She Is A CEO

Chapter 1035 Secretly Pointing

After listening to Lucia's words, Lauren couldn't help but turn her head to look at Eve, who was smiling beautifully. He seemed unable to make a decision.

"Anyway," Lucia noticed Lauren's hesitation and continued, "those who do wrong will eventually suffer the consequences. Nia and Kevin won't be able to escape for long. You just need to take care of your little flower and deal with anything that comes up later."

"That's all we can do," Lauren had always been a proud figure since childhood, able to control everything around him. The only person who could make him hesitate was Eve.

Although Eve and Daphne were chatting happily, their eyes couldn't help but glance at Lucia and Lauren. What were they talking about for so long?

"You really like that gentleman?" Daphne used to be naive too, but now she could see through Eve's thoughts with just one glance.

Eve blushed slightly and didn't deny it when she lowered her head.

Seeing Eve's shyness in her eyes, Daphne smiled and said, "No wonder you looked at Lucia strangely earlier. Don't worry. Lucia has Arthur already. There is nothing between them."NôvelDrama.Org content.

"I'm not..." Eve wanted to explain herself quickly but seeing Daphne smiling knowingly made it seem too deliberate. So she lowered her head again in shyness mixed with timidity.

This girl was too easy-going. Daphne thought humorously in her heart before saying, "Eve, your introverted personality matches perfectly with that gentleman's outgoing nature. If you two are really interested in each other, then sometimes you also have think about him."

Eve didn't understand why Daphne said this, but before she could ask any questions, both Lauren and Lucia returned back from wherever they went off earlier.

"Sorry for taking up your time," said Lucia teasingly towards Eve.

Lauren gave a helpless look towards Lucia, wondering why did she have tease poor girl every time?

Lucia winked at Lauren before saying, "I still need accompany her here so I'll leave you two alone now." With that statement, both of them left.

"How come you get along so well?" asked an envious looking Lauren towards Eve's direction after watching how well they got along together earlier on.

"Well... she has a similar personality like mine... and I never had many friends before..." replied Eve. Not only did she have no friends. Because Eve was seriously ill, not only dropped out of school early, but also gradually lost contact with the friends she made at school at that time. In fact, she was eager for friendship.

"In that case, let me get contact information from her so both of you can talk more often then!" Lauren felt sorry for the silence between Eve's brows, so he said.

"No need," Eve said playfully. "We already exchanged contact information earlier."

Lauren raised an eyebrow seductively and leaned down to whisper in Eve's ear, "Why aren't you being more forward with me?"

Eve felt Lauren's warm breath on her face and blushed deeply.

Lauren noticed Eve's shyness and smiled even wider.

Eve was a simple-minded person, just like Daphne who was also open about her feelings. Ever since the day Daphne reminded her that Lucia and Lauren were not involved romantically, Eve had let go of that worry. She even secretly searched online and found out that Lucia did indeed have a loving boyfriend with whom she had two children. It seemed like she was making a big deal out of nothing.

But... why did Lauren tell her about her sister's situation in private? This still bothered Eve.

After the salary dispute passed, it turned out that Lucia could quickly quell the protests, which disappointed Nia and Kevin who had miscalculated.

"If we knew they could settle this so quickly, we should have pretended to investigate," Nia now regretted not doing anything earlier as she blamed Kevin, "Now we haven't done anything yet. It's only a matter of time before Lucia comes after us."

Kevin glanced at Nia slightly displeased but still spoke gently, "I really underestimated them. I wanted to use this opportunity to make Lucia give up Stable Growth but I didn't expect..."

"Okay okay," seeing Kevin admitting his mistake himself, Nia knew she should not to be too harsh on him so she leaned softly against him saying, "I'm not blaming you or anything. It's just our situation is awkward now with Casper causing trouble for us while Lucia and Arthur are watching us closely since Stable Growth has been sold off already... what should we do?"

"Why worry?" Kevin raised an eyebrow saying, "We have an ace up our sleeve. Worst case scenario is having your sister follow along with Lauren back to Mexico where wealth is abundant beyond just Stable Growth."

Kevin's ambition was higher than the sky itself.

However, Nia disagreed, "You're simplifying things too much! What kind of family does Lauren come from? Even if we've never been there ourselves, there must be some news reports on TV! With their background going there would be like walking on thin ice. One wrong move could mean death! We should focus instead on using him for climbing higher positions."

Nia rarely made such insightful analysis which convinced Kevin as he changed his tune, "You're right."

"You need to take control of Eve. She's known Lauren for almost three months now, and they haven't even slept together yet. How can this relationship be stable? You need to 'persuade' her," said Kevin. "That's just her personality. She only knows how to act like a chaste woman, but if she had already been in Lauren's bed, would we still have to grovel before him?" replied Nia with frustration. "Don't show this kind of emotion in front of Eve. I've been sweating for you several times already. Don't let her see that you don't have any feelings for her," Kevin reminded with a frown.

"I know. I'll be careful," lazily promised Nia as she twisted her waist and entangled herself with Kevin, forgetting all about his words.

Nia had been coming to the hotel frequently these days, and Eve had something on her mind. When she saw Nia, there was always a hint of flicker in her eyes. However, Nia didn't care about Eve's emotions at all and didn't bother paying attention even if she noticed anything...

"Eve," pulling on Eve's hand with an ambiguous expression on her face, Nia asked, "Have you... you done... with Lauren?"

"What do you mean?" Eve didn't understand anything and couldn't catch onto Nia's implication at all.

What an idiot! Inwardly cursing at Eve's stupidity, Nia still patiently hinted at it again, "You know between men and women...what can happen?"

This time Eve understood what was being implied. Her face turned red as she quickly covered it while scolding, "What are you talking about, Nia?!"

"Why are you shy around your sister? You're already twenty years old! If it weren't for your body holding you back then, maybe you would've had many boyfriends by now. This kind of thing will happen sooner or later." said Nia patiently
