She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 60

The question made Arthur's eyes flash, and he turned his head without answering.

Sophie responded, "We'll figure it out!"

The news of Lucia and Arthur's relationship breakup soon made it into Atgate's gossip magazines, and the paparazzi who had previously given up chasing Arthur's gossip chased him crazily after he announced his romance, and, naturally, they didn't miss the sight of Lucia distancing herself from him.

The people of Athegate had not yet fully accepted Arthur's romance announcement, and then they heard the news of their relationship breakup, so one can imagine how the public opinion will be buzzing.

As the news of Lucia and Arthur's news continued to develop, Poppy saw the reports and her greatest joy was to see Lucia having a hard time. So, she went to Jacob to vent her gloating when she first got the news.

"Jacob, look, it doesn't even need us to do anything before Lucia starts to have a falling out with Arthur. If the breakup is confirm, then Lucia will have one less person to rely on."

When she said this, Poppy had an open and smug smile on her face.

In fact, long before Poppy got the news, Jacob had already read the reports. He was naturally gloating. But compared to Poppy's simple malice, he was more relaxed.

Lucia was single again, right?

"Jacob, why don't you say anything?" Noticing that Jacob had been thinking about something, Poppy stuck to him and asked.

Poppy leaned over and Jacob frowned, but only for a moment. After talking with Lucia, Jacob became more mindful of Poppy's presence than before. Smelling Poppy's strong perfume, Jacob remembered the day when he smelled the faint fragrance from Lucia as he approached her from behind.

"Jacob?" Seeing that Jacob remained silent, Poppy called out to him with some displeasure.

"Well, that's one less person for her to lean on." Jacob came back to his senses and responded indifferently.

"Why do I feel like you're not very happy?" Poppy was still very sensitive.

"You're overthinking it," Jacob continued, giving Poppy a sidelong glance, "I was just wondering if I could do something with this."

"Hmm? What kind of thing can you do?" Poppy heard this and became interested. She quickly stood up to ask Jacob.

"Guess what public opinion would say if Lucia comes out to meet me alone at a time like this?" Jacob said with a sudden smile.

"I'm sure they'll think she's got her ex-husband again, and there will be a lot of people cursing her then," Poppy replied without thinking before glaring and asking, "You're meeting her alone?!"

Realizing the meaning of Jacob's words, Poppy didn't like it and that was her limit.

Poppy had to admit that now Lucia was more attractive than before. When she was in college, she was the most sought-after woman. Now she was more mature and charming. Jacob resisted it and worked with Poppy to snatch everything Lucia had. What about now?

Poppy was unsure and afraid to try, so she was more jealous than anyone of Jacob's attitude toward Lucia.
