She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 517

An hour later, Arthur called an ambulance for the man and disappeared into the dark with his men under the bar's bright lights.

"Mr. Davies, where are we going next?" The leader asked Arthur in the backseat as the car drove down the city road.

"You send two more teams back with me," Arthur said so and his face was obscured in the darkness. His expression was not clear, but his voice was cold.

"Shall we go home at once too?" asked the leader.

"Yes, now go to the airport and take the fastest flight home. If the others go home first, have them report to Kyle," Arthur replied.

"Yes, to the airport at once!" The leader said to the driver, and the car fell silent.

Arthur leaned back in the backseat, staring out the window at the scenery, then slowly closing his eyes.

Arthur, who had disappeared for two days, returned to Athegate at noon on the third day, and returned to Fragranerde Hall. As soon as he entered the house, Lola heard a noise and ran downstairs. She saw Arthur and rushed over excitedly,

"Arthur, where have you been?! I've been worried about you."

Juliana also came out and stood on the stairs, looking at them.

"Went to Iowa," Arthur said bluntly.

The color on Lola's face faded as soon as she heard that. She could not say a single word. Arthur glanced at her and sat down on the sofa. He had not slept for dozens of hours, and the constant reversal of jet lag tired him.

Isolated in the hallway, Lola bit her lip, hesitated, then turned to Arthur and asked,

"Arthur, what... are you doing there?"

"Nothing," Arthur replied lazily, stretching. "I have some business to attend to."

"Is that so?" The voice was a little guilty. Lola walked to the edge of the sofa looking at Arthur's expression, and could observe but did not find anything strange.

He didn't go to the man, but just went to take care of business?

Lola was not so sure.

Arthur looked at Lola and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, I'm just worried about you," Lola said, quickly hiding her emotions and smiling gently.

"What do you have to worry about?" Arthur smiled, then turned to the stairs and said to Juliana, "Julia, come on down. Isn't it time for dinner? I'm hungry."

"Oh, okay," said Juliana as she carried darling down the stairs. Even she felt that Arthur was acting strange. She couldn't tell what he was feeling, but she felt that the pain on his body had disappeared, and the whole person seemed very relaxed.

Juliana had just come downstairs when the phone in Arthur's pocket rang. He took out his phone, looked at the caller ID, and answered it,

"What's wrong?"

Kyle's voice came over the phone receiver,

"Mr. Davies, I've already arranged for the people you brought back, but the project team has just received news that there's a problem. You've just returned. Should we settle it now or rest for the night and talk about it tomorrow?"

"How bad is it?" Arthur asked.
