She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 1103

Chapter 1103 Think Hard

"Not only that," Leon lowered his gaze, unable to meet Casper's hostile eyes. "If we openly go after Nia, the rumors will only get worse."

"Hmph," Casper snorted coldly. "Does Nia think I won't be able to do anything about her now? Does Lucia think rescuing her will clear her name and absolve her of any involvement with me? They're both delusional."

"Mr. Wood... what do you mean?" Leon was confused by Casper's words.

"Tomorrow morning, you'll be waiting outside Webbex Group bright and early. This time, let's see how she tries to hide from me!" Casper's eyes darkened as he slammed his cup onto the table.

The next morning, Leon and Sage braved the cold weather as they crouched outside Webbex Group building. They hadn't eaten breakfast yet but Sage had bought them some food which they ate while keeping watch.

"Leon, who are we supposed to be watching for?" Sage asked innocently.

"Obviously it's Lucia," Leon replied absentmindedly. "Keep a close eye out for her car and let me know immediately if you spot it. I didn't sleep well last night."

With that said, he put down his half-eaten breakfast and closed his eyes to rest while leaving Sage in charge of surveillance.

Not long after that, Sage woke up a drowsy Leon who had actually fallen asleep, "Leon! Lucia just drove into the underground parking lot!"

"Is there anyone else in the car with her?" Leon asked groggily.

"Nope, just her alone." Sage answered honestly.

"Good job! Let Mr. Wood know right away." Suddenly alert again, Leon informed Casper of Lucia's whereabouts. Soon enough, Casper's car arrived near Webbex Group building. He instructed them over phone call to continue monitoring while waiting for Arthur.

"I need some rest now," said Leon passing on instructions from Casper, "Let me know immediately when Arthur shows up."

"All right." Sage agreed before taking out their phone once they were sure that Leon was asleep. They sent a message to an unknown number before deleting all traces of it.

As soon as Lucia arrived at work today, Gracie greeted her with stacks of files organized neatly according to category.

"Ms. Webb, there are two important meetings today plus your appointment with Mr. Berry this afternoon." Gracie informed.

"All right, remind me when its time," Lucia replied taking hold of those files before heading towards her office knowing full well another busy day awaited.

Shortly after Gracie returned back at desk, she heard noises coming from elevator area. She stood up curiously only realizing too late that it was none other than Casper himself standing there staring back at her.

"Mr. Wood," Gracie quickly stopped Casper's footsteps. "Ms. Webb has an important meeting today, so she can't see you for now."

"Hasn't it started yet? I'll tell her something important." Casper said to Gracie while maintaining a superficially amiable expression.

"Then I'll let her know first." Gracie insisted, but Casper waved her away the next second.

"No, I'll leave after a few words." Casper's gentlemanly appearance concealed arrogance.

"Mr. Wood!" Gracie tried her best to stop, but she the petite girl couldn't stop the tall Casper. The two argued all the way to Lucia's office door.

"Go and make two cups of tea." Casper glanced at Gracie lightly, pushed the door open and walked in with an unceremonious order.

Where would Gracie listen to him? She quickly followed up and said sorry to Lucia.
