She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 222

'I can give Arthur to her, let alone take up some of his time.'

When Sophie was thinking, there was a glint in her eyes.

"Sophie..." Lucia saw Sophie's excited face and did not know whether to cry or laugh.

"I know I should go ask him for help directly, but I just can't ..."

"I understand you!" Sophie replied hurriedly, "I'll do you this favor. You tell me what time to leave and I'll have him pick you up. Is it tomorrow?"

Sophie was more excited than anyone to have the family of three reunite with one another. Even if there were still misunderstandings between Arthur and Lucia, she was happy for them!

"No, it's next Tuesday." Lucia was a little bit embarrassed.

Looking at Lucia's blushed cheeks, Sophie patted the back of her hand again and said happily, "Okay, next Tuesday then. Have you bought the flight tickets? Or I'll let Arthur do it, and let you know the time then."

Lucia was speechless. She couldn't do anything else except nod her head.

Then Sophie talked about family affairs with Lucia for a while before the two said goodbye and went home.

'Arthur has looked very unhappy recently. I will tell him the good news to cheer him up!'

In the evening, Arthur came back from the office. When he was about to open the door, Sophie opened it and looked at him with a smile on her face.

Infected by Sophie's smile, Arthur could not help but show a faint smile and ask her despite his unhappiness.

"Mom, why are you so happy today?"

"I'm lending you out!" Sophie said excitedly.

Arthur, who was intelligent, could not understand what his mother meant, "You lent me out?"

"Yeah! For one week!" Sophie sounded like she was joking with Arthur.

Arthur smiled. He knew how lively his mom was, and she often made fun of him and his brothers, so he just put his arm around Sophie's shoulder, walked inside, and asked casually.

"Who did you lend me to?"

A glint flashed across Sophie's eyes as she looked up at her son and replied, "Lucia!"

As expected, Arthur looked bewildered. That was so much fun!

"Mom, say that again?" Arthur suspected he had heard wrong.

"I met Lucia this afternoon. Teddy is now in Chicago. He misses you very much, Lucia promised Teddy to go to the USA with you to see him. She was too embarrassed to ask you for help, so she asked me out to discuss it with me. I just said yes to her request. I have done a pretty good job, right? " Sophie explained with a smile and took credit for it like a little girl.
