She Is A Ceo Novel By George Chapman -Chapter 221

After Lucia looked at Arthur for less than a second, she looked away, afraid to see the unconcealed affection in Arthur’s eyes, which would only make her crave him more.

Looking at Lucia, Arthur felt heartbroken. Just when he wanted to say something else, Spencer’s voice came from behind him.

“Arthur, are you still here?”

Spencer did it on purpose.

Arthur paused, but he finally let go of Lucia, turned to face Spencer, and said in a cold voice, “You are here too, aren’t you?”

“Lucia and I are gonna have dinner and I’m waiting for her,” Spencer said with a smile, staring at Lucia.

Arthur turned to look at Lucia with a questioning gaze. Lucia lowered her eyes and thought for a moment. When she raised her head, her eyes were clear and she nodded to him.

“I told you not to get too close to him.” Arthur’s subdued voice said.

“We’re over, aren’t we?” With a stubborn look in her eyes, Lucia glanced at Arthur and walked over to Spencer. She was afraid that she could not hold back her tears if she stayed one more second.

Arthur turned around and watched Lucia walk up to Spencer, who gently put his arm around Lucia’s waist as if he was announcing Lucia was his. And Lucia didn’t resist it.

The elevator came and Lucia whispered to Spencer, “Let’s go.”

Spencer nodded and led Lucia into the elevator. Seeing Arthur standing frozen in front of the stairs, he smiled and said as the doors were about to close.

“Arthur, you should go home early too, Julia and the baby are still waiting for you at home, aren’t they?”

Arthur flared up because of Spencer’s words, but the elevator doors had been closed before he rushed over. Arthur could only slam his fist on the elevator button, gritted his teeth, and said, “Lucia, why!”

The elevator was slowly descending, and the moment the doors closed, Lucia said coldly, “Can you let go now?”

Spencer laughed and withdrew his hand, teasing, “Lucia, I was helping you out of the situation.”

“Helping me?” Lucia looked sideways at Spencer and nailed his lie, “You’re just trying to provoke Arthur, aren’t you?”

“He’s my cousin. Why would I do that to him.” Spencer denied it.

“You know it yourself,” Lucia said softly, turned around, and ignored Spencer.

Spencer laughed and said to Lucia, “Lucia, you’re really fickle.”

Lucia did not say anything. Clearly, she did not want to talk to Spencer, who looked very friendly but actually had a lot of intrigues. Lucia didn’t bother to deal with him. She replied to him just now because she didn’t want to be on a breakdown in front of Arthur.

Lucia’s indifference didn’t annoy Spencer. The more efforts he made to get Lucia, the more fulfilling it would be. He just cheekily continued, “Lucia, it’s almost dinner time. Let’s have dinner.”

Lucia turned her head and rolled her eyes at Spencer with undisguised dislike in her eyes.

Spencer was amused by Lucia’s childish move. He felt that she was so lovable though he had been refused by her.

He couldn’t help but laugh out loud and said, “Lucia, you’ll make me like you even more.”

Lucia smiled, and stared at Spencer but did not say anything. She just felt he was too cheeky. Luckily, the elevator doors opened, or Lucia might have given him a slap on his face.

Without hesitation, Lucia headed out. Spencer followed behind, but Lucia did not wait for him at all. Once she got out of the building, she hailed a cab and left, so Spencer did not have the opportunity to give Lucia a ride.

Staring after the cab, Spencer felt helpless, yet uncontrollably attracted to Lucia’s indifference.

Shaking his head and smiling, Spencer left.

At the door, Arthur watched from afar as Spencer left alone, and the anger that had risen just then dissipated. It turned out Lucia did not really want to have intimate contact with Spencer. But when he thought that Lucia did that to avoid him, he felt more displeased.

Since Juliana was not in Athegate, he would not be kept track of by Juliana. Even so, he was still afraid to go to Lucia.

Sophie read Arthur’s thoughts. When she was thinking about if she should help to make the relationship between Arthur and Lucia work, Lucia unexpectedly contacted her.

It happened to be Sunday. Lucia came to the park near Fragranerde Hall to wait for Sophie. They made an appointment on the phone. Arthur did not know it. Sophie decided not to tell Arthur about it, for fear that Arthur could not refrain from running to Sophie. It would be bad if Lucia was scared away.

At the appointed time, Sophie met Lucia in the park. They had not seen each other for a long time, so they could easily notice the changes in each other, Sophie felt heartbroken when she saw Lucia’s thinner body. ‘Lucia must have lost a lot of weight…’

“Lucia, you’ve lost a lot of weight…” said Sophie as she came to sit next to Lucia.

“Sophie…” Mixed feelings surged through her when Sophie, who cared for her so much, showed concern for her.

Sophie took Lucia’s hand and asked her softly, “Lucia, can I do anything for you?”

“Yes …” Lucia responded with a frown, not knowing how to say it.

Knowing Lucia was in a dilemma, Sophie patted the back of her hand and said lovingly, “Feel free to ask me for help, okay? I’ll make it happen by all means.”

Sophie did not forget her promise to Lucia, and she repeated her promise to Lucia, who no longer hesitated and said directly, “I’d like to take up a week of Arthur’s time.”

“Huh?” She thought Lucia encountered something difficult, so Sophie promised her very solemnly. But her request didn’t seem to be hard to satisfy.

Seeing the bewilderment in Sophie’s eyes, Lucia blushed and explained.

“Teddy said he missed his dad, and I hadn’t explained what happened between us to him, so … I impulsively promised him that I would go to see him with Arthur. Sophie, I know it’s hard for you, but…”

Sophie interrupted Lucia before she could finish, “It’s not hard for me! I can make it for you. If you want, you can take up all his time”

Sophie thought to herself, ‘Lucia is so lovely.’
