She Is A CEO

As soon as Eduard finished speaking, he was hit in the head with a pillow and scolded by Lucia.

"Mr. Burton! Is that how you propose? That's too casual!" The pillow fell to reveal Eduard's silly smile, and Lucia was right to remind him.

"Yeah, even after my son was born, Kane still had to kneel down and propose to me. Eduard, Daphne treats you with all her heart. Don't think that just because she has your child means you can be lazy?" Juliana chimed in.

Daphne knew everyone was teasing Eduard but she couldn't help feeling shy.

"Daphne, don't worry. I'll give you the most romantic proposal." Eduard held Daphne's hand solemnly.

Daphne blushed like an ostrich and wished she could hide her face.

That night everyone was overjoyed about this great news. Arthur even forced Eduard to open his most precious bottle of wine for celebration. They partied all night until it got late before leaving. When they arrived at the garage after Kane and Juliana left, Arthur didn't immediately take Lucia into the car but held her hand hesitantly without saying anything.

Lucia smiled; how could she not know what he was thinking?

"Arthur, when our baby grows up a bit more, let her be a flower girl along with Teddy at our wedding?" Lucia spoke softly into Arthur's ear; it turned out she knew what he wanted all along. Arthur hugged Lucia tightly while whispering,

"I'm willing to wait."

Lucia smiled gently in his arms; there was always peace here with him around.

Since their public falling out at the celebration banquet with Casper earlier on, Kevin brought some trusted confidants which made them no longer fear Casper's intimidation anymore. Living in this small villa now was only temporary until they used Lauren as leverage against Casper who should come looking for trouble again.

"It's so boring staying here every day," Nia complained despite being used to luxury. "Kevin, why don't we go out for a walk?"

"No," Kevin explained tactfully, "Although we're not afraid of Casper anymore, pretending like we are will make Lauren believe we have nowhere else to turn. That way Lauren won't be able to say no again if you ask Eve for something.."

"That may be true but it's really boring," Nia pouted playfully.

Kevin smiled and hugged her, saying, "It's boring, but safety is the top priority. Besides, I don't have time now. Although Stable Growth is handed over to Lucia, I still have to take care of the usual affairs. Just take care of your injuries."

Looking at Kevin, Nia couldn't help feeling,

"Fortunately, I met you. Otherwise I really don't know what to do."

Kevin's masculinity was satisfied, and he talked softly when hugging Nia. The two didn't know whether it was true affection or mutual use.

Nia was content with recovering from her injuries. Lauren naturally found it much comfortable without her, and he no longer had to listen to Eve's obsession with her sister when talking to Eve, but seeing Eve's spirit getting worse and worse, Lauren always had a doubt in his heart.

On this day, Eve's medicine was almost finished again, but before Lauren ordered Stoffer to buy it, Nia had already ordered someone to deliver the next month's medicine. Of course, Eve was very happy to receive the medicine, thinking that her sister was always thinking about her.

Seeing Eve's sweet and contented smiling face, Lauren didn't ask out the doubts in his heart. After she rested, he left her room by himself. Unexpectedly, he received a phone call just after he came out of her

room.

After listening to the call, Lauren took the elevator to the lobby alone, and saw Lucia sitting in the rest area beckoning to him from a distance.

Coming to sit next to Lucia, Lauren smiled and said,

"Lucia, is our relationship different from before?"

"How?" Lucia also smiled and asked Lauren.

"I thought you were very strange to me, but seeing you call me so naturally, it seems that I was wrong." Lauren deliberately teased.

"Strange?" Lucia chuckled, "There is an old saying that no discord, no concord. What's more, you and I have fought, so of course we won't be unfamiliar."

Lauren's eyes moved slightly. Looking at Lucia's delicate side face, he whispered,

"Last time I did too far..."

When she heard this, the corners of Lucia's mouth curled up even more. Her bright eyes sparkled, and she turned to Lauren and said,

"I really didn't expect that you would feel guilty until now. My injury has completely healed."

Lauren didn't say anything, but his gaze softened even more.

The conversation came to an abrupt end here. Lauren didn't answer, and Lucia didn't seem to feel embarrassed. She looked at the guests in the lobby with a smile, and was silent. Compared with endurance, Lauren seemed to be a little weaker. Five minutes later, he broke the silence with a low sigh,

"Lucia, you called me down here on purpose. It's not just to sit with me, right?"

"I thought you didn't want to ask," Lucia always wanted to tease Lauren whenever she saw him.

Lauren was speechless.

"The last time I saw you and Eve at the hospital, her face looked bad and she seemed even more tired than before. Is she okay?" Lucia knew how far to push before Lauren's expression became even more strange when talking about Eve.

"Are you asking out of concern or because of Nia?" Lauren stared at Lucia and asked.

"Of course it's because of Nia," Lucia shrugged nonchalantly and said, "whether or not you want to answer is up to you."

Lauren remained silent for a moment before saying, "Her health is getting worse every day. I don't understand where the problem lies since she takes her medicine on time every day as prescribed by the doctor but sometimes Nia..." He didn't mention what Nia did for Eve specifically but continued speaking, "she still gets weaker."

Lucia looked up at the dazzling crystal chandelier above them in the lobby and casually said, "Sometimes I wonder if Eve were healthy, would you be so willing to do what Nia asks of you?" "What does that mean?" Lauren immediately sensed that there was something else behind Lucia's words.

"You can figure out what it means yourself," Lucia slowly turned her head towards Lauren's eyes and spoke clearly, "I know better than anyone about how Nia's personality really is. When she worked as my assistant years ago, her personality wasn't twisted yet; she was simple-minded and honest back then, but even during that period of time, never once did she mention having a sister, which shows that their relationship isn't anything special now despite how close they seem."Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

She finished speaking then shifted her gaze away from him, leaving any remaining questions for him alone to ponder over.
