She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 89

In the afternoon, Arthur had to go back to the company in a hurry, and Juliana took advantage of the situation to propose that she wanted to go shopping, and took the opportunity to ask Kane out.

Juliana set the meeting place at the city's museum. Kane was not surprised at all. After the two met, Juliana did not rush to express her intention to ask him out, but asked him to accompany her for a walk. Athegate was a famous ancient capital. There were many antiquities displayed in the museum. After walking down afternoon, Juliana was full of interest, and Kane was not boring to accompany her.

Looking at Juliana, who explained the origin of a certain cultural relic to him, and her words were more precise and detailed than the tour guide. Kane had sincere admiration in his heart. If only Poppy could be as lively and cheerful as her.

"Why are you staring at me?" Juliana asked with a shy smile when she caught Kane's gaze.

"I'm thinking you didn't ask me out just to accompany you to the museum, right?" Kane mentioned the topic by the way.

The smile on Juliana's face faded a little, and she replied, "I saw Lucia today."

"Really?" Kane didn't take the initiative to ask about that, waiting for Juliana to express her feelings about Lucia herself.

"What do you want me to do if I promise to help Poppy?" Juliana probed.

Out of professional habit, as soon as Juliana said this, Kane immediately sensed the difference, and it was right to be preconceived.

"The specifics are up for debate. After all, it's not a trivial matter. But you can rest assured that it won't be a nuisance." Kane assured against his conscience.

Juliana narrowed her eyes. She wasn't a fool. It would be hurtful to break up a couple, but... she couldn't just watch Arthur being used without knowing it.

"Have you made up your mind?" Juliana's thoughts were very easy to guess. Kane knew that she must have doubts if she didn't talk to Poppy directly, so he asked,

"Still considering it. I don't want to hurt Arthur." She knew Arthur's doting on Lucia, so she answered ambiguously.

Sure enough, she was a cautious woman. Kane sighed inwardly, and immediately remembered that Poppy wanted him to get in touch with Juliana, so he took the opportunity to mention,

"It's impossible for Arthur to accompany you every day when you're back. If you don't mind, you can find me when you have time, and I'll show you around Athegate."

"As a lawyer, you should be very busy, right?" Juliana turned to look at Kane. Her eyes were gleaming with a dim light.

She wasn't sure if Kane's proposal was for her or to help Poppy.

"Life isn't just about work," Kane said with a smile and his eyes looked gentle.

No one knew when he can say things that went against his heart so casually.

Kane didn't know that his words made Juliana touched, and Juliana dissipated her doubts and smiled frankly.

The two agreed to meet again in a few days, when Juliana would give Kane an accurate answer, and then Juliana took a taxi directly to Fragranerde Hall, Arthur's villa. When she got there, she was greeted by a butler, and Arthur should be at Lucia's place.

Looking at the empty villa, a trace of displeasure rose in Juliana's heart. Was that woman so important?

Juliana didn't receive a call from Arthur until 7:00 p.m. He asked her if she wanted to accompany him to a charity auction held in the city. Juliana asked sourly,

"Aren't you accompanied by Lucia. Do you still need me?"

"She's coming with her boss tonight." Arthur's voice sounded helpless.

"So I'm your second mate?" Juliana teased with jealousy.

"No, you're at a low level," Arthur said mercilessly.

"Arthur, dare to say that? I have to go tonight! I'll show you how glamorous I am!" Juliana ground her teeth an responded. The exchange of words between the two made her mood much better.

Not long after hanging up, Arthur came back with the dress and make-up team ordered for Juliana. Juliana stared at him and snorted proudly and went upstairs to change her clothes. After changing, she was really amazing. Because having been engaged in outdoor work for a long time, Juliana's complexion was healthy and tanned, which was different from the traditional domestic aesthetics. This complexion was matched with the yellow dress that Arthur prepared for her.

"Our Julia has grown up too." Looking at the slender Juliana, Arthur sighed with emotion in a brother tone.

Juliana glared at Arthur fiercely, but her heart was sweet. After the two were ready, they went out to the party. Tonight's charity auction party was scheduled to be held in a five-star luxury hotel in the city. The initiator was the Red Love Foundation. The theme was caring for women with breast cancer, so the venue was dominated by pink, which looked quite romantic.

On the way here, Juliana specifically asked Arthur if he had been accompanying Lucia to forget her just now. Arthur replied of course not. Today, the company had to deal with important matters. After he left the company, he went home directly. Juliana heard this and really felt comfortable that she had not been ignored.

As soon as they entered the venue, Arthur and Juliana naturally attracted attention, especially when they appeared in Athegate for the first time. And Juliana, who appeared as Arthur's female companion, attracted countless curious eyes. Unfortunately, due to Arthur's identity and stern behavior, no people dare to explore more.

They didn't pay attention to other people's eyes. It was rare that as soon as they entered the banquet hall, Arthur and Juliana immediately looked around the venue with their eyes, looking for Lucia with a different purpose.

There was no need to search for her deliberately. Among the crowded people, there was a light flickering, releasing the charm that everyone can't reach.

In one corner of the banquet hall, Lucia was by Eduard's side at the moment.

Tonight, she changed her style from the past, wearing an improved knee-length cheongsam. The whole cheongsam was based on blue as the main tone, with exquisite embroidery texture, which looked graceful and luxurious.

Coupled with Lucia's already impressive appearance and figure, even if she just stood there and didn't move, she was like in the painting, not to mention she had long black wavy hair gathered on one side of her shoulders. The beautiful profile of her face was fully revealed, and among the women in dresses, she was the only one who exuded a light that cannot be ignored.

No one knew if she felt something. Lucia suddenly turned her head to look at where Arthur and Juliana were. After seeing them, she smiled and looked generous.

Even Juliana, who was also a woman, couldn't help her heart beat faster after seeing Lucia's smile.

She was so charming.
