She is a CEO by George Chapman

Was there anyone in Athegate that could compete with Arthur? Lucia thought about it seriously.

Suddenly, Spencer's face came to her mind. A weird feeling surged through her. It seemed that all this happened after Spencer came to the Athegate...

She didn't tell her speculation to Arthur; she didn't want her doubts to affect their brotherly love.

But she still wanted to give Arthur some hints, so she asked casually, "Is your cousin Spencer still at Athegate?"

"Do you know Spencer?" Arthur raised his eyebrows and looked at Lucia with mixed emotions in his eyes.

Actually, that day when Spencer went to the villa to visit Juliana, Peter told Arthur about it. Later on, they contacted each other on the phone and Spencer told Arthur that he would stay in Athegate to hang out with his friends. Arthur didn't think too much about it.

"I've met him several times. He looks like a kind person," Lucia said casually after noticing something wrong with Arthur.

Arthur replied, "He's not. Spencer and his father, Erik, are good at scheming and playing dirty tricks. The business they are doing in the USA is illegal. My father haggles over it with Erik many times. If you meet Spencer in the future, stay away from him."

"Are you bad-mouthing your cousin and uncle behind their backs?" Lucia asked, amused by Arthur's words.

"You will be the daughter-in-law of the Davies family sooner or later. The earlier you know it, the better," Arthur answered confidently.

"Don't babble nonsense!" Lucia blushed and cursed, but her heart was beating fast.

She knew very well that Arthur was very firm about their relationship, and what he said just now was not a joke.

"I didn't." Arthur then pulled Lucia into his arms, pouring out his deep affection for her.

The next day, as usual, Arthur sent his son to the kindergarten and his wife to the company before he went to his own company. To his surprise, Juliana had come to the company herself.

He thought Juliana would make a fuss about his staying out last night, but she didn't even mention it. Arthur felt his thought was too despicable.

On second thought, he realized that Juliana hadn't mentioned Lucia for a long time. With faith in Juliana, he believed Juliana's hatred for Lucia had been wearing off. He was happy about her change, but what he didn't know was that Juliana had a big plan on her mind.

The development project in the south of the city not only presented an opportunity for Arthur to test Jacob, but also related to the future of Davonnis in the next half year. Thus, as soon as Arthur arrived at the company, he buried himself in work and planned every step to get the project with his subordinates. He didn't believe that he would fall for Jacob's trick again.

Juliana majored in archaeology and knew nothing about business. Seeing that Arthur was so busy, she served coffee, handed documents, and seemed to throw herself into work, which made Arthur feel relieved.

In JTP Group, Jacob was also making plans for this project. Poppy knew that he wanted to compete with Arthur on this project, so she put aside her grudge against him temporarily and assisted him seriously. During this period, Poppy had a question.

One day, after a meeting with the subordinates, Poppy stayed in Jacob's office.

After thinking for a while, she asked, "Jacob, you seem very confident in winning this project."

"Well, don't you have confidence?" Jacob smiled and asked Poppy.

"Well, I do. But Davonnis is stronger than JTP Group. We don't stand a chance to win it." She knew how strong Branch of Davonnis was, but Jacob looked so confident and ambitious in the process of making project plans, which created doubt.

"So what?" Jacob snorted, "We took away several big projects from it, didn't we?"

Jacob's words made Poppy more suspicious. He wouldn't be so confident if he didn't have a trump card.

So, she asked tentatively, "Jacob, is someone helping us in secret?"

Jacob knew Poppy very well. He was aware of her intention as soon as he heard her question.

'Wanna test my response?' Jacob thought.

He feigned displeasure, stared at Poppy, and said, "What? Don't you believe in my ability? Don't you believe that I can defeat Arthur on my own?"

Seeing Jacob's angry face, Poppy explained immediately, "I didn't mean that. I just want to know if someone helps us secretly. We should thank him."

"Well, if such a person existed, I would have thanked him," Jacob said, "Can you stop being suspicious? Whether by ourselves or by luck, we have won Davonnis several times. I just gained some confidence, but you got suspicious. Poppy, can you have a bit of trust in me?"

Upon hearing his words, Poppy immediately feigned pity and said softly, "Jacob, I know you are working very hard. I shouldn't have suspected you."

"Good." Jacob snorted. Then he ignored Poppy and lowered his head to read the documents.

Being ignored, Poppy wanted to lose her temper with him, but at the thought of his criticism just now, she could only let it go. Holding back her anger, she left his office.

When she walked out of the door, Poppy winked at Tomas, who had been standing at the door, and signaled for him to go with her.

Tomas was arranged by Poppy to spy on Jacob. Without any doubt, he followed her to the corner.

He walked over and said respectfully, "Madam, what can I do for you?"

With her head down, Poppy fiddled with her nails and asked casually, "Has Jacob met someone you don't know recently?"

Tomas thought for a while and shook his head at first. Poppy didn't give up and let him think again. Then he remembered something. "Mr. Taylor did meet a stranger before the new year, but only once." "Only once?" Poppy repeated his words, thinking that it should not be a customer, so she continued, "What's his name?"

"At that time, he came to the company and asked to meet Mr. Taylor for something urgent. I couldn't decide whether to let him in, so I transferred his call to Mr. Taylor. Soon, he came upstairs. So I didn't know his name," Tomas replied while recalling.

Poppy thought carefully about every word Tomas had said.

Jacob had become much more complacent over the years. Though he treated others with good manners, Poppy knew very well he was proud and arrogant. This was the first time he had allowed a person who didn't make any appointments to meet him directly. Poppy guessed that person must be a big shot!
