She Is A CEO

Holding her hand, Arthur led Lucia to his office. When he was passing Kyle’s seat, he asked Kyle to buy some little cakes. Feeling that she might have bothered Kyle, Lucia smiled and thanked him.

Kyle was taken aback at the sight of her smile, but he was soon scared away by Arthur’s angry gaze and ran to buy cakes. Lucia was amused.

“Why did you scare him?” She asked amusedly while wiping away the tears resulting from laughing too hard.

“Many people stare at me. Are you going to glare at all of them?” Lucia held his arms and laughed as they walked into the office.

“I don’t have that much energy.” He said, “I only have energy enough to scare this one away.”

To have a relaxing Christmas holiday, Arthur had been working twice as hard as before.

Now when he saw the smile on Lucia’s face, he felt all his exhaustion fading away.

After Lucia seated herself on the couch, he turned the temperature up in case she felt cold with her coat off. Then he said, “I gotta work.”

Hearing that, Lucia looked at his desk where piles of documents were scattered. She nodded and checked the news on her phone, while Arthur engaged himself again in work.

Silence reigned over the office again. Both of them were doing their own business and trying not to disturb each other, but still, they cared for each other.

That was probably the most comfortable relationship.

Not long after, Kyle came back with cakes that he bought at a famous cake shop after walking through three blocks.

Lucia smiled and thanked him. This time, he almost buried his head into his chest, not daring to stare at her. He nodded and went out so that his boss wouldn’t glare at him.
