She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 438

Lucia's performance at the celebration was even more puzzling. Although she rejected the mysterious man's advance during the day, she did not interact much with Spencer. At most, she stood by his side. Spencer, who seemed to be aware of the mood, pulled Lucia into a corner in the middle of the party.

"Lucia, I can leave you alone in private, but we're in front of outsiders. Can you watch your behavior? If you stay by my side like a bystander, what will others think of us?"

Lucia glanced at Spencer with an expression as if it was none of her business.

"Lucia..." Spencer felt his blood pressure rise. He had gotten engaged to her without a hitch, but when he realized he wasn't getting any of the things he was supposed to get, Spencer felt unfair and upset.

Lucia looked away, ignoring Spencer's threats. Just as Spencer was about to continue complaining, Helena suddenly appeared behind them.

"Lucia," Helena shouted. Lucia and Spencer turned around at the same time. Spencer, who was about to question who dared to disturb them, immediately had a smile when he saw that it was Helena.

"Helena, you're back?"

Helena glanced at Spencer's flattering smile and nodded, concealing her disgust before saying, "I'd like to talk to Lucia alone. Mr. Davies, is it okay if I do this?"

"Of course," said Spencer with a smile, "Helena, you are Lucia's sister, which means you're my sister."

Lucia and Helena frowned at this.

"By the way," Spencer asked Helena as she was about to leave, "Was the man at the engagement party today someone you know?"

Spencer had already guessed that the mystery man was Reynolds of the Browns family, and now he was asking for a definitive answer, because he couldn't ask Esmae.

"No comment." Helena was a hundred times more noble than Spencer, so even if she answered so bluntly, it wouldn't seem like she was being rude.

Spencer's lips twitched, and his smile soon returned. He nodded to Helena and left to mingle. As soon as he left, Helena scowled in disgust,

"Spencer's a pain in the ass. Lucia, why do you like him?"

Lucia smiled but said nothing. "I have my eye on his bone marrow," murmured Lucia.

Seeing that Lucia didn't want to talk about her relationship with Spencer, Helena didn't want to push her. She wanted to talk to her about someone else,

"Lucia, I'm sorry about Reynolds. He was really impulsive today..."

Lucia shook her head and said softly, "Don't apologize. I appreciate Reynolds thinking of me, but I can't say anything back. Did you calm him down?"
