She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 32

Theodore knew that his mommy dressed up to attend the party with her boss tonight. Arthur, who had also been invited, had to go alone.

As a clever boy, he noticed the relationship between Arthur and Lucia was hitting a new level.

Arthur glanced down at his mischievous son and chose to remain silent, but he did not expect Sophie to join Theodore.

"That's very generous of you, my son." Based on her understanding of her son, Sophie thought he might snatch Lucia from Eduard. But he didn't.

Hearing that, Arthur glanced at Sophie and said nothing.

"Grandma, I want to be as generous as Uncle Arthur in the future." Seeing that Arthur was unaffected, Theodore made sarcastic remarks to irritate Arthur.

"Well, Theodore, you will be a generous boy," Sophie said, looking at Arthur.

Theodore and Sophie teamed up and finally got Arthur mad. He tossed his hair irritably, and at last expressed his true thoughts.

"Do you think I want to do that? To get her all dressed up and go off with another man? I'm not that selfless yet. But that's Lucia's job. What am I supposed to do? To tie her up?"

Theodore and Sophie smiled at each other when Arthur no longer hid his real thoughts. Arthur's outburst was what they expected.

So, when Arthur's face turned red because of anger, Sophie opened the door and said to him.

"Well, it's time for you to leave, son. You know, Lucia is attending the party with her boss, but she doesn't have to be by his side the whole time."

With that, Sophie gave a playful wink. She was old, but she was a girl at heart, so it didn't look weird when she gave a girlish wink.

Arthur's eyes lit up, and he seemed to take Sophie's hint.

Finally, he stopped frowning, got much better, and went out.

After Arthur had left, Theodore suddenly sighed like an old man, took Sophie by the hand, and said, "Grandma, this son of yours is a lot to worry about."

Looking down at Theodore, Sophie smiled even more. She rubbed his head lovingly and said, "He's a real worry…"

Not knowing what happened after she left, Lucia gently lifted up her skirt and walked downstairs.

Downstairs, Eduard was sitting in his car, waiting for Lucia.

When he was about to make a second phone call, he saw a beautiful figure at the complex gate. He froze there completely forgetting to open the door for Lucia as a gentleman.

Finally, Lucia opened the door and got into the car by herself.

Tonight was a special night, so Eduard let the chauffeur drive the car, and he sat in the back seat.

Eduard was now staring blankly at Lucia as she bent and got in the car.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting." Heedless of Eduard's stares, Lucia got in the car, sat down and made an apology.
