She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 280

"That's good. I was afraid you'd go soft on him someday," Arthur said, only half-jokingly.

"Not to him. No matter what Poppy did to me, after all, at first she really thought of me as a friend. And then she got all twisted up inside, but Jacob was different," Lucia continued, with her eyes growing heavy,

"In the past, I didn't have any guesses about he treated Poppy, but for me, he was purposeful from the start. Every word he said to me was a lie, and every move he made to me was a ruse. No one would ever forgive him. No, not even a ghost!"

Seeing the unquenchable hatred in Lucia's eyes, Arthur could sense her feeling of being betrayed and framed. He held her even tighter and said softly,

"It's a bit of a boast to say so myself, but it's a good thing you met me."

Lucia didn't know whether to laugh or cry at Arthur's words. Was this guy too thick-skinned? So she put her index finger on Arthur's chest and moaned,

"Really? I don't think so. I've been hurt just as much since I met you as I was with Jacob."

When Arthur heard this, his eyes darkened and his thin, sexy lips pursed. He released Lucia, stared at her eyes and said seriously,

"Lucia, I'm sorry for doing so many things to hurt you, but I want you to know that one thing has always been the same. I love you and I haven't changed. You can't say that it's a game anymore."

Lucia did not expect Arthur to take her words seriously. She was also surprised that he remembered the angry words she had said in the parking lot. This was the first time she had seen Arthur look so aggrieved. A pair of bright eyes emitting the charm all the time also look vulnerable at the moment, which let her be distressed for it.

Lucia's heart ached and softened when she realized that she was the only one who could make the mighty Arthur look at her that way.

Looking up, Lucia leaned into Arthur's arms and said,

"Stupid, I'm kidding."

"Not even in kidding!" said Arthur who was overbearing, but gently.

Lucia's heart ached. She put her hand over Arthur's head and whispered in his ear,

"It was really nice meeting you."

The next day Lucia awoke in Arthur's arms. The storm had passed and the scene outside the window was bright and sunny.

Secretly stretching her waist, Lucia gently rolled over to lie by Arthur's side. She looked at his sleeping face, and smiled unconsciously. Happiness was like a wild horse running loose, hitting her chest with all its might, almost broke out.

He said she was the love in his life.

So did she.

Thinking about it, Lucia smiled more brightly.

When Arthur opened his eyes, he saw Lucia smiling sweetly beside him. The warm sunshine shone down from the window. In a trance, he seemed to see a pair of wings spread out behind her.

"Awake?" said Lucia softly. "It's sunny."

Leaning over Lucia's forehead, Arthur replied gently, "Yes, it's sunny."
