She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 498

As he made his way to the couch, Eduard worried that a loud noise might hurt Arthur. He sat down on the couch and looked at Arthur with worry in his eyes.

No matter how many conciliative words they had, it was all useless.

Eduard had always been confident of his eloquence, but he could not offer Arthur a single word of comfort.

Just as everyone else was choosing to guard Arthur with companionship, Lola, who knew nothing, walked into the living room. Upstairs, she heard a voice telling her that Arthur was back, but she was puzzled by the reaction of the others, so she decided to observe in secret. But everyone just stared at Arthur silently, and she finally can hardly retain her composure.

"Arthur, what's going on?" Lola asked Arthur, squatting down in front of Arthur despite being stared at by Juliana.

"Arthur isn't feeling well right now. Can you go back to your room?!" Juliana was furious. She had been hinting at Lola to stay out of it, but the woman had ignored her warning.

"How can I leave Arthur like this!" Lola turned around and talked back angrily. "You can care about him! Can't I?!"

Juliana was at a loss for words.

Seeing that Juliana was silent, Lola looked back, put her hand gently on the back of Arthur's hand, and asked him in a soft voice,

"Arthur, if there's anything you want to tell me, I'll listen..."

Lola's concerned movements and her soft voice tried to convince Arthur to let him guard down, the way she always did when interrogating a suspect. Even the most stubborn people would be touched, but Arthur wouldn't budge. It was as if he hadn't heard her voice.

Lola didn't give up and wanted to speak again, but then Juliana said, "Can't you see that Arthur won't talk to you?"

Juliana found Lola's hand on the back of Arthur's hand, which was an eyesore for her!

Lola bit her lip and was so mad. Can't Juliana be quiet?!

"The only reason I know Arthur is like this is because of that person," Lola said coldly, not naming Lucia directly because she knew the name would contradict Arthur.

"All of you here are connected to that person. Being around Arthur at this moment will only increase his pressure. I'm the only outsider. I want to help him. Do you know that?!"

Lola had a point. Juliana couldn't refute it for a moment, and Otis spoke up,

"If you can find a way to talk some sense into Arthur, I'm counting on you."

After all, she was a psychological counselor, and to Arthur, Otis believed that she had a way to ease Arthur's feeling a little.

"Otis!" Juliana was not pleased.

"Alright, let's back off first." Otis stood up and gave the others a look. His majesty was undeniable. Even Eduard also stood up, which meant that he had acquiesced. Juliana could only reluctantly stand up when she saw the situation. Helena pulled her away to another room.

As soon as she walked into the side hall, Juliana didn't forget to turn around to check on Arthur's condition. She complained, "Otis, you knew that Lola had feelings for Arthur, yet you let them be alone together. Isn't this giving Lola a chance?"
