She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 239

"Lucia, did you have a bad time at Hawaii?" As soon as he noticed Lucia was not in the right mood, Eduard talked to her during lunch break.

Lucia lowered her eyes to the table and shook her head feebly, moving as stiffly as a string puppet.

Eduard was even more worried when he saw her like this and took a chair to sit opposite her, and when they sat across the table, Eduard was shocked to see her eyes.

"Did Arthur do something to you?" Eduard started guessing again.

Lucia shook her head as she had just done, not wanting to talk at all.

"Lucia, what on earth could be making you so depressed?" Eduard was both worried and angry.

Lucia finally managed to look up at Eduard for a moment and said a few words, "Sorry, I'll be fine in a few days."

"Who wants an apology?" Eduard said with raised eyebrows, "I want to know what the hell happened to you!"

Lucia shook her head again. She was afraid if she said it, Eduard would just rush to find Spencer. Forget it. Forget everything.

Lucia was betrayed by Jacob. And she was in the relationship with Arthur, and then broke up. But no matter what, her fate was still in her own hands and the road was still chosen by herself, but this time ...

Lucia didn't know if she wanted to resist Esmae's arrangement, but if she did so, how will she face her and how will she repay her for her kindness to her?

Lucia's mind was confused and the way forward was unclear.

Eduard knew he couldn't get anything out of Lucia, so after a moment's reflection, he left her office and told her to calm down, while he took the unprecedented initiative to contact Arthur by phone.

"I'll meet you at the Brightness Teahouse at noon." Eduard said directly as soon as the call was answered.

"Is something wrong?" Arthur's tone was light, without any emotions.

"Just meet me!" Eduard hung up the phone with arrogance, and was certain that Arthur must come out to meet him!

In the president's office of Branch of Davonnis, Arthur stared at the phone for a moment in silence. Eduard was growing bolder and bolder, but now he had more important things to do.

"You're saying it was Kayla who took the pictures of Lucia and Teddy?" Arthur said to Kyle with harsh attitude.

Kyle stood warily in front of Arthur's desk and nodded silently.

"Even if she has a special status, you let her come in and out of my office freely? What's your use as an assistant!?" Arthur rarely lost his temper and questioned Kyle in a stern voice.

Today, when he was back to the company, he sat down to find Lucia and Theodore's photos disappeared. Those were his two most cherished photos. Who was so bold in the end? He anxiously called Kyle to ask and knew that it was Kayla. Arthur knew that Kyle can not stop her, but he can not let her freely take his most valuable things!

"Mr. Davies ..." Kyle raised his eyes and looked pitiful, "It's not that I haven't stopped her, but I can't..."

Arthur's eyes were gloomy. Although Kayla was an elder, she did not yet have the right to invade his territory. Moreover, she had no right to take away his own things!

"She also said when she left that if you want your photos back, go to her." Kyle added with a trembling voice.

"If there's a next time, you'll be fired and go to Otis'!" Arthur didn't really mean to blame Kyle, but he still threatened him.

As soon as he heard that he might be sent to Otis, he paled and rushed to swear, "Mr. Davies, I dare not again. Do not send me to Mr. Otis!"

Kyle used to work with Otis for a period of time. For that workaholic, Kyle was scared. Over those few months, he could not sleep well. Fortunately, Arthur returned to set up Branch of Davonnis and Edwin assigned him, otherwise ...

"All right, get out." Arthur asked Kyle out and waved his hand, thinking how to get the photos back.

When Arthur arrived home the night before, he found out from Sophie that the news of the trip with Lucia had been leaked to the entertainment media, and of course, the Knight family knew about it, and all the pressure was on Sophie alone.

After thanking his mother, Sophie scolded him for being a silly child. She was most concerned about how the three of them had been living this week, so as they chatted, because Lucia and Theodore were in the conversation, the atmosphere became more and more pleasant, and Arthur was in a good mood.

Also, what did Eduard want from him?

Of course Arthur would go, because he knew if Eduard looked for him privately, it could only be related to Lucia. So, without hesitation, he grabbed his coat and headed to Brightness Teahouse.

Brightness Teahouse was a high grade teahouse in Athegate. Its guests were supplied with expensive tea. People who can afford to consume were rich, so once inside Brightness Teahouse, Arthur met many business partners. After a few pleasantries, he found Eduard directly.

Sitting down graciously opposite Eduard, Arthur looked at him and waited for him to speak.

"Have some tea." Eduard glanced at Arthur and passed a cup of tea to him.

Arthur looked askance at the cup of tea and did not pick up, because the cup was full and the tea, although fragrant, was spilling out.

No wonder Lucia was willing to be friends with Eduard. This guy had a lot of tidbits, but he was simple-minded and impulsive, and could be compared with his brother.

"Go ahead. What do you want from me?" asked Arthur.

"What have you done with Lucia?" Eduard didn't want to hide anything but asked directly.

"What happened to her?" It was the mention of Lucia that caused Arthur's cold expression to change.

Eduard heard this and didn't feel right. If Lucia was depressed because of Arthur, he should be self-conscious. Was it not because of him?

Seeing that Eduard was thinking, Arthur reminded him, "What's wrong with Lucia?"

"Back from the vacation, Lucia doesn't look happy. She is like sinking to the bottom. No energy. I thought it was something unpleasant happened with you ..." The more Eduard said, the lower his voice was because Arthur's face didn't look good gradually.

As expected, Esmae must have given Lucia a hard time!

Arthur now really regretted that he did not insist at that time and left her alone to bear all the pressure, but he, who was familiar with Lucia's character, also felt it strange. What Esmae said that can make Lucia in low spirits?

Lucia had always been strong, especially in front of others, and the fact that even Eduard found out about her state must be a serious matter.
