She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 1112

Chapter 1112 Quarrel

"Eduard!" Daphne knew that Eve was easily embarrassed and didn't want him to scare her off with his carefree attitude, so she turned and shouted, already adopting the stance of a matriarch.

At the sound of his name, Eduard immediately dropped his playful demeanor and ran over to help Daphne up. His actions made Eve laugh out loud, realizing that he had been too forward. She quickly covered her mouth with her hand, looking adorable in the process.

"Go ahead and laugh," Juliana remembered their earlier feud and grinned at Eve. "He's just a jester."

"Mrs. Fletcher, who are you calling a jester?" Eduard puffed out his chest indignantly but deflated as soon as Daphne gave him a sidelong glance. He looked pitifully wronged.

Eve was amazed by this side of Daphne she had never seen before; it seemed like one could be willful and uninhibited in front of someone they loved.

Thinking about this made her turn to Lauren for a moment only to find him smiling back at her; it made her heart skip a beat.

"Come on in," Lucia thoughtfully invited everyone inside before dinner time arrived. They all found seats after returning to the living room.

After introducing themselves briefly, Lauren looked around before asking, "Where's Arthur? Hasn't he arrived yet?"

Lucia smiled coyly while Eduard jumped in first, "Arthur is cooking right now! What would we eat if not for him?"

Lauren's expression seemed like he'd heard something absurd, "Arthur is cooking?"

"Let me take you there." Eduard wanted an excuse to supervise Arthur anyway so he invited Lauren along with him without hesitation.

Lauren couldn't refuse such an offer; how could he miss seeing Arthur cook? However, because of Eve's shyness towards strangers, he hesitated for a moment but then Lucia teased him playfully, "Go ahead! We can still eat your little flower even if you're gone!?"

Eve couldn't help but smile at Lucia's teasing words while nodding encouragingly towards Lauren who finally went off feeling reassured by them both.

They left the living room through the bar area into the kitchen. Arthur was wearing an apron over his work clothes while stirring something carefully on top of stove burners - pink against white - there wasn't anything unusual about how seriously focused or dedicated Arthur appeared despite being dressed differently than usual, which impressed them both equally well enough.

Well... he certainly knew how to be domesticated!

"Arthur, I didn't know you could cook?" Lauren leaned against the doorframe, not wanting to miss this rare opportunity to tease Arthur.

Arthur was surprised to hear Lauren's voice and couldn't believe he was here. "We were invited by Eve's friend, Miss Cook," Lauren explained with a smile as he enjoyed seeing the surprise on Arthur's usually calm face.

"Oh," Arthur quickly accepted this fact and turned his attention back to the pot of food he was cooking. At that moment, Eduard came over and tried to supervise him in the name of looking out for his wife. Without hesitation, Arthur elbowed him in the stomach causing Eduard to shout in pain while retreating. "Get lost! You're getting in my way!"

"Arthur, you're using dirty tricks!" Eduard complained while holding his stomach.
