She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 10

"Someone called me," Theodore murmured. Then he took out his phone, deftly clicked the "accept", and pressed the "speaker on".

"Boy, where are you?" Arthur and Sophie heard a crisp and soft voice from the phone.

"Mom, I am staying with Uncle. I didn't tell you because you were too busy. Don't worry. He will send me back after a while," Theodore lied with an innocent face.

"Well." Lucia's knitted brow became slightly smooth again. She was so anxious when hearing that her boy was not in the lounge. Fortunately, he was safe.

However, who was the uncle?

"Mom knows you have your own take. But you need to be careful about everything and everyone you confront. Right?" Arthur felt strange about the dulcet female voice. It seemed that something tugged at his heartstrings.

"I know, mom. Goodbye." Theodore hung up after responding with a few words sweetly. He then raised up his face and saw that Sophie was looking at him smilingly.

"Hey, I don't know about your name. And who's your mom?" Sophie asked him in a light voice.

"My name is Theodore," Theodore replied.

"Nice name..." Sophie didn't hide her liking for him and asked, "How about your mom?"

"The woman with you that day, humph?" Arthur said coldly. He wasn't like his mother who was easily influenced.

"Huh?" Theodore tilted his head and explained, "She is my mom's assistant."

It wasn't she?

Arthur paused and understood why the voice made him feel strange.

"My mom is Lucia. Arthur, would you like to meet with her later?" As soon as Theodore introduced his mother, he seized the opportunity to set him up with his mom. He never forgot his aim here.

"Later? I never say I will send you back." Arthur knew Theodore had his own way of "lobbying", and he wouldn't get trapped easily.

Perceiving his impatience, Sophie turned and said to Arthur with her eyes squinting,

"Arthur, it's dangerous for such a boy to be outside alone. You won't leave him alone, will you?"

Arthur was familiar with the "threat" in Sophie's words, thus he kept silent and agreed.

Sophie smiled with satisfaction because she knew her son had compromised. And she asked Arthur to get some snacks and chatted with Theodore on the crouch. What she asked most was Lucia.

From the chat, Sophie knew that Theodore had no idea about his father, and his mother was always single.

Theodore understood that Lucia did feel worried about him and nodded immediately, promising that he would never do it again.

"Where is the uncle? Mommy wants to thank him." Lucia was satisfied with his attitude, but she didn't forget "the uncle" he mentioned before.

"There..." Theodore pointed at the Rolls-Royce Phantom. However, when Lucia looked at it, she found the window wasn't lowered. It seemed that he didn't attempt to meet her.

Lucia smiled and ignored his "discourtesy". She held Theodore in her arms and bowed down slightly to the direction of the driver's seat, expressing her gratitude for looking after her son.

As she raised her head, she found the car had left. She cared less about it and turn around, chatting with Theodore, and returned to Jibillion Inc.

Sophie was waiting for Arthur to return home. She was really interested in the situation of their meeting. However, she was unsatisfied with the answer and stared at Arthur, "You just stay in the car? Even no greeting?"

"I don't know her," Arthur replied casually, sitting down on the crouch languidly.

"Arthur, the child was four. I remember...you are sent to Athegate for market research 5 years ago. Is it possible..." Sophie didn't think it was a guess. She was almost certain about it.

That was right. Arthur had been to Athegate 5 years ago. At that time, he was still a student at MIT who was sent here to do market research for the preparation of the Branch of Davonnis. He stayed here for about half a month, and...

Arthur frowned tightly.
