She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 479

"So... I am so selfish..."

Lucia muttered to herself with a self-deprecating and wry laughter.

Lucia didn't realize that she was standing very close to the balcony in the corner. In fact, if she took a few more steps to the left, she would see Arthur. They were only a few steps away from each other.

But Arthur found Lucia, and he saw her from the moment she came this way.

Standing at the edge of the balcony, Arthur quietly watched Lucia's profile.

Lucia had always been beautiful and picturesque, and when she stood there, even the air around her seemed quiet and tranquil, giving him the illusion that time had passed in peace.

Without a word, time seemed to stop.

Arthur wished he could just look at her without worry, but he laughed at himself, and the meaning in his laugh was so similar to Lucia's.

There was no peace.

Just as the miserable feeling in Arthur's heart was spreading, Lucia looked toward the balcony as if she felt something. From her perspective, she could not see Arthur, but she still moved a few steps toward the balcony as if she had been affected by something. Catching off guard, she caught Arthur's eye.

No wonder she kept feeling like someone was watching her. It turned out he was here.

For a moment Lucia's eyes softened, but then she remembered her situation.

Having seen him, Lucia did not pretend to be blind, nor did she run away. Instead, she opened her mouth and said to Arthur, "There you are."

Even with that cold tone, Lucia, now at a special stage in her life, longed to be in touch with Arthur, if only to hear his voice.

Arthur raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect Lucia to speak to him first. Didn't she hate him?

Despite his doubt, Arthur immediately responded, "Well, here I am. Where's Spencer?"

Lucia pursed her lips and said softly, "Socializing. I'm in a bad mood, so I'm alone."

Knowing that their identities were no longer suitable for conversation, Lucia couldn't help saying so.

"What happened?" Arthur would not hesitate to ask Lucia what she was feeling.

Staring into Lucia's pretty face, Arthur dared not miss a single reaction.

"Nothing, just a bad mood." Lucia's eyes moved and she said it lightly.

"Is it the heat that's been bothering you lately?" Arthur's concern was palpable.

Lucia's heart was aching and her eyes were dry, so she looked down at the floor and said, "Maybe it's the heat, but it's not that bad. How are you?"

When Lucia said this, there was a hint of whining. Arthur had the illusion that there was no unpleasantness between them and that they could still talk as before, and care for each other.

"Well, not bad," Arthur replied gently, looking at Lucia's slightly fluttering eyelashes.
