She Is A CEO

“You have three chances. The preconditions are, I won’t meet you in the middle of the night, nor will I do anything that may bring harm to other people. It’s true my mother’s belongings are important, but I’m not going to break my rules for them.”

Without hesitation, Jacob agreed. Lucia gave him the answer after consideration. He did not need to bargain with her over that. If he pushed her too much, he might end up with something less satisfying.

Now that he got the answer he wanted, he said, “Okay, three chances. It’s a deal. I won’t make it hard for you. And I need you to remove my number from your blacklist. I’m sure you know my number.”

Lucia glanced at him. It didn’t occur to her that he would mention his phone number. She did blacklist his number on purpose.

“What? You don’t want to do that?” He asked intentionally, seeing Lucia staring at him.

They made eye contact for a few seconds.

Without saying anything, Lucia took out her phone and removed his number from the blacklist while he was watching.

It greatly pleased Jacob. Finally, he felt a sense of superiority before her. “Oh, right. You cannot tell anyone about our deal. I would destroy the necklace the minute I know that you disclose our secret to anyone.”

What a cunning bastard. He knew Arthur and Eduard would spare no effort to help her. If they knew Jacob had threatened her with her mother’s relics, they might find other ways to set obstacles for him.

Poppy, who was green-eyed, could not know this either. Once she got mad with him, she was even more difficult to deal with than Arthur and Eduard.

“I know. And you must keep this deal in mind. If you break it or refuse to follow it, I will tell Poppy alone.” Lucia answered with impatience and then threatened Jacob.

If he broke his word, letting Poppy know would be the biggest punishment she gave to him.

He looked sullen and stared at Lucia for quite a while before nodding in silence.
