She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 266

Asking Lucia to watch out for Esmae, Sophie and Arthur both know it was embarrassing for her, so Sophie didn't mention it to Lucia but asked her son to do so. After all, Teddy was their child.

"I understand," Arthur said cautiously, but Lucia didn't speculate for no reason. She smiled and said, "I'll go get Teddy back when the Poppy thing is over. Don't worry."

Arthur hugged Lucia's shoulders, resting his chin on her forehead and frowning slightly, "Sorry, Lucia, for making it difficult for you."

Lucia shook her head in Arthur's arms. As long as the three of them could be reunited, she was willing to go against Esmae. And she would think of other ways to repay Esmae's kindness to her.

Kane had not disturbed Poppy these days. Every day Poppy stayed on the sofa in Kane's living room except for eating and sleeping. Either she was hugging her knees to look at the ceiling, or she was lying on her side with empty look. When Kane walked by her side, she was ignorant.

Kane was anxious. It had been three days. He knew that Lucia had other things to deal with. Now he was stuck on whether Poppy can reflect on her regrets, but this matter can't be rushed unless Poppy figured it out by herself. Otherwise, no one can force her.

On the afternoon of the fourth day, Kane had just bought dinner from outside, and when he got home, he found Poppy lying on the sofa waiting for him. And her eyes looked surprisingly sober.

"Time to eat." Kane quietly put the food on the coffee table and said to Poppy.

"Kane, do you have a way to invite Lucia here?" Poppy asked Kane without any movement.

Kane raised his brows and looked at Poppy. He saw that her eyes were calm, not as unfathomable as before. She seemed to really want to see Lucia, so he asked,

"What are you going to do with Lucia?"

"Want to talk to her..." Poppy said lightly.

"Poppy, if you don't think clearly, don't ask Lucia rashly. Although the killers have already been caught, Jacob still has a backer if you can't prepare for it. If you can't negotiate with Lucia and Jacob finds out, then you will be in a bad situation. It's more dangerous." Kane frowned.

"It's not a negotiation. It's just a chat." Poppy said indifferently. Now she spoke with a tone and attitude that seemed to let everything go.

"Are you sure?" Kane asked again.

"Sure, if you can invite her, it's the best. If you can't, I'll find her myself." Poppy said after making up her mind.

Kane had been hiding the situation around her from Poppy. In fact, Arthur had already sent people to guard near his apartment building. Jacob had no chance to take advantage of it. The reason why Kane exaggerate it just to scare Poppy and let her stay here. Now when he heard she wanted to see Lucia, even willing to take a risk, Kane was sure she was serious.

"Okay, I'll give it a try." Kane nodded solemnly and promised.

After some "manipulation", Kane "brought" Lucia to see Poppy the next morning.

Entering Kane's house, Lucia saw Poppy sitting on the sofa at a glance. Looking at her appearance, Lucia had mixed feelings in her heart.

At this time, Poppy was facing the sky, and looked haggard. She was no longer flamboyant, but there was a worry hidden in her eyes, and she didn't look so disgusting.
