say hello." After saying that, Eduard took Lucia away without any hesitation. Spencer looked at their backs, his eyes dark with an unfathomable emotion. Other guests soon gathered around him. Spencer then collected his thoughts and put on a fake smile to deal with them. Soon after Eduard and Lucia arrived, Arthur and Juliana stepped into the venue.NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

After another month, Juliana's belly became bulging and she looked much plumper, but in front of everyone, she still behaved like a happy woman doted on by Arthur.

Arthur led her to say hello to Spencer and then took her to a quiet corner. Seeing fewer people around her, Juliana withdrew her arm that was linked with Arthur's, and lowered his head in a daze.

Arthur looked at her resignedly. It had been more than a month. As if to punish him, Juliana did not talk to him unless it was necessary, and hardly mentioned the baby to him. She would ask the housekeeper to take her to the hospital to prescribe medicine only when she was uncomfortable from morning sickness, but the housekeeper would certainly tell him, and in the end, he would be the one that took her to the hospital.

"Julia, what would you like to eat?" Arthur asked with concern tonight when Juliana hadn't eaten anything because she was sick.

Juliana looked askance at Arthur and kept silent.

Arthur sighed and asked the passing waiter to bring her a piece of cake. When the waiter handed it to Juliana, she did not even reach out to take it. Looking embarrassed, Arthur could only take the small plate. After he dismissed the waiter, he said to her, "Julia, what do you want from me?"

"You can't give what I want, so why ask again?" Juliana said coldly.

Juliana's words excluded the possibility of communication between them. Arthur chose to keep quiet. When he quieted down, Arthur began to look around the venue again, searching for that familiar figure. Suddenly, Juliana beside him spoke, "As expected, you're looking for her again."

Arthur froze for a moment. Perhaps even he did not notice that he would do it so naturally. Then Arthur turned to Juliana and said.

"Julia, why do you have to do that?"

'You know I love her uncontrollably. Why do you have to ask for something that I can't give you?'

"Why do I have to?" Juliana let out a bitter laugh and sighed. "Yes, I don't have to. But I can't help being jealous even if I know you don't love me."

After she finished speaking, Juliana hung her head low, as if she was shrouded in a haze that could not be dispersed.

Arthur was frustrated to see her like that, but he could not make up a lie to comfort Juliana. The two quieted down again, but Arthur was in a more depressed mood now. Arthur could not find Lucia because she was talking with Eduard and others, who blocked Arthur's view. Lucia, of course, noticed that Arthur was looking around for her. Lucia had noticed it as soon as Juliana and Arthur entered the venue, but she had to force herself to look away, so that she didn't have to see Juliana leaning against Arthur. He was accompanied by his fiancée, and their child was about to be born, but Lucia did not regret having sex with him that night, as if it was the most natural thing to do. Noticing her own feelings, Lucia began to force herself to abandon all thoughts that revealed her innermost desires and force herself to be ruthless.

The most relaxed one in the venue was Spencer. He enjoyed the praises of the crowd, observed Lucia and Arthur who were far from each other, and felt delighted about the helplessness of them. 'Arthur, you also have someone you can't get, don't you?'

Shortly after, Jacob arrived late with Poppy. He was late not because he was trying to conceal his relationship with Spencer, but because Poppy had another fight with him before they left the house. Poppy said snappishly that he was so excited to attend the dinner party because Lucia was there.

Jacob had long been tired of arguing with Poppy, so whatever she said, he just echoed. The two got out after Poppy's anger died down.

When Jacob and Poppy expressed congratulations on Spencer, Poppy still pulled a long face and showed no respect for Jacob. Jacob just ignored her and started to chat with Spencer. With no interest in their boring conversation, Poppy just walked away.

"As you said, your wife is quite a character." Spencer teased after Poppy left.

"More than that," Jacob said through gritted teeth.

"If you want Lucia, she's a big obstacle." Spencer reminded as if unintentionally.

"I'm troubled by it," Jacob said frankly. Though there had long been no love between him and Poppy, he needed to have a good reason to divorce Poppy, lest he would be the target of public criticism. "Playing dirty is necessary sometimes," Spencer said with a smile as he clinked his glass against Jacob's.

"What do you mean?" Jacob asked Spencer hesitantly.

Spencer laughed and said, "Think of it yourself."

Spencer had his own reasons to remind Jacob. As the vice president of JTP Group, Poppy had her executive power in the company. If Jacob wanted to get the absolute power, it would be best to get rid of her. Jacob and Spencer looked at each other for a while. Jacob took a tumble. He clinked his glass against Spencer thankfully.

Arthur was a big shot. Even if he avoided the crowd and stayed in the corner, there were still people who walked up to make a conversation with him. Seeing them coming, Juliana hid herself somewhere, so as not to avoid social engagements.

At a place near the exit, Poppy found Juliana.

"What, Arthur's ignoring you?" Leaning closer to Juliana, Poppy deliberately laughed sarcastically.

Juliana knew that Poppy was not a good person, and gave her a look of disdain. "Jacob ignored you too, didn't he?"

Poppy froze for a moment and stared at Juliana for a while. Why did she feel that Juliana was becoming hostile to her?

Thinking that Juliana still had some use for her, Poppy wore a smile and said, "Julia, why are you so bad-tempered today?" "You laughed at me first, didn't you?" Juliana said.
