She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 342

Lennie's reserved table was not far from where Arthur and Lucia were seated, and since there was no one in the restaurant right now, Lucia saw her as soon as Nia appeared at the door.

"Nia?" Looking at Nia in a long dress, Lucia raised her eyebrows and murmured.

Arthur heard it and looked over, and the person who came was really Lucia's assistant Nia.

He said, "How could you be here?"

It wasn't that Arthur looked down on Nia. It was the conclusion based on rational logic. Nia's work was not enough to support her going in and out of such high-consumption occasions, and looking at her dress up, she should not come alone. She should have a partner.

"She should be with her boyfriend Lennie. I heard her say that Lennie is the CEO of a multinational company, but why is she alone now?" Lucia stood up while expressing her doubts. Having seen Nia, she can't turn a blind eye.

Lucia walked towards Nia.

As soon as Nia turned around, she saw Lucia who was coming towards her and noticed the exquisite dress on Lucia's body, the brilliant diamond necklace around her neck, and her exquisite makeup. Originally, she was confident but had sense of inferiority now. It was easiest to see the gap between them at this time, but at this time Lennie was not by her side. Nia suddenly felt like she had broken into a place where she shouldn't be.

"Nia, are you here for dinner tonight? Where's your boyfriend?" Lucia asked with a gentle smile as she approached Nia with joy.

As soon as she faced Lucia, the attendant beside Nia blushed. It wasn't that he was inexperienced, but Lucia was too charming.

Discovering the strangeness of the attendant beside her, Nia's sense of inferiority became even stronger. She resisted the urge to turn around and run away, and replied calmly,

"Well, Lucia, I didn't expect to meet you here. What a coincidence! My boyfriend will be here in a while."

"Really?" Hearing that Nia was indeed with her boyfriend, Lucia nodded and asked her, "Would you like to dine with us? It would be nice to have a date with four."

Nia's eyes lit up when she heard this suggestion. It was a great honor for her to have dinner with Lucia and Arthur, which represented the improvement of her status. But thinking of Lennie's reaction, Nia hesitated again, glanced at Arthur, who had been watching this way, and regretfully rejected Lucia's proposal,

"No, it will disturb you and Mr. Davies. I'll go over to greet Mr. Davies when my boyfriend arrives. Do you think it's alright?"

Lucia thought for a moment and said, "That's fine. I also want to get to know your boyfriend. And we'll have dinner together when he comes."

"Okay." Nia breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly agreed.

After Lucia nodded to Nia, she returned to her seat and told Arthur what Nia said. Arthur looked at Nia who was sitting alone in the seat under the guidance of the attendant, and said his thoughts bluntly,

"Nia's boyfriend is really weird. It's always only men who arrive at the date early to wait for women. There's no reason for women to wait for him first."

"Who said no?" Lucia asked hilariously, "Which magazine did you read about emotional communication?"

"It's not from any magazine," Arthur said, looking back at Lucia. "It's common sense."

"Really?" Lucia asked, enticed Arthur to shift the conversation away from Nia, and didn't want Nia to be embarrassed.

"Of course," Arthur answered confidently, adding, "I won't let you wait for me anyway."

Lucia smiled and joked, "Yes, yes, Mr. Davies is the gentlest man in the world. I'm really blessed."

"That's for sure." Arthur blatantly agreed, and the response was a lovely roll of eyes from Lucia.

"You're really the cutest. Rolling your eyes is so playful, unlike Eduard who rolls his eyes to make people want to punch him." Arthur praised his woman while not forgetting to complain about Eduard.

At this time, Eduard, who was eating with Daphne at home, sneezed inexplicably.

When chatting with Arthur, Lucia did not forget to check Nia's situation from time to time. As time passed, all of their dishes had almost served, but Nia's boyfriend Lennie still didn't show up.

Lucia started to feel worried, because she seemed to see Nia's shoulders shaking slightly not far away.

"It's been half an hour," Arthur said casually, noticing Lucia's anomaly, "Nia's boyfriend isn't coming, right?"

Lucia frowned when she heard the words. It seemed to be the case based on the current situation. She really wanted to go over and take care of Nia, but she was afraid that Arthur would be unhappy by being alone. So, she looked at Arthur and hoped he could let her go over.

Arthur was amused by Lucia's look. He already knew that she was kind and would never leave Nia alone, so he waved his hand and said generously,

"Go, take care of your assistant. I can do it alone."

When Lucia heard this, she stood up immediately, leaned over and lightly kissed on Arthur's cheek as she passed by, leaving a sentence of "I'll be back in a minute" and walking towards Nia. Arthur looked at her quick and swift movements and wanted to laugh, but the light kiss on his cheek was still very helpful.

Putting down the cutlery, Arthur looked at the starry sky in the distance, without looking back thoughtfully, giving Lucia and Nia enough privacy.

When Lucia walked behind Nia, she could clearly hear her slightly sobbing. Lucia called her softly,

"Nia, are you okay?"

Hearing Lucia's voice, Nia was shocked and turned back. At this time, her face was already covered with tears, her eyes were full of grievances, and even her voice was choked,

"Lucia...I don't know why he left..."

Lucia sighed slightly, sat next to Nia, took out a tissue on the table and handed it to her, comforting softly, "You can call and ask if he was delayed by something. Don't think about it yourself."

Nia took the tissue and wiped away her tears. She couldn't tell the bitterness in her heart. How could she dare to say that Lennie left when she was at the door, which made her feel too sad.
