She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 681

Chapter 681 Compromise

"Is it true that you miss Teddy? You just want to give Edwin and Sophie a chance to see the baby. That's what you want." Esmae was unsparing in exposing Lucia's intention.

"Even so, isn't it possible?" Lucia, knowing that Esmae had a sharp mind and that any further deception would only backfire, said bluntly,

"They are her grandparents, and that bond can not be changed. Even if you have a problem with it, what if you let them see each other on Christmas? I promise I won't stay long, and as soon as they meet, I'll be home. I won't miss the reunion."

"You tell me, just to inform, not to negotiate?" Esmae read Lucia's mind.

"I did think of other ways to hide their meeting from you, but after much thought, I don't want to hide it from you. I don't regret my feelings for Arthur. I respect them as well. So, no matter what, I will let them meet on Christmas." Lucia expressed her thoughts bitterly.

Esmae was indeed moved by Lucia's words, and, aside from all her grudges with Edwin and Sophie, Lucia was not wrong in this idea.

"Spencer knows what you're doing?" Esmae asked about Spencer instead.

"He had just left the building, and I had already told him what I thought," she said with a hint of impatience at the mention of Spencer.

"But he asked me to go with him to San Francisco to visit his father, and then back to Brown Manor. I refused. I don't want to deal with Erik, and I certainly don't want to spend the holiday at his house."

Esmae could imagine the conflict between the two of them, and she didn't like Erik too. Now Spencer felt guilty for Lucia, and it was too much humble to ask her to go with Spencer to visit Erik. She frowned, and finally came up with a compromise,

"Yes, I'll let you take the baby to them..."

"Really? !" Lucia's eyes sparkled, but Esmae said again.

"Before you get too excited, hear me out. You can take the baby to see them, but Spencer will have to follow you and the baby all the way home."

"Esmae!" said Lucia unhappily. "You know Spencer's relationship with the Davies family. Let him follow..."

"That's why I let him follow you. Lucia, this is my biggest concession. If you're not willing, then go straight home and don't go anywhere!" Esmae's words were unquestionable.

Lucia looked down, pursed her lips, and did not say a word for a long time.

Esmae knew Lucia was upset, but she had made up her mind.

"Listen to me and let Spencer follow you. You have someone to take care of you, don't you?"

"I don't need his care," said Lucia angrily.

"Be good." Esmae's words were partly soothing, and partly commanding.

Lucia sighed silently. It wasn't what she wanted, but it was better than sneaking off to see Edwin and Sophie, so she gave in,
