She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 395

It was past 9 o'clock in the evening now, and although the weather was pleasant in this season, and it was very suitable for walking, there were very few people on the street, and there was only constant traffic on the road.

Arthur and Eduard were sitting in one of the cars. The two went to the Vortex Hotel next to Washington Park. Eduard didn't dare to speak in the car. He always had a very bad premonition in his heart. Arthur beside him looked like becoming more and more gloomy, which made him very worried.

In less than twenty minutes, the taxi took them to the front of the Vortex Hotel.

"Arthur, how do we find Lucia?" After getting out of the car, Eduard was in trouble. In a foreign country where it valued privacy very much, it was hard to find out if Lucia was here.

Without thinking twice, Arthur pulled a checkbook from his pocket, signed one, and said, "Use the money."

Eduard was stunned by this action. Arthur's behavior was too direct.

Sure enough, after going to the front desk to inquire about the situation, the staff did not reveal any information. Seeing that no one around, Arthur simply handed the check of five thousand dollars to the front desk staff and said,

"Please help me check if a woman has been here. She is my wife and I am worried about her safety."

Five thousand dollars was already two months' salary for an ordinary receptionist. The receptionist hesitated for a second before quickly accepting the check and saying to Arthur,

"Sir, a very beautiful woman did come here two hours ago, and she hasn't left yet, just..."

"Just what?" Arthur demanded immediately.

"I'm afraid this lady is not alone," the receptionist was embarrassed because Arthur said Lucia was his wife, but said frankly,

"A man picked her upstairs at the time."

Hearing this, Arthur was shocked. His palms were already clenched into fists. Eduard pressed his shoulders after realizing it and asked the receptionist,

"Can you tell us which room the man lives in?"

"This..." The receptionist was embarrassed. This was a violation of the rules, and it was easy to guess the situation now that the man in front of him was looking for his wife who had a tryst with her lover. If there was a dispute later, he would lose his job.

"Don't worry. We're just making sure my friend's wife is safe, and we'll leave when we see her," Eduard explained, sensing the receptionist's hesitation.

Although the receptionist was embarrassed, he accepted the check after all. After a moment of hesitation, he said, "Okay, they live in room 509."

Eduard thanked the staff, and then pulled Arthur to the elevator, but the next second he found that he couldn't pull Arthur away at all. He was like a rock and stayed in place. Eduard knew what he was thinking, and said quickly,

"Arthur, let's go check the situation first. Don't think too much."

If for others, Eduard dared not make guesses, but Lucia's character can be guaranteed. Even if she was really here and saw another man by herself, she will never do anything to hurt Arthur.

"But..." Arthur forced the word out and was speechless. Eduard saw a tinge of vulnerability in his eyes.

Everyone was afraid of being betrayed, even Arthur.
