She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 451

Lucia was a good judge of character. As soon as she sat down at the bar, she took a look around and knew that Spencer had planned the campfire party. Even the bartender at the bar was following his lead. Lucia thought to herself, what the hell was he doing, trying to please her?

Doubting, Lucia raised all her guard and stared at Spencer's every move.

Looking into Lucia's twinkling starry eyes in the flickering flames, Spencer's mind swayed for a moment. Her gaze was giving him a sense of being watched.

"Lucia, do you know that everyone is peeking at you when you arrive? You're so beautiful." Spencer praised her sincerely. Under the moonlight, Lucia looked like a goddess.

Lucia smiled, but it was a polite response.

"It's rare that you look back at me," Spencer said with a self-deprecating smile, seeing Lucia staring at him.

Lucia's eyes darkened. "Is this your campfire party?" She asked.

"Well," Spencer didn't deny it. "It's day four here, and you keep saying no, but I don't want to give up the chance to surprise you."

"It's not a surprise," said Lucia, glancing at the revelers, whose moods had nothing to do with her, nor did they affect her.

"I was afraid you'd be more resistant if it is just the two of us," Spencer said bluntly. "They're too lively, but they add to the atmosphere, don't they?".

"Noisy," said Lucia coolly.

Spencer smiled again and motioned for the bartender to make Lucia a drink. "Lucia, can you have some wine?" He asked

"No," Lucia refused flatly. The only time she could drink was with someone she trusted, not Spencer.

"Juice then," said Spencer, who ordered the bartender to make Lucia a glass of crystal clear lemon juice and hand it to her.

Lucia looked at the glass of juice and didn't reach out.

"What? Not even lemonade?" Spencer asked with a smile.

"Just leave it there. I'll drink it later." Lucia averted her gaze slightly and looked at the beach. She was secretly wondering if there was anything wrong with this drink. She had already been in trouble twice because she had accidentally drunk something. Spencer handed her the drink, which made her feel uneasy.

"Okay." Spencer continued to follow Lucia and put the lemonade on the table beside her. Then, they looked at the sea together, as if they had the same longing in their hearts.

The party culminated in a burst of upbeat music. Soon after, Spencer got up and asked Lucia to dance with him. Lucia refused, but Spencer didn't insist. He just gave a wry smile and got up to join the crowd, and danced closely to a beautiful woman.

Lucia's the only one left at the bar.
