She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 249

Arthur frowned, walked around the table to Lucia, reached for her chin, made her look up at him, and asked,

"Did you go drinking last night?"

Touch, sight, hearing, the combination of the three finally made Lucia wake up, and Arthur, who was in front of him was alive.

"Why are you here..." Lucia asked in a daze.

Arthur was obviously more concerned about Lucia's condition. Seeing that she didn't answer, he leaned down and sniffed between her lips, frowning even tighter,

"Still smell like alcohol. How much did you drink last night? Whom did you drink with?"

When Arthur spoke, his breath spit on the tip of her nose. Lucia shook her head and felt itchy. Then she shook off Arthur's hand that was holding her chin, and said a little angrily,

"I didn't drink much. I went by myself."

Alone?

Arthur furrowed tightly when he heard this. Just as the two were at a standoff, Eduard suddenly pushed open the door of the office, and before he could see the people inside, he asked loudly,

"Lucia, why did you come to work today? Didn't I tell you to rest at home? You drank so much, you still..."

After seeing Arthur, Eduard stopped speaking.

As soon as Arthur heard Eduard's words, Arthur knew he was the one who took Lucia for a drink last night. His eyes looked sharp and he swept over like a knife. Eduard immediately froze.

"Mr. Davis, are you there..." Eduard smiled shyly, glanced away, and greeted exaggeratedly.

"Why make Lucia drink so much?" Arthur straightened up and asked Eduard coldly.

"I..." Eduard didn't dare to say in front of Arthur that he encouraged Lucia to drown her sorrows. He prevaricated, but Lucia impatiently spoke for him,

"What the hell are you doing here?" Lucia didn't want Arthur to appear in Jibillion Inc. The entanglement between them was well known in Athegate, and Lucia didn't want to make her subordinates suspicious.

Arthur just remembered the reason he came here. He stretched out his arms around Lucia's body and picked her up, and replied,

"Come with me home. I have something important."

"Your home?" Lucia's feet were a little weak, so she simply put her body weight on Arthur's arms and asked suspiciously.

"Yes, my home," Arthur responded, wrapping Lucia's waist with one hand and helping her take the suit jacket from the back of the chair,

"Going right now."

Lucia just followed Arthur for a few steps. When she passed Eduard, Eduard stared at them and muttered, "Do you think I'm transparent?" before calling her back.

"I'm not going," Lucia whispered, waving away from Arthur's support, "what are we doing at your home?"

Aren't your fiancées and kid at home?

Lucia whispered in her heart.

"There is something important. You have to come." Arthur, regardless of Lucia's awkwardness, stretched out his hand to wrap her waist again domineeringly.

Eduard saw that Lucia was resisting, so he hurriedly walked up to Arthur and stopped him, saying, "Arthur, aren't you being too domineering? Don't you see that Lucia doesn't want to?"

Arthur moved his gaze from Lucia to Eduard's face. His eagle eyes were so sharp that no one could question it.

"I'm taking her home for something important."

Eduard was stunned by Arthur's gaze. There seemed to be some kind of tacit understanding between the men. The next second, he simply stepped aside and said to Lucia,

"Lucia, I give you leave. Don't be in a hurry to come back."

Lucia stared at Eduard in disbelief. Her eyes looked gloomy, as if she was questioning him. Did he just betray her?!

Eduard avoided Lucia's eyes and looked at the ceiling. He was not betraying her. The key was that Arthur wa not to be messed with...

Besides, Eduard had a sense that it was Juliana's business, so he wouldn't stop him.

In this way, Arthur successfully took Lucia away from the Jibillion Inc building, and because of the closeness of the two, there was a wave of gossip.

In the car, Lucia leaned against the window in a daze as if giving up resistance. Arthur suppressed the excitement in his heart. Just now, he didn't tell her that Juliana's child was not his own. He just wanted to explain it once everyone arrived. Today, the misunderstanding between him and Lucia could be put to rest.

Thinking of this, Arthur continued to increase the speed of the car, and the Rolls-Royce Phantom engine roared loudly, as if responding to the owner's excitement.

When they came to Fragranerde Hall, Lucia was in a low mood. The last time when she was here, Arthur blamed her for Juliana for the first time. Those memories were not pleasant. She was silent. If Arthur didn't come to lead her, she would not get out of the car at all.

Not knowing what Lucia was thinking at this time, Arthur only thought she was a little bit puzzled by her hangover and being dragged by him, so he thoughtfully took her out of the car and walked all the way to the gate of the villa.

As they approached the door, Lucia shook Arthur's hand away, staring straight at him.

"What's wrong?" Arthur asked in confusion.

"Your fiancée and kid are still inside. Can't you hold me?" Holding hands, Lucia whispered and the bitterness also spread in her heart. She knew that Arthur was doing things in a proper way, and he must bring her here for a reason, but that didn't mean he can do whatever he wanted.

Arthur sensed Lucia's emotions, feeling both distressed and wanting to laugh. Lucia, later, won't be so embarrassed.

Without forcing her, Arthur just slowed down and came to the door with Lucia. Peter opened the door for them, and the two walked in together. Lucia's mood was still a little uneasy, but it quickly turned to surprise.

In the cold and rigid living room, various characters with different temperaments were sitting.
