She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 173

"She will contact you when the time comes. That's all." Spencer hung up after saying that, leaving Jacob worried on the other end of the phone.

The next day, Spencer left Athegate, and took a direct flight back to San Francisco.

Before leaving, he made a call to Lucia to tell her that he was leaving. Lucia talked with him politely, showing no intention to stop Spencer from leaving. Spencer felt pity, but could not do anything about it. He couldn’t alert Lucia for now.

After Spencer left, Jacob's mood was even worse. He couldn't figure out who Spencer asked to help him and if that guy was able to protect him from Arthur’s retaliation. Recalling Arthur's warning, Jacob couldn't sleep well at night.

When he was anxious, Poppy, as his wife, was not considerate and even constantly annoyed him. Jacob felt she was too moody and unreasonable, throwing tantrums from time to time and making him unable to rest.

Finally, one night, when Poppy complained loudly about the chef's unappetizing cooking, Jacob couldn't help but flare up. He slammed the fork on the table and yelled at Poppy.

"Poppy, that's enough! All you do is throw tantrums all day long. Do you have anything else to do?"

Poppy was shocked by the sound of the fork hitting the table. When she recovered herself, she saw Jacob glaring at her with a sullen face, and she couldn't hold back her grievance anymore.

"I didn't lose my temper with you. Why are you angry!"

After she finished her speech, she slammed her fork on the table like Jacob did, but it didn’t frighten Jacob at all.

"If you have something to say to me, just tell me directly. You don't have to get mad at other people and complain about me every day!" Jacob was getting sick of Poppy's bad temper.

"Do I dare?" Poppy said sarcastically on purpose.

Jacob heaved a sigh. He had long known he had nothing to say to her. Seeing her fearless face, he stood up and said, “I'm full.”

When he was about to go upstairs, Poppy spoke, "Jacob, I want you to tell me what's going on with you and Lucia!"

Jacob turned his head. She was finally willing to confess her true thoughts.

"Nothing is going on between us. But she did call me after you went to her. Guess what she said?" Jacob said to Poppy.

"What did she say! What she dared say!" Poppy frowned and said snappishly.

"She asked you to stop coming to her to embarrass yourself. She also asked me to control you! What are you thinking? You know we're rivals, but you went to her office to make a scene. Poppy, do you really think you're invincible?" Jacob had long been tired of warning Poppy not to be so impulsive.

"How dare she say that about me!" Knowing that Lucia contacted Jacob, Poppy was furious. She sprang up to her feet and slammed the table fiercely after knowing what Lucia had said about her.
