She Is A CEO

Chapter 1104 Warm Breath

"Ms. Webb," Kane will maintain respect for Lucia's status as president in front of his subordinates. "Is there any problem with Director Lee's report just now?"

"Huh?" Lucia just came back to her senses, and a dazed expression rarely appeared on her delicate face. Even if she was like this, no one would blame her. Kane smiled, and whispered to Lucia,

"You were distracted just now. If you have something to do, forget it, and I will support you."

Lucia also knew that her current state was not suitable for work anymore, so she nodded gratefully to Kane, got up and left the meeting room. Seeing the high-level executives staring at Lucia's leaving figure one by one, Kane coughed heavily, drawing everyone's attention all back to work.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

Lucia went all the way back to the office with a lot of thoughts, but she didn't expect to bump into a warm chest as soon as she opened the door. She was stunned for a moment, then raised her head in surprise.

"Arthur?"

Arthur's eyes were gentle, but his brows were slightly frowned. Just now he got up and walked to the door when he heard footsteps, but he didn't expect to see Lucia walking over with her head down, and she didn't even notice that he was standing at the door.

"Why do you look so preoccupied?"

"Hmm..." Lucia made a low, unintelligible voice, buried herself in Arthur's arms without hesitation, and even rubbed herself a few times, looking like a cat.

Arthur's eyes became softer. He put his arms around Lucia and brought her back to the sofa, stroked her hair and asked,

"You're so depressed because of Casper?"

Originally, Arthur rushed over when he heard the news, but he didn't expect that Lucia was already in a meeting, but judging by the time, the meeting should not be over. If she wasn't restless, she wouldn't have left work early.

"You know?" Lucia's voice sounded aggrieved.

"Didn't you insist on saving Nia?" Arthur pinched Lucia's cheek and asked her.

Lucia felt even more aggrieved immediately. Her starry eyes darkened instantly. Arthur's heart twitched, and he cursed himself for shooting himself in the foot, because his woman had to be coaxed by himself. "From the beginning, I knew that he would pester you because of this matter. Now that this has happened, let's face it calmly."

Lucia said in Arthur's arms in a muffled voice,

"I thought I could handle it calmly, but... he's the one who killed Poppy, and he's still pretending to be someone else. I know it's him, but I can't expose him. He just stands in front of me so relaxed, as if he's innocent! You don't know, every second I look at him, I want to take care of him myself!"

Lucia's voice grew more and more agitated as she spoke. By the end of her speech, she had unconsciously grabbed Arthur's clothes with both hands.

Arthur let out a soft sigh. He knew Lucia would react this way. His previous objections were not just because of jealousy; they were also because he didn't want Lucia to bear this kind of suffocating emotion. "Okay," Arthur said gently as his thumb lightly rubbed Lucia's cheek with a tender force. "Don't let him disturb your emotions. If we want to successfully catch him in our trap without revealing any flaws, we can't afford any mistakes. If you really can't stand it anymore, just imagine the day when he stands trial."

Lucia listened to Arthur's low magnetic voice and gradually calmed down again while looking up at his gentle purple eyes; her mind had already automatically imagined that scene and felt much better. "Trust me," Arthur said confidently with conviction in his tone. "He won't escape with me here." The trap was already set up like a spider web; if he dared come back again himself, then there was no way that Arthur would allow another escape!

Lucia regained her composure after listening to these words from Arthur and buried herself once again into his embrace where she felt safe wrapped by his gentle breaths around her body while thinking how helpless she would be without him...

Two days later, everyone from Athegate's upper class circles received an invitation letter from Stand Hill, even Nia received one too.

That day Eve was also present at Nia's villa when Kevin brought back the invitation letter, which triggered Nia's anger, causing her throw it on the ground while shouting furiously, "Is Casper trying to humiliate me?!"

Everyone knew that Stable Growth had celebrated their success under Webbex Group protection before being acquired by them so what Casper did now was simply mocking Nia publicly!

Kevin silently picked up the invitation letter and sneered, "He wants to use Lucia for whitewashing himself; this method is quite clever."

"Lucia is going too?!" Nia couldn't control her anger upon hearing this news.

"That seems like what we heard," Kevin replied coldly. "And the location is..."

"The location?" As soon as Nia heard these words, she immediately snatched back the invitation letter from Kevin only then did she realize... "He actually dares!"

The location specified on the invitation was none other than the Dekee Hotel, and it was in the very hall where her banquet would be held!

"Casper's intentions are obvious," Kevin usually calmed Nia down, but today he kept inciting her. "He wants everyone to know that Lucia is now on his side, and then he will try to alienate us from others." Nia clenched her fists in anger, her shoulders shaking uncontrollably. She suddenly turned to Eve who had been sitting silently on the couch all this time, "Eve! Is Mr. Osade really helping us or not?! It's been almost a month since he promised to help us get rid of Casper, but Casper is still alive and well! He hasn't suffered any consequences at all!"

Kevin also looked at Eve. This was exactly why he had incited Nia.

Eve furrowed her brows and looked around nervously before answering softly, "Since Lauren promised... he should..."

"Then why is Casper so arrogant?!" Nia pressed.

Eve felt helpless. How could she answer that? She didn't dare ask Lauren either.

Kevin saw Eve's dilemma but still said calmly, "Eve, I think you need to urge him a bit more. You've seen how hostile Casper has become towards us; he wants nothing more than to push your sister into a corner every day by opposing us with everything he has got left after losing Stable Growth. We can't let this go on any longer."

Eve twisted her eyebrows into knots; how could she ask if there were plans for getting rid of Casper? To Eve, it went against moral principles.

"Eve?" Nia sounded doubtful as she spoke again. "Are you really helping me sincerely? If not, just say so. I won't force you!"

Nia's words were shameless beyond measure; everything she did up until now had been forcing Eve one way or another!
