She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 80

"He can move freely. Eduard, thank you for your care during this time. I have been on leave longer than working hours, which probably caused a lot of discussion." Lucia knew that the more in the same company, the more privileges she had, and the more hostility she attracted. Eduard must have helped her suppress a lot of criticism.

"It's okay. Let's ignore what they say," Eduard didn't hide it deliberately, but comforted, "Your ability is the basis for determining whether you can take a free vacation. Don't thank me. If you want to thank me, thank yourself for why you are so capable."

Eduard's words did relieve Lucia's guilt to a certain extent, and the playful way of speaking made her laugh out loud.

The two chatted for a while before hanging up. As soon as Lucia turned around, she saw Arthur staring straight at her, so she asked him with a smile, "What are you looking at me for?"

"Eduard..." Arthur said his name, staring at Lucia.

Lucia rolled her eyes and said to him, "Why? Don't friends just call their first names? He has helped me so much, so why do I still call him Mr. Burton?"

Seeing him turn his head away and say nothing, Lucia smiled sweetly, walked to the sofa and sat beside Arthur. She nudged him and asked, "Are you jealous?"

Arthur turned his face away and didn't answer.

"I'll give you some sugar to mix it?" Lucia stood up and said, "I'll go to the kitchen and get you the whole jar of sugar."

But as soon as Lucia stood up, Arthur grabbed her arm and pulled her back. Lucia suddenly fell into Arthur's warm arms. She said in a panic,

"Your injury! Watch out for your injury," she said as she tried to arch up, but this time she was hugged tightly by Arthur.

"I'm all right, Lucia." Arthur buried his head in Lucia's hair, and the words seemed to mean more.

Lucia's face burned immediately upon hearing this, and Arthur seemed to be implying something...

Arthur saw that Lucia was finally no longer struggling, so he gently stroked her waist with the palm of his hand, and his voice was deliberately lowered like the seductive voice of a siren,

"It's time to think about the second child..."

Lucia's face had already turned bright red, and even a pair of eyes were slightly red.

Not yet?

Arthur smiled with relief. He was just trying to tease Lucia just now. Of course, it would be best if it could be faked, but more importantly, he didn't want to force her.

"Okay, okay, I'll stop teasing you." Arthur let go of Lucia readily, and said in a deliberately relaxed tone.

Lucia froze for a moment and turned to look at Arthur. Seeing a gentle smile on his face, she had a sigh of relief, and a little bit of loss...

Actually... if he pushed her again, it was not impossible...
