She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 440

"Don't worry," Arthur said in a low voice. "I'm not going to feel bad because Lucia left. That would only make Spencer feel better."

Despite Arthur's inspiring words, the people around him were not really reassured.

He wanted to see Arthur pull himself together, but when he said that, people who cared about him felt sorry for him.

"Arthur, have some tea." Daphne saw Eduard and Kane were anxious and didn't know what to say, so she spoke to ease the tension.

Arthur looked up, and suddenly looked at Daphne very seriously.

Daphne looked back at Arthur, feeling confused.

"Daphne," Arthur said a few seconds later, "The only one who can get close to Lucia now is you. It's hard for me to say this, but I hope you can hang in there and be there for her."

"I know." It turned out that Arthur wanted to say this to her. Daphne's eyes lit up, "I will always be there for Lucia," she replied. "No matter how misunderstood she may be, my attitude toward her will never change."

Arthur couldn't help but laugh bitterly when he heard Daphne's firm words. "I'm really no match for you. I've shaken Lucia's decision countless times, always wondering if she's really going to leave me..."

"Arthur, don't say that!" said Daphne,

"You and I have different views. No matter what Lucia has done, the person who has been hurt by her the most is not me, but you. You have the right to doubt her and the right to hate her. I can't use my gratitude and respect for Lucia to demand the same from you."

"Daphne, you're very sensible," Kane said when he heard Daphne's words.

"Very sensible indeed," Arthur said. "Then in the future, please, if you can, occasionally tell me about her daily routine... I hope she can be happy."

"I know, Arthur. Don't worry." At this moment, Daphne really felt bad for Arthur. How much did he have to love someone to still think about her when he was hurt by her?

Daphne prayed from the bottom of her heart that Lucia really had something to hide, or she would be too sorry for Arthur, who was so devoted to her.

"I'll go out on my own for a while. I'll let you know when I'll be back," Arthur said calmly after drinking the honey tea.

"Are you alone?" Kane was concerned, but Eduard had a different opinion.

"It's all right to go out," he said. "We'll wait for you. Don't worry about Lucia. We'll take care of her."

Arthur smiled gratefully at Eduard and swallowed the bitterness in his heart. Lucia and Spencer were truly engaged. He wasn't fit to stay at Athegate these days, and he really needed to go for a walk.

Although Arthur seemed to be fine, Eduard and the others felt that there was a sense of depression in him. In the end, they didn't know what to say to motivate him. After all, there were some wounds that only he could feel. Finally, Kane sent Arthur back, and the next day, Arthur left Athegate.

What Lucia didn't know that night was that when she and Spencer's car returned to the so-called "home" , the car that Jan was driving had crossed the road. Even through different windows, her and Arthur's eyes had met, but they didn't know it.
