She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 40

"Lucia, come to me," Arthur called to Lucia, who was dazed.

Lucia, still absorbed in her thoughts, was shocked by Arthur's words. She blushed and stood up to walk to him.

Arthur naturally put his hand around Lucia's waist and let her lean against him. After noticing that Lucia's hand was a little cold, he picked up the remote control and turned up the heat. He did it so quickly and directly that Lucia couldn't help but laugh. "My body temperature is naturally low. I am not cold actually."

"No. I can make sure you warm up until your hands get warm." Arthur persisted, even though he felt a slight dry heat as the temperature rose.

Lucia was not going to argue with Arthur. She found that the papers on Arthur's desk had been taken care of, so she chatted with him and looked at the decorations on the desk.

There was one of Arthur's graduation photos, one of his family photos, and one photo of him with a beautiful girl.

Lucia did not pay special attention to it, but Arthur was holding the girl's shoulder in the photo, and the girl leaned her head against his shoulder. They smiled brightly and naturally and were very intimate. On the contrary, he looked more serious in the family photo, which showed that he and that girl must have a special relationship.

Arthur immediately knew which one she was looking at by following her gaze. He smiled after he saw the weird look in Lucia's eyes.

Arthur then spoke, "She is my father's best friend's daughter. Elegant as she seems, she's actually a tomboy. "

Lucia took a look at the girl in the photo and thought that she must be a cheerful girl with such a bright smile. Then she asked curiously.

"Is her name elegant?"

"Yes, my aunt named her Juliana, Juliana Knight," Arthur replied with a smile.

"Juliana… It's a very classical name."

"Yeah, but she doesn't live up to her name. Her mother advocated American education and sent her to our house at a young age. She is closer to my parents than to her own and now works abroad," Arthur said.

Lucia nodded and looked down at Arthur for a moment. The childhood friends were the ones that were most likely to develop a secret love for each other. Didn't something happen between Arthur and her?

Lucia summoned up the courage to ask directly.

"She and I?" When Arthur heard Lucia's question, he raised his eyebrows in surprise and then laughed out loud, as if he had heard some absurd remarks.

"What are you laughing at?" Lucia was already embarrassed, but was even more embarrassed by his laugh.

Arthur, without his usual calmness, began to explain.

"She is more like a brother than a sister. What do you think is gonna happen to me and my brother?"

Lucia blushed when she heard this… It did seem like she was overthinking it.

But now that she was with Arthur, she couldn't help noticing…
