She Is A CEO

Lucia looked into Eduard’s eyes and replied, “Something to do with Arthur?”

“Lucia, you are smart!” Eduard praised. Though he told the news to Lucia ambiguously, Lucia could get the hint so quickly.

“JTP Group beat Davonnis Corp and won over the development project of south side. Am I right?” It took her nothing to guess it. It was common that Davonnis Corp won. Only its failure could shock everyone.

“Yep, it caused a sensation in the industry. Arthur personally planned every step to get the project but still lost to Jacob. Some economic reports said that Davonnis Corp was on the decline, and JTP Group was on the rise. I think now Arthur must be down.” Eduard hesitated to talk about Arthur before. But Lucia looked like she had let it go, so he mentioned Arthur’s name.

“He is tough. Those reports have no influence on him.” Lucia heard Arthur mention his competition with JTP Group before. She guessed Arthur had expected the failure, so she didn’t worry about him very much.

Eduard did not answer, but drove and peeked at Lucia from time to time.

“What are you looking at?” Lucia asked after noticing his peeks.

“Lucia … are you okay?” Eduard was curious. Was a trip to Chicago so amazing? After she came back, she could talk about Arthur calmly with Eduard now.

“Whether I am fine or not, life goes on. You told me not to let it break me, didn’t you?” Lucia said with a smile.

“I was trying to encourage you to pull yourself together…” Eduard swallowed his unfinished words — I know it’s hard for you to do that. You did it, but I feel so distressed for you.

“Well, your encouragement works.” Lucia winked at Eduard naughtily as if she had gotten past it.

Eduard could only stop discussing it. He hoped that she was not pretending to be tough.

Back to her familiar home, Lucia felt lonely that Theodore was not there, but she was well aware it would be best to let Theodore stay with Esmae in Chicago.
