She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 124

With her back to Arthur, Lucia breathed hard and restrained herself. She was afraid that she would lose control, turn around and throw herself into his warm arms.

After getting in the car, they kept silent on the way to the famous restaurant in the city, 'Serenity', where they were going to have lunch.

Arriving at the destination, after getting off the car, Lucia suddenly stopped Arthur. She looked into his eyes and said, "I'll assist you later."

Lucia had been thinking about it all the way.

"Really?" With a faint smile on his lips, Arthur stretched out his hand to Lucia and said, "Let me hold your hand."

Looking at the perfect smile on Arthur's lips, Lucia didn't dare to guess what it implied. Then she put her hand on his.

They hadn't held hands for a long time.

The moment they felt each other's skin, they were shocked, but they tried their best to keep their cool.

Holding hands, they looked ahead and didn't dare look at each other's expressions at the moment.

As they walked into the private room, the restaurant was crowded with people who were chatting and laughing constantly, but Lucia and Arthur were enjoying the moments of intimacy and didn't seem to hear anything.

When the two stood together, they were an eye-catching couple. Many people immediately stopped chatting and looked over, with envy in their eyes. Some even doubted if they were invited by the owner to attract clients. Or such a perfect couple wouldn't walk hand in hand for no reason.

Lucia and Arthur had been accustomed to the envious gazes of others.

Lucia followed Arthur to the box door. When she was about to push the door, Lucia looked up at Arthur. Seeing him staring fixedly at her, she quickly lowered her head and reached out to push the door.

As soon as the door was opened, a small figure rushed out in an instant. Before Lucia could see what had happened, Theodore held her legs and called her mommy in a choked voice, which made her heart tremble.

"Babe..." She immediately loosened her grip on Arthur's hand, squatted down, and held Theodore in her arms. Tears welled up in an instant.

"Mommy, why don't you come to find me?" Theodore had been tough and had never cried though he missed his mom very much. But when he saw Lucia, the feeling of grievance immediately gushed out, and he made complaints in a choked voice.

"I'm sorry, babe. I'm so busy with work. I promise I won't do that again." Though she didn't do anything wrong, Lucia was still guilt-ridden and held Theodore tight.

Seeing them holding each other and crying, Arthur, who was standing beside them, was troubled by very mixed emotions.

"Teddy, be good, no more crying. Your mommy is with you now!" Tears welled up in Sophie's eyes when she saw the reunion of Lucia and her son. Knowing Lucia's feelings of grievance and helplessness, Sophie hurried to comfort them.

"Teddy, do not cry. Mommy will never leave you again." Lucia held back her tears, raised her hand to wipe tears from Theodore's face, and comforted him in a soft voice.

"Mommy, you promise." Theodore stared at Lucia with tearful eyes.

"I promise!" Lucia promised seriously and even made a pinky swear with Theodore. Only then did they stop crying.

Holding Theodore in her arms, Lucia stood up. When she was about to take out a handkerchief to wipe her tears, Arthur beside her reached out to wipe her tears away.

Looking at the sad look in his eyes, Lucia was uncertain whether Arthur faked being considerate. After all, there was another man in this room that could not be ignored.

"Nice to meet you, Uncle Edwin. I'm Lucia." Lucia turned to look at the handsome and calm man sitting at the main seat and greeted him politely.

"You're welcome, Lucia. Don't stand at the door. Sit down, please," Edwin replied with a smile.

Lucia felt nothing, but Arthur and Sophie raised their eyebrows at the same time.

Yesterday, even in front of them, Edwin still called Lucia 'Miss Webb'.

Today, Edwin just met Lucia less than five minutes ago, but he changed his address for Lucia.

They knew well about Edwin's character, so they knew that Edwin had a good first impression of Lucia.

Arthur and Sophie were right.

In the eyes of Edwin, women should first attach importance to their family, and second, they should be both talented and virtuous.

He saw the reunion of Lucia and Theodore just now. He could tell that Lucia was an elegant, smart, and excellent woman who had great career success and deep love for her son. That was exactly what Edwin admired.

They sat down one by one. Edwin wanted Theodore to sit next to him, but Theodore clung to his mother and his small hands gripped the hem of her clothes. Then Edwin gave an understanding smile and gave up that idea.

During lunch, Lucia and Edwin had a good talk. Lucia was talented and capable. Her conversation with Edwin showed a lot of her foresight, which Edwin admired.

Besides, Edwin had met Lucia's tutor several times, so they had more to talk about.

They were chatting, totally ignoring others in the private room.

"Edwin," Sophie and Arthur didn't say anything for a long time. Sophie pretended to complain, "Can you give Lucia a break? Lucia hasn't had anything yet. Do not starve Lucia, okay?"

At those words, Edwin realized that he hadn't picked up the knife and fork. Lucia, neither. She just politely chatted with him. Edwin admired Lucia's politeness in his mind and said, "Lucia, it's so great to talk to you. I even forgot to have lunch. Come on, let's have some food."

Lucia nodded with a smile. Seeing Edwin pick up the knife and fork, she started to have food.

Theodore, who was sitting next to them, raised his head and said to his grandfather, "Grandpa, see? My mommy is the best mommy in the world. Am I right?"

"Yes, you are right," Edwin replied kindly.

It was hard to get praised by Edwin. Lucia made it but she was not happy.

"Lucia, you have to go to work later, so eat more. You've lost a lot of weight after working overtime for a few days." Seeing Lucia's dim eyes, Arthur immediately put some of her favorite dishes on her plate. He could only take this opportunity to show his concern for her.

"Thank you," Lucia blurted out.

But Edwin frowned at her words.

It was not strange for a man to put some food on his girlfriend's plate. Was it necessary for Lucia to thank Arthur?

Sophie had been observing Edwin's reaction all the time. She was afraid that he might find out something. Seeing him frown, she got anxious and smiled to say, "Lucia, as your boyfriend, Arthur should take care of you. Why bother to thank him?"

Lucia got the hint immediately and looked up at Edwin. Then she quickly put some food on Arthur's plate, saying, "Auntie Sophie, I thanked him because I wanted him to care about me more in the future."

After saying that, Lucia winked at Sophie playfully. Her smart look was really pleasing.

Seeing that, Edwin stopped frowning and chuckled.
