She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 57

For a while, Lucia just looked at Arthur, not saying anything and not answering.

Arthur couldn't understand Lucia's strange behavior and indifferent attitude. She obviously had no intention of talking yet, so he took a deep breath and decided to ask some questions that he was eager to know first, "You know when I went back to USA, right?"

"I know." It was a while before Lucia finally spoke up and answered.

"You know it but why didn't you contact me?" asked Arthur.

Lucia was silent again.

Arthur asked again, "Have you and Theodore been safe all this time?"

"Hmm." Lucia replied with a nod.

"Where's he?" Arthur asked again.

"Asleep. Keep your voice down." Mentioning Theodore, Lucia seemed to speak more, and Arthur seized the opportunity to ask again.

"Why haven't you been in touch with me?"

This time, Lucia chose to be silent again. Smart as Arthur soon found out. Lucia was not unwilling to talk to him, but just kept avoiding talking about the lost connection.

"Don't you have something to say to me? Say it."

"Arthur, let's break up." There was no light in her eyes. Lucia just staggeringly broke Arthur's heart without warning.

"What did you say?" Arthur heard the words, but he didn't believe them.

Lucia lowered her eyes. Her lips quirked a few times. She wanted to speak before repeating again, "I said, let's break up."

After Lucia finished her words, she was pulled into his arms the next second. He stared at her and said in a cold voice, "What did you just say?! Say it again!"

Lucia looked away. She was a little afraid to look at Arthur's eyes at that moment, but the next moment her jaw was pinched.

Arthur used brute force to make Lucia turn back to meet his eyes again, insisting that she should say the words again. Because even there were uncertainties and impossibilities, Arthur never thought Lucia would say that to him!

They had just established their relationship not long ago. They were intensely affectionate and getting more and more intimate. Did all those feelings dissipate just because of the separation of just ten days or so!?

Arthur himself did not believe it!
