She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 176

In the Davonnis Corp lobby, Arthur met Juliana, who was walking in.

Arthur greeted her, blocked her way and asked, "Julia, why did you go to the drugstore?"

Juliana didn't seem to expect Arthur to come looking for her, she grabbed her bag nervously and mumbled, "Nothing, I just feel a little sick to get some medicine."

Arthur frowned without a word, reached out, and dragged her towards the elevator.

"How did you know I went to the drugstore?"

Arthur looked askance at her without saying anything. At this time Kyle walked in through the door, and looked into Juliana.

Juliana turned her head to stare at Arthur and asked, "You had Kyle follow me?"

"I had him follow you because I was afraid something would happen to you." Arthur explained.

"Oh, really?" Juliana said unhappily and glared in Kyle's direction again. Kyle hurriedly stopped in his tracks, not daring to follow them to the elevator.

Taking Juliana into the elevator that only he could take, Arthur pressed the top floor. When the elevator slowly rose, he asked Juliana, "What exactly did you buy at the drugstore?"

Juliana leaned in the corner with her head buried but didn’t say a word.

"Julia ..." Arthur felt mixed feelings. He wanted to get a clear answer from Juliana.

"You’ve known all about it, haven’t you?" Juliana responded.

Arthur got the hint, his eyes dark with an unfathomable emotion. He looked at Juliana for a moment but did not know what to say.

He wanted to say that he didn’t want this child as a result of a one-night stand, but he was afraid that his speech would hurt Juliana.

"I know you don't want it. I bought a pregnancy test because my period was late, and it doesn't necessarily mean I'm really pregnant." As if sensing Arthur's emotions, Juliana lowered her eyes and said self-deprecatingly.

Arthur knew his attitude had hurt Juliana, but he couldn't say anything to comfort her. He couldn't say against his will that he didn't mean it. There was no love between them, and if they did have a child, how would they get along with each other? How was the future of that innocent new life?

Arthur’s silence made Juliana raise her head, her eyes full of sorrow, and she said to him, "Can't you even say something perfunctory to me?"

Arthur was silent and looked away.

"I got it. I'll give you the result later," Juliana said stubbornly, and as soon as the elevator opened, she rushed out and ran to the bathroom. Arthur came out of the elevator and looked at her figure with mixed feelings.

There was one thing he was sure of. He had a beloved woman and a beloved son that were unforgettable and irreplaceable in his life.

Arthur leaned against the wall outside the bathroom with his eyes closed. It was hard to tell what he was thinking, only his knitted brows revealed some emotions.

Finally, Juliana came out of the bathroom, clutching a pink pregnancy test in her hand, her face full of misery.

Arthur didn't say anything, he faced Juliana and waited for an answer.

Juliana looked up into Arthur's eyes for a long time before slowly spreading her palm out. Two colored lines appeared on the strip.
