She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 718

Chapter 718 Ambition

"Your mentor is too kind," said Lucia calmly, as if she were not the one he was praising.

Jacob, who sat across from her, didn't seem to mind her indifference and continued,

"I admire not only your talent, but also your character and perseverance. Although it's not polite to say this, I want to be more honest with my goddess. I've read about your private affairs too. You and..."

Before Jacob could finish his words, Lucia cut him off. She stared at Jacob and said,

"How did you and Ms. Davidson meet?"

It was better to ask directly than to guess, though what he said may not be true.

Jacob paused for a few seconds, then smiled again and said,

"It was on a social media and we hit it off."

"So you can come back from abroad and help her?" Lucia continued.

"Of course not. At first, I had no intention of returning here, but when I found out that her company is based in Athegate..." Jacob didn't finish his words. Instead, a smile appeared on his face when he looked at Lucia.

Lucia raised an eyebrow. This man was blunt.

"You and Nia are more than just friends, aren't you?" Lucia smiled and stared at Jacob.

Jacob was silent for a few seconds, but smiled.

Lucia did not continue to ask, but turned to look out of the window. Her beautiful eyebrows and eyes showed that she was a little impatient.

"Nia... is strong. If we can put the past behind us, she's a woman worth cherishing." Just when Lucia thought he wouldn't answer, he spoke again.

Was he playing hard to get? Lucia looked back at Jacob and thought.

However, his evaluation of Nia had proven that he knew what had happened to Nia in the past, so he should still have a grudge against her. Lucia's eyes twinkled as she opened her mouth and asked,

"Has your voice always been this special?"

"My voice?" Jacob raised his eyebrows, apparently not expecting Lucia to notice his voice.

"Unnaturally hoarse," Lucia said.

"Well, I was in a car accident. My vocal cords were damaged, but luckily I didn't become mute," Jacob said with a smile.

Lucia stared at him who always spoke with a smile on his face. For a moment, it was hard to tell if it was real or not. It was all depending on Arthur's investigation.

"Your friend is waiting for you," said Lucia, not interested in asking any more questions, and looking at Leon, who kept looking in their direction.

Lucia's hint was obvious, but Jacob didn't want to leave.

"There's no hurry. It's a rare opportunity to sit face-to-face with you alone."

"That's among friends, Mr. Wood," Lucia said, squinting slightly.

"I don't know you very well."
