She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 431

When Eduard spoke, Arthur realized that there was someone else in the office. Kane went to the door and turned on the light. The room lit up, and the light hurt Arthur's eyes. He immediately raised his hand to rub his eyes, wipe away any moisture his fingertips touched.

"Have you been here all this time?" Arthur asked, sitting up straight.

"Well, we came to keep you company," Kane said to Arthur, standing by the sofa.

Arthur gave a wry laugh and laughed at himself. "What do you want me to do? I have nothing to do with it."

"Arthur..." knowing that he was struggling, Eduard was upset, but he couldn't say it very clearly. He picked up the wine on the table and held it up to Arthur,

"How about a drink?"

Drink?

Arthur was not in the habit of drowning his sorrows, but Eduard's suggestion was timely.

Arthur went from his desk to the sofa and opened all the bottles. Eduard was about to ask where the glasses were when Arthur picked up a bottle of wine and began to pour it into his mouth.

Eduard and Kane were stunned.

Still nothing? !

"Arthur, slow down. You'll get drunk," Eduard said worriedly.

"Just to get drunk," Arthur said casually. "Why else would you bring wine?"

Eduard and Kane looked at each other awkwardly, not knowing what to say to Arthur.

With half of a bottle of red wine, Arthur could only taste the bitterness, even though the wine itself was smooth and luscious. He swallowed it, put the bottle down, and asked,

"Are you going tomorrow?"

"Where are we going?" Eduard's attention was still on the half-empty bottle. He couldn't react for a moment and asked. The next second, Kane nudged him with his elbow. Eduard glared at him and saw that his eyes looked worried, only then did he realize that he had said something wrong.

But it was too late.

Arthur smiled wryly. "Where else? Her engagement party."

Even the word "Lucia" would come with a heavy burden. Arthur no longer dared to pronounce that name but only used the word "her" instead.

Eduard wanted to slap himself, but he had to say, "No, of course not!"

"You're not going either?" Arthur asked Kane again.

"No," Kane said, shaking his head.

"One of you should go," Arthur murmured, staring at the bottle. "At least... let me know what the engagement party is like."

That was when Eduard and Kane realized that even though Arthur was in pain, he was still thinking about Lucia. Even for her engagement party, he wanted to know what was going on.
