She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 467

For Monty, Lucia didn't need to be too polite to him. She asked directly, "Where is the man you were talking to?"

Monty's eyes dimmed, and his face instantly changed into a look of grievance as he looked at Lucia and said half-jokingly,

"Lucia, aren't you looking for me? Why do you care about my friend?"

A friend of Monty's? Lucia muttered to herself, "I'm just curious as to why someone would hide as soon as he heard a noise. I'm not that scary, am I?"

"Of course, you're not scary," Monty said with a smile. "It's just that this is my office. Naturally, people come to see me for business, so my friend immediately avoided it. That's just being polite."

"Really?" Lucia said.

To distract Lucia, Monty sat her down and asked, "Why did you come to see me today?"

Lucia examined Monty's expression. He looked calm and relaxed as if there was no displeasure between the two companies. After all, he had reported Webbex Group's erroneous evaluation directly to financial magazines. Now that Webbex Group had lost a lot of money, but he was doing just fine.

"Do I have to?" Lucia sneered and whispered.

"Of course," said Monty, playing dumb. "I don't know why you're in such a hurry to find me."

Seeing that Monty had made it clear that he wanted to pass the buck, Lucia simply asked, "Why didn't you tell me about the tannery but tell it directly to media?"

"Oh, you mean that thing..." Monty made an exaggerated look of realization, and said, "I didn't do it on purpose. Lucia, you really didn't give me a response. I've been looking for you for a month, and I was forced to do this."

Monty was right. He started looking for Lucia right around the time Theodore got sick, and the last time she and Spencer went to Miami. However, if Lucia hadn't heard Arthur's analysis, she might have believed him, but after hearing it, these timings only made her more suspicious.

"I said I would give you an answer, but you have to pick the times when I can't deal with it." Lucia asked tentatively.

"Sorry, Lucia," Monty suddenly sat up straight, and said seriously, "As a junior, I respect you very much. But respect is just respect, and business is business. Luxwell's interests have been harmed. As the chairman of the board, I can't possibly suppress the protests of the shareholders for the sake of my personal relationship, can I?"

"I'm not having a relationship with you", Lucia said to herself. "If Webbex really makes a mistake, we will compensate you according to the contract, but isn't it too radical to tell this to media?"

"That's how I do things," Monty replied, and his usual smile returned.

"I see," said Lucia. "I need a week to investigate this matter. If there is no result a week later, I will hold a press conference to apologize to you and compensate for the damage."

"What else is there to investigate?" Monty asked with a smile.

"Don't worry about it. I just tell me if you'll give me the time," Lucia said coolly.
