She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 157

After finishing speaking, Arthur reached out to hold Juliana and took her back. It turned out that they had walked out of the Sherman manor and reached the road.

After returning to the Sherman manor and taking the key from the attendant, Arthur and Juliana got in the car.

As soon as they were seated, Arthur said to Juliana, "I'll drive you back first."

"Are you going to find Lucia?" Juliana asked.

"Yes," Arthur responded affirmatively. He must go to find her!

This time, Juliana didn't raise any objection but nodded. Appearing calm on the outside, she was ecstatic on the inside.

Go to find her. Just go...

After sending Juliana back to the villa, it was the wee hours of the morning and everything became silent.

Arthur knew that Lucia should not be asleep. If she knew it all, she would be unable to fall asleep. If she did not know it, she should be waiting for him.

After Juliana got off the car, Arthur turned the car around and drove to Lucia's home.

Juliana stood at the door and watched his car leave. The next second, she took out her phone.

After a while, the phone was connected and Poppy said excitedly, "How's it going? Is it done?"

"Yep," Juliana answered with a smile on her lips.

"Great!" Poppy was so excited that she wanted to exclaim, but she just reminded Juliana, "From now on, you should pretend to be open-minded and pitiful as if you did not care. Only in this way can you arouse Arthur's guilt and sympathy. We'll put on a show for them next month."

"Got it." Juliana hung up the phone and went back to the villa.

When Juliana was bathing, she looked at her naked body in the mirror. All she thought about was the scene where she made out with Kane. She had never felt so comfortable and happy before.

At this moment, Arthur was driving a Mercedes Benz in the city like crazy.

When he finally arrived at Jardín de Nieve, Arthur found that there were no lights in Lucia's house, so he quickly called her, but her phone was turned off.

His heart contracted and he hurried upstairs to knock on her house door, but no one answered, and he even woke up Lucia's neighbor.

"Who is it? It's so late at night." The neighbor rubbed his eyes, opened the door, and came out to question Arthur.

"Mr. Werner, I'm sorry." Arthur often visited Lucia's house, so he met Lucia's neighbor before.

He said, "I don't know if Lucia is at home. I'm a bit worried."

"Oh, Mr. Davies," Mr. Werner said with a smile when he saw the person in front of him clearly. "She didn't answer the door, so I guess she's not at home. You can go to the security guards at the gate and ask them. They should know it."

Arthur thanked him and left, leaving Mr. Werner in confusion.

Arthur knew from the security that Lucia didn't come back tonight. With doubts gnawing at him, he had a vague feeling that Lucia must have known it.

But where could he find her now?

He tried to call her again but to no avail. Arthur drove his car around the city. He went to the riverside park, and every other place he went for a stroll with Lucia, but he couldn't find her.

In the middle of the night, the streets of the city were quiet. The long shadows on the floor looked creepy in the light. Occasionally, some high-speed cars sped by. All of this did not shake Arthur's mind to find Lucia.

'Lucia, where on earth have you been?' he thought.

When he was driving, an idea came to his mind. Without hesitation, Arthur turned the car around and drove in a certain direction. Tonight, Eduard had been with Lucia. If Lucia was badly hurt, he would not sit by and do nothing!

For the first time, Arthur felt it was a good thing that Eduard was with Lucia. Because of it, he knew where to find Lucia, that was, Eduard's home in Royal Tower Apartments!

At four o'clock in the morning, Arthur rang Eduard's doorbell.

The doorbell kept ringing through the luxury apartment. Wearing pajamas, Eduard walked towards the door angrily while complaining about the one who was playing a prank on him.

When he opened the door and saw the comer, he became quiet at once.

"Where is Lucia?" asked Arthur coldly as soon as the door was opened.

"Well, just now I was wondering who was so wicked. It turns out to be you," Eduard sneered.

He deliberately stretched his arm to block Arthur's way and restrict his view. Unfortunately, he was not as tall as Arthur, so it was a failed attempt.

He continued to say with sarcasm, "You should sleep at home in the middle of the night. Why do you come to my place for Lucia?"

"Cut the crap. I know Lucia is here!" Arthur felt unhappy about the fact that Lucia spent the night in Eduard's house, so he said in an unkind voice, "I want to see her!"

"Is this the way you ask for a favor?" Eduard blocked Arthur's way to prevent him from entering.

"Get out of my way!" Anxious to see Lucia, Arthur grabbed Eduard's shoulder and pushed him aside, but Eduard held onto the wall to prevent Arthur from getting his wish.

"Mr. Davies, don't forget this is my house!" When he was almost pushed away, he said angrily, "Even if Lucia is here, it doesn't mean you can see her as you want!"

Judging from Eduard's attitude toward him, Arthur was sure that Lucia must have seen something.

In anxiety, he pushed Eduard hard and made Eduard stagger. Then he entered the apartment smoothly.

"Lucia! Where are you? Lucia!" As soon as Arthur entered it, he shouted anxiously and looked around.

He didn't find Lucia in the living room, so he went to search the guest rooms one by one. Eduard followed him angrily.

"Arthur, you've gone too far. This is my house. How dare you behave so rudely in my place!" Eduard was furious at Arthur's rudeness.

Arthur could not find Lucia and got agitated. He turned around, glared at Eduard, and asked, "Where is Lucia?"

"Arthur, you still have the nerve to see her?" Eduard was no less angry than Arthur.

"It's business between Lucia and me!" Arthur didn't want to talk to Eduard. He just wanted to see Lucia as soon as possible, even if he had to kneel at her feet. He really wanted to make amends.

"Is it?" Eduard sneered, "Shouldn't it be between you, Lucia and Juliana?"

Eduard's words brought the deep shame within Arthur to light. "Eduard!" Arthur strode to Eduard, grabbed his collar with both hands, and said in an exasperated voice, "You are in no place to meddle in the business between Lucia and me!"

"Yep, I am in no place," Eduard stared at Arthur without fear and said coldly, "but I was the one with her when she felt bad. Arthur, where were you, and what were you doing at that time?"
