She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 203

"We won't be," Spencer replied as he lowered his head and took a sip of red wine to collect his thoughts.

Jacob seemed satisfied with the answer, but he did not know that he had fallen for the trap set for him by Spencer.

The next day, Spencer prepared for the startup of the company in Athegate. He could select a company site in the downtown area, but Spencer chose to start it in the more remote east of the city, far from Arthur's Branch of Davonnis.

Although Jacob did nothing on the surface, he secretly helped Spencer a lot. A month or so later, Spencer's Cloudwork Inc. was established in Athegate. Though it was still unknown in Athegate, the fact that the president was Arthur's cousin made Cloudwork Corp receive a lot of attention as soon as it was started up. It was all over the news.

Spencer invited Arthur to attend the opening ceremony of Cloudwork Corp, and Arthur did not decline.

At the party that night, Spencer invited all of the rich and powerful businessmen in Athegate to the party. Influenced by Monty and Arthur, the crowd came, and Lucia and Eduard were also on the invitation list.

For the first time, Eduard forcefully asked Lucia not to attend such occasions.

"Lucia, you don't have to go to the dinner party tonight." Calling Lucia to his office with the excuse of talking about business, Eduard put forward a childish idea.

Lucia, amused, asked him, "Why can't I go?"

"Spencer harbors bad intentions towards you!" Eduard affirmed, "Try to avoid him if you can. We are not working with him, so we don't have to accept his invitation."

"But you'll be there, right?" Lucia asked Eduard with a smile.

Eduard stopped talking and paused for a while before saying, "I have to go, but you are different!"

"Eduard, I know what you're thinking, but Cloudwork Corp has put me on the invitation list tonight. I think we should better attend it together." Lucia was just trying to defend the reputation of Jibillion Inc.

"You can feign an illness to avoid it!" Eduard demanded.

Lucia was both amused and annoyed. She said, "Who will buy it? Spencer will definitely give you a hard time. He is very calculating, and you better not fight with him head-on. "

Lucia didn't want to implicate Eduard.

"I am not afraid of him!" Eduard knew Lucia's words made sense, but he was undeterred.

"Well, come and pick me up tonight." Lucia made the decision. Though reluctant, Eduard had no choice but to do so.

As the night fell, the whole city became slow-paced. After a day of heavy work, people walked out of the house to take a stroll, attend a party, go shopping, or enjoy peaceful moments.

Eduard came to pick up Lucia at 7:00 a.m., as he had been told. When he saw Lucia coming out of the building, he was so upset that he complained to her before he opened the car door, "Lucia, why are you dressed like that?"

Lucia smiled, looked down at her simple evening dress, and asked Eduard, "Is it out of place?"

"Of course not!" Eduard whined, "You are just too gorgeous in it!"
