She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 474

When they got to the front desk, the receptionist looked at Reynolds and Monty suspiciously. What about Lennie's girlfriend?

Reynolds caught his eye and asked, "What's up?"

"No, mind your step." The receptionist didn't want to be nosy, so he shook his head politely and sent them off.

Not far away, Nia's resentful gaze followed Reynolds until he disappeared from the doorway.

"Miss, may I take your order?" Nia didn't regain her senses until an attendant's polite voice rang out.

"No, thank you." Nia shook her head and staggered to the door.

"If you don't have money, what are you doing here..." Just taking a few steps, Nia could hear the whisper of the attendant behind her back. Her body trembled, and she was overwhelmed by the humiliation of being underestimated. She lowered her head in shame and left the restaurant in a hurry.

Nia couldn't afford to have dinner in this restaurant, and because of it, she felt even more resentful.

She can't remember how she got home. She curled up on the couch, thinking about what Lucia had said, and what Reynolds had said. She felt like the whole world was lying to her.

What should she do in the future?

Looking down, she was crying and heartbroken.

In the recent past, Arthur had been busy with his work. He was already a workaholic and devoted all his time and energy to his work. He left home early and came back late. Juliana was worried, but..she had no way of consoling her friend.

Juliana heard about what happened that night from Kane, and was getting confused about what Lucia was doing. Did she really betray Arthur?

That day, all the men in the family went out to work, and Juliana was alone with the baby. Because of Lucia, she was worried about Arthur, so even though the new house had been renovated, she still hadn't moved out. The desire to live with Kane's son had been put on hold.

In the afternoon, the doorbell of the villa rang. Juliana was with her baby, so she asked Peter to open the door.

After a while, Peter led a pretty and well-dressed woman in.

"Miss Juliana, the lady said she's looking for Arthur," said Peter, leading the woman into the living room.

Juliana looked at her curiously and woman looked back at her with a smile.

"And you are?"

The woman reached out to Juliana, smiled, and said, "Hi, I'm Lola, Arthur's classmate from uni."

It turned out that the woman was Arthur's classmate Lola.

But that was not what Juliana cared about. She frowned and muttered unhappily, "Arthur?"

Lola, who was a criminal psychologist herself, knew from Juliana's reaction that she didn't like the way she called Arthur's name.

"I'm sorry to bother you, but Arthur's phone couldn't get through. I followed the address he gave me before. I happen to be on a vacation, so I came by to tell him the result of the investigation he asked me to do last time."

"What did he want you to find out?" Juliana asked immediately.

Lola smiled but didn't answer. "May I sit down?" She asked

Peter had just come over with two cups of hot milk tea. Lola smelled the tea and smiled. "Sorry, I don't drink milk tea. Can I have an iced coffee instead?"
