She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 1105

Chapter 1105 Bottom Line

"Okay, Nia, stop pressuring her," Kevin played the good cop and then subtly glanced at Nia with no trace of mercy in his eyes. "Eve has her own difficulties too."

Nia snorted heavily and turned away from Eve.

Eve slowly stood up and approached her angry sister. She spoke softly, like a mosquito, "Nia, I'll ask Lauren about it when I go back today..."

Nia's face relaxed after hearing this. She grabbed Eve's hand and said earnestly, "Eve, I really don't want to pressure you but look at what Casper is doing now. If we don't strike first, we'll be doomed!"

At dinner time, Lauren noticed that Eve had lost her appetite again just by looking at her once. He knew immediately why - she had gone to see Nia today.

Because of their different eating habits, Lauren didn't have the habit of serving food for others but seeing Eve so lifeless, he picked up a piece of meat and put it in her bowl for the first time ever. In a deep voice, he said, "Eat."

It was as if Eve came back to life after that moment; finally she wasn't staring off into space anymore.

"Eat," Lauren repeated but this time Eve put down the fork and looked at him blankly with an expression that seemed hesitant yet wanting to say something.

Lauren sighed deeply then put down his utensils before looking directly into Eve's eyes without saying anything himself either.

The restaurant was filled with laughter as people ate their meals while chatting happily around them, but there seemed to be some kind of protective shield surrounding both Lauren and Eve, which isolated them from all the joyous atmosphere around them. They were locked in an intense stare-down game using only eye contact between each other.

"Lauren..." Finally unable to bear it any longer, Eve whispered carefully: "... what happened with Casper?"

Lauren's eyebrows twitched slightly before telling her, "My men are still trying their best to find opportunities but Casper seems aware that someone is following him. So, he always has many bodyguards around him, making it difficult for us."

"Erm..." Eve didn't know what else she could say or do about this situation anymore...

"Nia asked you to hurry me along?" asked Lauren instead.

Even didn't answer directly but burying head down, which already meant yes anyway.

"Look around you," suddenly said by Lauren, which made Even confused. So, she looked around herself without understanding why… There wasn't anything unusual happening here.

"This is a peaceful country. As long as one can live, everyone strives towards their own goals. Of course, there are scheming opportunists, but there aren't many who truly have the heart to harm others. You've never hurt anyone's feelings, but you've unknowingly become an accomplice. If it weren't for Nia, perhaps no one would imagine that a girl like you would ask someone if they had taken another person's life."

Eve felt a wave of dizziness and guilt wash over her like wild weeds growing in her heart. It was almost suffocating, especially with Lauren's gaze on her that seemed to hold some sort of discomforting meaning.

Looking at Eve's tearful expression, Lauren let out a soft sigh and placed his hand over hers before asking gently,

"If I were to tell you now that Casper is dead, Eve - how would you feel?"

Eve instinctively bit her lip as the answer in her heart threatened to spill out - she'd feel guilty even if the person was wicked!
