She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 66

This was not the first time Lucia had heard these questions, and she just smiled lightly without a word.

Lucia's silence made Eduard sigh. He went on, "Why not tell me? Don't you take me as your friend?"

Lucia shook her head and said, "No, it's just that there are some things that only I can carry. You've helped me a lot. I can't bother you anymore."

Lucia knew that Eduard had withstood a lot of pressure from the headquarters for her, and she also knew that Eduard had also helped her to suppress the media and public opinion. She had nothing to repay, so she cannot receive any more favors.

"I am ..." Eduard almost said what he really thought. He wanted to say he was willing. But thinking of his lack of position, he retracted his words stiffly and turned to say, "Your friend. It is right for friends to help each other. Maybe one day I will need your help too?"

Lucia smiled and said to Eduard, "Then I will definitely help you."

Lucia's words made Eduard laugh, so he stopped talking about Arthur and Jacob but ordered the company's housekeeping to restore Lucia's office to its original state. When everything was done, Lucia was able to return to her own office, but no longer interested in working.

Lucia was tired, really tired. One thing after another happened to her, one after another, and she barely had room to breathe.

At this time, Lucia unusually thought of Arthur. She was sure that if Arthur understood her diverticulitis, he will come forward to carry all for her. But Lucia can not say anything, so only a thousand pounds of burden was taken on her own shoulders.

That afternoon, Lucia fell asleep on her desk for the first time during office hours. Nia found that and covered her with a coat. Then she found that Lucia was still frowning when she fell asleep, so Nia could only sigh helplessly.

Poppy fled from Jibillion Inc to JTP Group in a mess. She had taken the liberty to act this time, so she didn't go to Jacob to complain first as usual. However, she didn't go to Jacob, but Jacob came to her himself.

Jacob had instructed Samuel to observe Poppy's movements, so he knew that Poppy had gone to Lucia. Upon hearing this news, Jacob was very annoyed at Poppy's recklessness and went to her office to reprimand her upon receiving the news of her return.

When he came to Poppy's office and saw the two obvious slap marks on her face, Jacob did not feel any pain, but laughed in his heart. However, now he could not offend Poppy openly, so he said in a fake comfort, "Long ago I told you not to mess with her. Look at it now. You get yourself into troubles."

Poppy was stunned with his words. She knew she was in the wrong so it was very rare that she pursed her lips not to say anything and not to refute.

Jacob was happy to see her like this, but he asked, "Who dared to slap you?"

Jacob was deliberately stimulating Poppy. Of course he knew it was Lucia. Poppy still had some reputation in Athegate, and people generally did not dare to do anything to her.

"Who else could it be but that bitch!" Poppy said and gritted teeth at the mention of the slaps she received.
