She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 1088

Chapter 1088 Heart-to-Heart Talk

Steve was not one to take advantage of others. Even though he knew it was a huge sum of money, his pride wouldn't allow him to covet someone else's belongings.

"Dad..." Eve sighed helplessly, unable to bring herself to say the amount out loud.

Eloise understood and reached over to pat her husband's hand, speaking softly, "Calm down. Eve and Lauren are happy together. Why would you want to break them up? Besides..."

Eloise hesitated, not wanting to reveal the truth.

"Ah..." Steve let out a deep sigh, knowing exactly what his wife meant by her unfinished sentence.

Just as the three of them were feeling low, there came a knock at the door. Eve hurriedly got up to answer it and saw a waiter pushing in a cart full of desserts with a smile on his face,

"Mr. Osade asked me to bring some sweets for Miss Davidson and Mr. and Mrs. Davidson."

"Great." Eve stepped aside as she felt warmth spread through her heart like basking in sunlight.

The waiter served tea for Steve and Eloise before arranging all the desserts neatly on plates in front of them. Eloise's eyes lit up at the sight; what woman doesn't love these little treats?

"Enjoy your meal; let me know if you need anything else," said the waiter respectfully after setting everything up perfectly. Steve and Eloise found themselves slightly uncomfortable with such deference from someone who worked beneath them - they had never experienced such subservience before.

"Thank you," Eve thanked him as he left with a nod and smile.

Lauren may have been generous when it came time for paying bills at restaurants or hotels, but everyone loved being around Eve because she was so likable. She didn't carry any airs despite being accompanied by such an influential man. Eve was gentle, timid, and always greeted everyone with smiles. Additionally, she seemed frail which made people feel sorry for her. So naturally, she won many hearts.

"Lauren is really considerate..." Eloise teased while picking up one dessert after another, making sure that Steve could hear her thoughts clearly.

Steve's expression became even more rigid. He didn't know whether he should reach out or hold back. Eve stifled laughter, picked up some desserts, and handed them over, "Dad, you should try this too."

As their daughter lowered herself, a way presented itself for Steve and Eloise. They could enjoy delicious food together, and their mood also eased somewhat.

A family of three enjoyed some desserts while chatting about personal matters. At 11:30 pm, Eve suggested that her parents should rest well and she also needed to go back to her room.

"Tomorrow, join us in thanking Lauren!" Steve didn't forget to say as Eve left.

"Okay." Eve smiled lightly and held the door for her parents.

The relationship had finally been clarified, and Eve felt much more relaxed. Instead of rushing back to her own room after leaving her parents' room, she went to knock on Lauren's door. She knew he was definitely not asleep.

"You're here so late. Do you want to throw yourself on me?" As he opened the door, Lauren's body was still dizzy with the heat from the shower, and he smiled and teased the shy little flower in front of him.

"Lauren!" Eve just yelled angrily, and immediately lowered her head when she saw Lauren's chest. Her face was hot.
