She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 426

Lucia raised an eyebrow, didn't say anything, and asked Monty, "So what do you want from me?"

"We can put that aside," Monty said as he sat up straight. "Now that we're talking about Cloudwork, I'm curious why you like someone like Spencer."

"Someone like Spencer?" Lucia said with a smile and there was a twinkle in her eye. "What kind of person is Spencer? Do you know him well?"

"Lucia..." Monty shouted in distress. "Can you stop testing me? I admit that I'm very concerned about your private life. I'm the one who found out about all this, okay?"

"So everyone knows that I'm engaged to him," Lucia said with a smile.

"I know more than that," Monty said, frowning. "A week ago, Spencer returned to the country and sent out invitations to all the high-class people in the city for an engagement party. We Luxwell Investment is quite successful, so I got that invitation too. After that, Spencer bought a magazine to spread the word about it. Arthur couldn't suppress it..."

Lucia snorted inwardly. She had long guessed that Spencer would never keep a low profile. She didn't expect him to make such a big deal out of it. No wonder everyone looked at her in a weird way when she came back today. It was because he had disappeared it for so long.

Arthur...

Hearing that Arthur was trying to suppress the news, Lucia's feelings were complicated beyond comprehension.

"Lucia, even a fool knows that Arthur is a million times better than Spencer. Why are you engaged to him?" Monty asked worriedly.

Lucia endured the bitterness in her heart and looked up at Monty. "Didn't you already knew about it?" She asked. "Why are you asking me?"

"I can't believe the rumors from the outside, Lucia. I want to hear it from you."

"We don't know each other that well," Lucia said with a chill in her eyes. "Mr. Gallagher."

Lucia's address for him deflated Monty, who leaned against the back and looked at her in an aggrieved manner,

"Lucia, we are schoolmates after all. Is it really okay to be so out of touch?"

"It's because you're an alumnus that I've been giving you this crap for so long," said Lucia, who was already displeased that Monty kept prying into her private affairs,

"Anything else? If not, please go back."

"Wait!" Not annoyed by Lucia's stern words, Monty seemed to know he had crossed the line, and straightened himself up again,

"Let's talk business."

"Say it."

"Lucia, you've made a mistake in your assessment of the tannery. Now, we've lent out more than $10 million for no reason. If there's a problem with the tannery, we won't even be able to recover the principal and can't repay the debt. What should we do about this?" Monty's face was still wearing a standard smile, but the smile didn't mean he was happy.

As Monty spoke, Lucia was running through the case in her head, and as soon as she finished, Lucia responded,

"Are you sure it was a mistake?"
