She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 269

Daphne's excitement made Lucia unable to help but smile, and said, "We know each other. I saved your number and noted your name. Of course, I will answer your call."

"Hmm," Daphne responded, then added, "Miss Webb, do you have time now? Can you come out and meet me?"

"Now?" Lucia raised her eyebrows and glanced at her watch. It was 10o'clock in the morning, and it wasn't lunch break yet.

"Is it inconvenient?" Daphne's attitude was always cautious, and when Lucia said this, she asked softly immediately.

"Not really. What do you want to do?" asked Lucia.

"I have something very important to tell you. If possible, I hope you can come out and meet me." Daphne said anxiously.

Lucia frowned, hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, tell me the location. I'll go out and find you now."

Daphne was very excited, and immediately told Lucia her location. Before the call ended, she solemnly told her that she would wait all the time. After hanging up the phone, Lucia picked up her coat and walked out. Her intuition told herself that Daphne must have something important to say to her.

As soon as Lucia walked to the elevator, she met Eduard who went downstairs to find her. Eduard asked Lucia, "Lucia, do you want to go out?"

"Well, Poppy's assistant has something to tell me," Lucia asked Eduard as she walked into the elevator, "Are you looking for me?"

"I want to review the details of a project with you. Since Poppy's assistant is looking for you, let's deal with her side first." Eduard said and pressed the button on the first floor.

"You should go up first when you go back to the office, right?" Lucia asked him strangely.

"I'll accompany you." Eduard glanced at Lucia and answered.

"Why? Afraid that she will eat me?" Lucia teased hilariously.

"Is there any good people around Poppy? I'm afraid you'll have an accident, so let's go together. Anyway, I have time." Eduard was instantly proved wrong because he just said that he was looking for Lucia on business.

Lucia smiled and didn't expose Eduard. Since he wanted to go with her, let's go.

After leaving Jibillion Inc, Lucia and Eduard came to Daphne's location after a while. This was a milk tea shop in the downtown area. The consumers were young boys and girls. Lucia and Eduard rarely came to this kind of occasion. When they walked into the shop in suits and leather shoes, they immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Lucia ignored the others' gazes because she was startled when she saw Daphne who sat in the corner.

Quickly walking towards Daphne, Lucia asked worriedly before she sat down, "Miss Cook, what's wrong?"

It turned out that Daphne's condition was not very good. It can be said that it was very bad. There were obvious bruises on her face, especially around the eyes. She was wearing long sleeves just to cover the scars on her arms. And the posture of placing her feet was awkward. Her right foot seemed to be unable to bend, but stood straight.

"Great, here you're," Daphne breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Lucia, as if she was relieved, and then looked at Eduard and said,
