She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 689

Chapter 689 Heart Thumping

Jack and the others had settled down on the third floor, led by a servant, and their room happened to be near Spencer's.

Seeing Jack and the others enter the room, Spencer frowned. Was this a stakeout? But Bailey didn't give him a chance to question it. He opened the door and said,

"Spencer, this is your room. You can stay here for the next two days."

"What choice do I have?" Spencer quipped.

Bailey had a ruffian-like smile as he leaned into Spencer's ear and whispered,

"Choice? This is my home, not yours."

After the warning, Bailey turned and walked away. He was anxious to see his cute little niece!

Spencer was enraged by Bailey, but he couldn't do anything about it. As soon as he walked in the door, he didn't know how he was going to make it through the next two days. Spencer was starting to regret coming along, and was more regretful than ever that he did not resolutely resist Esmae's offer of Lucia to come to the Davies Manor.

With a slam of the door, Spencer could only express his anger in such a childish manner.

Entering the room, Spencer had time to call his father, Erik, to let him know he was okay, but Erik was not happy with Esmae's arrangement.

"Spencer, with Esmae's arrangement, you won't have time to go back to San Francisco to spend the holiday with me."

"Dad..." Spencer also felt helpless. "The Brown family is going to have a big party at Christmas, when all of Chicago's elite are going to be there. It's a great time to network. I can't miss it."

"I'll go, too," Erik suggested, but he didn't get a response from Spencer.

"Spencer?" Erik called out to his son in confusion.

"Dad..." Spencer didn't want to tell the truth, but he had to explain himself. "You know that Ms. Wilson has some... problems for you. She won't let you stay with her at Brown Manor for Christmas."

"Why?!" Erik was furious when he heard that and shouted, "I'm your father! I'm related to the Brown family. Why Can't I go?!"

Why? Didn't he know?

Spencer mumbled to himself, but he couldn't bring himself to say it. Instead, he comforted his father.

"Dad, it's just Christmas. We have time to spend together. Why should we care?"

"It's Christmas!" Erik said unhappily.

"Dad, don't put me on the spot..." Spencer sighed and complained.

Sure enough, Erik was silent for a moment. Just when Spencer thought he understood him, Erik said coldly,

"Fine, I won't go. I'll spend Christmas alone!"

Having said that, Erik hung up immediately, leaving Spencer alone to face the busy tone of the phone.

Lucia slept for four hours, and when she awoke, it was dark.
