She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 223

On Monday, Lucia went to Eduard to ask for leave. Eduard had recovered from the cough after taking medication. He agreed to let Lucia go to the USA to see her son. But seeing Lucia look a little bit weird, he asked, "Lucia, are you going alone?"

Lucia's reply was unexpected. "With Arthur."

"What?" Eduard instantly stood up from his chair in excitement.

"Take it easy. I am afraid you'll be coughing again later." Lucia was honest with him because they were friends.

"I'm not just coughing. I'm about to throw up my lungs!" Eduard came out from behind his desk to Lucia, looked at her with suspicion, and asked, "Lucia, are you silly?"

Lucia smiled and replied, "Teddy needs Daddy."

Eduard understood as soon as he heard this, "So it's because of Teddy, but you're going out with Arthur. He'll ..."

"He can't do anything!" Lucia interrupted Eduard, afraid that Eduard's unfinished words would become a reality.

Shaking his head, Eduard looked at Lucia for a while and asked her, "Lucia, are you looking forward to going abroad too?"

Lucia's eyes dimmed. Eduard was right.

Lucia was happy to see her son with Arthur.

She hid her love for Arthur, but it did not mean that it had disappeared. Even if she knew that she and Arthur could no longer get back together, Lucia was happy and secretly joyful to travel with him. But she did not dare to admit it.

Lucia's silence made Eduard know he was right. With a sigh, he asked, "What about Juliana? Has she agreed to let Arthur go abroad with you to see Teddy?"

Lucia's eyes flashed and she said, with hesitation, "I hadn't thought about this ... Sophie promised to do me this favor, so there should be no problem."

"It was Arthur's mother who agreed to this?" Eduard got the point.

"Well, it's not convenient for me to talk about it with Arthur, so I ask Sophie for help. And she agreed to let me take up a week of Arthur's time," Lucia answered honestly.

"Lucia ..." Eduard shook his head and sighed. "You're such a fool."

Lucia was both annoyed and amused at Eduard's words.

Was she a fool?

Early Tuesday morning, Lucia was woken up by the doorbell. Sitting up in a daze, she went out to open the door in her pajamas. She had guessed who was coming at this time.

As expected, once the door was opened, Lucia saw Arthur.

"Lucia, good morning." Lucia was so dazed and cute every time she just woke up, Arthur wanted to see her lovely drowsy look, so he came knocking on the door at six o'clock on purpose.

"What time is it?" said Lucia in a lazy voice. She had just woken up.

Arthur tried not to look at Lucia's curvy body in her nightgown, restrained the urge to hug her, and looked up, saying, "It's six o'clock."
