She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 162

"But ..." Esmae added with a twinkle in her eye, "as to how far you've gone, I won't know it until I talk with Lucia."

"Of course," Spencer didn't mind being doubted and smiled, "Please invest your money in my company after you make sure."

"You seem to have it in the bag," Esmae laughed and said jokingly.

Spencer smiled confidently and did not intend to leave.

"You still have something to say?" Esmae asked Spencer who seemed to have more to say.

Spencer took a breath. Knowing that he couldn't miss this chance of a lifetime, he said to Esmae, "Ms. Wilson, what do you think of me?"

Spencer's sudden question caused Esmae to raise her eyes to stare up at him. "Why did you ask that?"

"Lucia is excellent," Spencer gave an irrelevant answer. Esmae was smart and got his hint immediately.

"Mr. Davies, you are a talented young man, but it's hard to tell if you still have pure feelings in this big bad world."

"I will when I meet the right person," Spencer replied with a smile.

Spencer's purpose was obvious. He knew Esmae had a remarkable influence on Lucia, so he tried to win her favor first. With Esmae's support, he could marry Lucia even if his father opposed it.

"If my memories serve me right, you have been divorced twice," Esmae asked instead of giving an opinion.

"Yep, just business, loveless marriages," Spencer answered frankly.

"Lucia is very discerning," Esmae added.

"I want to pursue Lucia, and it is up to her to say yes or no. I respect you, so I inform you before I woo her." Spencer flattered Esmae.

"Since this is the business between you and Lucia, there is no need to talk to me about it," Esmae replied bluntly, indicating she would not meddle in it.

"Thank you, Ms. Wilson!" Spencer had nothing to worry about now.

Esmae stopped being polite and said, "Save it. It's not up to me to decide. Go back first and come to me if you need my help."

"OK," Spencer answered and said goodbye and left.

When Spencer left, Esmae's face betrayed her true feelings. She sneered and said, "An insincere man like you wants to get Lucia? Dream on!"

Thinking of Lucia, Esmae felt heartbroken. She hadn't seen Lucia look so depressed for a long time, so she went out of the study to find Lucia before Lucia came to her to pour out her heart.

Theodore grew up in Browns Manor, so he had run out to play with the servants' children.
