She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 117

"Well, I have no idea. I can't find a way to verify which of them tells a lie," Arthur replied. "But let's talk about it later. Now the new year festival troubles me the most. Juliana has to go home, but considering her current situation, it's not a good thing."

"Alas." Sophie sighed deeply.

"Mom, I want to go to the Knight residence with Juliana so that she can deal with her parents," Arthur said after thinking for a while.

"If you go to celebrate the new year with Juliana, her parents will be suspicious." Sophie immediately thought of this.

"So, I want to pretend to be Juliana's boyfriend. This is a good reason for me to go back with her." When Juliana was thinking hard just now, actually Arthur acquiesced to her proposal.

"What?" Sophie's reaction was the same as that of Arthur.

"We have no other way. I will explain to Juliana's parents when Juliana can accept the reality. The first thing I gotta do is to calm down Juliana. In fact, she misses her parents the most after having such a mishap. If Juliana can't go home during the new year festival or is afraid of going home, she will be too pitiful."

Arthur really couldn't leave Juliana alone.

"That's true, but if Juliana's parents take it seriously..." the Knights had admired Arthur since a long time ago. If Arthur and Juliana had feelings for each other, the Knights and the Davies would have become relatives by marriage, so Sophie didn't agree with this suggestion.

"Don't worry. Juliana knows the truth. When she gets over sadness, she will explain it to her parents by then." Arthur had faith in Juliana.

"Well, since you've made up your mind, then do it. But Arthur," Sophie said earnestly, "you have to keep a proper distance from Juliana in this situation. I know women's mindset very well. You're the one she trusts most now. It's easy for her to develop an attachment to you. What if..."

"Mom, how could it be?" Hearing Sophie's words, Arthur couldn't help laughing. "Juliana and I are just good friends. We are just pretending to be in a relationship."

On the other end of the phone, Sophie sighed silently. Her son was too careless.

After hanging up the phone, Arthur finally decided to take Juliana's advice, but he didn't tell her immediately because he had to communicate with Lucia first.

He was holding the phone in his hand for a long time, and on the screen was Lucia's contact number.

After hesitating for a long time, Arthur finally dialed the number.

"It's me." The phone was quickly connected. Lucia's crispy voice came from the other end and flowed into Arthur's heart like a flowing stream.

But he couldn't see that Lucia, on the other end of the phone, was blinking and gripping her phone with both hands so that her hands wouldn't tremble that terribly.

"I have something to talk to you about. Can I go there?" It was late at night. Arthur was worried that it was not safe for Lucia to go out too late, so he suggested it.

"Yes, I'm at home," Lucia answered softly and then hung up the phone.

Hearing the busy tone on the phone, Arthur was stunned for a second. Then he grabbed the suit on the sofa and went out. He could see Lucia now.

After Arthur, who couldn't hold back his excitement, left, Juliana walked out from the corner of the stairs. She had heard all the conversation between Arthur and Sophie just now.

Arthur drove through the dense, flowing traffic to Lucia's house at a high speed.

Arthur couldn't be more familiar with the way to Lucia's place, but when he arrived at the entrance of Lucia's house building, Arthur hesitated. He was really afraid that he couldn't resist the urge to hold Lucia in his arms as soon as he saw him. He sat in the car for a while before he got off and went upstairs.
