She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 17

"Are you OK, Lucy?" Nia ran up to her the moment she came back, fearing she had been treated unfairly.

Lucia was amused to see her cautious face and teased her, "I'm perfectly well. Jacob isn't a monster that eats people!"

He was more like an evil demon.

"Who knew what he would do to you..." Nia said anxiously and asked, "Is it done?"

"Yep. Gather everyone in the evaluation department. I'm gonna have a small meeting." Lucia had decided to re-evaluate CTD tomorrow. She didn't believe anyone would step in and screw it up this time.

Everything was going well for Lucia, while someone was making a scene in Jacob's office.

Right now, someone was hitting the ceiling in JTP President's Office.

"What the hell are you thinking, Jacob? Why did you tell the finance officer to turn himself in and admit it? In fact, we've made it already! And we can make a killing from the compensation of Jibillion Inc in half a month. Why do we stop now?"

Poppy was furious this afternoon when the finance officer from CTD told her Jacob wanted him to turn himself in, then she rushed into Jacob's office to throw a fit.

Jacob sat tight on the couch and spoke after Poppy vented out her anger, "Why didn't you tell me that Lucia has come back and become the new executive of Jibillion Inc?"

Poppy was stunned to hear it. After a long while, she asked, "How did you know it?"

"I'm curious why you acted weirdly after you were back from the negotiating with Jibillion Inc last time. What? Can't you be honest with me?" Jacob asked Poppy and skipped her question.

"Jacob..." Poppy knew it was wrong to keep it from him. She chilled out and acted to be wronged the next second.

Then she leaned against him and said pathetically, "It's my fault to keep it from you, but, you two were once married. And I don't know why she came back this time. So, I dared not to tell you without a second thought."

Jacob glanced at her peacefully and didn't comment on her words. Instead, he just gave her the excuse that he had made up at noon, "The reason why I told the finance officer to turn himself in was that Lucia was in charge of the case. You know Lucia bears grudges against us and we should avoid her. But you only care about the compensation money and keep messing up with her. In that case, she will keep finding fault with JTP Group to fight back. Which one do you think is more important, getting compensation money or saving us a lot of trouble?"

Poppy knew clearly that what Jacob said made sense but she was unwilling to give in and murmured to herself, "I just wanted to teach her a lesson..."

"Poppy, you know how we got where we are now. Lucia is the executive of Jibillion Inc now and we can just live in peace with her if she doesn't mean to do anything to hurt us. Stop thinking of messing up with her again. If she hates us and wants to get back at us, how can we live our lives well in the future?"

Jacob knew how serious and picky Poppy was, so he convinced her in earnest.

"What if she does want to do something to hurt us?" Polly asked suddenly.

"At least, we shouldn't provoke her first," said Jacob. He thought of Lucia's delicate and pretty face.

It was true that Lucia had been totally different from before.
