She Is A CEO

This was not the first time Lucia had heard these questions, and she just smiled lightly without a word. Lucia's silence made Eduard sigh. He went on, "Why not tell me? Don't you take me as your friend?"

Lucia shook her head and said, "No, it's just that there are some things that only I can carry. You've helped me a lot. I can't bother you anymore."

Lucia knew that Eduard had withstood a lot of pressure from the headquarters for her, and she also knew that Eduard had also helped her to suppress the media and public opinion. She had nothing to repay, so she cannot receive any more favors.

"I am..." Eduard almost said what he really thought. He wanted to say he was willing. But thinking of his lack of position, he retracted his words stiffly and turned to say, "Your friend. It is right for friends to help each other. Maybe one day I will need your help too?"

Lucia smiled and said to Eduard, "Then I will definitely help you."

Lucia's words made Eduard laugh, so he stopped talking about Arthur and Jacob but ordered the company's housekeeping to restore Lucia's office to its original state. When everything was done, Lucia was able to return to her own office, but no longer interested in working.

Lucia was tired, really tired. One thing after another happened to her, one after another, and she barely had room to breathe.

At this time, Lucia unusually thought of Arthur. She was sure that if Arthur understood her diverticulitis, he will come forward to carry all for her. But Lucia can not say anything, so only a thousand pounds of burden was taken on her own shoulders.

That afternoon, Lucia fell asleep on her desk for the first time during office hours. Nia found that and covered her with a coat. Then she found that Lucia was still frowning when she fell asleep, so Nia could only sigh helplessly.

Poppy fled from Jibillion Inc to JTP Group in a mess. She had taken the liberty to act this time, so she didn't go to Jacob to complain first as usual. However, she didn't go to Jacob, but Jacob came to her himself.

Jacob had instructed Samuel to observe Poppy's movements, so he knew that Poppy had gone to Lucia. Upon hearing this news, Jacob was very annoyed at Poppy's recklessness and went to her office to reprimand her upon receiving the news of her return.

When he came to Poppy's office and saw the two obvious slap marks on her face, Jacob did not feel any pain, but laughed in his heart. However, now he could not offend Poppy openly, so he said in a fake comfort, "Long ago I told you not to mess with her. Look at it now. You get yourself into troubles."

Poppy was stunned with his words. She knew she was in the wrong so it was very rare that she pursed her lips not to say anything and not to refute.

Jacob was happy to see her like this, but he asked, "Who dared to slap you?"

Jacob was deliberately stimulating Poppy. Of course he knew it was Lucia. Poppy still had some reputation in Athegate, and people generally did not dare to do anything to her.

"Who else could it be but that bitch!" Poppy said and gritted teeth at the mention of the slaps she received.

"Why didn't you discuss this with me before you went there?" Jacob comforted a few and now began to chastise.

Poppy sorrowfully looked askance at Jacob, complained that he did not care about her more, so her words became more vicious, "You had to go out and meet her alone. You didn't consider my feelings, so I just want to go to her after the report for the last hit. But I did not expect ...

For what Poppy couldn't say, Jacob said for her, "You didn't expect you'd suffer a big loss instead?"

Poppy pursed her lips again and ground her teeth.

"I do not know what you are afraid of. Lucia has always been our prey. Back then I did not like her at all, not to mention that she is now our biggest threat. If I have any feelings for her, don't I work for my own destruction? If you are jealous, you should be sensible, okay?" Jacob's face was not red when he lied.

"But..." Poppy wanted to say that now Lucia was different from the past, but she did not dare to say, being afraid that it would be like a reminder for Jacob.

"I do everything for us, for JTP Group. This morning's report has succeeded in making Lucia again the target. You went there for troubles but finally got lost. Amn't you proving that you're wrong? Do you really think those people outside are stupid? You don't understand conspiracy and trickery? Don't do these reckless things again, okay?"

Jacob's words were so heartfelt that even though Poppy was stubborn, she was moved and told Jacob that she would never act without permission again. And she would do whatever he wanted. This meek attitude was exactly what Jacob wanted. After a few words of comfort, Jacob returned to his office. Once there, Jacob immediately called Samuel in and ordered him to keep a closer watch on Poppy's whereabouts. This woman always spoiled his fun!

That afternoon, Lucia was not the only one who was upset. Sophie was upset too.

Sophie received Lucia's call and contacted Arthur, but he didn't answer his phone. Sophie was so anxious. According to Lucia's words, her son was very emotional. She was really afraid that something would happen to him, but the more afraid she was, the more she would get.

Around 5:30, when the city's traffic was most congested, Sophie received a call from Kyle who said that Arthur was in a car accident and now at Municipal Harmony Hospital. He asked Sophie to go there immediately.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Sophie was so shocked by the call that she dropped her phone on the floor. After calming down a bit, she asked Jan to take her to the hospital.

In the emergency room, Arthur was surrounded by a group of doctors and nurses. Sophie took a look at the situation.

She thought her son was seriously injured, was shocked to faint, and her feet turned weak. She still had Kyle standing beside her. Kyle was quick to help Sophie, and rushed to call the doctor to come and see. The nurses who had been standing by Arthur's bedside shifted positions and gathered around, and only then did Sophie, who had settled down, see Arthur's current appearance.

In the emergency room bed, Arthur's head was bandaged. And the bandages were faintly oozing blood. Both of his hands were injured, but the wounds had been bandaged. The only seemingly serious injury was his left calf that was put in a cast. And he still looked quite spry.

Seeing that Sophie fainted, Arthur wanted to go over but couldn't move, so he questioned Kyle, "What's going on?"
