She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 205

Poppy gave a wry smile and hurriedly changed the subject. "It's only a month or so before your real due date. Arthur didn't get suspicious, did he?"

When it came to the child, Juliana put on a serious face and said, "No, but Sophie seems a little wary of me. Have you made all the arrangements?"

"Sure, it's not a problem. You gotta keep calm. Don't push Arthur too hard, otherwise, he might get annoyed and also pursue this matter. Then it would be very tricky." Poppy advised.

Juliana looked down in thought.

Until now, no matter how she made a fuss, he never really got angry with her or expressed any suspicion. Would he really get annoyed?

"It's better to be more careful." Seeing that Juliana didn't seem to listen to her words, Poppy continued to remind her.

"Got it, you'd better walk away, in case Arthur sees us together," Juliana said impatiently. Her poor liking to Poppy had long vanished since she knew Poppy was trying to seduce Kane.

Although Poppy was very unhappy with Juliana's attitude, Poppy was aware that Juliana was an important pawn for her, so she just smiled at Juliana before walking away.

Juliana fell silent again, completely unaware that Arthur was looking cautiously at her not far away.

The party continued. Everyone had their own thoughts, and dealt with partners or competitors with a smile. Though it was quite peaceful on the outside, there were a lot of schemes and intrigues.

By the middle of the party, the band, signaled by Spencer, played upbeat dance, and most of the married men entered the dance floor with their wives, while the unmarried men began to invite the shy-faced ladies, and pairs of perfect couples embraced and spun into the central dance floor.

Eduard was never interested in dancing. He was standing outside the dance floor with Lucia and chatting with the person beside him. When Spencer came towards them, Eduard glanced at him and reacted quickly to block in front of Lucia.

"Lucia, can I ask you to dance?" When he came to Eduard, Spencer invited Lucia with a gentle smile.

Eduard felt like he had become invisible.

Spencer was the host tonight. It would humiliate him if she declined. Thus, Lucia came out from behind Eduard leisurely and put her hand on Spencer's.

Spencer smiled and took Lucia's hand. After he put his arm around her waist, he deliberately looked back at Eduard with a friendly yet smug smile on his face

Eduard was so angry that his face turned red.

The softness he felt made him pull her closer to him. He took her into the dance floor in a gentlemanly manner. They looked like a perfect match at first glance, Spencer was handsome, and Lucia was stunning. When they danced together, the surrounding people immediately made a hooray, and the guests who were dancing beside them spontaneously left them a vacant space.

Holding Lucia, Spencer felt satisfied, but Lucia was not so happy.

"Don't go too far." Lowering her voice, Lucia said through clenched teeth. His arm that clasped her waist indicated that he had broken the rules of etiquette between dance partners.

"Too far?" Spencer chuckled. "This is a rare opportunity."

"Jacob is watching. Aren't you afraid he'll have a problem with you?" Lucia deliberately brought up Jacob, hoping that Spencer could restrict himself.

When they reeled, Spencer not only saw Jacob who looked displeased, but also Arthur who was furious.

"Isn't Arthur watching too?" Spencer responded calmly.

Lucia frowned at his words. As she whirled, she also saw Arthur, who was looking at them not far away.

Spencer did it on purpose!

"Is that funny?" Realizing that Spencer was doing it to annoy Arthur, Lucia said resignedly and unhappily.

Spencer didn't reply but held her closer. They were almost pressed against each other. He was sure that Lucia would endure his flirtation on such an occasion, and even his voice became flirtatious.

"Arthur has Juliana keep him company. Jacob is no good. Lucia, don't you think I'm the best for you?"

Lucia frowned tightly and stared at Spencer's slightly smug face for a while. She suddenly took Spencer's hand. When Spencer was slightly surprised and delighted by her action, Lucia's thumb dug into his palm hard. The pain came, and Spencer couldn't help but grimace.

"Lucia, do you have to be so childish?" Enduring the pain, Spencer regained his cool and smiled instead of feeling angry, and he even felt she was cute.

"Yes." Lucia dug her numb harder into his palm. She had worked on increasing her strength to practice karate, and as expected, Spencer frowned again and a look of pain was shown on his face.

"It hurts, doesn't it?" Lucia asked Spencer with a sweet smile.

"It hurts, Lucia, just let go." Everyone around us was watching. Spencer wanted to remain calm and collected, but the pain in his palm was so much that he wondered if it was bleeding.

"If you pester me again, it will hurt more than that!" Lucia stopped smiling and put on a sullen face. Though she had let go of his hand, she warned Spencer in a stern voice.

The pain in his palm was finally eased. Spencer felt secretly relieved. Looking at Lucia who was sharp-eyed in his arms, he did not nod but put on a smile. Apparently, Lucia's movements only strengthened his motives to get her.

Lucia saw Spencer's smile and felt speechless. It was impossible to communicate with a madman.

At this point, the song ended. Lucia stopped, nodded to Spencer, and left the dance floor first. She was afraid that she could not control herself and threw him to the ground.

Spencer stared after Lucia and his smile grew even bigger.

When Lucia came out of the dance floor, Eduard went to her and asked, "Why did Spencer look so bad just now?"

"Hold out your hand," Lucia said.

"Huh?" Although confused, Eduard still stretched it to Lucia. The next second she raised her hand to hold his palm, and then Eduard let out a cry of pain.
