She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 550

Esmae glanced at the receptionist, and just as she was about to speak, Reynolds' voice came from behind her, "Mom?"

Esmae looked back at Reynolds and smiled.

Showing her to the office, Reynolds didn't ask much, as if he already knew why she was there.

"The company's doing well, Reynolds. I think I'm going to have to think about putting you back in the family business with Shawn," Esmae told Reynolds, half-jokingly, as soon as she sat down.

"Mom..." Reynolds was upset. She knew he was doing it for Lucia.

"Now, to business," Esmae said to Reynolds with a quick change of tone, "Come back with me."

"No," Reynolds answered even faster.

"Reynolds, be good!" Even facing his thirty-two-year-old son, Esmae said in a mother's voice, "If your persistence pays off, I won't try to persuade you, but Lucia won't change her mind, so why bother?"

"Mom, do you think I'd still be here if I could let go?" Reynolds was more helpless than anyone else. He knew it was impossible, but he couldn't forget Lucia. What could he do?

Looking at the pain in Reynolds' eyes, Esmae sighed, "Wouldn't it be more painful if you stay? Stay away from her. Maybe you'll forget."

"Lucia can't help herself now. I'm not going to leave her, and whether or not I can help her here, I'm not going anywhere." Reynolds' obstinacy may be stronger than Esmae's.

"So you'd rather she's with Arthur?" Esmae asked Reynolds.

"At least Arthur is the one she loves, and she's happy. Even if I don't like it, but with Spencer," Reynolds said with a stern look in his eyes, "I absolutely don't agree! No matter what I do, I'm not gonna make it easy on Spencer!"

Esmae sighed in her heart. She had thought Reynolds's persistence was unreasonable, but it turned out that her son was more open-minded and generous than she had expected.

"I can't take you or Lucia with me," sighed Esmae.

"You've seen Lucia? How is she?" Reynolds hustled.

"If you care, why don't you go see her yourself?" Esmae asked.

"I'm afraid I'm going to have to kidnap her," Reynolds said, frowning. "Spencer did this to her. I'm not going to let him off the hook! Mom, you need to stop meddling."

"Of course. I was also angry with Spencer. Now I've stopped working with his father."

When Reynolds heard this, he understood what Esmae was trying to do. "Mom," he asked, "Do you see what Spencer is like?"

"I know very well who he is. I agreed to let him get engaged with Lucia because I saw his true feelings for Lucia and thought he would treat her well. I didn't expect it to turn out like this. It was my fault." Esmae admitted her mistake to her son.

"Mom, why don't you tell Spencer to break off the engagement? I'm sure he won't dare go against you," Reynolds immediately suggested.
