She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 528

"What is it?" Arthur asked as he sat down for an important video conference.

Looking at Arthur's incredibly handsome face, Lola's eyes were not hiding infatuation. After a moment's hesitation, she asked him,

"Arthur... What kind of relationship is this?"

"Friend," Arthur replied without hesitation, and the warmth in Lola's eyes faded.

"Just... friend?"

"Of course, we've always been friends, haven't we?" Arthur's tone seemed distant.

"But haven't you been very close to me lately? I thought... you were willing to accept me..." it seemed a little humble for a woman to say such things, but Lola could no longer care so much.

"Is it?" Arthur said lightly, with his eyes still looking ahead, not looking at Lola.

Lola grew impatient. She took Arthur's arm and expressed her feelings,

"Arthur, my vacation is almost over. Just say it, and I'll quit my job at FBI and stay in the country with you."

"Work is important. You'd better go back as soon as possible." Arthur finally turned his head, but there was no look in his eyes that Lola was expecting.

"Arthur, what do you mean by that?" said Lola, coming to her senses and seeing the coldness in Arthur's eyes,

"Have you been getting close to me lately, just for show?"

"Yes," Arthur said, almost at the end of Lola's words.

Lola's mind suddenly went blank. Her hand that was holding Arthur's hand also slowed down.

"I was just trying to distract Spencer so that he would think I was in a new relationship and wouldn't use Lucia to provoke me again." Arthur didn't wait for Lola to ask, but he made his intentions clear.

Lola's eyes widened in an instant. Although she suspected that Arthur was trying to use her, she didn't expect him to not even try to hide it.

"Why..." Lola was silent for a long time before she said so.

"I've been to Iowa, and I've seen the man who donated Teddy's bone marrow. Guess what he told me?" Arthur asked, staring at Lola.

Lola faltered, and immediately realized that Arthur knew he was being deceived.

"Arthur, I'm not..."

"You're not what?" Arthur asked in a low voice, with a chuckle, before Lola could explain further,

"The FBI's personal psychologist has dealt with countless criminals before. Even the most cunning suspects can be observed and accurately judged. Would you misjudge an ordinary person like that?"

Lola could no longer defend herself. She lowered her eyes and tried to rationalise her selfishness,

"I lied to you. I knew the man was lying when I met him. But, Arthur, what if I told you the truth? Lucia chose Spencer. It's a fact. She's even pregnant with his child now. I just want to make it easier for you to give up."

"I never wanted to give up..." Arthur chuckled again, telling Lola something she didn't understand,

"I have an instinctive attachment to Lucia. She is my first and only woman. She is gentle, kind, and strong. She has all the qualities that men like. My feelings are crazy, but they are also rational. No matter how you look at it, she is the most perfect woman in my heart. No one can replace her."
