She Is A CEO

Chapter 1045 A Kind Reminder

Leaning against Arthur, Lucia's gentle expression showed in her eyebrows, "Finally, we can go see Teddy and the baby."

"The baby is already eight months old. If we don't name her soon, she'll really be called 'baby' for the rest of her life. Let's take care of it this time," Arthur said with a gentle smile.

"Mm-hmm," Lucia softly agreed. The night wind was cold, but snuggling up to Arthur kept her warm.

Two days later, Lucia and Arthur set off for New York. On the way there, Lucia made a special stop at Dekee Hotel to see Lauren and get Eve's medical records. Unexpectedly, there was a small incident in between.

Lucia never beat around the bush when she went to see Lauren; she went straight to his door as usual. But coincidentally enough, Eve saw her.

"I haven't even knocked on his door yet..." Lucia laughed inwardly as her hand hung in mid-air.

Eve looked like a mouse seeing a cat when she saw Lucia and instinctively wanted to retreat back into her room. But Lucia stopped her, "Miss Davidson, since you've seen me already, at least say hello?" Eve pursed her lips and could only reluctantly mutter, "Hello Ms. Webb..."

It reminded Lucia so much of Daphne that she didn't think Eve was annoying.

Lucia walked up boldly to Eve. Because of how tall she was compared to petite Eve - half-a-head taller than her - she was staring at what little bit of head space that remained above Eve's head before saying with amusement,

"You look better these past few days. Has your illness improved?"

"Thank you for your concern, Ms. Webb. I'm doing slightly better." Her voice was low like a mosquito buzzing around their ears.

"There's something I want to ask you, Miss Davidson. Do you mind answering?" continued Lucia with another smile on her face.

"What is it?" asked Eve quietly.

"You know what my relationship is with your sister, right?" asked Lucia.

"Yes," replied an even quieter voice from Eve.

"If you know that much, then why didn't you tell her that I knew Lauren?" questioned Lucia again.

Eve froze momentarily as mixed emotions ran through herself about this question which had troubled herself for quite some time now, without any clear answers coming out from within herself.

"Do you also sense something strange going on here?" asked Lucia leaning forward towards Even gently without any hostility or aggression behind those words.Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

Listening to Lucia's voice, Eve couldn't help but look up and meet her eyes.

Lucia's starry eyes were so beautiful, especially when she smiled with a hint of coldness. Even if Eve didn't want to admit it, the voice in her heart was clear: someone with such clear eyes couldn't be a bad person... But could her sister be one?

Eve's conflict was written all over her face, and the more Lucia saw through her, the deeper she smiled meaningfully as she straightened up and said,

"I am an only child and may not understand the intimate relationship between sisters, but I know that right and wrong cannot be blinded by family ties. They will not use this to make things difficult for someone they love."

Every word from Lucia entered Eve's heart, but she couldn't answer.

Just as they were talking, Eve's phone suddenly rang in her hand. She answered it only to find out that her sister had arrived at the hotel and was now calling to ask her to open the door while riding up in the elevator. In a hurry, she said yes before hanging up. Then she said to Lucia, "My sister is coming. You must go!"

Lucia raised an eyebrow with a smile. It seemed that even though Eve had conflicted feelings about their situation due to family ties, deep down inside she still knew right from wrong.

But now was not the time for Nia to discover them. So, without hesitation or politeness whatsoever, Lucia turned around towards Lauren's door knocking hard on it.

"Lauren! Quickly open this door for me!"

In just seconds, Lauren's door opened slightly, allowing Lucia enough space push herself inside quickly closing it behind herself once again.

Seeing Lucia like this made Lauren touch his nose which almost got hit asking,

"Why are you so nervous?"

"I chatted with your little flower earlier," Lucia explained smilingly then corrected herself, "No wait... I actually came here specifically looking for you."

After speaking those words, Lucia sat comfortably on Lauren's sofa without any sign of being a guest at all.

Lauren smiled helplessly, reached out to lock the door behind Lucia and entered the living room. Seeing her leisurely sitting on the sofa and pouring tea by herself, he smiled, "What did you talk about earlier?"

"You're so nervous about what we talked about? Don't you want to know why I came looking for you?" teased Lucia mischievously while sitting beside him laughing softly. She fully knew how many times he fell into these traps already.

Seeing that Lauren wasn't falling prey again, Lucia sighed playfully,

"Just reminding your little flower to pay attention to her sister's character. I didn't say anything, so don't worry," Lucia said with a slight smile.

Lauren remained silent.

"Arthur and I are planning to go back to the USA for Christmas. It might be a while before we come back. You mentioned that you were looking for an expert to treat Miss Davidson's blood disease. Well, I have a friend who knows an expert who specializes in this type of illness. I'm coming over here specifically to get Miss Davidson's medical records and pass them on for him to review and see if there are any good treatment options."

Upon hearing this, Lauren's calm expression finally broke down as he became excited.

"Really?!"

Lucia smiled and nodded.

Lauren was ecstatic; it was rare for this stern man to show such excitement on his face. He sighed,

"I've been sending people out looking for experts, but since it hasn't been my area of expertise, there hasn't been any progress made so far. Having someone who specializes in these types of illnesses is the best thing that could happen! Thank you so much, Lucia!"

"Well, we don't need to thank each other between us two," Lucia said with a smile still on her face. "I just hope your little flower gets better soon."

"After Nia leaves, I'll go get the medical records. You can stay here until then," Lauren said with a smile.

"What? Are you going over there yourself?" Lucia immediately saw through Lauren's intentions.

"Nia never comes over without causing trouble when she visits Eve. Even though I can't stop her from coming temporarily, stirring things up is still possible."

"So you're leaving me here all alone as your guest?" Lucia teased him playfully.

"You're not just any guest," Lauren replied with a slight smile before getting up and leaving the room.

Lucia's expression grew even more amused as she watched him leave.

Lauren never knocked when entering Eve's room; he simply pushed open the door without hesitation only seeing Nia holding onto Eve's hand talking about something while Eve looked troubled. "What are y'all talking about?" Lauren asked nonchalantly upon entering the room.
