She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 462

"How did it get so big?" Arthur asked worriedly, not even wanting to eat the food.

"Lucia had just left for two days when Monty, the president of Luxwell Investment, came to us again and asked us to give him a clear answer. I told him that Lucia would be back in a few days and that she needed to handle this matter personally. I asked him to wait a little longer. Monty agreed at the time, but he didn't expect the leather factory to close down without any warning the next day. Monty told the city's economic magazine about this and asked us to compensate for all the losses. He didn't even give us a chance to do any PR solution."

"Does Lucia know it?" Arthur was worried about Lucia.

"Lucia came back the day after the accident. She went to look for Monty personally, but he didn't see her. I don't know if he was trying to avoid her or if he had other plans. The bankruptcy of the leather factory is too strange. Luxwell should have come to us to discuss compensation, but they spread the news directly. Many potential partners of the company immediately cut off contact with us, and the old clients also questioned the cooperation. In short, we are extremely busy right now."

"Not only Lucia these days", said Kane, tiredly, "but I also work until midnight."

"Is it significant?" Arthur continued.

"It's huge. There's already speculation in magazines that we're trying to profit from a bad deal. Lucia held a press conference to explain it, but without a settlement from Luxwell, it's all for naught," Kane said with a sigh.

"Lucia... how is she now?" Arthur frowned. He really wanted to run to her and tell her that he was still around, but he was no longer qualified to do so.

"Lucia is at the company right now. She hasn't eating much these days. The Group is her father's hard work. If it is to be ruined by her... Lucia would be guilty to death." Kane sighed deeply.

"Doesn't Spencer do anything?" Arthur wondered what Spencer had done about it.

"I don't know. He hasn't been to the company, and Lucia won't mention him to me," Kane replied.

As Arthur and Kane talked, everyone else in the room was silent, and the atmosphere was grim.

They all knew that Lucia was in unprecedented trouble. Now that Webbex Group's reputation had plummeted, and the most important thing in the investment industry was its reputation. The Webbex Group could really go into a tailspin. Everything Lucia had been trying to do could be in vain.

"Daphne's with her, isn't she?" Arthur asked Eduard. Among his friends, only Daphne was absent.

"Daphne is worried about Lucia. She's there for Lucia as long as she's there. She's not going to be much help, but she'll take care of her," Eduard said.

"Eduard, will you tell Daphne that I'll be with Lucia at the office in a moment?" Arthur said to Eduard after a moment's thought.

"You're going to see Lucia?" Eduard asked, raising an eyebrow.

"I want to go and see how she is..." Arthur could not let go of a woman named Lucia.

A couple of friends looked at each other. They can't decide whether Arthur was doing the right thing, because he was not Lucia's boyfriend anymore.

"Don't worry about it," Arthur said, sensing his friends' concern. "I want to hear Lucia's side of the story. Spencer won't help, I will."

"Fine!" Eduard was the first to agree. "Whatever. Just help Lucia through it!"

"Well, let's go now. We can't eat, Arthur, can we?" Kane responded.

"Yes, let's go now." Arthur stood up immediately. Seeing that Juliana was also anxious to go with them, he asked her to stay at home. After all, she still had a baby to take care of.
