She Is A CEO

As soon as Lucia stepped out of Jacob's office, she saw Arthur waiting for her at the elevator. She smiled. She knew that nothing would happen to her, but he loved to worry. Arthur, who loved to worry so much, made her feel warm inside.Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

Arthur took his hand out of his trouser pocket and reached for Lucia. Lucia raised her hand and placed it in his palm. The anger that Jacob had caused earlier was instantly appeased.

"How did it go?" Arthur asked Lucia.

"Never repent," replied Lucia.

"Then kill him," Arthur said with a rare ruffian tone that made Lucia look at him.

"So cruel?" Lucia laughed.

"Cruel?" Arthur put his arm around Lucia's shoulder and carried her into the elevator.

"That's the right attitude for a man like Jacob," Lucia said, after what seemed like serious thought.

When the elevator doors closed, Arthur stared at Lucia and said seriously, "Lucia, my coming along this time is going to make a lot of people really think that you've been relying on Davonnis Corp and me. If you don't mind, I can transfer my shares to you so that..."

"No," said Lucia, before Arthur could finish. "If you do transfer, the suspicion will be confirmed."

Lucia's self-esteem and pride were just as Arthur had imagined.

"But that's all right," Arthur said with a smile. "I'm supposed to be your backup."

"Yes, you are my biggest backup," said Lucia sweetly as she curled her lips and leaned into Arthur's arms.

As the elevator slowly descended, Lucia and Arthur returned to the lobby of the JTP, where Kane and Kyle were waiting for them at the gate. Arthur sent Lucia back to Jibillion Inc and then Kane back to Fragranerde Hall. Then he got back to Davonnis Corp with Kyle.

Lucia came to Eduard today with mixed feelings. She was serious about coming to work at Jibillion Inc, but now she felt guilty for using it as a springboard.

Arriving at Eduard's office, Lucia was silent for a moment before she could say anything.

Eduard seemed a little sulky and didn't bring it up.

The two people just stood there in silence. Lucia stood in front of Eduard's desk, thinking with her mind starting to wander out of the sky. Her eyes were filled with a cute sense of bewilderment. At a glance, it was obvious that her mind was no longer on this. Finding this, Eduard nearly choked.

"How can you be in a daze at a time like this?!" Finally, Eduard surrendered and stood up to ask Lucia.

"Well..." Lucia came back to herself and smiled at Eduard. "But you didn't say anything, did you?" She said innocently

"How can I say anything?" Eduard was furious. "Am I supposed to tell you that your resignation has been approved and that you can leave now?!"

That was right. Lucia and Eduard were in a standoff over the resignation. Once Lucia took over JTP, she won't be able to take on the Jibillion Inc side of the business, so a few days ago she tendered her resignation to Jibillion headquarters in Germany. She came here today to wait for the result.

Knowing why Eduard was angry, Lucia's smile faded away. She lowered her eyes and whispered, "Eduard, I'm sorry..."

Eduard was not really mad. He was happy for Lucia to be back at Webbex Group, but... ... a little reluctant. "Don't apologize..." Eduard snapped.

Lucia looked up at Eduard's awkward look, smiled and said, "Even if I'm not at Jibillion, we'll still be friends."

As soon as Lucia finished her words, Eduard's eyes lit up. He seemed to realize that he had been too "nice" to her, "Who's your friend..."

Lucia's smile deepened as she leaned over Eduard and said, "Of course it's you, Mr. Burton."

"Hmph!" Eduard snorted proudly, but the upturned corners of his lips revealed his thoughts. How could Eduard really blame Lucia?

"Come on, don't give me a hard time," Lucia said and blinked after finding Eduard's pride. "How's Daphne doing, by the way?"

At the mention of Daphne, Eduard's prideful face faded a little, and he looked away and said, "Well, recovering well. She can move around."

"Is it convenient for her to stay at your place? Or shall I arrange another place for her?" Lucia, with a sly smile on her lips, continued to ask him deliberately.

"Where is safer than my home?!" Eduard retorted, looking back at Lucia, but the next moment he regretted his quick reaction, for Lucia smiled mischievously at his words. "Lucia..." Eduard didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"If you're serious, treat her well. Daphne is very simple, not as scheming as those socialites you used to date," Lucia warned Eduard seriously.

"What are you talking about..." Eduard retorted immediately, but the volume was low.

"Even if I'm talking nonsense, you have to remember this. I'm going back to the Webbex Group tomorrow. You have to take care of yourself and Daphne," Lucia said with a gentle smile. "Let's not make a big deal out of it, okay? How far is the Webbex Group from Jibillion ..." Eduard tried to hide his reluctance to let her leave, but continued to harangue Lucia.

Lucia pursed her lips and didn't laugh out loud. The longer she knew Eduard, the more she realized that he was an innocent man in the rich circle, but only to those he trusted. Lucia was happy to be the one who revealed his qualities.

"Eduard, thank you for taking care of me for so long," Lucia said sincerely.

"Don't get sentimental, okay?" Eduard rolled his eyes. He really didn't like Lucia's gratitude because it made him look like a girl.

"OK, I don't want to make you cry," said Lucia with a smile and a gentle look in her eyes.

"What nonsense! I would..." Eduard was about to snort when he looked up at Lucia and realized it was her with red eyes.

His heart melted. Eduard took a step forward and hugged Lucia. He held back his distressed feeling and said, "You taunt me but cry first..."
