She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 168

When Kyle returned to his seat, Juliana asked him, "Kyle, what did Arthur say to you just now? Why did he suddenly ask Spencer to come to the office?"

Kyle smiled and said, "Nothing special, Mr. Davies had a small talk with Master Spencer and then asked me to take care of you."

"Did he say that?" Juliana asked.

"Well, Mr. Davies has been busy with work lately. He was afraid you might have the feeling of being ignored, so he asked me to pay more attention to you." Kyle felt Juliana's expression was a bit odd.

"Well, then please pay more attention to me," Juliana laughed and said jokingly.

Kyle smiled and started to concentrate on his work, while Juliana was seated and dazed, thinking about the text message she had just received from Spencer.

Shortly after Arthur sent Spencer downstairs, Juliana received a text message from him.

He asked her to meet him at a nearby cafe in half an hour. Juliana didn't know what Spencer's intentions were, and Kyle didn't say much about the dialogue between Arthur and Spencer, so she was hesitant to go.

Just when Juliana was thinking about something, Arthur came out of the office with his jacket. When he passed by the secretaries’ desks, he looked at Juliana but didn't say anything, Juliana was upset and called out to him.

"Arthur, where are you going?"

Arthur stopped and replied, "I'm going to meet a client. I won't be back this afternoon. I'll let Kyle take you back later."

Arthur would think about they once had sex and feel uncomfortable whenever he saw her.

Juliana asked without thinking, "Can I go with you?"

Arthur looked at Juliana and said, "No, I have an appointment with Mr. Harper; it's not convenient for you to go."

"Okay," Juliana said with a feeling of loss, her eyes cast down.

Arthur stood for a while, and left without saying anything.

Juliana sat in her seat and clenched her fist. She felt unhappier that Arthur gave her a runaround.

Then she said to Kyle, "Kyle, I'm not feeling well. Can I go back and rest?"

"You're not feeling well? I'll take you back right now!" Kyle said as soon as he heard it. He stood up in a hurry.

Juliana raised a faint smile and said softly, "No need. Arthur just left. You should stay here to take care of the company business. I can just take a taxi back by myself."

Kyle did have important papers to sort out at hand, so he asked, "Can you really go back alone?"

"Sure," Juliana said as she stood up and picked up her bag, "I'm just a little bit dizzy; I just need to go home and rest for a while. Do what you got to do."

Kyle said nothing more, so Juliana left the company, but instead of going home, she turned left and went to the cafe where Spencer had asked to meet her.

There was a string of wind chimes hanging at the entrance of the cafe, and when she pushed the door in, wind chimes would ring. Juliana was pregnant now and moody, so she felt much better hearing the wind chimes, and a faint smile lit up her face when she saw Spencer.

"Spencer, why do you ask me out?" Sitting opposite Spencer, Juliana asked him with a smile.

"Well, I'm going back to San Francisco in a few days and wanted to say goodbye to you," Spencer replied with a smile as he shoved a cup of coffee he had ordered to Juliana.

"You are leaving?" Juliana didn't care about it, but she still said, "Why not stay in the country for a little longer?"

"It's time for me to go back," Spencer replied softly, smiled at Juliana who was sipping her coffee, and asked casually, "Julia, are you curious about what Arthur and I just talked about?"

Juliana stared up at Spencer, with curiosity on her face. She wanted to, but neither Arthur nor Kyle told her the truth.

Spencer said frankly, "Arthur found out that I was helping Jacob to get projects from Davonnis Corp, so he hinted me to leave Athegate as soon as possible."

Spencer's words made Juliana freeze for a few moments. Realizing what he had said, Juliana stared at him with wide eyes and said, "Spencer, why were you doing that?"

Juliana never expected Spencer to readily reveal the fact that he had teamed up with an outsider against his cousin.

"To break him and Lucia up," Spencer told Juliana about his purpose.

Juliana stared blankly at Spencer, feeling it hard to read his mind.

Why did he want to break up Arthur and Lucia?

"You must be very curious ..." Spencer's lips curled up into a smile and he said softly, "Someone asked me to break them up. That’s why I returned home. I work with Jacob to let Arthur understand no good can come of his being together with Lucia."

"Who asked you?" Juliana got the point and asked.

"Lucia's aunt." Spencer did not mention the deal between Esmae and him, and just ttoldJuliana that Esmae disagreed with the love relationship between Lucia and Arthur, so Esmae asked him to break them up. Besides, working with Jacob was a last resort.

After hearing Spencer's words, Juliana frowned in deep thought, and after a while, she said, "Is that why you encouraged me to stay with Arthur?"

Juliana was not happy. Was she also being used by him?

"What I once said was my truth," Spencer shook his head and stared at Juliana seriously, "Both of your families thought Arthur and you should be bound by marriage ... Well, If you and Arthur were together, Lucia would stand no chance to get close to Arthur again."

"It's true that you are using me!" Juliana frowned, stared fixedly at Spencer, and asked, "You should not have worked with Jacob to be against Arthur, even if you want to split them up. It’s too much, isn’t it?"

Juliana doubted Spencer's character, speculating why he asked her out and confessed himself.

"Do you have any other way?" Spencer chuckled and said, "I let Jacob be against Arthur for Lucia’s sake to make Arthur realize dating Lucia is a wrong decision. But Arthur is so determined and even looks into me. I can do nothing but take the blame on myself."

Juliana didn't express her opinion on it, but asked him, "Why did you tell me this?"
