She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 122

"I don't know the whole story..." Poppy's eyes and her tone of voice softened.

"I didn't tell you because I was afraid that you would worry about me. I didn't expect you to misunderstand me," Jacob said seriously. "I didn't travel with you during the new year holiday, because I had to work. Haven't you seen that I worked overtime and stole several projects from Davonnis? Why can't you see the effort I made for us?"

Poppy loved Jacob very much. So, his criticism deflated her instantly, and she leaned against him, saying coquettishly, "Jacob, I'm sorry. I'm just too afraid that you don't love me anymore."

"Why do you have such a ridiculous idea?" Jacob was taken aback by Poppy's sixth sense.

"It's because you don't tell me anything now. Besides, you have a way to hang out alone with her.

I'm afraid..." Poppy spoke her grievances accumulated over the days.

"What are you afraid of?" Poppy was in his arms, so she couldn't see the ruthless look in Jacob's eyes when he said this.

"After all, you have been with Lucia. Though that was a part of our conspiracy, I'm still afraid that you fall for her. Jacob, I'm afraid that you don't love or spoil me anymore." Poppy cuddled up to Jacob's arms and told him in a low voice.

"You little fool, how could it be?" Jacob raised Poppy's chin to make her look at him. Faking a sincere look, he coaxed her, "You just need to remember that what I have done is for our future."

"Okay." Poppy replied sweetly, showing her shyness that she hadn't shown for a long time. They hugged and kissed each other, but it was hard to tell if they were still all one.

Arthur went back home with Juliana to celebrate the new year. He had been there for nearly ten days.

Actually, he didn't want to stay for long. But Juliana's parents seemed to take his relationship with Juliana very seriously. A lot of guests came to visit them at that time, and Juliana introduced Arthur to them one by one.

Up to now, all the members of the Knight family had known Arthur and Juliana were in a relationship.

Juliana even apologized to Arthur for it.

"Arthur, I'm sorry. My parents were so excited that they told all the Knights about our relationship. Thus, relatives came to visit us every day. Sorry for taking up your time."

"It doesn't matter," Arthur replied with a smile. But in his mind, he was not okay with it. Also, he couldn't stand the way Juliana got along with him in the Knight residence.

He promised to be his fake boyfriend and she was his childhood friend, so he didn't mind her being intimate with him in front of outsiders, but Juliana clung to him when no one was around, which made him feel weird.

"We can go back tomorrow," said Juliana.

"We?" Arthur's eyes flashed. He looked at Juliana and asked, "Are you going to Athegate with me? How about your work?"

After the holiday, Arthur thought Juliana would go back to work at the university.

"I quit it," Juliana said indifferently.

"I remember that you love that job very much..." Arthur said pitifully.

Juliana had a good career development at the university. It was said that she would soon be the department director.

"That doesn't matter anymore," Juliana said with a bitter smile as her eyes dimmed. Since that incident, she could give up everything except her hatred for Lucia!

Knowing that Juliana had remembered something sad, Arthur quickly changed the topic. "You can stay at your home."
