She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 104

The day before yesterday, after Lucia returned home, she passed out, but the bite marks and scratches on her body were still on her body. She was still wearing torn clothes, and those wounds had turned into dark red beads of blood. Coupled with her soft eyes, she looked rather pitiful.

Reaching out and caressing Lucia's face, Arthur frowned and asked, "What the hell have you been doing for the past two days? Why don't you take care of the wounds on your body?"

Two days?

Lucia was silent. She couldn't tell Arthur she had passed out, so she changed the subject, "You have a key, don't you? Why don't you just come in?"

Arthur fell silent.

He had the key, but just now, he didn't have the courage to enter her home as usual. The day before yesterday, in an urgent situation, he was anxiously soothing Juliana. And after that, he recalled what happened to Lucia. As her boyfriend, he didn't take care of her scars, and he felt guilty for it.

Lucia now looked like a real mess. Specks of blood and scars on her body made Arthur heartbroken.

"Let's get in. Let me help take care of your wounds."

Arthur entered the room sideways, closed the door with one hand, and took Lucia's hand with the other.

Being held by Arthur, she struggled a bit subconsciously. She was still frightened when thinking about the way Arthur looked at her that day.

Feeling her struggle, Arthur looked down at her with mixed emotions in his eyes.

Was she afraid of him?

Being stared fixedly at by Arthur, Lucia felt as if she was being burned by his gaze. She pursed her lips and said softly, "No need. Just small injuries."

Arthur sighed silently, took Lucia to the sofa, and found the medical kit handily, ready to take care of Lucia's wounds.

"No need, really..." After touching her face, Lucia knew beads of blood had been clotted. She didn't want to deal with them to make blood flow out, which would remind her of how she suffered that day.

He put down his hand that was holding the alcohol-soaked cotton swab, packed up the medical kit, and put it on the coffee table. Then he turned his head to look at Lucia.

He came here today to know what really happened that day. Though Lucia had explained about her missing, Arthur felt there was more to it. Juliana was his childhood sweetheart. Even if it was someone else, Lucia, who was extremely responsible, would not leave her alone without any scruples. What happened to her that day? Who did she meet?

"Lucia, can you tell me what really happened that day?" Arthur asked softly.

"I've told you. I met a friend. I'm sorry." Lucia did not ask Arthur about what happened to Juliana that day. But she had some suspicions in a flash. Though something bad happened to Juliana that day, Lucia always felt that there was more to it than that.

'First, Juliana's stomach cramped, so I sent her to the guest room for a rest, but I ended up getting drugged. Where was Juliana at that time?

Second, I was set up and Jacob saved me. How could Juliana recover so quickly from the stomachache and go out to find me? Why didn't Jacob meet her?'

With clear thinking, Lucia easily found the loophole.
