She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 485

"Don't think about it," Otis made up his mind and said. "I saw you and Lola acting so close. I thought you'd move on"

"No way," Arthur said with a self-deprecating laugh. "I know I'm flirting with Lola, but it's justI got in a rage. I met Lucia at a party the other night, and she told me to start a new relationship..."

Did Lucia say that?

Otis raised his eyebrows slightly and thought about Lucia's state of mind at that time. It was probably just a jealous remark, but his brother took it seriously.

"If you don't want to, don't get close to her so you don't end up in a dilemma," Otis told his brother.

"I know," said Arthur, with his head slightly lowered and his eyes wandering to the sunlit cityscape outside the window.

"She should be leaving soon."

Stupid brother! Otis cursed in the bottom of his heart. That woman came here for you. If you did not state your attitude, how could she leave!?

But on the surface, Otis only said, "Then be appropriate."

Arthur replied, looking out the window at the rosy sky, and thinking what was Lucia doing now?

Under the same sunset, Lucia was outside her office. However, she was not focused on her work as usual. Instead, she turned her chair to look out of the French window while looking at the red clouds outside, while gently stroking her own belly.

To be pregnant with Arthur's child again was a blessing for Lucia, especially in the quiet of the evening. It was a blessing that permeated every of her being. Even between her eyes, there was overflowing with tenderness.

Just as Lucia was enjoying the silence, footstep sound came from behind her. Lucia frowned. He was probably the only person who dared to enter her office without informing her!

She withdrew her hand from her stomach and had just moved her chair halfway back when her back was held by a pair of hands. When Lucia looked up, she saw Spencer's smiling face.

Lucia's frown deepened.

"Why didn't you tell me you have come back?" Spencer asked, looking down gently into Lucia's face.

"No need," replied Lucia coldly.

Spencer curled his lips and stared at Lucia quietly, as if he was trying to figure something out. Lucia's displeasure deepened when he stared at her. She forced her foot and turned the chair around to avoid Spencer's gaze.

Spencer was still standing by her desk. At this moment, Lucia's desk was immaculately clean. It was obvious that she hadn't worked since she came back in the afternoon. What was it that made her so engrossed in her thoughts?

"Lucia," Spencer whispered as he reached out and lifted a strand of Lucia's hair. "You didn't meet anyone in New York, did you?"

"Don't you know if Arthur followed me?" Lucia said sarcastically without thinking too much. When she noticed Spencer's movements, she turned sideways without hesitation to let her hair escape his palm.

Spencer chuckled and said, "I didn't say it was him."
