She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 24

A hint of helplessness could be seen in Lucia's face when she was linking her arm with Arthur's.

Just now, Arthur took her to a hair salon without saying anything. Then he took her here after the hairdresser styled her.

She didn't know that she was attending the banquet until she saw the guests.

Tonight, with delicate make-up, Lucia wore a long light blue dress and a black coat that Arthur prepared for her for fear she would feel cold. Her dressing set off her pretty complexion, making people unable to take their eyes off her.

As soon as Arthur arrived, he became the focus of everyone's attention. And he was accompanied by the beautiful Lucia. However, when he introduced Lucia to others, he only said that she was "Miss Webb". Many people showed disappointed expressions.

The party tonight was not about business, and the atmosphere was very relaxing.

Arthur found an opportunity to take Lucia to the balcony to avoid those curious gazes.

"Are you tired?" Arthur protected Lucia from those prying eyes.

"Not at all. It's not tiring to drink and eat," Lucia replied with a smile.

"Don't drink too much. You can eat as much as you want," Arthur said considerately.

Lucia was amused by his words. "I'm not a fool," she said.

When the two were talking, a sharp female voice came from behind.

"Hey, isn't this the new CEO of Jibillion Inc, Miss Webb?"

The woman's voice was so familiar to Lucia. Her smiling eyes suddenly turned cold. She pursed her lips and turned around slowly. Sure enough, Poppy and Jacob were standing behind her!

She didn't expect them to come.

"Lucia..." Arthur naturally knew the special relationship between Lucia and the two people behind her, so he whispered to Lucia.

"Wait a minute." Lucia looked up at Arthur and then walked towards Poppy and Jacob. She didn't want to get Arthur involved.

Seeing Lucia coming straight to her, Poppy sneered, "A slut like you could even attend a banquet of the upper class."

"Even you can attend it. Why can't I?" Lucia retorted without even raising her eyebrows.

Poppy's face changed all of a sudden. While Jacob, who was beside her, didn't seem to care about her anger and stared at Lucia without blinking.

Just now, Jacob saw Lucia walking toward him gracefully. Her incomparable beauty stunned him for a moment.

What had he missed back then?

Noticing that Jacob was staring at her, Lucia turned to look at him and said rudely, "Jacob, I think you don't want to lose face here."

Of course, Jacob didn't want to. It was Poppy who took the liberty of speaking just now.

He didn't ignore the man standing next to Lucia, Arthur, the president of Branch of Davonnis!

"Poppy, let's go." Jacob could correctly assess the situation.

"What?" Poppy was unhappy that Jacob was trying to make peace with Lucia. She couldn't understand why Jacob showed mercy to such a slut!
