She Is A CEO

Lucia thought about it for a while, and then finally said, "Well, then, thank you, Sophie."

Lucia gave in.

A triumphant smile lit Sophie's face. With Lucia's approval, she quickly stood up and took her grandson to the dining room to have breakfast, which was cooked for him by Sophie after she got up early in the morning at the villa.

Seeing Sophie and Theodore together, Lucia felt amused and helpless. She had to talk to Arthur.

"I can't let your mother be my nanny," Lucia said to Arthur, who came up to her.

"Well, I'll get another nanny and my mom will be the chef here." Arthur had got a plan. He also felt sorry for his mother if she had to do housework all the time.

Lucia nodded. She had no other choice.

Arthur looked at Lucia for a moment, then gently wiped the skin under her eye and whispered, "Why do you seem to have dark circles?"Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

Lucia raised her hand and touched her eyes. She replied in an undertone, "I didn't sleep well."

After that, she looked up at Arthur, her eyes narrowed slowly, and said angrily, "You look like you slept pretty well."

"With you and our son by my side, of course, I sleep well," Arthur replied with a grin, his white teeth dazzling her.

Arthur was telling the truth, but Lucia interpreted it in a different way.

Why did she get the feeling that this guy was smug?

"I'll drive you to work later, but you need to go home with me first. I need to change my clothes and pick up a few things," Arthur said when Lucia was silent.

Then he went straight to the kitchen without leaving her any room to say no or bring up other ideas.

He was hungry, too.

Lucia had no choice but to follow him to the kitchen for breakfast.

After breakfast, Sophie, whose identity had been revealed, no longer tried to hide anything from Lucia.

She asked Jan to come downstairs to pick her up and take Theodore to kindergarten with her, and Lucia was not surprised about it. She got into Arthur's car and went with him to his house.

At the villa, Arthur took Lucia into the house and went upstairs to change his clothes. For him, Lucia was no longer a guest to be treated politely. When she came to this villa, she could move about freely, as if it were her own home.

Arthur went upstairs and Lucia walked around the living room by herself. She had to say Arthur had good taste. This house was a perfect match for his disposition.

Looking at the industrial-style decor, she began to imagine that if Theodore and she lived there, the toys would be thrown around, the walls would be graffitied, and the Impressionist paintings would be replaced by 'abstract paintings' of Theodore.

Images flashed through Lucia's mind and she smiled at the thought.

Was Arthur ready to be a father?

Lucia was embarrassed when she realized that she had thought so far ahead.

Anyway, she decided to let nature take its course.

Standing in the living room of Arthur's villa, Lucia suddenly figured it out.

When Arthur got dressed and went to the top of the stairs, he saw Lucia standing in the living room, laughing. He asked as he came downstairs, "Did you like the decor so much?"

He came downstairs in a suit, which perfectly defined the word personable. His tall figure was truly impressive, not to mention the faint smile on his face.

Lucia looked at his pretty face and thought she had found a treasure. There was a slight smile on her face that puzzled Arthur. But Arthur was pleased to see her smile. He even thought to himself that he had done the right thing in decorating the house like this.

Lucia would definitely laugh if she knew Arthur thought she was happy because of the decoration.

Arthur's goal of showing Lucia the way to his place had been achieved, so he drove her to the office, and then returned to the office building to take care of business.

Lucia arrived at the office and met Nia, who had been waiting for her inside. Nia had a keen mind. Noticing the faint smile on her face, Nia asked curiously, "Lucia, did something good happen?" Lucia smiled but said nothing.

'Something good? Kind of.' Lucia thought to herself.

Since Lucia wanted to keep it to herself, Nia wasn't going to pursue it, especially when she had something important to take care of. So, she changed the topic, "Lucy, is there something going on between you and Mr. Burton?"

When Nia mentioned Eduard, Lucia was confused and looked at Nia blankly.

Nia could get the general idea from Lucia's expression, so she felt strange and said, "Mr. Burton asked you to look for him early in the morning. I thought something was wrong."

"Maybe it was something at work," Lucia answered lightly, but she knew it wasn't necessarily because of work.

Arthur once told her that Eduard asked him about her relationship with him, but it was unclear why Eduard was concerned about this.

Naturally, she could not disobey her boss, so she put her things down and went upstairs to find him.

Although they had often talked about business together, Lucia was sure Eduard wanted to talk about something personal with her this time as he was sitting on the sofa.

"Lucia, there you are." Eduard smiled as soon as he saw Lucia come in.

"Mr. Burton, what can I do for you?" Lucia opted for a formal, polite opening line.

"Come and sit," Eduard motioned for Lucia to sit next to him before he spoke, "Nothing. I just wanted to talk to you."

Lucia nodded and sat down on the small sofa, not near Eduard.

Eduard coughed and got down to business. "I heard that you've been getting close to Mr. Davies from Davonnis Corp lately. Is that right?"

"You heard it?" Lucia glanced at Eduard. "Do you like hearing the gossip, too?"

Eduard smiled and said honestly, "You can understand it as human nature."

"

"Because he's a competitor?" Lucia smiled and asked. She thought Eduard might mind her being associated with Arthur as a Jibillion executive because Davonnis Corp was also a financial company. "Not exactly..." Eduard replied equivocally, smiling brightly.

"I can't tell you anything about my personal affairs, but I can assure you that I will never leak any company secrets to him. I hope you can trust me." Lucia had a policy that she would never talk about business in her private interactions with Arthur.

Lucia took a look at Eduard. "If there's nothing else, I'll go down and do my business."

Not long after Lucia left Eduard's office, Nia came to her. "Mr. Burton just made an internal call. He wants you to be his female companion and attend the 60th birthday party for the owner of the TalentScoop Company tonight... Lucy, Mr. Burton always chooses women from outside the company as his female companions. This is the first time he has invited someone from the company to attend a party with him. You should take it seriously."
