She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 318

The sunlight outside the window subtly avoided the floor-to-ceiling windows of Arthur's office at this time, as if afraid of disturbing the loving couple, but the warmth didn't last long when Arthur's cell phone rang.

Arthur frowned and let go of Lucia's waist reluctantly. Lucia smiled and began to calm down, watching Arthur answer the phone.

"Kyle, you better have something important to do! Or come back and I'll kill you!" Arthur's tone was nasty, and this guy Kyle interrupted his time to enjoy the wonder of love!

Kyle on the other side of the phone was silent for a while, and one could almost imagine the dazed expression on his face at the moment. When did he provoke Mr. Davies? However, he quickly reacted and said anxiously with grievance,

"Mr. Davies, didn't you ask me to come to JTP to watch the scene? You also ordered me to call you as soon as the court people come..."

Arthur raised his eyebrows. Although he knew it was urgent, he was still very upset and said, "Invite them to Lucia's office for tea. We'll be there soon."

After hanging up, Arthur took Lucia by the waist and led her out, while calling Bradley again, detailing that they had found evidence that Jacob framed Lucia, to see if he could find a way to let the court people first withdrew. Bradley simply agreed. So by the time Arthur and Lucia rushed back to JTP, the court people had left.

Kyle stood in front of Lucia's office, shivering. He didn't know it was Arthur who used his connections to let them leave. As soon as he saw him, he immediately stepped forward and complained,

"Mr. Davies, the staff of the court suddenly withdrew for some unknown reason. I really didn't lie to you."

Arthur gave Kyle a fierce look and said coldly, "Really?"

"It's true!" Kyle was so anxious that he was sweating. Finally Lucia couldn't bear to see how Arthur always bullied Kyle and took the initiative to explain the situation. Otherwise Kyle would probably collapse to the ground if he held back.

"Mr. Davies..." After hearing Lucia's explanation, Kyle was really speechless to the president.

Arthur gave Kyle a cold, unashamed look, and he was still angry!

"Arthur, now that the court staff has withdrawn, shall we ask Kane how to proceed?" Lucia said, pulling Arthur to turn to her and telling him to stop staring at Kyle who was poor.

"No need, just take the videotape to the court. These two cases are related and can be investigated together." Arthur said, and then let Kyle go back to the company first, while he and Lucia went directly to the court with the videotape.

On the afternoon of the same day, the court accepted the case of Jacob's alleged will fraud. Because this case had a causal relation with JTP's seizure, coupled with Bradley's influence, Webbex Group was temporarily safe.

Lucia convened a high-level meeting at the first time, told them the news, and then passed it down to them. During the day, they saw the people from the court come to the company with their own eyes. Just a few hours later, they got the news that it was safe. All JTP employees witnessed it in person. With Lucia's resolute style of doing things, the negative rumors disappeared for a while, and everyone seemed to have renewed hope.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, Arthur went out with Kane, who had come to deal with some legal matters, to invite Bradley to dinner. He had to ask Bradley about some important things, and these things could have negative consequences that he didn't want Lucia to know. So even if Lucia was willing to go with them, she was forced to stay in the company by Arthur in the end.

In the office, Lucia leaned herself deeply into the office chair. To be honest, after the ups and downs of the day, she was indeed a little tired.

Outside the office, Daphne had been looking at the office worriedly. Just now she saw a trace of exhaustion on Lucia's face, but she was anxious that she couldn't help.

Nia found Daphne's behavior. So she asked Daphne, "Daphne, are you worried about Lucia?"

"Yeah," Daphne replied with a slight frown, "Lucia looks tired."

"Now she is best suited for a cup of warm chocolate. Would you like to send her a cup of it?" Nia suggested with a smile.

Daphne asked curiously, "Do you drink chocolate suitable in such a hot weather?" She just felt it greasy when just thinking about it.

"Don't you know? Chocolate relieves fatigue and lifts the mood. Right now it's the perfect thing for Lucia," said Nia.

"Looks like I've heard. Well, I'm going to bring chocolates to Lucia." Thinking of what she could do for Lucia, Daphne jumped up and hurried out of her seat to get chocolates in the lounge. Nia looked at her for a while and had a smile on her face.

"Lucia..." Holding the steaming chocolate, Daphne knocked on the door of Lucia's office. As soon as the door opened, she saw Lucia in the seat with her eyes closed. She held her breath for a moment and walked in lightly.

Lucia was already dozing off, but she opened her eyes when she heard the subtle voice, and saw Daphne sneaking towards her like a little mouse at a glance. She felt amused immediately and asked softly,

"Daphne, is something wrong?"

Seeing Lucia awake, Daphne hastened to bring the chocolate to her desk, and said sweetly, "Lucia, I see that you are a little tired, so I made a cup of warm chocolate for you. You will definitely relieve fatigue after drinking it."

Lucia frowned slightly, but that expression was fleeting. She smiled and said, "Thank you Daphne. Just put the chocolate on the table. It's already off work. Tell Nia. All go back home. Don't wait for me."

"Aren't you drinking?" Daphne wanted Lucia to relieve her fatigue as soon as possible. Seeing that she hadn't touched it, Daphne asked her.

Lucia's smile froze for a moment, but she still reached out to bring the chocolate, took a sip in front of Daphne, and said with a smile,

"It's delicious. Go home. Eduard will blame me for abusing the staff."

"Okay!" Daphne responded happily when she saw Lucia drinking the chocolate, and told Lucia not to be too tired before leaving the office, so she didn't see that she immediately put down the cup in her hand as soon as she left. The expression on her face was very unnatural.

Back in her seat, Daphne said gratefully to Nia, "Thank you for telling me about the power of chocolate, Nia. Lucia is very happy."

"Really?" Nia responded with a smile.
