She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 61

Jacob's smile froze for a moment when he heard Lucia's question, then he asked, pretending to be natural, "Why do you ask that?"

Why? Because he was evil by nature, of course!

Lucia stared at Jacob and continued coldly, "You don't ask me out just to talk about domestic trivia, do you?"

After two times of meeting, Lucia still remembered clearly that he attacked her with bad words, so today Jacob's smile must be fishy!

"You're thinking too much." This phrase had almost become Jacob's usual excuse in the face of a woman's questioning.

"Really?" Lucia sneered in her heart, then stood up and made a move to leave, saying, "I'll leave first then."

"No way!" Jacob immediately opened his mouth to oppose. He used up a chance to ask her out alone. Just sitting across from each other for less than 20 minutes, how he was willing to!?

Lucia wanted to test Jacob to see if he still had a purpose, and now that he was so determined to oppose it, which immediately confirmed her thoughts. She leaned back in her chair, saying again impatiently, "Then say something. No need to beat around the bush."

Lucia's attitude towards Jacob can be described as impatient to the extreme, but it was such a difference between before and after that made Jacob feel addicted.

Lucia was once so obedient. For those traps that were designed by Poppy and him step by step, with only his words, she will be rushed to go to the stake even without any bait. Her once mushy attitude made him annoyed before.

But now, Lucia looked at him with only coldness in her eyes, and every word she said revealed her irritation and impatience that was extremely incompatible with her present virtue, which again and again stimulated the masochist hidden in the dark side of Jacob's heart.

Jacob was born in the countryside and lived with relatives after his parents died in their young ages. The beatings he received as a child were still deeply rooted in his spine even after many years. And he was afraid, even he didn't realize that, he had been used to that kind of beatings and had hidden a pathetic slavery and masochism in his heart.

Poppy was manic, violent and cynical. Because Jacob liked her domineering temperament, they decided to be together. But after a long time, Jacob found that Poppy's virtue was not enough to support her being capricious. Gradually, she became irrational and nonsense.

What was more, Lucia was different now. She had grown up to be the kind of ideal partner Jacob had been looking for since he was a child.

Last time, Eduard said that he was jealous. Jacob suddenly figured out that he was annoyed when he saw Lucia. It was not only because she could threaten his position today, but also because there were other men around her. Jacob had the darkest idea of all.

Anyway, he was tired of Poppy now. If he can get Lucia again and get rid of the domineering and cynical Poppy, he didn't have to worry about Lucia stole JTP Group, and he can have Lucia. What a perfect outcome that she was once his.

The plan he implemented this time, although ostensibly he would push Lucia to the edge of the cliff of public opinion, he actually would make Arthur give up upon her forever!

"Do you think I couldn't get you out here just to have a casual chat?" Jacob deliberately said so first to test Lucia's response to his display of closeness.

Lucia's most immediate reaction to hearing Jacob's words was to curl her lips, and the curve of her lips showed the sarcasm in her heart again and again. She didn't even want to open her mouth to respond to Jacob's flirtatious words.

Lucia's reaction was among Jacob's expectations. He said calmly, "I use a chance to ask you out. You can feel free to guess my intentions, but until I say you can leave, you just sit here properly, even if you don't want to talk to me."

Lucia looked at Jacob askance, and really began to lower her head not to talk to him.

After a while, a cup of charcoal-roasted special Blue Mountain coffee was delivered to Lucia's front. Lucia raised an eyebrow, which was seen by Jacob. He was smug secretly. He noted what she liked to drink last time. But unfortunately, she had been sitting for more than half an hour, and never touched the cup of coffee.

The time passed. Lucia just sat and thought about her own stuff. When she checked the time again, she found that it was almost 10 o'clock, so she raised her eyes and said to Jacob, "It's too late. I'm going back home."

"It's not even 10:00 yet." replied Jacob.

"I have a kid at home. Don't you have Poppy waiting?" Lucia returned lightly, "You've been out so long. She'll not check your whereabouts?"

Lucia remembered that Poppy was very cynical. In order to hide her relationship with Jacob in college, Poppy had a few boyfriends. But even in disguise, her desire to control her boyfriends was very strong. Each relationship had ended in vain.

At the mention of her, Jacob frowned before saying as if emotionally, "Over the years, Poppy's temper is getting worse and worse, and even I can't stand it anymore."

Lucia didn't care about that, but just continued to reply in a light tone, "That's your choice. Well, I'm going back."

When she passed him, Jacob suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist. Lucia frowned and stared down at him, "What else do you want to do?"

Jacob saw that Lucia was really angry, and did not explain anything. He just smiled and let go of her, and then said a brisk goodbye.

Lucia always felt something was wrong, but now she just wanted to get out of here as soon as possible. As soon as Jacob let go, she left the cafe.

After Lucia left, Jacob sat down in his seat

After a while, a few "customers" who had been scattered in various corners of the cafe gathered around him, and there was even his trusted subordinate Samuel Robinson.

"Let me see the photos." Jacob asked the reporter he bribed and Samuel to bring out the camera, and then looked at the photos inside one by one. Just now he let Lucia stayed here for more than an hour so they can take a lot of good photos.

"Good, this one looks like we are talking to each other in love. This one is not bad either. Borrowing a good position ... this one is the best." Jacob referred to the best one when he deliberately pulled Lucia's wrist, and Lucia lowered her head to look at him. For people who didn't know the truth, this photo, at first glance, looked like two people were clinging.
