She Is A CEO

Jacob selected a few photos that he was most satisfied with and then said to the reporters, "Tonight, go back and write a story. Tomorrow morning, I want everyone in the city to know that Lucia went out with me privately. And the story will involve Arthur. The harsher the words, the better. He threatened you with false reports before. Now there are photos to prove it. He won't dare to make things difficult for you." "Okay!" The reporters took the order and left, and only Jacob's trusted subordinate stayed.

"Mr. Taylor, are you really interested in Lucia?" Samuel was worthy of being a trusted subordinate who had been with Jacob for many years. He immediately guessed what he was thinking, and now asked the question just to confirm it, so that he could act somehow more conveniently in the future.

"Don't tell Poppy," Jacob's words were equal to a tacit acknowledgement.

"That's for sure." Samuel showed a sly smile and said, "Mr. Taylor, do you want to let Lucia be back to replace Ms. Powell?"

Jacob pondered for a moment and then replied, "I can't stand her anymore."

Samuel nodded in response to the words, complaining, "Ms. Powell's usually very strict to us, and often let us report your whereabouts to her. She's arrogant Mr. Taylor, what do we need to do in the future? You can tell us."

This was the first time Samuel dared to show dissatisfaction to Poppy in front of Jacob. In fact, he and several other Jacob's subordinates had long been displeased to Poppy. She was not only cranky, but had extremely strict control to the company's financial. She didn't allow them to make some private benefits, and often ordered them to many things. Samuel had long been displeased with her. "Well, we'll talk about that later. By the way, where's Poppy now?" Jacob initially thought Poppy would really come to stir things up, but she was nowhere to be seen from start to finish. "Ms. Powell goes out with her friends. But the more she doesn't care, the stranger I feel." Samuel returned.

"You guys usually take more time to watch her, and report to me if she makes any changes that affect my plans." Jacob openly let his men know that he had begun to watch out for Poppy. In fact, when he heard Samuel say that Poppy had privately asked his subordinates to report his whereabouts, Jacob already had a hidden anger in his heart.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

It seemed that between he and she, there was no trust either.

"Yes!" Samuel responded readily, and the two finished talking about things before leaving the cafe.

It was already past 10 when Lucia arrived home. As soon as she entered the house, she saw Nia was on the couch, bored and on her phone. Theodore had apparently gone to bed in his room. "Nia, thanks." Lucia said apologetically to Nia as soon as she entered the living room. Now that what she had asked her to do was beyond her remit, but there was nothing she could do about it. "No problem," Nia put away her phone and smiled carelessly, asking Lucia who was already sitting beside her, "lucy, whom did you just go to see?"

Lucia gave Nia a straightforward look

Lucia: "I can't say."

"Well..." Nia did not feel lost. Lucia had her own way of doing things, so she will not pursue, but... she still can not help but be curious and concerned, and asked about Arthur's matter, "What's going on with you and Mr. Davies these days?"

Nia suddenly mentioned Arthur. Lucia didn't expect that. The next second, she immediately frowned slightly. A pair of bright eyes flashed the most real pain. Nia and Lucia had known each other for a long time. Immediately, Nia knew that Lucia and Arthur must have some problems between them.

"You and Mr. Davies, did you really break up?" Originally Nia did not want to ask this, but she really could not bear to see Lucia like this. Even if she was willing to say it, perhaps the mood will be much better. "You all saw me hiding from him, right?" Lucia asked softly as she raised her hand and rubbed between her eyebrows.

"Well, it's not just me. All the people saw it." Arthur, who waited downstairs at Jibillion Inc every day, was praised for his affection, but Lucia, by contrast, got a bad reputation for playing with people's hearts, which was the last thing Nia wanted.

"If only ..." Lucia lowered her head. Her voice was like a sigh, and she said in a low voice, "If only we were all not us ..."

Nia frowned at this comment.

"Well, it's very late. It's not safe for you to go back later. It's better to go home early and rest." Without waiting for Nia to wonder more, Lucia looked up and said to her. The pain in her eyes just now, as if it had never appeared, disappeared without a trace.

"Lucy..." Nia felt that it was really bad for Lucia to keep her heart all bottled up in her own mind, and she was still trying to make a final struggle, hoping she would tell her.

"I can't say." Lucia understood what Nia meant, but, really, she couldn't reveal anything.

Nia sighed. Lucia was so persistent. She was not thick-skinned enough to keep asking questions, so she had to get up and say goodbye.

Lucia wanted to walk Nia downstairs, but Nia wouldn't let her, saying that the car was in the underground garage anyway. And it would be bad if Theodore woke up later and couldn't find anyone home. When Nia left, the room was silent. Lucia sat back on the sofa and curled both legs up, hugging her knees as she repeated in a low voice what she had just said to Nia, "If only ... we were not us..." After saying those words, Lucia's shoulders trembled slightly. In the empty room, a faint and low sob sounded quietly.

The next day, when people in Athegate were still sleeping, the city's major printing houses were working feverishly, and many gossip magazines were being moved quickly along with the assembly line. Soon after, when people got up and washed up for work, these magazines were dispatched to various newsstands, and even self-published messages appeared on cell phones.

Under Jacob's manipulation, Lucia, who was already in the limelight, was saddled with the crime of seducing her ex-husband and attempting to destroy his current family. Arthur did not pay attention to gossip magazines. Until noon, Kyle really can not help but take the news reports to him to read, and he only learned about this matter. Arthur read the report word by word, with a pair of eagle eyes turning grim, especially when he saw those photos attached to the report.

In the photos, Lucia and Jacob were sitting across from each other, either looking at each other or chatting calmly. And they seemed to have a good relationship. Even, there was a photo of Jacob holding her hand at the end of the report.

He ignored the reporters' nonsense about Lucia's intention to seduce her ex-husband and so on, but the photos were not deceiving. And it really showed that Lucia did go out to meet Jacob alone last night. Arthur tightened his eyebrows. He was confused and irritable, but had nowhere to vent.
