She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 98

The process of the opening ceremony was carried out one by one. After all the external activities were over, the next thing was the celebration banquet. It was directly set in the hotel next to the venue. It was also the most popular social site for corporate tycoons.

At the banquet, Juliana's behavior confused Lucia again, because she started talking to Eduard actively, and even changed her previous silence. Now that she was standing beside them who were having a pleasant conversation, and it seemed that she was superfluous.

But seeing Juliana looking happy, Lucia was naturally happy too.

The banquet gradually reached its climax. The guests were getting a little drunk, not to mention Lucia and Eduard, even Juliana drank a little red wine due to the occasion. Seeing Lucia's blushing face, Juliana suddenly said she wanted to go to toilet and asked Lucia to accompany her.

Watching Lucia and Juliana leaving together, Eduard sighed, "The friendship between women is really strange. They even go the bathroom together."

Lucia and Juliana came to the hotel's ladies' bathroom together. Juliana entered the cubicle, and Lucia was just about to take this opportunity to wake himself up from drunkenness. She waited patiently for Juliana while using the water to keep herself sober. Suddenly, she heard uncomfortable moan.

Was it Julia?

Lucia hurried to the cubicle and knocked on the door, asking anxiously, "Julia, what's the matter with you?"

The door opened gently, and Juliana held her stomach against the wall, looking uncomfortable face. She looked up at Lucia with difficulty and said, "Lucia, my stomach suddenly cramps so badly. It's so uncomfortable."

Seeing this, Lucia hurried over and hugged her, feeling worried, "Why is there a sudden stomach cramp? Did you eat something wrong just now?"

"Maybe..." Juliana's face looked painful. She endured the pain and said to Lucia, "Lucia, I'll take a rest by myself. You still have something to do. Go back first."

"No!" Lucia refused immediately and felt distressed by Juliana's thoughtfulness, "I promised Arthur to take good care of you. How can I leave you alone? Are you still able to walk?"

Juliana lowered her head and said in a hoarse voice, "I can barely walk, but my stomach hurts."

Lucia supported Juliana for a while, then said, "Isn't this a hotel? Well, let's get a room right away. You can rest in the room first. I'll get Arthur's family doctor. He'll have a solution of it."

"There is no better way...." Juliana's voice still sounded painful. She raised her head and gave Lucia a wry smile, "Sorry to let you do this."

Lucia shook her head, and then came to the front desk with Juliana. After checking in, the two went to the room on the eighth floor together. After entering the room, Lucia helped Juliana, who was in excruciating pain, to the bed, and just wanted to take out the phone and call the family doctor. Juliana, who was on the bed whispered,

"Lucia, I'm thirsty. Can you pour me a glass of hot water?"

"Okay, I'll do it right away." Lucia took back her phone when she heard the words and went to pour water for Juliana. When she just turned around, She didn't realize Juliana's pained expression disappeared and she stared at her every move closely.

"The water is coming..." Lucia poured a cup of hot water and came to support Juliana to feed her, but saw Juliana shake her head.

"Lucia, I'm afraid it's hot. Can you drink first to test the water temperature for me?" Juliana frowned and said pitifully.

Juliana's trust in her made Lucia have no time to think twice. She took a sip of hot water and felt that the water temperature was just right. After saying "it's not hot", she wanted to let Juliana drink it, but the next second an accident happened. Juliana's hand which took the water shook, the whole glass of water spilled on the edge of the bed.

Lucia didn't have any reproach to her. She knew that Juliana was feeling uncomfortable, so she stood up and wanted to pour her a new glass of water. But when she stood up, her body swayed unsteadily, and before she became suspicious, Juliana grabbed her wrist and said softly,

"Lucia, don't bother. I don't want to drink anymore."

"Aren't you drinking?" Lucia frowned slightly. Didn't she say she was thirsty?

"No, Lucia, you look a little weird..." Juliana said so, staring at Lucia.

"Is it weird...?" Lucia repeated Juliana's words like a murmur, and the next second, she felt dizzy. Juliana's face became a little blurry in her eyes. She rubbed her temples doubtfully, and continued to murmur, "Your face becomes a little blurry. I feel a little dizzy..."

"You drank too much just now." Seeing that Lucia gradually lost sobriety, the uncomfortable expression on Juliana's face gradually faded, and her voice was hard and cold, "You shouldn't drink so much."

"Maybe..." Lucia became more and more dizzy. She didn't even realize that she was unable to stand up. She closed her eyes and fell towards Juliana who dodged to the side quickly, without a trace of stomach cramps.

"Finally fell asleep." As soon as Lucia fell down, Juliana quickly got out of bed. After taking Lucia's whole body onto the bed, she muttered to herself coldly. If Lucia didn't fall asleep, she wouldn't have the patience to deal with her.

Walking to the door, Juliana met her partner, Poppy!

"Is she asleep?" Poppy asked as soon as Juliana opened the door.

"Yes." Juliana turned to look at Lucia on the bed and said so.

"How much did she drink?" Poppy asked worriedly.

"One mouthful. Your anesthetic is so powerful that she fainted in just one mouthful," Juliana stared at Poppy and asked, "Is that just a normal anesthetic?"

Juliana was not an ignorant person. When she was working in Kenya, she often encountered beasts invading the camp. Every time, the guards used anesthesia guns to anesthetize the beasts. To quickly and completely anesthetize a beast, the dose was not small. Just now Lucia only took a sip of the water that Poppy had prepared before, she was completely unconscious, which made her wonder.

"Of course, could it be something else?" Poppy stared at her, as if being provoked by Juliana's suspicion.

"I just asked it." Juliana retracted her gaze and said, "Let her sleep here. I'll find Eduard."

"Okay, then it's up to you." Sensing Juliana's suspicions, Poppy urged her quickly.

Before Juliana left, she deliberately closed the door of the room, and only she had the key card. Although she cooperated with Poppy, she still had a little doubt. But what she didn't know was that, just after she left, Poppy actually took it out of her bag. She took out a door card with the same room number to open the door and entered the room.

Poppy walked into the room, and the already dim light seemed to have grown gloomier as if it had been invaded by darkness.
