She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 134

Arthur was startled. He stared at the lady in a dreamy purple dress in front of Eduard and froze.

Lucia, why!

"I've told you not to justify it for me..." Lucia's soft voice was like a drop of icy water hitting the stone.

Then she turned her head and looked straight at Arthur. "Mr. Davies, you went too far..."

Arthur's heart contracted at her words. He withdrew his hand and explained, "Lucia, I didn't mean it..."

"I'm fine," Lucia said casually, touching her cheekbones. "I've suffered the same before. Did it make you feel better?"

"Lucia!" Before Arthur could say anything, Eduard turned her around anxiously.

Seeing the red bruise on her cheeks, he said worriedly, "Why did you take it for me!"

"What a lovey-dovey couple!" Watching their interaction, Juliana held Arthur's arms and said sarcastically.

"Julia!" Arthur couldn't feel guiltier. Juliana's sarcasm made him more ashamed to face Lucia.

"I didn't say anything wrong..." Juliana pouted and buried her face in Arthur's arm. The two looked very intimate.

"Arthur, you've gone too far!" Pushing Lucia behind him, Eduard confronted Arthur again, but he was pulled aside by Lucia the next second.

"Stop it!" Lucia stretched out one arm over Eduard's chest to stop him and turned to look at Arthur, "Mr. Davies, you haven't answered me yet. Did it make you get better?"

"Stop pretending a strong lady!" Juliana blurted out before Arthur said a word. "Your dear Mr. Burton rushed over to us and babbled a lot just now to seek justice for you. He even taunted me. Lucia, with a man's support, do you really see yourself as somebody?"

"Juliana!" Anxious, Arthur pulled Juliana away from his arm and rebuked her, "You cross the line!"

"Arthur, are you mad at me because of her?" Juliana folded her arms over her chest and complained tearfully, "Have you forgotten what Eduard just said about me?"

"That has nothing to do with Lucia." Arthur was unaffected by Juliana's words.

After he accidentally hurt Lucia, his guilt for Lucia prevailed over his sympathy for Juliana.

Juliana realized Arthur was really angry, so she shut her mouth smartly, but she still stared at Lucia with hatred.

"Lucia, I was impulsive just now. I didn't expect your sudden appearance." As Juliana stopped making a fuss, Arthur finally had the chance to apologize to Lucia.

"Does it hurt?" Arthur asked cautiously.

"Kind of," Lucia answered honestly, without any resentful look on her face. "But I've said I am fine. Could you let this thing slide?"

"Okay," Arthur replied immediately, as long as Lucia did not stare coldly at him.

As soon as Arthur finished his words, Lucia said to Eduard, "Let's go back. I can't stay here anymore."

Eduard turned to glare at Juliana and left with Lucia cautiously.
