She Is A CEO

Chapter 1083 Unexpected Visitor

"This period of time, I have caused you a lot of trouble. I feel guilty," Kevin spoke insincerely, smiling at Eve. "Especially the Casper incident, Eve, I really appreciate you helping us persuade Mr. Osade to help. If it weren't for that, your sister and I wouldn't be able to walk among the crowd so openly. We're afraid we'd be caught by Casper again with just a slight mistake."

Nia couldn't help but admire Kevin's cunning mind as he could make Eve more determined with just a few words. It was evident from her expression.

"As long as... my sister and you are safe," Eve lowered her gaze slightly and responded softly.

Kevin and Nia exchanged a smile that revealed their similar deviousness.

After seeing Kevin out of the hospital, they had to return to their villa. Sensing their intimacy, Eve tactfully declined joining them as she didn't want to be a third wheel. Despite their insistence on sending her back to the hotel safely, she stood in front of the hospital for some time before taking a taxi straight to Webbex Group building.

Entering this magnificent building once again made Eve feel uneasy as she stood in the hallway, watching people come and go. But she lacked courage to approach receptionist desk, requesting an audience with Lucia.

Almost half an hour passed, Lucia walked out of an elevator accompanied by Kane followed by several assistants who seemed ready for departure. After passing through lobby, Lucia noticed Eve standing in the hallway from corner of her eye.

It wasn't because Lucia liked looking around while walking, but rather because Eve looked too conspicuous here like a child suddenly entering into adult world with innocent aura not fitting here at all. She was constantly looking around helplessly and was unaware that everyone passing by would steal glances at her curiously, trying figure out what brought such innocence there?

"Kane," Lucia smiled mischievously, stopping him in his tracks and saying. "You can go alone today; apologize on my behalf to Mr. Doyle."This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

"What happened?" Kane didn't understand why Lucia suddenly changed her mind until he saw Lucia pointing towards where little lost rabbit was standing. He smilingly realized what was going on then left along with his subordinates following him outside. Lucia approached towards Eve who still kept peeking over the door without noticing Lucia coming straight towards her.

"Eve, you came to see me?" Lucia greeted Eve unexpectedly, and as expected, saw Eve jump in surprise and her face turn red.

"Uh, yeah... I came to see you." Eve was easily embarrassed.

"Follow me." Lucia nodded and glanced at Eve before leading the way to the elevator. Hearing footsteps behind her, she knew that Eve had followed.

As the elevator rose slowly, the noisy atmosphere outside was cut off. Eve became even more restrained. Her hands unconsciously fidgeted together. Lucia found it amusing and wondered if they would knot up if she kept fidgeting with them.

The elevator slowly ascended, and the silent atmosphere made Eve very uncomfortable, but just as she raised her head to glance at Lucia, she quickly lowered her head again, her heart beating for no reason. If it weren't for her current condition, perhaps Lucia would be the type of person that Eve most wanted to become like.

Today's Lucia wore a white suit with black high heels on her feet. Her tall figure was evident at a glance. Her waist-length black hair was simply tied into a ponytail which made her look competent and capable. However, there were a few strands of hair hanging down from her earlobe which added a touch of charm to an already stunning face that didn't need any makeup or adornment whatsoever. Just natural beauty coupled with bright sparkling eyes that could captivate not only men but also women alike.

Now even Eve's uncontrollable heartbeat confirmed this point.

Lucia noticed how red-faced Eve had become and couldn't help teasing her by asking, "What? You get shy when you see me too?"

Eve felt like she couldn't breathe properly as all she could smell was the faint fragrance emanating from Lucia's body.

Lucia smiled mischievously as she found it really amusing how shyly cute Eva looked now.

Just when Eva felt like she was about to suffocate from nervousness or excitement, the elevator opened timely revealing they had arrived at their destination - Lucia's office floor.

Lucia let go of Eva then invited her into her office without hesitation while Eve breathed out heavily feeling somewhat hesitant whether or not to follow her inside.

"Come on," seeing that Eva hadn't followed yet, Lucia smiled lightly before saying invitingly in such an affable tone, which always seemed so welcoming no matter what mood one might be in. This was making Eva feel like someone just cast some kind of spell over herself causing all resistance within herself disappear instantly.

Once inside Lucia's office space, Gracie served tea again just like last time hoping this warm cuppa will bring back some good memories for poor nervous little Eve who finally began relaxing after taking several sips.

Sitting across from Eve, holding her tea cup, Lucia stared at her for a few seconds. She knew that if she didn't speak up, Eve might remain silent forever. So she had to guide her.

"Eve, what brings you here?" Lucia asked.

Lauren probably didn't know that Eve was here.

"I..." As expected, hearing Lucia's question made Eve move her lips. But it took a long time for her to finish speaking, "I want to apologize to you."

"Apologize?" There was laughter in Lucia's voice. "Why?"

"I said before that I would never help my sister... but I broke my promise." Eve slowly spoke of the guilt in her heart. The warm tea she had just drunk couldn't warm the guilt inside of her.

"That was your own choice and there's no need to apologize to anyone," Lucia smiled lightly and didn't mind it. She knew Nia's scheming ways and it was only a matter of time before someone as innocent as Eve got swayed by Nia's trustworthiness.

"But..." Suddenly raising her head, Eve couldn't be as straightforward as Lucia had suggested.

"There is nothing 'but'," the smile on Lucia's face slowly faded away and a hint of seriousness appeared in those starry eyes. "Once you make your choice, you have to walk down that path without regrets even if you know it's wrong. Lauren has already taken action now. Spilled water can't be gathered again."

Eve tightly held onto the cup with both hands. Lucia's words made her very sad but all she could say was, "She is my sister..."

"I'm an only child so I may not understand the kind of sibling bond between sisters," said Lucia glancing at Eva who looked lost. "But indulgence has its limits."
