She Is A CEO

Chapter 1066 One Thing Suppresses Another

Upon hearing this, Eve blushed again and had no way to refute it.

Lucia and Arthur observed the relationship between Eve and Lauren with both relief and concern. Was Eve, who was so innocent, really suitable for Lauren, who came from a complicated background? Afterwards, the four of them didn't mention Nia again. Instead they chatted like friends.

Eve was amazed by Lucia's eloquence. She spoke gently with a kind gaze that made people want to get closer to her. Thinking of Daphne's praise for her made Eve admire Lucia even more. It would be great if her sister were like her...

Two hours later, Lauren finally left with Eve in tow. Although Lucia originally intended to have lunch together with them, their relationship was still in secret so they all understood why it wasn't necessary. Exiting Webbex Group left Eve feeling exceptionally happy as she held hands with Lauren while occasionally glancing at him sideways with a smile on her face.

"What are you laughing about?" Lauren noticed her small movements and asked while smiling.

"I heard so much about your past today and felt very happy," said Eve grinning as she looked up at him.

"You never mentioned any of those things before," she added.

Lauren pinched Eve's hand after listening, then said apologetically, "Before I couldn't reveal my relationship with Arthur because of your sister's connection... and besides my identity is quite complicated, some things might scare you if I told you too early."

Identity?

Eve's smile slightly faltered for a moment when he mentioned his identity. To be honest, until now she had never thought about what Lauren did or how wealthy his family was or why he came to Athegate - always being cautious not to touch upon his privacy since getting close emotionally took effort on her part, which made him precious in her eyes.

But then again... she liked him just the way he was regardless of his status.

Thinking this over caused another wave of smiles on Eva's face, making Lauren curious since he had been observing every expression on hers. "Why don't you just ask me directly about my identity? If you ask me, I will definitely tell you."

Eve shook her head but continued smiling sweetly, "I like you regardless of your status, so unless it's necessary, there's no need for you tell me...of course," she added playfully showing off an impish expression,

"I am also curious."

What a silly girl!

Eve's innocence and liking moved Lauren. She never concealed her heart. Lauren would not care about the constant pedestrians on the street. He hugged Eve with his long arms and said softly, "Don't worry. I will tell you."

... after dealing with your sister.

Eve buried her head softly in Lauren's arms, smelling the incomparably alluring masculine fragrance on his body, smiling constantly and blissfully.

In the Webbex Group CEO's office, Lucia was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows at this moment. Although she was far away from them, she could vaguely distinguish Eve and Lauren who were embracing each other regardless of others. She couldn't help but look up at Arthur who was embracing her, explaining,

"I see that Miss Davidson has already become suspicious of her sister. It's not in vain that I have reminded her so many times."

With his arm around Lucia's slender waist, Arthur smirked and said, "Lucia, you're kind-hearted. If it were me, I would just show her all the things Nia has done and make her see the true face of her sister. That way, Lauren wouldn't have to be so conflicted."

Lucia immediately reached out and pinched Arthur's hand back when she heard his words, causing him to groan in pain. She then smiled contentedly.

"Your approach is only suitable for the business world. You can't be so blunt when dealing with friends."

Arthur was at a loss, feeling as though he had been forced to stand on the side of cruelty. His hand was also pinched, and he tightened his punishing grip around Lucia's waist. He leaned in close to her ear and exhaled warm breaths.

"I didn't do anything, did I? Lucia, why are you blaming me for no reason?"

Arthur's revenge was really naive. Lucia was a little stagnant by his embrace, and the tips of her ears were even reddened by his teasing.

However, she had a lot of ways to counter this strong man, and Lucia turned to face him as soon as she breathed with a charming smile on her face. And her starry eyes were sparkling even more, immediately seducing Arthur.

Before leaning over to grab those pink lips, Arthur even sighed, "You... are really my nemesis."

Since Nia returned to Stable Growth, she had been using every means possible to confront StandHill. The opposition between the two companies had reached a fever pitch, and whenever it came to each other's business and commercial activities, they will interfere with each other even if they cannot sabotage them.

This malicious competition had caused resentment among industry insiders, especially for those small companies that were weak and vulnerable, fearing that they may fall victim to this cut-throat rivalry. Casper was feeling down, and his subordinates, including Leon, were the ones who bore the brunt of his frustration. They were getting yelled at almost every day and some of them had started to complain. In their apartment complex, someone finally spoke up about Casper's cruelty.

"Lately, our boss has been so moody," one subordinate said while rubbing his forehead in remembrance. "I accidentally grabbed the wrong file today and he nearly smashed my head with a cup!"

"We followed him all the way from USA to Mexico and back again," another subordinate chimed in with a disappointed tone. "We thought we would have endless riches and glory but now everyone is living in fear... Leon, say something."

"What are you guys talking about?" Leon snapped back as he stood up to address everyone else. "Our boss is upset because of Nia and Kevin - those two jerks! We're just his subordinates. It's not like we haven't experienced some hardship before. Have you forgotten who provides for us? Who do we turn to when things get tough?"

The other subordinates hung their heads low after hearing Leon's words.

Sage also stood up at this point to support Leon's argument, "If it weren't for our boss bringing us together like this, we'd still be small-time crooks in USA struggling just to survive! We should be sharing his burden instead of complaining behind his back!"Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
