She Is A CEO

"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...

The next day, both Arthur and Lucia returned to their daily lives. They had not been in the public for a long time and received the same attention in their respective fields, but neither of them cared about it, but threw themselves into work.

As soon as Lucia returned to the company, she was immediately informed by Nia about the latest work details. Jibillion Inc was currently working on a project development, and now was a critical juncture. Lucia immediately participated in it as soon as she knew it. She took a week to overcome a lot of problems that the subordinates could not solve. And the project was implemented ahead of schedule. Many villains were talking about Lucia taking credit as soon as she came back. Nia was very angry after knowing that. But Lucia didn't care, and asked Nia to delete her from the list of main project leaders. Everything she did was for the company's development, not for the sake of taking credit for herself.

This time, even those mean people had nothing to say.

Eduard talked to Lucia after knowing this, hoping that she would take back her wish. After all, she had been on vacation for a long time, and her achievements at this time just proved her ability and strength. "Eduard, thank you for thinking of me. I don't care what other people say. Besides, you are my boss, you know what I have done." Lucia said with a smile, and there was some joking meaning in her tone. Eduard admired Lucia's open-mindedness, nodded and said, "That's true. No one has one talking behind their backs, as long as you have a clear conscience."

Lucia responded with a smile.

During this time, both Jacob and Poppy stopped talking about Lucia. The two seemed peaceful on the surface, but they each had their own plans in their hearts, especially Poppy, who recently got a great opportunity which unexpectedly came from Kane.

Kane was ordered by the company to go to Kenya to deal with a death compensation incident two weeks ago.

In September of this year, there was an accidental death in the Archaeological team, and Kane's law firm took on the case.

Kane was a top lawyer in the company, so he was ordered to go to Kenya to handle the case. Once Kane got there, he understood what happened, and then questioned the witnesses at the time of the inciden one by one to collect further evidence. At this time, he encountered a special people.

Kane needed to understand what happened. Among the many men, a sweet-looking woman with a cheerful smile caught his attention.

That person was Juliana, Arthur's childhood friend who participated in the archaeological work.

Juliana was currently working at the University of Kansas, and engaged in archaeological work. She participated in the excavation work in Kenya three years ago. She only returned to the United States every Christmas. When she heard that Kane was from Athegate, she told him with great interest that her friend Arthur was also working at Athegate and asked him if he knew him.

Kane was amazed at the time. He didn't expect to meet Arthur's friend abroad, and after listening to her description, he knew that she had a close relationship with Arthur. Kane said that he didn't know Arthur, but only heard of his name, and told the news to Poppy that night.

Poppy was naturally overjoyed when she heard the news, and immediately wanted to make a fuss about Juliana, so she asked Kane to approach her deliberately, preferably to win her favor and facilitate future actions.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

He was a modest gentleman himself, not only spoke elegantly, but also behaved like a gentleman. Such a person was the most unguarded, not to mention that he won the lawsuit for the dead archaeologist half a month later. Kenya's side was willing to make compensation, which made him look great in the Archaeological team, like a hero.

Juliana had a strong sense of justice, and even took the opportunity to thank Kane for the team members.

Kane humbly accepted her thanks, and then revealed in his words that he was about to return. He had already learned from other people that Juliana's work here had already ended, and now she was just sorting out the information. Sure enough, Juliana had a hesitant look on her face when she heard he was about to leave. Kane knew she wanted to go back to see Arthur, so he took the opportunity to ask her if she wanted to go home together.

Kane's suggestion made Juliana's heart move. Her work was over now. She can leave at any time, and the college gave her a long vacation in order to reward her. Kane proposed to go to Athegate at this time.
