She Is A CEO

Chapter 1044 Teasing Each Other

Casper made a heavy knock on the table and let out an uncontrollable sigh before spitting it out.

Although he had already returned to his home country and was standing at Athegate openly, he was still restricted everywhere, which was really frustrating!

Seeing that the boss was in a bad mood, Leon quickly changed his tone and said flatteringly,

"Boss, we now have a solid foundation of resources from the Wood family. Actually, we can restore JTP Group's former glory without provoking Davonnis Corp and Webbex Group. Why bother..."

Before Leon could finish his words, Casper slammed the table and looked up with a furious expression on his face. Leon quickly lowered his head in response.

"What the fuck are you talking about?!" Casper was furious and shouted at Leon, "Have you forgotten the days I spent in the USA?! Have you forgotten that I can't even publicly acknowledge myself as Jacob now?! And you want me to just endure it?!"

"Boss, that's not what I meant..." Leon defended himself with a look of grievance.

"What do you mean then?!" Casper thundered, continuing to curse. "Even if I'm willing to tolerate, what about Miles?! He already knows my identity. Can he let me go?!"

As Casper continued to scold Leon, his head lowered more and more. At this moment, he really wanted to find a hole to hide in.

"My revenge is imperative. Don't let me hear such disheartening words in the future! Get out!" Seeing Leon's obedient look, Casper became even more irritable, and he grabbed a document and threw it at him. Leon didn't dare to hide and survived the blow before daring to escape.

Casper was restless and his thoughts were constantly shifting, all focused on how to harm Lucia and Arthur.

Another week had passed, and there were only five days left until Christmas. Arthur and Lucia had finally finished their work, so they invited friends to gather at home and also told them that they were planning to go to the USA.

Before dinner, Juliana and Kane, Eduard, and Daphne arrived as scheduled. Lucia and Arthur were usually quiet people, but they became lively when their friends gathered together. Peter was delighted to see this scene and felt a myriad of emotions in his heart.

Before, Arthur was cold and almost friendless. Peter had taken care of him in Athegate for many years, and his home was always empty and lifeless, like a mere house that could accommodate people. However, since he met Lucia, Arthur's temperament had gradually become much gentler. Later on, he made many friends. Now seeing him laughing and joking with Eduard other friends made Peter cannot help but feel emotional.

"Eduard, when are you going to hold your wedding? Don't keep Daphne waiting." Arthur liked to tease Eduard the most. They didn't know each other very well in the business before, but they became friends through Lucia and Arthur found out about this playboy's personality was very lively. The two complemented each other, and their relationship was getting deeper and deeper.

"Whatever, worry about yourself," Eduard gave Arthur a disdainful look.

Juliana laughed and said, "Daphne, you can't let Eduard get away with this. If he doesn't give you a grand wedding, don't spare him!"

Daphne blushed at the thought and looked down shyly. It made Eduard's heart itch.

"You have child and yet you still drool over your woman. Mr. Burton, can't you be more reserved?" Arthur teased.

"Isn't Lucia giving you the same look? How can I not react?" Eduard didn't hide his affection for his woman and even retorted back.

Arthur chuckled and hugged Lucia who couldn't stop laughing.

"Daphne's personality is similar to Nia's sister - quiet and shy." Seeing Daphne blush again, Lucia couldn't help but think of Eve. "By the way, didn't you exchange contact information with her? How's your conversation going?"

Speaking of Eve made Daphne smile mischievously as she lifted her head up to say, "Her personality does match mine well because she has been homebound due to illness. She is very innocent but still able to distinguish right from wrong. She even suspected something between Lauren and Lucia before but after I explained it all to her, she wasn't concerned anymore."

Arthur heard this with a meaningful glance at Lucia who quickly lowered her eyes while sticking out her tongue before continuing the conversation to shift Arthur's attention.

"Did she mention anything about Nia?"

Daphne replied, "Of course! She sees Nia as an older sister whom she trusts completely in every word that comes out of her mouth. Sometimes Eve even hints that I should help you make things easier for Nia by not 'bothering' or 'troubling' her."

"Bothering or troubling?" Even Lucia laughed at herself saying. "Eve probably doesn't know that every time something happens where Nia escapes danger it was because of me."Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

"Nia probably thinks it was all Lauren's doing," guessed Daphne.

"Poor Lauren has really had a hard time dealing with such bad luck," Juliana sighed in sympathy.

"Oh yeah! Although Lauren is looking for medical experts around the world now, we should also keep an eye out just in case. If Eve doesn't need blood from Nia, then things will be much easier," said Lucia excitedly.

"That's possible," Juliana immediately agreed saying. "I remember there was a professor in college who specialized in studying this disease. I'll ask him when we meet."

"Great! We'll ask Lauren for Eve's medical records so that we can show them to that professor later on." As soon as they started talking about this topic, Lucia became very enthusiastic again.

At that moment, Arthur, who had been embracing her all along, spoke softly, "Lucia, you really care about him..."

"Arthur..." Lucia laughed. She couldn't escape his jealousy.

"Haha, look! Mr. Davies is jealous!" Eduard laughed uncontrollably and invited everyone to appreciate Arthur's jealous expression. "Weren't we just talking about it with Lauren earlier?" Lucia leaned obediently in Arthur's arms and said with a smile: "Don't be jealous." "Hmph!" Arthur snorted with his nose up in the air. His proud appearance amused everyone.

"Mr. Davies, dinner is ready." Just then, Peter walked into the living room and said.

"Let's go eat! You guys can starve but my Daphne and baby can't." Eduard stood up first and carefully helped Daphne up. Daphne blushed as she shook off Eduard's hand while muttering, "It's only been two months; you don't need to help me."

Upon hearing this remark, Eduard could only follow behind his woman dejectedly. His appearance again made everyone laugh.

Naturally enough, friends gathered together happily; Lucia and Arthur also announced that they were leaving Athegate soon. Lucia entrusted Kane with managing Webbex Group in a serious manner, which made Kane feel embarrassed.

They talked all night long; each person went home eventually. Lucia and Arthur personally saw their friends out one by one at the door.
