She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 196

"You don't need to know these things." Spencer looked a little impatient when hearing Jacob's constant questioning. "Just know that I will help you in the dark."

"Okay, I won't ask. Just remember your promise." Jacob knew he could not do anything with Spencer. After thinking about it, he could only say it in a pretentious way.

Lucia noticed that Nia was in a very good mood lately. She used to work hard, but now she was occasionally distracted, often staring at her phone and giggling every now and then during her free time.

When it was nearly lunch break, Lucia who walked out of the office saw Nia clutching the phone and giggling again, so Lucia went over to her and asked.

"Nia, what's on the phone? Why are you so happy?"

Nia was taken aback and hurriedly stood up to hide her phone behind her back, "Lucy, I'm sorry. I'm not ..."

"It's okay." Lucia grinned when she saw Nia get startled. "I didn't mean to reproach you. I am just a little bit curious."

Nia realized she had overreacted. She blushed for a moment and saw that Lucia had been staring behind her, and only then did she take her phone out shyly.

Lucia was amused by Nia's blush, deliberately stroked her chin in thought, and asked her, "Are you in love?"

"Lucy ..." Lucia's words hit the nerd on the head. Nia's face became even redder.

"Why are you shy? It's a good thing, isn't it?" Lucia winked at Nia and laughed.

"Lucy, I won't let it affect my work!" It was an indirect admission of the fact that she was in love.

"OK, by the way, who is he?" Lucia asked with concern. Nia was her friend and colleague, so she wanted to know who Nia fell in love with.

"Well ..." Nia hesitated for a moment and said shyly with downcast eyes, "I haven't met him yet, I only chatted with him on the internet."

Lucia raised an eyebrow, but was a little surprised when she leaned back in Nia's seat and continued to ask, "Is it an online romance? Is he reliable?"

"Well, I can feel he's reliable from our talk. He lives abroad all the time and says he's going to return to Athegate in the second half of the year to develop his business, so we'll meet him by then." Nia put on a happy smile on her face.

Seeing Nia's happy smile, Lucia was also happy for her. They chatted for a while and it was time for a lunch break, so they went out for lunch together.

"Mr. Burton, the place we're going for lunch is not a fancy place, would you like to go?"

"I can go to any roadside stand!" Eduard said with a pat on his breast.

"Then let's go to a roadside stand," Lucia said deliberately.

"Lucia ..." Eduard called her name resignedly. He was wearing an expensive suit. He would look quite out of place if he was having food at the roadside stall.

"Just kidding," Lucia laughed, turning to Nia and saying, "Mr. Burton's treat today. Let's have steak for lunch."

"Really?" Nia clapped her hands and smiled. "Thanks, Mr. Burton."
