She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 130

"Juliana, don't you know me?" Arthur didn't answer but asked.

Juliana shook her head. Her round and big eyes were full of innocence.

"If you know me well, don't make any needless guesses. Now you just need to calm down and rest. Don't think too much." Arthur glanced at Juliana and finally softened his tone.

"Arthur, I'm sorry..." Juliana apologized at the right time. Her eyes began to brim with tears again.

She continued, "Now the only person I can rely on is you. If you don't believe me, I don't know what to do..."

The weakness Juliana showed was in stark contrast to her previous aggressiveness. She knew showing weakness could arouse Arthur's guilt.

As expected, when Arthur saw her pitiful look, his eyes turned soft and he said, "Well, that's it. By the way, thank you for sending my parents to the airport."

"Don't mention it. I have seen them as my parents!" Juliana laughed through her tears.

Seeing Juliana look better, Arthur thought she had regained control of herself, so he said, "I won't come back for dinner tomorrow night. Enjoy your dinner at home."

"Arthur, why don't you come back?" Juliana asked anxiously.

"Mr. Simon Ware will hold a party tomorrow evening to mark his daughter reaching adulthood. He takes this chance to invite all the celebrities in Athegate to it. I gotta socialize with them, and you can have a good rest at home," Arthur replied.

"I want to go with you!" Juliana grabbed Arthur's arm and blurted out.

"You want to go with me?" Arthur raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Well, I've been staying at home for a long time. If it goes on, I'm afraid I'll be isolated from the world, so... I want to go with you." Juliana wore a self-mocking smile.

"I thought you were not ready for a big crowd of strangers." Arthur didn't think it was a good idea.

On this kind of occasion, everyone appeared hypocritical. Even if she wanted to connect with others, she had other choices. Thus, he didn't approve of her decision.

"I'm afraid," Juliana said without hiding the fear in her eyes. "But I don't want to be down all the time. Arthur, I can't rely on you all my life. Let me attend the party as your female companion, please."

Juliana's pleading look and voice made it hard for Arthur to refuse. He finally agreed, but he was a bit worried. Eduard was on the list of people to invite, and perhaps Lucia would attend it, too. He hoped that it wouldn't happen.

Juliana had her consideration. She guessed that Eduard would attend the party. It didn't matter if Lucia would attend it or not. But she couldn't let Arthur go alone.

After all, Eduard was the witness that night. It would be terrible if Eduard blabbed about it in front of Arthur!

Also, Juliana wanted more people to know she and Arthur were in a romantic relationship.

At noon on the second day, before taking a noon break, Eduard came to Lucia and told her that Mr. Ware would hold a party tomorrow evening to mark his daughter reaching adulthood, and that both he and Lucia were on the list of people to invite.

It had been a few months since she returned to Athegate. Lucia had engaged with several famous big projects in the industry, and her pretty look and elegance attracted a lot of attention. Therefore, it was not strange that Mr. Ware put her name on the list.
