She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 291

As soon as Lucia stepped out of Jacob's office, she saw Arthur waiting for her at the elevator. She smiled. She knew that nothing would happen to her, but he loved to worry. Arthur, who loved to worry so much, made her feel warm inside.

Arthur took his hand out of his trouser pocket and reached for Lucia. Lucia raised her hand and placed it in his palm. The anger that Jacob had caused earlier was instantly appeased.

"How did it go?" Arthur asked Lucia.

"Never repent," replied Lucia.

"Then kill him," Arthur said with a rare ruffian tone that made Lucia look at him.

"So cruel?" Lucia laughed.

"Cruel?" Arthur put his arm around Lucia's shoulder and carried her into the elevator.

"That's the right attitude for a man like Jacob," Lucia said, after what seemed like serious thought.

When the elevator doors closed, Arthur stared at Lucia and said seriously, "Lucia, my coming along this time is going to make a lot of people really think that you've been relying on Davonnis Corp and me. If you don't mind, I can transfer my shares to you so that..."

"No," said Lucia, before Arthur could finish. "If you do transfer, the suspicion will be confirmed."

Lucia's self-esteem and pride were just as Arthur had imagined.

"But that's all right," Arthur said with a smile. "I'm supposed to be your backup."

"Yes, you are my biggest backup," said Lucia sweetly as she curled her lips and leaned into Arthur's arms.

As the elevator slowly descended, Lucia and Arthur returned to the lobby of the JTP, where Kane and Kyle were waiting for them at the gate. Arthur sent Lucia back to Jibillion Inc and then Kane back to Fragranerde Hall. Then he got back to Davonnis Corp with Kyle.

Lucia came to Eduard today with mixed feelings. She was serious about coming to work at Jibillion Inc, but now she felt guilty for using it as a springboard.

Arriving at Eduard's office, Lucia was silent for a moment before she could say anything.

Eduard seemed a little sulky and didn't bring it up.

The two people just stood there in silence. Lucia stood in front of Eduard's desk, thinking with her mind starting to wander out of the sky. Her eyes were filled with a cute sense of bewilderment. At a glance, it was obvious that her mind was no longer on this. Finding this, Eduard nearly choked.

"How can you be in a daze at a time like this?!" Finally, Eduard surrendered and stood up to ask Lucia.

"Well..." Lucia came back to herself and smiled at Eduard. "But you didn't say anything, did you?" She said innocently

"How can I say anything?" Eduard was furious. "Am I supposed to tell you that your resignation has been approved and that you can leave now?!"

That was right. Lucia and Eduard were in a standoff over the resignation. Once Lucia took over JTP, she won't be able to take on the Jibillion Inc side of the business, so a few days ago she tendered her resignation to Jibillion headquarters in Germany. She came here today to wait for the result.

Knowing why Eduard was angry, Lucia's smile faded away. She lowered her eyes and whispered, "Eduard, I'm sorry..."
