She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 922

Chapter 922 Heartbroken Memories

"It's okay. It's okay..." Even though his heart hurt unbearably, Arthur's priority will always be Lucia's feelings. When he sees her red eyes, he felt distressed, and he quickly stretched out his hands to hug the limp person into his arms and whispered softly to comfort her.
"You don't need to apologize to me. I overreacted."
"Arthur, don't spoil her all the time!" Although Eduard usually liked to bicker with Arthur, now he also felt that Lucia was a bit too much. It was just a bouquet of flowers. Why was she so indifferent to Arthur, so he sternly shouted,
"Lucia, explain what happened right away!"
Feeling Lucia's body tremble in his arms, Arthur turned his head and said to Eduard,
"Don't scare her!"
"I..." He was talking for him ! Eduard was speechless for a moment.
"It's Jacob..." Suddenly, Lucia, who was buried in Arthur's arms, uttered a sentence faintly, with every word filled with deep hatred into the air.
Hearing Jacob's name, everyone immediately became wary, especially Kane, who immediately asked,
"Lucia, what does this have to do with Jacob?!"
Arthur couldn't help being shocked, and looked down at Lucia's red eyes.
Lucia raised her eyes and looked back at Arthur. Her eyes had returned to clarity at this time. It was Arthur who calmed her down.
"Arthur, I'm sorry, but I can't stand the thought of the bouquet being from Jacob..."
"Lucia, how can you be sure that the bouquet is from Jacob?" Otis thought calmly and asked immediately.
Lucia's lips moved, but she didn't speak immediately. Arthur patted her back lightly when he saw this, and comforted,
"It's okay, if you don't want to talk about it..."
A bouquet of flowers can be identified as a gift from Jacob. Arthur knew that there must be an unforgettable experience for Lucia, and if she didn't want to say it, he wouldn't force her.
But before Arthur finished speaking, Lucia's eyes widened, she immersed in the memories, and faintly told everyone what happened back then.
It turned out that when Jacob approached Lucia as a poor and motivated young man, all he showed was frugality and hard work. On Lucia's birthday that year, Jacob didn't have the money to prepare expensive gifts, but what he gave Lucia at that time was the one that moved Lucia the most: the late cherry blossoms.
It was a bouquet of lavender late cherry blossoms picked by Jacob from the suburbs, even wrapped in newspapers, but Lucia was very moved by this, because Jacob told her that the words of late cherry blossoms were "silent love", just as he was to her.
For a long time, she had been seriously in love with the flower called late cherry, because she thought it was Jacob's seriousness to her.
But now it seemed that the late cherry blossoms were extremely ridiculous!
So when she saw the bouquet of flowers at the banquet just now, Lucia immediately understood that Jacob must have done it on purpose. She was reminded in such a sarcastic way. How could Lucia still maintain her rationality? She wanted to find Jacob!
"According to what Lucia said, could it be that Jacob secretly returned home?!" After hearing Lucia's story, everyone was astonished, and even Otis couldn't help but doubt it.
Everyone was concerned about Jacob's whereabouts, but Arthur only cared about the hurt in Lucia's eyes. If she hadn't given her sincerity at the beginning, how could she hate him like this?
Silently hugging Lucia tighter, Arthur told her gently with his body temperature and heartbeat that everything was over.
Although Arthur didn't express any more, his firm hug was enough to soothe Lucia's heart. Lucia laughed at herself in her heart, because she got so excited just with a bouquet of flowers. She was really sorry for Arthur.
"He probably didn't come back." It was Lucia who chased Jacob, and she was the one who said he didn't come back.
"Lucia?" Everyone was a little confused.
"It seems you've calmed down." Arthur looked down into Lucia's eyes, and the brows that had been deeply furrowed finally relaxed.
"Well," Lucia forced a slight smile and relieved Arthur's worries. "I was too excited just now. With Jacob's cunning level, how could he contact the delivery man himself, and still stay where he is? Look, today's farce is probably just trying to make me look bad by borrowing someone else's hands."
"The crux of the problem now is who he borrowed from." Arthur's eyes darkened, obviously angry.
It was unforgivable to use Lucia's simplicity to stimulate her!
"Lucia, we must find that person! It's too hateful!" Juliana also sorted out what happened, and said angrily.
"Don't worry. There are traces to follow." Lucia's voice was cold, faintly scattered into the air. Jacob, she had added another amount to the enmity between him and her!
When Lucia calmed down completely, and what happened was clarified, everyone was finally relieved, and now they had to face how to deal with the group of guests who had witnessed the whole process of Lucia's gaffe.
"It's okay," Lucia said frankly. "Just say I'm allergic to late cherry blossoms."
"Huh?" Everyone was a little overwhelmed, but Arthur instantly understood what Lucia meant.
"You're really smart." Arthur kissed Lucia's forehead lightly, with a faint smile on his lips.
Back at the banquet, when Lucia took the stage to explain, Otis and the others understood that what Arthur said was not just pampering, but affirmation.
"I'm sorry, my actions just now must have made everyone feel very confused." On the stage, with a faint smile on Lucia's lips, she calmly explained to everyone,
"It's just that I don't know who gave me a bouquet of late cherry blossoms as a birthday present tonight. You may not know that I am allergic to late cherry blossoms. Even when I get close to them, I feel that my breathing is blocked and my breath is restless. If someone can send me this kind of flowers, this person must know my allergy, and the intention is obvious."
After listening to Lucia's words, the guests immediately understood the ins and outs of the matter. The business competition was already treacherous and scheming, and the person's action was nothing more than trying to make Lucia look ugly in public. This little episode wouldn't make people question her character.
"Miss Webb, are you okay?" Some guests were already concerned loudly in the audience.
"Thank you for your concern. As long as I don't get close to those flowers, I will be fine. That's why I ran out in a hurry just now, which made everyone worry. I hope you don't mind what happened just now and continue to enjoy this beautiful night." Lucia responded with a smile to everyone's concern.
"Of course, we won't mind!" Everyone responded one after another, and kept telling Lucia to pay attention to her body.
