She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 272

Lucia's inadvertent words revealed her possessiveness towards Arthur. That was pleasant to Arthur's ears, and he looked at Lucia affectionately.

Lucia glanced up into Arthur's eyes, and she could almost feel herself surrounded by his gaze. She was staring at him for a moment, forgetting the people around her.

"I ask you guys to stop display affections?!" He looked down at Lucia, and then looked at Arthur sideways. Eduard finally couldn't help but complain. They were so affectionate every time and really regarded others as transparent!

Daphne couldn't help laughing because of Eduard's words. Seeing that the three were looking at her, she bowed her head embarrassedly, and said,

"I am sorry…"

"It's alright. Uncle Eduard always says so," Lucia teased.

"You call me uncle? Daphne, don't listen to her. Just call me Eduard." Eduard shouted reluctantly. Daphne felt more and more easy to get along with this person.

"You're old but not respectable," Lucia glanced at Eduard before introducing to Arthur, "Arthur, it's this girl who stole Jacob's ledger for me and was beaten by him so badly. I really don't know what to do to thank you..."

"Lucia, don't say that," Daphne quickly shook her head and said after Lucia thanked her again, "I did it willingly."

"Anyway, thank you for everything you've done for Lucia. Now what you want, what you need, just say it," Arthur said aggressively.

"No, no," Daphne quickly waved her hand and said, "Since I am willing, I never thought about getting anything in return."

"I have to," Arthur said domineeringly. "You helped Lucia, and I have to pay you back."

"Mr. Davis, how can you be so domineering to force her for paying back?" Eduard couldn't help but said jealously.

Lucia and Daphne laughed together. Watching Arthur and Eduard bickering again, Lucia leaned into Daphne's ear and asked her softly,

"You are not nervous now, right?"

Daphne was stunned for a moment before realizing what Lucia was referring to, so she smiled and replied, "Well, I am not nervous right now."

"That's good. Although Eduard's words and deeds are a little frivolous, in fact, he is very trustworthy. You can live here with peace of mind and let him do all the things. Don't worry about bothering him. Know it?" Lucia instantly downgraded Eduard to a male servant.

"Okay." Although she said in a low voice that she didn't dare do so, Daphne still nodded and smiled sweetly.

In the evening, Lucia and Arthur didn't leave until Daphne settled down. Before leaving, Arthur still insisted on reminding, so that Daphne could ask him if she needed anything. Because of this, he and Lucia were almost coaxed to be "sent" out by Eduard.

As soon as Lucia and Arthur left, the room fell silent in an instant. Eduard stroked his hair and turned to ask Daphne, "Are you sure you can walk back to the room by yourself?"

"Yes." Daphne said as if she wanted to prove it to Eduard, and walked slowly to the room. In fact, the second floor was the guest room, and the room on the first floor was Eduard's master bedroom. He was afraid of Daphne's inconvenience so he deliberately lied to her. He said it was a guest room, but he had been tidying up for a while when he first arrived in the afternoon, for fear of letting Daphne see it.

Waiting patiently until Daphne approached the room, Eduard went upstairs, and got a message from Lucia as soon as he entered the bedroom.

"Eduard, Daphne is still young. Don't touch her."

Eduard was speechless and quickly replied, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

"I saw the expression you looked at Daphne. It was obviously different from looking at others. You actually want to make a quibble." Lucia replied.

"Please, she's the one who helped you. Of course I'm impressed by her!" Eduard replied angrily.

"Don't bring me in. She's very simple. If you really have this intention, you must be serious and responsible, you know?" Lucia quickly replied.

Eduard looked at the message dumbfounded, and felt that Lucia was just talking about a fantasy. How could he be tempted by Daphne? It was impossible, absolutely impossible.

Finally he replied, "Haha, I know."

Seeing the messgae of Eduard, Lucia couldn't help laughing, and Arthur, who was driving by the side, asked her, "What's so funny?"

"Nothing. I'm just teasing Eduard. I think he's very interested in Daphne. He offered her a place to live today. It's a little surprising." Lucia smiled.

"In the past, the women around Eduard were rich ladies. Of course, seeing such an innocent little girl, he would have a different feeling. Don't suggest anything to him. I'm afraid he will do something to her." Arthur "derogated" Eduard unceremoniously.

Lucia compressed her lips. She had already hinted. What should she do...

By the time Daphne settled in, Jacob's side was mad.

"Find it for me. Look through the homes of all the people who have been with Poppy before. I don't care what means you use. You must get the book back for me!" In the former Webbex manor, now Taylor manor, Jacob was furious at a group of his subordinates.

One by one, his subordinates were trembling. All of them froze there for a while. Jacob was even more furious. He swept all the things on the coffee table to the ground and shouted angrily, "Go now!"

With the shocking shout, Jacob's subordinates rushed away as if they had just woken up, for fear that they would be regarded as a punching bag if they walked too slowly. But a person came in through the door and looked at the colleagues who were running away, but he walked directly to Jacob.

"Mr. Taylor, Daphne is missing." He was Jacob's most trusted subordinate, Samuel, who bowed his head respectfully to Jacob.

"What do you mean?" Jacob asked and looked up at Samuel.

"I took people to her house again at noon today and found that she never went out again. I went up and smashed the door to find out that she had left. I didn't see her until I came back just now." Samuel replied.

"Is it really her?" Jacob's eyes were darkened and he said in a deep voice.

"Not necessarily. After all we beat her hard last night. How old is Daphne? I guess she was terrified and ran away." Samuel was also there last night. Daphne was a young girl and didn't admit she stole the book even if she was beaten. Therefore, he didn't believe it was definitely her, and just report to Jacob due diligence.

"Nip in the bud. Send more people around to find her and see if she's still in Athegate," Jacob ordered to Samuel.
