She Is A CEO

Esmae glanced at the receptionist, and just as she was about to speak, Reynolds’ voice came from behind her, “Mom?”

Esmae looked back at Reynolds and smiled.

Showing her to the office, Reynolds didn’t ask much, as if he already knew why she was there.

“The company’s doing well, Reynolds. I think I’m going to have to think about putting you back in the family business with Shawn,” Esmae told Reynolds, half-jokingly, as soon as she sat down.

“Mom…” Reynolds was upset. She knew he was doing it for Lucia.

“Now, to business,” Esmae said to Reynolds with a quick change of tone, “Come back with me.”

“No,” Reynolds answered even faster.

“Reynolds, be good!” Even facing his thirty-two-year-old son, Esmae said in a mother’s voice, “If your persistence pays off, I won’t try to persuade you, but Lucia won’t change her mind, so why bother?”

“Mom, do you think I’d still be here if I could let go?” Reynolds was more helpless than anyone else. He knew it was impossible, but he couldn’t forget Lucia. What could he do?

Looking at the pain in Reynolds’ eyes, Esmae sighed, “Wouldn’t it be more painful if you stay? Stay away from her. Maybe you’ll forget.”

“Lucia can’t help herself now. I’m not going to leave her, and whether or not I can help her here, I’m not going anywhere.” Reynolds’ obstinacy may be stronger than Esmae’s.

“So you’d rather she’s with Arthur?” Esmae asked Reynolds.

Arthur is the one she loves, and she’s happy. Even if I don’t like it, but with Spencer,” Reynolds said with a stern look in his eyes, “I absolutely don’t agree! No matter what I do, I’m
