She Is A CEO

Chapter 1073 Relieving the Mind

"Julia, did you receive a response regarding the medical records I gave you last time?"

"Yes, but there is no accurate answer yet," Juliana said over the phone. "The professor is very interested in Eve's condition, especially since her blood type is so unique. He's already working with his assistants and students to research treatment plans. I believe we'll have results soon."

"That's good news..." Lucia was still somewhat disappointed.

Hearing Lucia's disappointment, Juliana immediately asked, "Did something happen to Eve?"

"She hasn't had any issues, but Nia keeps pressuring us more and more while Lauren becomes increasingly troubled. If we can resolve her condition quickly, it would benefit everyone," Lucia worriedly said. "Okay then, I'll remind the professor again. I'm sure they will do their best," Juliana empathized.

Lucia was about to thank her when she heard a knock on the door followed by Kane walking in. She smiled slightly and deliberately eased the tension by saying to Kane,

"You two are telepathic! I am just talking to Julia."

"Really?" Kane smiled and walked over.

Juliana on the phone also said, "Kane came? You guys talk first; I'll hang up."

"Okay," Lucia replied before putting away her phone.

Kane walked over to Lucia and said,

"Casper somehow managed to bribe some of Nia's business partners recently; they're planning on joining forces with him to hold Stable Growth responsible for breach of contract soon. Should we intervene?"

If she hadn't received Lauren's call today, maybe Lucia wouldn't care much about it and say let them do whatever they want but now...

"Stable Growth now belongs under Webbex Group; just step in a bit so things don't escalate too much," she told Kane as she made up her mind after hearing Lauren's call earlier that day.

After hearing Lucia's decision-making process, Kane was surprised because he only reported Stable Growth's actions along with Stand Hill without expecting Lucia would actually decide that they should help out Stable Growth themselves.

"Lucia, what happened? This isn't your style," he asked curiously.

Lucia chuckled inwardly at herself - this really wasn't like her style - but it was something that needed doing.

"It's nothing; just go ahead with what you were going to do," she quietly denied his guesswork.

Kane looked at Lucia for a few seconds knowing full well that there must be some concern or hesitation behind this decision from Lucia, but didn't delve deeper into it before leaving for work.

That night after dinner, Lucia hesitated for a long time before telling Arthur about Lauren calling earlier today along with confessing everything else including giving orders towards helping out Stable Growth instead of delegating tasks elsewhere like usual.

Arthur picked up the remote control and turned off the financial news playing on the screen. He then turned to Lucia and said,

"No wonder you have no appetite tonight. It turns out something like this happened."

"To be honest, it's not just Lauren who is disappointed in Eve. I also feel very disappointed. I placed too much importance on her sense of justice and didn't expect her to succumb to Nia's instigation in the end," Lucia said, looking down with a hint of resentment towards Eve in her words.

"Lauren has a sense of proportion in doing things," Arthur wasn't so worried. He raised his hand and gently wiped Lucia's cheek, smiling lightly,

"He is just using delaying tactics."

"Are you sure?" Lucia lifted her gaze, and a faint glimmer appeared in her eyes.

"Sure, it's not difficult to solve Casper. Lauren just called you to mediate a bit." Arthur's smile deepened. His Lucia was extremely intelligent, but when faced with their greatest enemy Jacob, she couldn't help losing her cool judgment.

"You mean..." Lucia's eyes lit up completely this time.

"Right." Arthur nodded in affirmation.

"Arthur, I love you so much!" Lucia happily threw herself onto his shoulder and hugged him tightly, after Arthur had effortlessly solved the problem that had been bothering her all day with just a few words. She sweetly exclaimed her feelings for him.

Arthur hugged Lucia's soft waist, and all he could smell was the sweet fragrance of her body, and he couldn't help teasing her at the moment of emotion,

"Lucia, it's only eight o'clock now. Are you sure?"

As soon as Lucia heard this, her cheeks immediately turned red. She quickly withdrew from Arthur and glared at him.

"I'm not sure! Mr. Davies, be serious!"

Arthur smiled even more ambiguously, taking Lucia's hand and saying,

"Am I not serious? You rushed towards me yourself."

Lucia's face turned pink with anger, and she glared at Arthur with a coquettish pout, unable to come up with any retorts.

Arthur saw this and rubbed her head, laughing,

"Feeling better now? In the future, if there's anything bothering you, please tell me right away. Alicia put in so much effort to make delicious food for you. It's a shame if you don't appreciate it."

She just realized that she didn't eat much tonight and now that she was feeling better, she was actually a bit hungry. Lucia smiled at Arthur.

"Otherwise, shall I cook some porridge by myself? Do you want to eat together?"

As soon as Arthur heard that Lucia was going to cook, he immediately frowned and grabbed her hand seriously, saying,

"No, let me do it."

"I just want to make something for you to eat, even if it's not necessary," Arthur smiled obsequiously, but inside he was lamenting. Lucia really wasn't cut out for cooking, especially when it came to making porridge. After all, someone who could burn a pot every time was quite rare, let alone producing an edible final product.

Lucia couldn't help but laugh to herself. She knew full well that she was just seeking revenge on Arthur for teasing her, but she persisted in pretending to want to cook porridge. This caused Arthur to hold onto her tightly and the two of them playfully made their way into the kitchen. In the end, it was Arthur who did the cooking as Lucia didn't even want to eat porridge that she had cooked herself.

Half an hour later, Lucia was happily eating the fragrant mushroom and meat porridge, while Arthur watched her eat.Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

"Don't you want to have some?" Lucia, with a conscience, didn't forget to ask Arthur while enjoying the delicious food.

"I just ate. You can eat a little more," Arthur's gentleness had already seeped into his eyes.

Lucia smiled sweetly and no longer hesitated. She quickly devoured the pot of porridge as if a gust of wind had swept through, and after finishing it, she rubbed her satisfied belly. Her appearance was very much like a cat that had just been fed.

Seeing Lucia's satisfied expression, Arthur stood up with a meaningful smile and walked over to her, asking,

"Are you full?"

"I'm full." Lucia replied with a smile, unaware that she was about to become his meal.

Arthur nodded seriously, then bent over and hugged Lucia in the next second. The destination was very clear: the bedroom on the second floor!
