She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 107

"Is it so obvious?" Lucia said in a low voice, putting down the documents in her hands and frowning slightly.

"Lucy, we have known each other for such a long time. If you have any trouble, you can talk to me..." Nia made a suggestion to test how close she was with Lucia.

Lucia's eyes brightened up but finally dimmed. She said softly, "I'm fine. You can go back first. I gotta see the paperwork again."

Nia felt a bit disappointed when her kindness was rejected by Lucia, but she pretended to be calm and said, "Well, then, do not lose track of time or exhaust yourself."

After saying that, Nia left. It was already ten o'clock in the evening. The office area in the company was clothed in darkness, and only the light in the corridor was still on. After Nia left, silence reigned.

The sudden silence made Lucia frown deeply. She was afraid of getting relaxed.

As soon as she relaxed, she would think of Arthur, the way he looked at her, that night when he left firmly, and the doubts about Juliana's accident. They were all like heavy stones that weighed upon her and suffocated her.

She stood up and walked to the French window. Looking out of the window at the bustling city with flickering lights, she wondered if someone was experiencing vicissitudes of life and as depressed as she was.

During this period, Lucia had a hard time, so did Arthur. He was not only troubled by the conflict with Lucia, but he had to face Juliana whose mental state was unstable, which made him feel tired for the first time. And he had never mentioned Juliana's misery to anyone.

It was not because he couldn't be responsible for it, but because he was afraid that Juliana's parents couldn't take such a heavy blow. After all, Juliana was their only daughter, the apple of their eyes.

After thinking for a long time, he finally contacted Sophie.

"Arthur, we'll be back in a few days. You and Lucia come to pick us up together. Teddy misses his mom." Sophie's voice sounded very gentle, which made Arthur feel both calm and bitter.

"Mom..." Arthur's voice was leaden, and what he wanted to say next was weighty and it was quite hard for him to say that.

Sophie was very sensitive. She immediately sensed something wrong when she heard Arthur's voice. She asked, "Is there anything wrong?"

Knowing that it was impossible to keep it a secret all the time, he slowly told Sophie what had happened after Juliana returned home.

Sophie was very shocked when she heard what happened to Juliana.

"How could it be? Julia, she..." Sophie's choked voice said.

"It's my fault. I fail to protect her," he lowered his eyes and said guiltily.

"Arthur..." Sophie felt sorry for her son, but she had to admit that her son should more or less be responsible for Juliana's suffering. Then she could only ask, "How is Julia?"

"She has recovered, but she had an unstable mental state. Sometimes she's normal and sometimes hysterical. Every time she thinks of that thing, she will lose her mind. I feel so sad watching her like that, but I can do nothing. I am so guilt-ridden that I can't face her parents."

"If Juliana's parents know it, they will be very sad..." Sophie said sadly, "but we can't hide it from them. Let me tell them."
