She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 353

The manager who came with Lucia sensed something was wrong. He immediately stretched out his hand to Monty and smiled politely, "Hello Mr. Gallagher. I'm Noah, Marketing Manager."

Noah had already stretched out his hand, and it would be really weird for Monty to hold Lucia again. Monty still simply let go of his hand to greet Noah. Lucia quickly retracted her hand, put her hand on her side, made a fist and released it. She loosened her fist and clenched her fist again. After repetition, she calmed down.

She had the urge to punch Monty just now, because the moment she let go, Monty deliberately stroked her palm with his thumb.

After being polite, Noah saw that Lucia frowned slightly, so he led the negotiation with Monty. Unexpectedly, Monty was surprisingly straightforward. He promised everything Noah proposed, even the most critical interest issue was smooth, completely agreeing to follow Noah's plan. Noah felt very surprised and thought Monty was too nice. The more he talked, the more uncertain he became, so he looked towards Lucia.

Lucia kept staring at Monty, not because she wanted to see this man, but Monty always looked at him intentionally or unintentionally during the conversation with Noah. He clearly did not mean to pry, but Lucia felt inexplicably unhappy. In the end she simply stared straight at Monty.

Seeing that Lucia wasn't paying attention, Noah cleared his throat and said, "Ms. Webb, do you think this case can be settled?"

Lucia looked at Noah and replied, "You go out first, I'll talk to Mr. Gallagher."

Monty's eyes flashed, and an unintelligible smile formed on his face.

Noah hesitated, and finally left the office with his assistant, and the two waited for Lucia in the waiting room.

When only she and Monty were left in the office, Lucia stared straight at Monty and asked, "Mr. Gallagher, did we know each other before?"

"I didn't know you." Monty replied with a smile, but his posture became more relaxed than before. He even stretched front of Lucia, which was not like he would show in front of a stranger.

"Why did you touch my palm just now?"

Lucia directly asked her doubt without any hesitation. She was not a person who haggled over every penny. In fact, in the business field, she often met people who coveted her beauty, and there were many people who wanted to take advantage of her verbally and physically. But Monty was different from them. His eyes were too clear, and there was no trace of impurities in them, so Lucia asked the question directly.

"Ms. Webb, have you always been so outspoken?" Monty asked Lucia half-jokingly, with a smile in his eyes.

"Why?" Lucia asked, ignoring Monty.

Monty chuckled lightly, and in the next second he put away all his smiles as if he changed his face. After sitting up straight, he stared at Lucia earnestly, and answered word by word without hesitation,

"Because you are beautiful and I like you."

Lucia frowned, staring at Monty silently.

"Is that reason enough?" Monty asked Lucia with a seemingly simple and unintentional smile on his face again, showing off his face-changing stunt.

If other people who met for the first time said this, Lucia might smile and say "you're really joking", but for some reason, she felt that the person in front of her was telling the truth.
