She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 115

The next day, Spencer came to the villa of Fragranerde Hall while Arthur was in the company. He knocked on the door and got in because he was Arthur's cousin.

Of course, Peter couldn't refuse to open the door when Spencer came to the house, but after he let Spencer in, he intentionally led Spencer to the living room to sit down and politely said, "Master Spencer, Master Arthur is not at home now. I will call him immediately to say that you are here."

"Don't bother," said Spencer, sitting on the sofa and waving at will, "I just came by to see him. Just forget it if he is not here."

When Peter heard this, he thought Spencer was leaving. He was relieved when he heard Spencer say,

"Is Julia here?"

Peter's heart thumped. Spencer mentioned Juliana. That was what he was afraid of.

Spencer smiled when he saw that Peter didn't respond. He had expected it, so he stood up and said, "Julia and I are childhood friends. Since both of us returned home, we should meet. Is she upstairs now?"

After saying that, Spencer wanted to go upstairs, but he was stopped by Peter after taking a few steps.

"Master Spencer, Miss Knight is resting now, so she's unavailable."

When Peter stopped, Spencer was surer something had happened to Juliana, so he looked at Peter coldly and asked, "Can't I meet old friends?"

Peter was sweating and didn't know what to do at the moment. When they were in a stalemate, a voice came from the stairway on the second floor.

"Peter, go and make two cups of coffee."

The person who spoke was Juliana.

Peter looked at Juliana in embarrassment and turned to do as she told.

Spencer put on a smile and looked at Juliana who was slowly coming downstairs. He said, "Julia, I haven't seen you for a long time" while his eyes were watching her intently.

Juliana was haggard, or precisely, emaciated.

"Spencer, it's been a long time." Juliana came to the living room and answered politely. If she hadn't just heard Spencer was trying to trouble Peter, she wouldn't have come downstairs anyway.

"Julia, why are you so haggard?" Spencer let Juliana sit on the sofa and asked straightforwardly.

Spencer didn't care if his words would make Juliana uncomfortable. He irritated her on purpose.

"I haven't had a good rest recently." Juliana sat down and made a perfunctory remark. At this time, Peter brought her coffee. When he left, he gave Juliana a worried look. Juliana gave him a wry smile, which was captured by Spencer.

"Julia, we are childhood friends. Although we don't spend much time together, I regard you as my sister. If there is anything, you can tell me."

Juliana didn't appreciate Spencer's kindness. She knew what kind of men Erik and Spencer were. Though she and Spencer knew each other, Spencer never showed his concerns for her before. It was weird that he suddenly did so today.
