She Is A CEO

“What would you do?” Lucia looked up into Arthur’s eyes, her eyes moist with tears.

Lucia’s moist eyes distressed him, but his sanity made him say the most hurtful words.

“If such a person doesn’t exist, you will be responsible for Julia’s accident. I am not sure if I can forgive you. Julia woke up from nightmares every day, cried, and shouted like crazy. I can’t bear to see her like that. She is my friend. I let you take care of her. But you… I don’t dare tell Julia’s parents about it. I am afraid they can’t stand it, and Julia doesn’t let me tell anyone.”

Arthur’s words were like a knife that was cutting Lucia’s heart. Tears were trickling down her face as she said softly.

“I know. I’m sorry for her. But Arthur, I didn’t lie… I didn’t leave her alone on purpose. I also felt sad after she got an accident.”

No woman can bear being sexually assaulted, not to mention being gang raped. Lucia could imagine the pain that Juliana was suffering, but it could not be the reason for her lies. It was not like the injured and the weak held justice and reason.

“Then tell me who that person is!” Feeling distressed by Lucia’s tears, Arthur wanted to believe her.

But…

“Sorry, I can’t reveal his identity…” Lucia cast down her eyes, tears welling up in her eyes and tricking down, and persisted in keeping it to herself.

She had her scruples. Though Jacob saved her, she was not sure about what Jacob would say or do if Arthur asked Jacob about it. Would Jacob tell the truth or make up a story? Lucia guess Jacob would choose the latter. Besides, Jacob had stayed with her for three days. Arthur would have doubts if he knew it.

“Can I say such a person doesn’t exist?” Lucia refused to be honest with him, but all the evidence indicated that she was lying. In his eyes, Juliana had no reason to make up a lie. After all, she was the victim. But he couldn’t believe Lucia was such a vicious person, so he gave her the last opportunity to confess.
