She is a CEO by George Chapman

Lucia listened to Nia talking about the change in public opinion. They chatted happily, but did not notice someone gazing at them in the corner of the cafe from time to time.

Jacob didn't expect that he would be so lucky today. He didn't want to be bothered by Poppy, so he went out to drink coffee alone at noon with the excuse of meeting a client. But unexpectedly, he bumped into Lucia.

Moreover, Arthur and Eduard were not present, and her assistant who didn't fear threatening beside her was negligible.

During this time, Jacob had been looking for opportunities to ask Lucia to meet privately, because he wanted to know what her plans were after coming back.

Though he had speculated that she might not tell him the truth, he would like to give it a shot. Because this way he could...

His eyes were fixated on Lucia. Even though the two were far away, Jacob could still see her stunning smile. Even he himself didn't realize how greedy his face was when he saw that smile.

Lucia was forced to suspend her job because of the scandal. Jacob couldn't reach her through the company. After all kinds of inquiries, he finally found her private number. Unfortunately, he was blocked every time he called. Jacob was about to give up until he met her today by chance.

Watching Lucia's every move intently, Jacob was like a viper lurking in the grass, waiting for the right moment to capture his prey in one fell swoop.

The lunch break was almost over, Lucia had free time, but Nia still had to go back to work. She stood up and said goodbyes to Lucia before leaving. Lucia had not finished her coffee, so she was staying.

This was a golden opportunity!

After Nia completely left the cafe and disappeared into the crowd of people on the street, Jacob stood up and even deliberately avoided the route on which he would be discovered by Lucia, choosing to approach her after the detour.

But when Jacob walked over without saying hello and sat down in the seat opposite Lucia, she didn't look surprised at all, and even sipped a cup of coffee, lowered her eyes, and asked.
