She Is A CEO

Chapter 293 A Surprise



"One more week, and we'll go get Teddy," Lucia said, missing her son. Arthur missed him too.

"Okay," Lucia said, nodding with a smile, "My colleagues at Jibillion Inc. are giving me a farewell party tonight. I'll be there after dinner."

"I want to get there too!" said Arthur at once.

"No," Lucia replied simply.

"Why?" Arthur asked, frowning.

"You're the CEO of Davonnis. You can't just show up..." Lucia whispered.

"Can't I just sit there and be quiet?" Arthur asked with a smile, knowing what Lucia meant.

"No!" said Lucia, with her eyes widened. "Even if you sit there, you will affect others!"

If Arthur showed up at the send-off, it'll be everyone else who turned quiet.

"Lucia, are you complimenting me on my aura?" Arthur raised an eyebrow and asked smugly.

"No, I'm talking about your thick skin!" Lucia said as she reached out and pinched both of Arthur's cheeks, as if trying to choke off his smug look.

"I'm not thick-skinned..." Arthur said in a low voice with a devilish smile on his face. As he got closer and closer to Lucia, Juliana coughed loudly.

"Guys, we're still here!" Juliana reminded Arthur after she coughed. The two seemed to be alone when they were together. She recalled how they used to chase each other even when they were not together. Lucia blushed and pushed Arthur's embrace away. "It's a hot day," she said shyly. "Don't get too close, okay?"

In contrast to the aggrieved look on Arthur's face, Juliana and Kane were both overjoyed, and the four people got along well. They looked at each other and thanked each other from the bottom of their hearts, thanks to Lucia for giving them a chance.

"Arthur," Juliana said to Arthur after dinner, "You can tell the whole truth to the public."

Juliana hadn't had a chance to talk about it since Poppy's death, but she remembered putting Arthur in a tough spot. And until now, the public didn't know about her relationship with Arthur, or who the baby really was. It was not fair to Lucia.This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Before Arthur could speak, Lucia smiled and said, "No hurry."

"Why not? The public should know the truth." Juliana said quickly.

"Julia, you know what this means to you when it gets out, don't you?" said Lucia, smiling softly. It was something she was worried about.

Seeing that Lucia was only worried about her reputation, Juliana was touched and more determined. "I know, but I must give you this justice!" She said.

Arthur looked at Lucia, waiting for her to say something. For him, of course, it was best to get the news out as soon as possible.

Lucia looked down and thought for a moment, then said, "Let's just take a moment. Things between Spencer and I haven't been resolved yet. It's too early to announce that I'm with Arthur. I don't want Spencer to make things difficult for Arthur."

Arthur wanted to refute Lucia immediately, for he would not have given Spencer such an opportunity, but seeing Lucia's melancholy, he restrained himself and said to Juliana,

"Lucia is right. Let's put it on hold for a while. When we get it all sorted out, we can go public with whatever we want."

Arthur tightened his grip on Lucia's hand and silently told her his determination. Lucia looked up and smiled at Arthur. Their hearts were connected, and everything was more than words.

Juliana couldn't resist after hearing Arthur say that, but Kane muttered, "I'd like to go public as soon as possible."

Juliana was now Arthur's fiancee, and her son was Arthur's son. Aside from Lucia, Kane was probably the one who wanted the truth to come out.

When Juliana heard Kane's words, she raised her hand and patted Kane on the arm with a smile in her eyes.

Kane's heart skipped a beat and he smiled. Well, he was willing to be patient.

At 7:00 pm, Arthur drove Lucia to a karaoke bar where employees of Jibillion Inc were throwing her a farewell party. After opening the car door for Lucia, Arthur made a last-ditch attempt, "Are you sure you don't want me to come?"

"I really can't," said Lucia, smiling as she took Arthur's hand. "Wait for me at home."

Arthur was pleased with Lucia's last words. He leaned over and gently kissed her on the lips, urging her to drink less before letting go and watching her enter the KTV. However, Lucia did not know that Arthur did not leave after she entered the KTV. Instead, he got in the car and turned on the air conditioner. He'll be waiting for her.

Lucia found the place based on the number provided by Nia. She thought she'd be here half an hour early to greet everyone, but as soon as she opened the door, a small cannon went off, and a shiny piece of silver fell. Lucia was shocked, but after seeing the smiling faces of her colleagues, she couldn't help but smile.

It turned out that they had already come here.

Nia stood at the front and waited for the cannon to fire before coming over and excitedly saying, "Lucy, aren't you surprised?"

"Yes, it's a surprise. I was going to greet you earlier, but I didn't expect you to be here already," said Lucia with a smile as she greeted her colleagues who kept saying hello to her. "Everyone wanted to give you a surprise. They met up early. It was all worth it to see your surprised smile," Nia explained with a smile, and there was a hint of flattery in her words.

Lucia didn't pay much attention to Nia's words, and she was very grateful to hear her say that, because Lucia's arrival would be a huge climax. Her colleagues came over to toast Lucia, and many would be very reluctant to part with her. Nia was kind enough to block a lot of alcohol for her, so at the end of the night, Lucia drank even less than Nia.

The farewell party was different from the usual group meetings. Everyone was having a good time. After a while, many people got drunk. Nia took the opportunity to sit next to Lucia while she was still sober. "Lucy, I will really miss you." Nia's face turned red and she meant what she said.

"I can't bear to part with you either," Lucia replied with a smile. Despite the relationship between the two, Nia had indeed done a lot for her, especially when it came to taking care of Theodore. Lucia was grateful.

Hearing what Lucia said, Nia felt much more confident. She knew that if she didn't open her mouth, she wouldn't have a chance.
