She is a CEO by George Chapman

Chapter 209 Wait a While Longer



"Arthur, you're back?" Opening the door and seeing Arthur, Juliana asked with a smile on her face.

"Hmm," Arthur replied as he passed Juliana and walked into her room, continuing, "Have you been unwell recently?" "No," Juliana replied as she closed the room door and followed Arthur.

"Then why don't you go to my office with me?" Arthur whirled around and asked, staring straight into Juliana's eyes. Juliana's heart thumped. Pretending to be calm, she asked him, "Arthur, why do you speak to me in such a tone?" "What tone?" Arthur said faintly.

"Like you're interrogating me," Juliana forced herself to look into Arthur's eyes and said coldly.

Arthur withdrew his gaze, walked aside and replied casually, "You think too much. I'm just worried that you feel unwell."

Juliana stared at Arthur and interjected, "I've been uncomfortable from morning sickness lately. You were busy working, so I didn't tell you ..."

Arthur turned back, and found that Juliana had lowered her head and she looked aggrieved.

"Didn't I tell you to tell me as soon as you feel uncomfortable?" Though he said so, he didn't look worried about Juliana at all.

"You're so busy. I don't want to bother you ..." Juliana said in a low voice.

"It's true that I haven't had much time these days. Do you know what price I offered to gain the project?" Walking to the bedside, Arthur swept a glance at the messy bed and asked Juliana as if inadvertently. "I don't know." Juliana shook her head, her heart pounding.

"20 billion higher than the budget, and everyone is probably laughing at me," Arthur turned back, looked at Juliana and said.

Juliana hung her head lower after hearing this and replied, "Hmm."

Feeling that she seemed to act too indifferently, she immediately looked up with a worried face and asked Arthur, "Arthur, is it a serious problem?"

"Well, it might affect the revenue in the second half of the year," Arthur replied, "Aren't you curious about why I offered such a high price?"

Juliana was confused.

"At the bidders conference, Jacob offered five billion higher than mine each other. When I offer a price of 50 billion, he stopped bidding, so 50 billion is the final price that Davonnis Corp needs to pay," Arthur talked about it calmly and looked at Juliana from time to time.

"So that's it..." Juliana murmured, seemingly indignant.

"Jacob knows the maximum bid provided by Davonnis Corp. So, I have been busy finding out who leaked that exact number to him recently." Arthur fixated on Juliana as he spoke.

Juliana tried her best to calm herself down, feigned an innocent look and asked Arthur worriedly.

"Hope you find out who has betrayed you as soon as possible!"

"Yeah..." Arthur said, "It's time to investigate properly. After all, only the people I trust the most can enter and leave my office freely, and to be honest, I'm now conflicted about whether to investigate this thoroughly."

Arthur said these words purposely to test Juliana's response. After all, she was the one most likely to do it!

Juliana looked at Arthur in a daze for a long time, and then mumbled, "Are you doubting me?"

Juliana's heart was pounding. If so she had to find a way to clear Arthur's suspicion of her.

Arthur raised an eyebrow and said, "How can it be you...? Julia, we are childhood friends and grew up together. That can't be you."

Arthur just revealed his real thoughts and he also wanted to know Juliana's response.

"If you didn't suspect me, why did you have to come to my room to say these things..." Juliana said sadly and asked Arthur, "Arthur, why did I have to help Jacob ?"

Arthur said, "You have no reason to do that. That's why I tell this to you. My reason tells me that you are suspicious, but my emotion tells me that it cannot be you. I do not want to misunderstand you because of this matter. Confessing real thoughts is better than being suspicious.

Juliana listened to Arthur's words and felt that Arthur was implying something.

"Well, it's late. You get some rest." Having finished what he had to say, Arthur left Juliana's room. Whether she did it or not, Arthur wasn't going to question her at that moment.

When Arthur left, Juliana no longer hid her emotions. Her forehead beaded with sweat, she rushed to the bed and sat down to soothe herself.

"Kane..." At this time, Juliana really missed Kane and wished he could be by her side.

Thinking of Kane, Juliana's eyes gradually dimmed. After a long time, she resumed her even breathing, and when she looked up again, her gaze became firm again. She did everything just for their future!

In the midst of the bustling downtown, Jacob met Spencer for a drink at one high-end place.

"Spencer, what a good move. You can't imagine how bad Arthur looked at that time!" Jacob was holding a half-drunk bottle of wine in his hand and drunkenly complimented Spencer.

"Nothing to be proud of, Davonnis Corp is far more powerful than you can imagine. Though Davonnis Corp suffered a setback this time, it is still powerful as before," Spencer said indifferently.

"No need to rush. As long as we continue to join forces, the downfall of Davonnis Corp is just around the corner!" Jacob sounded much bolder because of the wine.

Spencer smiled and turned to Jacob, "Have you gotten any plan to deal with your wife yet?"

"Her?" At the mention of Poppy, Jacob's eyes turned disdainful and he said, "Soon."

"Finish her as soon as possible. Don't let her be a hindrance to our efforts against Arthur!" Spencer said alertly.

"Got it. Wait a while longer, when she makes irretrievable errors," Jacob said with a horrible smile.

"Looks like you get something on her?" Spencer asked with a smile.

"Yes, I am just waiting for her to make a mistake. By then I'll kick her out!" Jacob said without mercy.
