She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 15

Was that Lucia?

When Lucia saw the shock on Jacob's face, she let out a faint smile instead.

She had never forgotten the bad blood between them.

"Jacob, it's been a long while. Do you still remember me?"

Jacob was speechless.

Lucia smiled again, not minding his silence. She sat opposite him. Her identity was self-evident.

After staring at Lucia for a long while, he finally figured out what to say, "How would you…"

Clearly, he had realized that the new executive of Jibillion Inc who had asked to meet him was none other than Lucia!

"I asked you out today to talk about something and solve something." Lucia had anticipated his reaction, but she had no intention to make a great fuss about it.

What was she going to talk about? What was she going to solve?

Was she coming to take back everything?

His suspicion and envy were too obvious.

Albeit contemptuous of Jacob, Lucia set aside personal grudges and continued, "Didn't Poppy tell you that I'm back?"

Speaking of Poppy, he realized why she appeared weird that day, after negotiating at Jibillion Inc, she must have bumped into Lucia!

"It seems she didn't…" The corner of Lucia's lips went up slightly as she said in a lowered voice.

"What did you say?" Jacob said while suppressing all the amazement and surprise he got from Lucia.

Jacob was already suspicious, and it was unnecessary for Lucia to sow discords between him and Poppy, and thus, she shifted the subject to business, "You don't have to worry about anything. Now I'm the executive of Jibillion Inc. I do everything for the sake of my company. The reason why I asked you out is mere that Poppy won't remain calm the moment she sees me. It's not good for both of us."

He remained silent as consent to Lucia's words and waited for her to continue.

"During our assessment of CTD, we didn't make any mistake, but the result was about five million away from the correct one. Have you heard about it?"

Jacob gave her a cautious look. He nodded slightly. Somehow, when Lucia was speaking, he could not help staring at her lips…

"I have identified the reason why we were wrong." She suddenly looked up, her eyes fixed on those of Jacob's.

Jacob felt as if he was falling into deep water. Lucia's words made his heart skip a beat. A great many thoughts flooded into his mind. But cunning as Jacob was, he appeared calm and asked instead, "If you have identified the problem, then you should solve it. Why are you coming for me?"

"Because it is JTP Group that creates the problem!" Lucia answered honestly as she continued to stare at him.

Jacob soon understood that she had probably found out the mole he bought off in CTD. But she was just saying, right? She had no evidence.

"Is it?" Jacob said nothing more. The person in front of him was more than his rival.
