She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 26

"Be gentle. My nose is being crushed!" Lucia struggled, but Arthur didn't control his strength.

Her nose was against his collarbone, so it would hurt when they collided.

"Okay," Arthur responded and loosened his grip, but he didn't let go of her hand. He felt relieved because it seemed that Lucia wasn't as depressed as before.

The moonlight came in through the window of the balcony and sprinkled on the two people who were leaning against each other. They looked like a dreamy couple from a distance.

At this time, Lucia suddenly murmured, "What is our relationship now?"

"What?" Arthur asked Lucia because he didn't hear clearly what she said.

"Nothing," Realizing what she had said, Lucia said perfunctorily. But Arthur didn't want to let it go so easily.

"Did you ask about our relationship just now?" Arthur loosened his grip on Lucia's arm and lowered his head to look at her.

'You have heard it!' Lucia thought with embarrassment. Her face turned red and she couldn't say a word.

Arthur thought it was time to give Lucia a hint, so he continued, "Lucia, what do you think of our relationship?"

Lucia didn't expect that Arthur would ask her such a question. When she looked up at her reflection in the deep-set eyes of Arthur, she was flustered.

"I... I don't know!" Being stared at by Arthur for a long time, Lucia got more flustered. She had never thought about the relationship between them. This question was too abrupt!

Pushing Arthur away, Lucia turned around and walked towards the door. By the time Arthur came to himself and followed her, he only saw Lucia board a shuttle bus and leave.

He smiled bitterly. He should have taken things slowly, shouldn't he?

When Lucia opened the house door, she saw Sophie waiting for her in the living room.

"Miss Webb, why do you come back so early?" Sophie was a bit surprised. Arthur had told her that he would take her to a party. Now it was still early.

Noticing that Lucia was in a bad mood, Sophie walked over to her and looked at her with concern. Even Theodore, who was doing his homework, ran over.

"Hmm..." Lucia felt tired. She picked up Theodore and pressed her face against her son's.

She never regretted bringing Theodore to the world, even thought he might affect her relationship with her future lover.

"Mommy..." The child was always very sensitive. Theodore sensed his mother's uneasiness and comforted her silently with his arms around her shoulder.

"Miss Webb, did Mr. Davies bully you?" It must be because of Arthur. Sophie quickly asked. If Arthur was indeed the one to blame, she would immediately go home to ask her son!

Sophie's tone of voice was full of concern. Lucia looked at her gratefully but suddenly froze.

Sophie didn't know how to react. She thought, 'Is Lucia staring at my eyes?'

"Miss Webb?" Sophie called Lucia worriedly.

However, Lucia didn't respond. She just stared at Sophie's eyes. To be exact, she was staring at her eyeballs.
