She is a CEO by George Chapman

Eduard entered Lucia's office and saw her laughing in tears.

"Lucia, go!" Eduard rushed up to Lucia and grabbed her wrist and pulled her out. Lucia froze for a moment then shook his hand off.

"Where?" Lucia wiped her tears with her right hand.

"Go to settle scores with Arthur!" Eduard had read that news report and remembered what Arthur had said to Lucia that night, and now this engagement party was a slap in Arthur's face. "What's the point of doing it? He doesn't owe me anything," Lucia said in a cold voice.

"He doesn't owe anything? He told you it was an accident, and then he's engaged to her. He's a liar!" Eduard shouted angrily as if he had been hurt more.

"I've broken up with him. It has nothing to do with me anymore," Lucia said indifferently.

"Then why are you crying?" Eduard yelled in anger.

Seeing Lucia's face go pale, he hurriedly apologized, "Sorry, Lucia, I didn't mean it. I ..."

Lucia forced a smile and said, "No need to apologize. You're just telling the truth."

Eduard was so distressed to see Lucia's sad face. He approached her, stared at her, and said, "Lucia, stop being so selfless. Go to Arthur's house and ask him for an explanation!"

"And then? What can be changed?" Lucia asked Eduard as she raised her eyes to meet his.

Eduard was speechless.

What could be changed? The engagement between Arthur and Juliana may have been known to the whole country. Nothing could be changed even if Lucia went to Arthur and made a scene But, he felt indignant for Lucia!

"Are we just going to let Arthur and Juliana get away with it?"

"Do you think I want to?" Lucia flared up and stood up with a slap on the table. She couldn't hold herself back or pretend to be strong anymore.

"I want a man who loves me with his whole heart, but Arthur can't! What can I do?"

Eduard was at a loss for words.

"I know I can't get whatever I wish, so I force myself to let it slide. It's useless to make a scene!" Lucia told her true thoughts sadly. It was not that she gave up on Arthur, but Arthur had never belonged to her! "Lucia ..." Looking at Lucia's eyes full of tears, Eduard did not know what to say except for feeling distressed for her.

"Let's not talk about it anymore. I want to go back to rest." Lucia didn't want to show her weakness in front of anyone. After she finished speaking, she grabbed her coat and walked out, turning her head to glare at Eduard when he was about to catch up. Her gaze seemed ruthless but actually betrayed her pain.

Eduard stopped in his tracks and looked at Lucia's back with knitted brows.

Lucia walked past her colleagues towards the outside, afraid that she could not help squatting down and crying out if she paused.

Having finally walked out of the entrance of Jibillion Inc, Lucia lowered her head and walked forward, but someone suddenly clasped her elbow, and a family voice she never wanted to hear sounded.

"Lucia."

It was his voice.

Turning her head, Lucia saw Arthur's guilt-ridden expression.

"Let go of me," she bellowed in a voice cold like an ice blade.

"Lucia, I beg you to spare me some time." Arthur did not let go of Lucia. Albeit noble and powerful, he appeared very humble in front of his beloved woman.

"I don't think it's necessary." Lucia had just lost her temper. She was clear that she couldn't contain her emotions at present. She didn't want to betray her emotions in front of Arthur, so she refused him. "I just say a few words, and I'll leave when I'm done." Arthur clasped her with a firm gaze.

"Mr. Davies, I am not your subordinate and do not need to follow your orders." Lucia refused and started to struggle to break free from Arthur, but Arthur gripped her so tightly, which annoyed her. "Lucia, I know you're angry, but you must hear me out today." His voice became determined.

Lucia frowned. Albeit repulsed, she blurted out, "Go ahead."

Lucia hated that she still wanted to hear his explanation.

Arthur changed color at her words. He then held Lucia's hand and took her to his car, but Lucia stopped, stood still, and said in a cold voice, "Say it right here."

She thought she could follow him wherever he went, but now she even resisted walking a few steps with him.

Arthur looked around. Both of them were influential, and now many people stopped to look at them curiously.

Arthur could only say, "It's not convenient here."

Lucia knew it was not good to talk about personal matters in public, but she didn't want to follow Arthur anywhere, so she walked back towards Jibillion Inc's underground parking lot, which was empty at this hour.

Arthur could only follow her reluctantly. He would do as she wished as long as she was still willing to listen to him.

They walked into the underground parking lot where there was no sunlight and the air became cold. She walked straight to the aisle, turned around to face Arthur and said, "Just say it." Lucia was waiting, but Arthur was speechless for a moment.

If he could, he would love to take Lucia into his arms and tell her that he still loved her and he only wanted her, but he knew he couldn't.

Lucia was impatient, and when Arthur didn't say anything, she added, "I'm leaving if you don't say anything."

"Lucia, wait." Arthur took a step forward in a hurry, but saw Lucia step backward, with undisguised disgust on her face, which Arthur feared the most, and stung him the most.

"Lucia, I know I did something wrong, I can choose to keep my mouth shut, but I can't. I have to explain myself to you," enduring the pain in his heart, Arthur opened his mouth and said.
