She Is A CEO

Chapter 1114 Reminder

As they were chatting, the elevator had already arrived downstairs. Lucia and Juliana said their goodbyes, and even Eve whispered a small goodbye. Juliana patted Lauren's shoulder with a serious expression.

"Be good to her."

Lauren couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time. Kane glanced over and grabbed her wrist, pulling her hand back.

"Don't touch others randomly," he muttered.

Juliana sweetly smiled and kissed Kane on the chin with a loud smack. "I know," she replied. In return, she received an indulgent look from Kane who expressed his emotions as subtly as water flowing steadily.

Eve blushed while watching their intimate display of affection. She felt a sweet sensation in her heart after witnessing so many different ways couples interacted today; they all looked at each other with such soft eyes was that how Lauren looked at her too?

Thinking this way, Eve lifted her head to glance at Lauren only to see herself reflected in those eyes - it was love at first sight.

Juliana drove off with Kane while Arthur handed Lucia the car key reminding her,

"Drive slowly."

Lucia had been driving by herself for quite some time now but Arthur would always remind her like this every single time.

"I know," Lucia replied with a smile before inviting Lauren and Eve into the car.

Once inside, they turned on the air conditioning unit waiting for it to warm up before Arthur helped Lucia take off her coat so that she could fasten up comfortably without any discomforts caused by seat belts rubbing against clothing material.

Sitting in the backseat next to Lauren made it difficult for Eve not to stare intently at how well Lucia and Arthur got along together compared to all other couples around them. There seemed to be an unspoken power dynamic between men and women when interacting where one party would always be stronger than another - like how she depended on Lauren whereas Lucian relied entirely on Arthur instead of being weak or submissive towards him. That made her feel like they needed each other equally much instead of one being more dominant than another

In short, Eve envied Lucia's relationship dynamics very much indeed!

"What's wrong?" Seeing that Eve appeared somewhat dejected, Lauren held onto their hands asking, "Are you still feeling cold?"

"Cold? Let me turn up the temperature." As soon as Lucia heard what was going on behind her, she immediately adjusted things accordingly.

"It's not that," said Eve shaking head quickly, unable to explain why she felt inferior deep down inside herself but then added casually, "It's already warm enough."

Lucia gave Eve suspicious glances then decided turning up temperature slightly higher just in case anyway before continuing driving forward slowly towards their destination. Arthur sat beside and kept Lucia's coat neatly folded across his lap, making sure no wrinkles formed during transit.

Lucia drove carefully. With four people in the car, however, everyone was silent for some reason. Eve sat quietly with her head down while Lauren tried to guess why her mood suddenly dropped.

"Lauren," Arthur suddenly asked when neon lights passed by the car window, "when do you plan on going back?"

"I don't know yet." Lauren's answer was straightforward but lacked substance.

"You've been here for over five months now, right?" Arthur didn't seem to care about his response and continued asking questions.

"Yes, over five months." As he spoke, Lauren felt Eve's small hand move in his.

"If you don't go back for almost half a year, is your dad really okay with it?" Arthur turned his head and smiled at Lauren.

"He doesn't have a choice. I'm already here anyway." Lauren was used to being reckless and carefree.

"What are you going to do when it's time to go back?" Arthur glanced at Eve as if he had something important he needed to remind her of as a friend.

This time around, Lauren remained silent and turned towards the window instead. He didn't look at Eve; perhaps he didn't want to see her conflicted expression either.

Eve had been listening silently while looking down all this time. Although she may not have understood everything clearly due to being naive, she still knew what Arthur meant: there would come a day when Lauren would return home - what about herself?

Thinking of this made her turn towards him quietly only to find that he too was looking out the window. Under the flashing lights passing by outside, their faces looked unreal which made an empty feeling surge up inside of Eve's heart - luckily his hand still held hers tightly.

Lucia wanted desperately to turn around and see what expressions were on both Eve's and Lauren's face but since she was driving, she couldn't risk doing so.

Arthur's reminder wasn't unreasonable - things that came naturally for Lauren might not be so obvious for others like Eve who was less experienced or worldly-wise than him.

So after they arrived outside Dekee Hotel, Lucia got out of the car specifically just to send off Eve and Lauren before leaving them alone together again. While they talked, Lucia leaned in close toward Eve whispering,

"Eve, you should think about your future too. Are you sure your love for Laurent is strong enough? Are you willing follow him wherever life takes him?"

Eve looked into Lucia's sparkling eyes but found no answers there - only confusion within herself.

After saying goodbye and sending off Lauren and Eve, Arthur quickly helped Lucia into driver seat, making sure she wouldn't catch cold before sitting next beside her himself. Once seated behind wheel, Lucie grinned mischievously at Arthur.

"What's wrong?" Arthur pretended not to know what Lucia was laughing about.

"I thought you wouldn't consider such detailed issues, but it turns out..." Lucia's lips curled up even more mischievously as she spoke.

"He's my friend, and I know he has to go back to Mexico. Eve should be aware of this and not take his affection for granted, leaving all the problems for him to deal with himself." Arthur spoke sensibly. "That's true..." Lucia murmured softly. "Lauren is too domineering. I hope Eve can be mentally prepared."

She could be sure that Lauren would do anything to take Eve away, depending on whether Eve had the courage to face it or not.

"If she loves deeply, she will naturally follow him," Arthur reached out and used his thumb to stroke Lucia's delicate chin as he smiled. "Just like me. Wherever you go, I'll go."

There were few people who can resist Arthur's deep confession of love. The damn male hormones spread wildly and made her heart beat faster.

Lucia smiled sweetly and said, "Then come home with me."RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

Through wind and rain, Lucia brought her beloved man all the way home.

Since the celebration banquet was held, Casper had expected his business would soar higher than ever before but instead did not experience it. The appeal of Webbex Group seemed less strong now; that press conference and celebration banquet slowly faded away in people's minds without causing much stir or excitement anymore.
