She Is A CEO

Daphne's excitement made Lucia unable to help but smile, and said, "We know each other. I saved your number and noted your name. Of course, I will answer your call."

"Hmm," Daphne responded, then added, "Miss Webb, do you have time now? Can you come out and meet me?"

"Now?" Lucia raised her eyebrows and glanced at her watch. It was 100'clock in the morning, and it wasn't lunch break yet.

"Is it inconvenient?" Daphne's attitude was always cautious, and when Lucia said this, she asked softly immediately. "Not really. What do you want to do?" asked Lucia.

"I have something very important to tell you. If possible, I hope you can come out and meet me." Daphne said anxiously.

Lucia frowned, hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, tell me the location. I'll go out and find you now."

Daphne was very excited, and immediately told Lucia her location. Before the call ended, she solemnly told her that she would wait all the time. After hanging up the phone, Lucia picked up her coat and walked out. Her intuition told herself that Daphne must have something important to say to her.

As soon as Lucia walked to the elevator, she met Eduard who went downstairs to find her. Eduard asked Lucia, "Lucia, do you want to go out?"

"Well, Poppy's assistant has something to tell me," Lucia asked Eduard as she walked into the elevator, "Are you looking for me?"

"I want to review the details of a project with you. Since Poppy's assistant is looking for you, let's deal with her side first." Eduard said and pressed the button on the first floor.

"You should go up first when you go back to the office, right?" Lucia asked him strangely.

"I'll accompany you." Eduard glanced at Lucia and answered.

"Why? Afraid that she will eat me?" Lucia teased hilariously.

"Is there any good people around Poppy? I'm afraid you'll have an accident, so let's go together. Anyway, I have time." Eduard was instantly proved wrong because he just said that he was looking for Lucia on business.

Lucia smiled and didn't expose Eduard. Since he wanted to go with her, let's go.

After leaving Jibillion Inc, Lucia and Eduard came to Daphne's location after a while. This was a milk tea shop in the downtown area. The consumers were young boys and girls. Lucia and Eduard rarely came to this kind of occasion. When they walked into the shop in suits and leather shoes, they immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Lucia ignored the others' gazes because she was startled when she saw Daphne who sat in the corner.

Quickly walking towards Daphne, Lucia asked worriedly before she sat down, "Miss Cook, what's wrong?"Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

It turned out that Daphne's condition was not very good. It can be said that it was very bad. There were obvious bruises on her face, especially around the eyes. She was wearing long sleeves just to cover the scars on her arms. And the posture of placing her feet was awkward. Her right foot seemed to be unable to bend, but stood straight.

"Great, here you're," Daphne breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Lucia, as if she was relieved, and then looked at Eduard and said,

"Hello, Mr. Burton."

Lucia knew that Daphne was a very polite girl. When she saw her sitting and saying hello, she knew that there must be something wrong with her leg. She continued to ask, "Who caused your injury? Did your leg hurt too?!"

Daphne touched her leg embarrassedly. The injury on her leg just got worse after sitting for a while, but now she was more concerned about other things,

"Miss Webb, sit down first and listen to me slowly."

Lucia sat down with Eduard. Eduard had been looking at Daphne and didn't expect Poppy's assistant to meet Lucia like this.

Lucia was very worried when she saw Daphne like this. Seeing that she had been rummaging through her bag, she said anxiously, "You can put anything away. I'll take you to the hospital for a check first?" "This matter can't be delayed," Daphne continued to look down in her bag, saying, "My injury doesn't matter."

Lucia was very helpless. Eduard was curious and kept staring at Daphne's bag.

After a while, Daphne took out a small dark green book from her bag. She carefully held it on the table and handed it to Lucia,

"Miss Webb, this is for you."

"What is this?" Lucia suspiciously stretched out her hand to take the small book. As she just turned a few pages, her eyes widened, and she said to Daphne,

"This is Jacob's ledger for bribes!"

"Yeah." Daphne nodded happily. Seeing Lucia's surprise and joy, she felt that everything was worth it.

Lucia was happy to get the ledger, but what happened to Daphne?

"Did Poppy ask you to steal it?" Although the words were questionable, Lucia already knew whom Poppy was looking for.

"Well, Poppy called me a few days ago and asked me to find a chance to enter Jacob's office. She said that there was a small green notebook in his lounge safe. As soon as I got it, I would give it to her immediately, and I did it. Yes, yesterday I sneaked into Jacob's office while he was away, and successfully stole the notebook, but Jacob soon found out that the notebook was missing. But he didn't know it was me. There was no surveillance in his office, so he interrogated and examined Poppy's subordinates, and I was asked..."

"You didn't admit it, so you were beaten by Jacob's men?" Lucia had already guessed what happened next.

Daphne lowered her eyes and nodded silently, and said in a low voice, "Because I'm Poppy's assistant, Jacob thinks I'm the most suspicious. He brought his subordinates to my house last night..."

"Why don't you contact me right away!" Lucia was so angry that she almost slapped the table. Jacob's methods were vicious. How could Daphne be able to withstand the beating!? But... she still bore it alone... This made Lucia even more angry and distressed.

Daphne pursed her lips. No matter what happened, she wouldn't be looking for Lucia at that time.

Eduard was impressed by Daphne. He didn't expect this thin young girl to be so tough.

"I'm fine, but I thought about it in advance and put the book in a mailbox next door, so Jacob turned my house upside down and couldn't find anything. Then they left reluctantly, so I took it back, but I won't give it to Poppy. Miss Webb, I want to give it to you."
