She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 1072

Chapter 1072 Layered Design

"You can't just cut off our sisterly bond with me because of him, Eve. He thinks I'm behaving improperly, but has he ever asked me why I'm doing this? He only sees the surface, and only you can understand my pain, Eve. I hope you can be happy and be with him. If he really doesn't want you to have anything to do with me, then I..." Nia looked sorrowful and appeared selfless.

"Nia, don't say that!" Eve quickly grabbed her sister's hand and looked at her sincerely, "You are my sister and that will never change. Lauren just doesn't understand your difficulties yet. If I keep pleading with him, maybe he'll agree."

"Really?" Nia raised an eyebrow in joy.

"But there is one thing," Eve continued to look at her sister seriously. "If Lauren is willing to help you get rid of Casper, make sure you don't go against Lucia again in the future while managing the company well... would that be okay?"

"When did I ever want to go against Lucia? It's not like I have a choice either! But I promise you that as long as Casper no longer poses a threat to me, I will never go against them again! All for self-preservation so we can expand my company for our parents' retirement!" Nia promised solemnly even bringing up their parents.

Seeing how sincere her sister was being made Eve determined - she had decided she would help!

While Nia was talking with Eve about all this stuff, Lauren was searching through crowds of people alone looking for her trail. He was feeling regretful about telling everything to Eve.

He had lived a life of luxury since birth where power was always under his control; however now lost in unfamiliar streets, he had no idea what else he could do or who else he could turn too.

As time passed into afternoon hours, it finally dawned on him how useless blindly searching around like a headless chicken had been. Right when he pulled out his phone readying himself to call Lucia for assistance though, suddenly it rang by itself before any action could take place from him first- seeing the caller ID, it wasn't anyone other than Eve?! She finally turned on her phone!

"Eve! Where are you?" His voice lacked its usual calmness.

"I'm on Terrace Street... I'm so cold... can you come pick me up?" Her voice sounded weak as if she were barely holding onto consciousness anymore.

"Wait for me there! I'll be right over!" Lauren quickly grabbed a passerby and asked for directions after memorizing the address. He was surprised to find that he wasn't far from her location, so he ran towards the street with long strides.

Fifteen minutes later, Lauren saw Eve shivering in the crowd. He noticed that Eve was only wearing thin clothes and didn't even have a coat on. Lauren felt both heartbroken and angry as he ran through the crowd towards her, taking off his own coat and putting it on Eve before wrapping her tightly.

"Why are you so stubborn?" Lauren looked at Eve's pale face and lips angrily.

Eve's lips trembled from the cold as she remembered what her sister had told her not to let Lauren know that she came looking for her. When leaving Stable Growth, according to what her sister had instructed, she came here without thinking about why she didn't bring an extra coat with herself, but let her suffer in the cold wind instead.

But now, wrapped up in Lauren's warmth despite his loud scolding made Eve feel warm inside too because he cared about her well-being.

"He is worried about me." Inwardly happy at this thought, Eve forgot how much trouble it caused him when sneaking out alone earlier.
