She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 334

"Lucia, let's go. Let's go send Poppy off." Kane endured the pain in his heart and said to Lucia first. Lucia glanced at Kane, and then took a step.

In the farewell hall, a glass coffin surrounded by flowers was quietly placed in the center. Next to it was a wreath of yellow chrysanthemums with Poppy's name written on it. Lucia couldn't move as soon as she got close to her. She slowly approached. Poppy's pale and colorless face slowly came into view.

Lucia had only said goodbye to her father in her life. When her father left, he was ill with pain, and his posture was not serene, but that made Lucia understand that her father died of cancer in accordance with the development of pathology. But now that Poppy was seen, the expression was peaceful incomparably, which revealed that she was murdered in her sleep. This serenity revealed a strange sense of unwillingness to life, making Lucia cold all over.

Between Poppy's eyebrows, there was a unique color. Because she was sniped between the eyebrows, the beautician had no choice but to choose another way to cover it up. That was, to decorate the bullet hole with a bright ruby, which was submitted by Kane in advance.

Now it seemed that this method did not have the expected effect. The gem was placed between eyebrows, but it magnified the unwillingness of Poppy when she died. At least, Lucia thought so.

Arthur had been watching Lucia worriedly. He thought she would break down and cry, but after walking into the farewell hall, he found that Lucia was just staring at Poppy's remains with a pale face, no tears in her eyes. The more she had no response, the more worried Arthur became.

"Lucia, if you can't take it anymore, let's get out of here, okay?" Arthur asked Lucia.

Lucia raised her eyes, looked at Arthur and asked, "Arthur, you see Poppy's expression so peaceful. When the bullet penetrated, do you think she could still feel the pain?"

Lucia's eyes were soaked with a layer of dim light. When people were in pain, they often gave up on themselves to aggravate the pain. Now she was asking this question.

"Lucia..." Arthur held her hand in distress and called out her name softly. There was no other way to relieve her grief.

"It's okay. I'm really uncomfortable right now. I can't breathe, for Poppy, and for myself, but I won't break down. If I'm broken, who will punish Jacob!" Lucia's eyes burst into a dazzling beam and she said so word by word.

Arthur knew that Lucia was strong, but this strength was tempered by countless injuries. He wished she could be weaker and rely on him.

"Tomorrow I'll take Poppy back home," Kane said aside.

"I'll go with you." Lucia said immediately, looking away from Poppy's remains.

"Lucia, don't go. The company needs you now. Besides, I have to see my parents when I go back. It will only delay your time. We will go together next year." Kane declined.

Lucia lowered her eyes and thought for a while, and finally nodded her head. She had already accumulated a lot of works after returning from a vacation in the USA. Webbex Group was hit hard by the Jacob case, and a thousand things waited to be done. She had the responsibility to appease all the people.

Arthur was a little relieved when he saw Lucia nodding. He didn't really want Lucia to follow Kane to bury Poppy, not because he didn't value their friendship, but because he didn't want to see Lucia so tired.

After speaking, the three fell silent. Lucia had to turn her eyes back to Poppy's remains. She didn't dare to look at it for a long time. The target was Jacob, but he escaped, so she couldn't relieve at all.
