She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 1070

Chapter 1070 The Double Play

Taking her sister's hand, Eve sat down on the sofa and thoughtfully brewed a cup of red tea for her. She remembered how Lucia always added milk to her own tea for an extra creamy taste, so she did the same and handed the warm cup to her sister.

"Nia, have some tea first. Your hands are cold," Eve said.

Nia couldn't help but mock herself inwardly for only being able to think of coming to Eve in times of despair. But the warm red tea did make her feel better and she tasted a hint of milk in it. She turned to Eve and asked,

"Did you also think about adding milk to your red tea?"

Eve's eyes flickered unnaturally as she replied with an awkward "Mm-hmm."

"It tastes good," Nia didn't notice Eve's hesitation and spoke casually.

"What's wrong?" Eve didn't want to dwell on thoughts about Lucia, so she asked Nia instead.

Slowly putting down the teacup, Nia stared at the slowly rippling surface of the liquid before whispering,

"Kevin might betray me..."

"How could that be!" Eve refused to believe it.

Nia sneered coldly, "Why not? We got together because of mutual interests; he can leave me for his own interests too..."

Her laughter was filled with bitterness.

"That can't be true..." Eve still couldn't believe it. She tried comforting her sister by saying softly,

"I see how Mr. Berry treats you so well... and even went through all that trouble just for you."

"That's why people are never reliable!" Nia suddenly became fierce as she glared at her sister while saying sternly,

"He may seem nice on the surface but who knows what he truly thinks inside? If I hadn't caught him meeting up with Casper behind my back, I would still be kept in dark!"

Once suspicion started brewing inside someone's mind like hers had been doing lately, Nia began doubting if Kevin had ever betrayed Casper or if he was just pretending all along under his orders. Maybe every step that she took was planned out by Casper himself. The more Nia thought about this, the more scared she became.

Eve looked confused when seeing how angry Nia had become, and didn't know what else could comforted her anymore.

After she vented out all those negative emotions, Nia's eyes softened again. She grabbed onto Eve's hand tightly, and said sorrowfully,

"So now, the only person I can trust is you. You're my sister, and there is no way that you will betray me, right?"

If this were before, Eve would have nodded immediately without any hesitation. But now, she looked away from Nia's gaze. It took a long time before finally nodding slightly. Nia immediately noticed something off about Eve's reaction. She furrowed eyebrows together asking,

"What's wrong? Isn't it true?"

"Of course not..." Eve couldn't bear to see her sister so upset, and could only respond, "I won't betray you because you are my sister..."

"Eve!" Nia hugged Eve tightly upon hearing these words and whispered, "I know you're the best. As long as I have you, I won't be afraid anymore."
