She Is A CEO

Not long after this, Eric passed away, and Lucia lost her spiritual pillar.

When she looked for support from Jacob, she found that his attitude had slowly changed. Jacob seemed to be devoted to work like her deceased father, and she, who understood her father, naturally understood Jacob. Fortunately, Poppy accompanied her. But it turned out to be a part of their plan.

Finally, the first wedding anniversary of Lucia and Jacob came.

Poppy suggested Lucia who was simple-minded should give Jacob a surprise and reserved a room in a luxury hotel for them.

Though Lucia and Jacob were a couple, they had never had sex. Lucia was still a virgin.

Jacob explained to her that he just wanted to show respect for her deceased father who made such a will. And Lucia had no doubt of his sincerity.Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

On that day, Lucia was ready to have sex with her beloved man. She carefully freshened herself up and made every detail in the room perfect. Then she drank the glass of water handed over by Poppy and fell asleep.

Then came the scandal that caused a sensation in Athegate.

The young lady of the Webb family, Lucia, was caught cheating on her husband on their wedding anniversary. After that, the Webbex Group fell into the hands of Jacob and Poppy and Lucia left in disarray. "Now I recall it. I found I was so stupid..." Lucia said with a bitter smile.

Lucia thought that her parents would be very disappointed if they knew what she had experienced.

Her father had tried his best to prevent her from being hurt by Jacob. It was Lucia who stupidly decided to go through the trial period with Jacob.

"Kindness does not equal to stupidity." After Arthur had a general understanding of the matter, he did not think that Lucia was stupid. She was just too kind-hearted to be treated gently by fate and people with evil intentions.

Hearing this, Lucia looked at Arthur. It was the first time that she had heard such words from others.

Even Auntie Esmae thought Lucia was so stupid to be fooled by Jacob. But Arthur didn't criticize her.

Because of Arthur's appreciation of her, Lucia seemed to be able to face up to all the choices she had made before.

She made wrong decisions, but she never lost her capacity to be kind.

"Arthur, thank you." Lucia gazed into Arthur's eyes and said sincerely with relief.

"Well, what happened later?" Arthur nodded and continued to ask. The following part was what he cared most.

"Later, I contacted my father's old friend, Auntie Esmae. She helped me leave Athegate. When I arrived in the USA, I didn't find myself pregnant until I went to the hospital for checkup," Lucia answered honestly.

"Don't you remember which man entered the hotel room that day?" Arthur asked. He hoped that Lucia could have some memories of that day.

Lucia blushed and said shyly, "I fell asleep after drinking the water. There should be something wrong with the water. I only vaguely remember some hugs... kisses..." Lucia's face turned redder, but she went on, "I'm probably the most pathetic woman in the world. I don't even know who took my virginity."

Arthur quietly gazed into Lucia's gentle eyes as he heard Lucia's words and sighed within himself...

Actually, it was he who took Lucia's virginity. Also, it was his first time to have sex...

It seemed that the God hadn't completely abandoned Lucia. Many years later, the man standing in front of her was her son's father. Moreover, she had fell in love with him before she knew it.

"Have you ever thought about finding that man?" Arthur had never spoken so carefully in his life. It seemed that Lucia was a rabbit in front of him. If he was not careful enough, she would be scared away. "No, never. I even forgot him," Lucia murmured as she shook her head.

She hadn't really thought about it. Five years ago, she gave birth to her baby and entered MIT for further studies. Five years later, she even returned home.

Lucia had never thought of that man because the memory of that night had disappeared. Lucia felt as if she was Virgin Mary who had the baby on her own.

Seeing Lucia shake her head, Arthur felt a little disappointed, but he also realized that it might not be a bad thing. She had said before that she had no hatred for that man.

Looking at Lucia's confused eyes, Arthur held her in his arms. When Lucia was shocked, he whispered, "You need consoling."

Leaning against him, Lucia could feel the warmth from his body. She squinted her eyes and became quiet.

Suddenly, he patted her arm rhythmically. Then Lucia leaned on the man's arms and heard his comfort, "Babe, be good... be good..."

After a while, Lucia finally burst into laughter and looked up at Arthur, "Come on, what kind of comfort is that!" He was coaxing a child, wasn't he?

Arthur lowered his head and took Lucia into his arms again and replied with a straight face, "That's the way my mother comforted me when I was little, and it worked!"

It did work...

Lucia felt touched. From her angle, she could see Arthur's perfectly shaped chin, the tip of his nose and the eyes which were gazing at her. Arthur's eyes looked a little special.

Only then did she realize that Arthur's eyes were not pure black. His irises were brownish, and the outermost edges looked light purple mixed with brown, with black pupils in the middle of his eyes. She felt that...

Thinking of this, Lucia tried to touch the eyelashes of Arthur and mumbled, "Arthur, do you wear colored contact lenses?"

Hearing this, Arthur feigned an angry look. His eyelids were itchy, so he tried to dodge the "flirting" of Lucia and answered coldly, "How could I do that?"

"Then why are the edges of your irises light purple?" Only a mixed-blood has such a kind of eyes. She asked, "Are you a mixed-blood?"

"No, I am born with them," Arthur replied as he ducked, and finally had no choice but to use one hand to hold Lucia's wrists. He raised his hand to press Lucia's head against his neck to prevent her from "observing" him again.
