She Is A Ceo Novel By George Chapman -Chapter 498

As he made his way to the couch, Eduard worried that a loud noise might hurt Arthur. He sat down on the couch and looked at Arthur with worry in his eyes.

No matter how many conciliative words they had, it was all useless.

Eduard had always been confident of his eloquence, but he could not offer Arthur a single word of comfort.

Just as everyone else was choosing to guard Arthur with companionship, Lola, who knew nothing, walked into the living room. Upstairs, she heard a voice telling her that Arthur was back, but she was puzzled by the reaction of the others, so she decided to observe in secret. But everyone just stared at Arthur silently, and she finally can hardly retain her composure.

“Arthur, what’s going on?” Lola asked Arthur, squatting down in front of Arthur despite being stared at by Juliana.

“Arthur isn’t feeling well right now. Can you go back to your room?!” Juliana was furious. She had been hinting at Lola to stay out of it, but the woman had ignored her warning.

“How can I leave Arthur like this!” Lola turned around and talked back angrily. “You can care about him! Can’t I?!”

Juliana was at a loss for words.

Seeing that Juliana was silent, Lola looked back, put her hand gently on the back of Arthur’s hand, and asked him in a soft voice,

“Arthur, if there’s anything you want to tell me, I’ll listen…”

Lola’s concerned movements and her soft voice tried to convince Arthur to let him guard down, the way she always did when interrogating a suspect. Even the most stubborn people would be touched, but Arthur wouldn’t budge. It was as if he hadn’t heard her voice.

Lola didn’t give up and wanted to speak again, but then Juliana said, “Can’t you see that Arthur won’t talk to you?”

Juliana found Lola’s hand on the back of Arthur’s hand, which was an eyesore for her!

Lola bit her lip and was so mad. Can’t Juliana be quiet?!

“The only reason I know Arthur is like this is because of that person,” Lola said coldly, not naming Lucia directly because she knew the name would contradict Arthur.

“All of you here are connected to that person. Being around Arthur at this moment will only increase his pressure. I’m the only outsider. I want to help him. Do you know that?!”

Lola had a point. Juliana couldn’t refute it for a moment, and Otis spoke up,

“If you can find a way to talk some sense into Arthur, I’m counting on you.”

After all, she was a psychological counselor, and to Arthur, Otis believed that she had a way to ease Arthur’s feeling a little.

“Otis!” Juliana was not pleased.

“Alright, let’s back off first.” Otis stood up and gave the others a look. His majesty was undeniable. Even Eduard also stood up, which meant that he had acquiesced. Juliana could only reluctantly stand up when she saw the situation. Helena pulled her away to another room.

As soon as she walked into the side hall, Juliana didn’t forget to turn around to check on Arthur’s condition. She complained, “Otis, you knew that Lola had feelings for Arthur, yet you let them be alone together. Isn’t this giving Lola a chance?”

Otis sat down and explained to her,

“If there are someone else, I wouldn’t have chosen Lola. But Arthur’s situation is special right now. He needs to be treated gently, and it has to be sincere. It can’t be fake. Besides, Lola is right. Every one of us is connected to Lucia. Even if he only takes a look at us, Arthur would think of Lucia. We are not suitable candidates to comfort him. Only Lola is suitable.”

“But a person’s psychological defenses are weakest when they’re injured, and what if Arthur…” Juliana frowned and worried.

“You can rest assured of that,” Otis said with a gentle smile that was hard to see on his face,

“Arthur to Lucia… maybe for the rest of their life.”

Juliana furrowed her brows suspiciously. Otis’s words seemed to reveal some kind of ambiguous message, but when she wanted to ask again, she saw Otis look down This was a move that he would not say more. Juliana had to shut up and sit back.

Seeing that Juliana had calmed down, Eduard whispered to Otis, “Otis, do you know something?”

Otis shook his head. “I just know my brother,” he whispered

Eduard stares into Otis’s eyes for a moment, then nodded, concealing his suspicions.

He always felt that Otis was hiding something from everyone.

On the other hand, Lola was actively communicating with Arthur. Her hand that was caressing the back of his hand. Then she directly held his hand. She gently massaged it to remind him of her existence. She was also asking him,

“Arthur, it’s just you and me now. If you have something that you can’t get rid of, you can tell me. I won’t analyze what happened from anyone’s standpoint. I’ll just be a quiet listener.”

“A listener?” Arthur finally made a move. He slowly raised his head and said with self-deprecating banter,

“You can hear, but you don’t understand…”

He finally responded, and Lola clung to Arthur’s hand as if inspired, pleading in her voice,

“Arthur, tell Me. I wish I could understand you. I wish I could heal you. I really don’t want to see you like this.”

“Really?” Arthur sighed with a wry laugh, but he could not help wishing that Lucia said all this.

In the throes of pain, people would try to find ways to escape or vent. When he looked up and saw the genuine concern in Lola’s eyes, Arthur’s heart felt as if it had been ripped open. He suddenly leaned forward and whispered,

“You don’t have to heal me, just… Let me lean on it for a while.”

From the tip of her nose came the scent of a man that she had been longing for a long time. Lola’s heart was pounding. She did not even dare to hug Arthur. She was afraid that her dream would be shattered if she touched him, so she let him lean on her like this, listening to his breathing.

Standing in the hallway doorway, Juliana stomped her feet. She turned to Otis and said,

“Otis! Look at Lola!”
