She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 513

"I'm fine," said Lucia in a hoarse voice, after the nausea had passed. "You know I throw up easily."

"Well, we used to be there for you, and now..." Reynolds turned from worry to annoying, and stared at Spencer.

Spencer reacted and took Lucia back into his arms. He looked at her carefully, as if he was concerned for her,

"I told you not to eat so much pastry. Maybe you ate too much."

Lucia glanced at Spencer and didn't say anything.

There was a moment of awkwardness. Spencer's apparent concern and Reynolds's concern for Lucia's safety, as they tried to snatch her from the middle.

Monty saw Lucia's dilemma and took her by the hand, leading her to him in a clever way, and, ignoring Reynolds and Spencer, saying,

"Lucia, we haven't talked in a long time. Do you remember that tutor at school? He..."

Reynolds and Spencer were stunned as Monty took Lucia away.

But it also helped to ease the awkwardness, and Spencer took the opportunity to say to Reynolds, "Mr. Brown, since Lucia is off catching up with Monty, I'm going to go spend some time with the other guests. Help yourself."

Reynolds glanced at Spencer without saying a word, and Spencer, without waiting for an answer, walked away.

While Spencer was away, Reynolds wasn't busy looking for Lucia and Monty, but took a look around the venue.

No Arthur?

Arthur was still standing in the corridor, but his attention was finally directed in another direction. Because the corridor was silent, he occasionally heard a noise above the floor. He was just boring and then quietly, along the stairs, went up and wanted to see if there was someone in the upper floor.

The banquet hall of the Dekee Hotel was on the fifteenth floor, and the rooftop was one floor up.

Arthur walked all the way to the roof and found that the door to the roof was indeed open. There should be someone inside.

He leaned over quietly, and as soon as he stood against the door, he heard voices of conversation coming from inside.

"Jack, it's your turn to prepare meals for tomorrow."

"OK, I'll do it tomorrow."

Arthur was bored. He thought that the two tourists might go out to the roof in the middle of the night to enjoy the cool and chat. Just as he was about to turn around to leave, the next conversation between the two stopped him.

"Otis says she's still weak. You should prepare some stew tomorrow. I hear it's good for pregnant women."

"There should be some in the restaurant outside, but it might take a little more time. Victor, it's your turn to be on duty at the office tomorrow. Don't be lazy."

"You're the one who likes to slack off, aren't you? I caught you napping the day before yesterday!"

"Nonsense. I was very serious about protecting her, but... I took a break when Spencer was afraid to bother her at work."
