She Is A CEO

Chapter 1116 Request Denied

Casper turned around abruptly, his expression management ability lost control in an instant, and he was indeed a little frightened.

Lucia was still leaning against the wall, crossing her arms and looking at Casper coldly.

"Tell me, why are you looking for me?"

When Casper came to his senses, his first reaction was to put away the surprise on his face, not wanting to lose face in front of Lucia, so he didn't answer her immediately.

"You don't want to say it?" Lucia's patience was not much.

"Ms. Webb, you must be joking. But I do have something to ask you." Casper stabilized his mind, and finally he was able to speak smoothly.

"Say it." Lucia frowned slightly, and her patience was draining at a predictable speed.

"Ms. Webb, you should still remember our agreement?" Casper casually took a step closer to Lucia, stared at her exquisite face and said in a low-key voice. But she didn't know that she was used to Arthur's elegant and low magnetic voice, and Casper's damaged voice was really unbearable.

Without avoiding it, Lucia looked directly into Casper's eyes, without any expression on her face, and said,

"Yes, so what's your dissatisfaction?"

"I don't dare," Casper hooked the corners of his lips, "It's just that Nia and Kevin are getting more and more presumptuous, and we have lost the original balance. There have always been constant fights between me and them, and Ms. Webb, it can't be avoided. Although this time you choose to cooperate with me, it seems that you have not fulfilled your obligations as a partner."

"Obligation?" Lucia sneered, "Which point did I fail to fulfill the conditions you raised?"

"Ms. Webb, you have indeed done it, but you're in a passive stance. Let me tell you clearly, I hope you can give StandHill support and help me suppress Fabulous Dav's financially." Casper didn't want to beat around the bush anymore, he couldn't count on Lucia at all but take the initiative to analyze his own wishes.

"Mr. Wood," Lucia's eyes flickered. She stared at Casper faintly and snorted,

"At the meeting just now, we advocated that we young entrepreneurs should cooperate sincerely to bring Athegate's economy to a new milestone. You suddenly mentioned economic sanctions in front of me? The union has been silently monitoring the various businesses in the city. The struggle between enterprises, once this kind of vicious competition starts, will never end, and when the time comes to disrupt Athegate's market, will you be responsible or I will be responsible for the union's accountability?"

Before Casper could speak, Lucia added, "What's more, I never want to pay attention to the conflicts among you."

Casper frowned and said immediately,Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

"If you don't want to get involved, why bother helping Nia escape?"

"I have my reasons for helping her. I'm not obligated to explain anything to you, but one thing I can tell you for sure is that if you have the ability and power, go ahead and crush Nia. If you think I'll step in, it's impossible!"

As Lucia spoke, she no longer suppressed the anger in her eyes. The reason why she and Arthur could rely on each other was because Lucia was never a weak woman. Her pride, resilience and strength were enough to match Arthur's. So when Lucia unleashed all of her aura at once, it was just as oppressive as Arthur's presence; she just preferred to hide it herself.

Casper looked at Lucia who exuded an unrestrained aura before him. Others might be intimidated by her but for him, this woman had been a treasure he could easily obtain but discarded.

Without realizing it himself, his eyes betrayed emotions belonging only to Jacob, which Lucia noticed making her feel sick.

That year she received the most beautiful cherry blossoms bouquet; after that day she never loved it again.

A chill crept up into her pupils as Lucia spoke coldly,

"Don't look at me like that, Casper. There are some boundaries that should be clear in your own mind without me having to remind you."

Lucia's words instantly woke Casper up from his reverie as he examined Lucia's expression carefully only then did he realize apart from anger, there were no other emotions present, which made him relax slowly with relief.

That was close...

"Sorry if I came on too strong, Ms. Webb, but surely you must know how beautiful you are? It's only natural for me or anyone else to be attracted." Casper shamelessly said.

Lucia didn't respond instead turned away coldly saying,

"I won't interfere anymore between Nia and you. I will attend Stand Hill shareholder meeting but other than that I'm not interested. Goodbye."

Casper wanted nothing more than keeping company with Lucia even if it meant spending a few moments together. However, Lucia left without any hesitation or second thoughts, leaving Casper clenching his fists tightly.

"Someday... someday... you will fall into my hands!" Casper thought to himself.

Although carrying such an attitude of refusing defeat inside him yet, Casper still had no choice but face reality: Lucia would never ally herself with him while Nia's matter could only be solved by himself alone. Casper remained arrogant until now, refusing to acknowledge Nia's identity as an opponent and thinking of her merely as a small bug causing trouble for himself.

This kind of bug would eventually be crushed under his feet!

Disgusted, Casper spat and took a step forward to leave the room. But before he could take more than a few steps, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in the back of his neck. Before he could even cry out in pain, darkness enveloped him and he collapsed into unconsciousness.

Leon and Miles' men who were sent to protect Casper were still in the conference room at this time. They had wanted to follow him but Casper insisted on talking to Lucia alone, so Leon had no choice but to stay behind. But...

"It's been over forty minutes now. Why hasn't Mr. Wood come back yet?" Leon anxiously checked his watch several times as time passed by.

Finally, when everyone else had left and the minute hand on his watch had made a full circle, Leon couldn't wait any longer. He ordered everyone else to go out and search for Casper's whereabouts together but they couldn't find any trace of him even after searching through the entire building. It was only then that Leon remembered to call Casper.

When familiar ringing sounded from the phone, Leon was relieved that they found Casper! But then he immediately realized something was wrong - why was the sound coming from the atrium? He had already searched there himself just now!

A bad feeling rose up inside him as Leon quickly called out for others while running towards the atrium himself. However, when he arrived there, all that awaited him was an abandoned phone lying on ground with its ringtone still playing.

For a moment Leon panicked.

It was one of Miles' men who remained calm enough; taking charge immediately by calling Miles on their own phones while updating him about what happened.

Miles remained silent for some time until one of his subordinates shouted at him before finally speaking up, "Are you sure he is missing? Only thing left is just a cellphone?"
