She Is A CEO

All the way to the Lepus downtown by car, Lucia and Arthur contacted Miles after checking in at the Central Hotel, but unfortunately Miles did not answer the phone for a long time. Lucia gave up after trying to

make the third call.

"Miles is afraid to see us."

Lucia had personally informed Miles of her number, and it was impossible for him not to know that the caller was her.

"He'll see us even if he doesn't." Arthur had his own way.

That night, Miles was forced to contact Lucia, because as soon as Arthur spoke, someone went to remind Miles.

"Ms. Webb, why are you looking for me again..." Miles' tone of voice at the beginning revealed his thoughts. "Isn't the matter between us settled?"

"In my opinion, it's still not settled." Lucia said flatly.

"What do you mean by that?" Miles reacted violently, raising his voice and said, "You asked me to persuade Casper, and I did. What else do you want from me?"

"You're lying." Lucia's voice was still flat, even though these short words could set off thousands of waves in Miles' heart.

On the other end of the phone, Miles was stunned and silent, not knowing why Lucia was so sure that he helped Casper against his will.

Without waiting for Miles to give her an answer, Lucia continued,

"At noon tomorrow, on the third floor of the Central Hotel, Arthur and I will wait for you here. If you don't come, we will go to your home to find you." After speaking, Lucia hung up the phone directly, not giving Miles a chance to repent.

"He'll come." Arthur hugged Lucia and smiled.

"Yeah." Lucia nodded, and then suggested, "Anyway, there's still a day left, so let's go shopping by the way?"

"Why do you suddenly want to go shopping?" Arthur asked Lucia.

Lucia looked up at Arthur, smiled coquettishly and said,

"Isn't someone regretting that we rarely get to hang out like normal people?"

Arthur's heart moved when he heard the words. It turned out that Lucia still remembered what he said.

"Lucia..." As soon as his heart moved, Arthur's movements followed, but before he could kiss Lucia, she stopped him.

"Stop! I don't want to go shopping with a sore back!" Lucia said with a blushing face.

"It's okay. I'll be gentle." Arthur said deliberately with a wicked smile.

"Idiot!" Lucia became annoyed, pushed Arthur once, grabbed her coat and ran to open the door, and only shouted at him when she was outside. "Hurry up. Keep up with the speed!"

Arthur smiled, took his coat and followed. It didn't matter, because he won the month's bet anyway.

In this way, before meeting Miles, Arthur and Lucia wandered aimlessly in the strange city of Lepus. The two held hands on the street like ordinary couples, curious about the daily pastime far away from their lives. Arthur even drank the milk tea sold in the small shop on the street for the first time. When he frowned at the sweetness, Lucia laughed heartily.

The next day, Miles came to visit, and Arthur and Lucia had been waiting for a long time.

This time, Miles no longer had the ostentation before but came alone. Lucia was slightly surprised when she saw him. Was it her own illusion? She always felt that Miles had aged a lot in a short period of time, and the strong spirit had disappeared in his eyes.

Realizing this, she and Arthur exchanged glances, and the two understood, probably already knowing why.

"Mr. Wood, please sit down." After greeting, the three sat down facing each other in the rest area.

Miles sat on the sofa, looking very bad, but he spoke first,

"Ms. Webb, Mr. Davies, what do you want from me?"

Miles' voice was full of exhaustion, which came from the bottom of his heart, and he couldn't pretend it.

Lucia didn't rush to answer, but mentioned Libby inadvertently. "I heard that Mrs. Wood is still in Athegate right now?"

Upon hearing his wife's name, Miles lowered his gaze, and replied in a low voice, "Yes."

"That's strange. Casper doesn't look like someone who needs to be taken care of. Why Mrs. Wood has stayed in Athegate? Wouldn't it be better to stay by your side?" Arthur also spoke leisurely, with a casual and peaceful tone.

Miles was really stupid if he didn't understand now. He leaned on the back of the chair dejectedly, glanced up slightly, and said lightly,

"What do you think?"

"I don't want to do anything. I just want to know what your difficulties are. It must be uncomfortable to be blackmailed by your son." Lucia said seriously.

Miles was extremely contradictory at this time. Should he confess or still continue to hide? He knew how small the chance of his real son's survival was, but no matter how small the chance was, he can't just ignore it!

"No comment." Finally, Miles sat up straight, determined not to reveal any information.

"Mr. Wood, think it over," Arthur was very dissatisfied with Miles' answer and said coldly. "We are the only ones who can help you now. Once you miss this opportunity, let alone Casper, I won't even protect you!"

Arthur's warning was by no means just a matter of words. Miles put on a pale face, but still resisted.

"It's up to you to doubt as much as you like. I have already fulfilled what I promised you. We will see each other less in the future. If you still can't let go of this feeling, you can find Casper yourself." Miles turned his head, stood up and said so. He was about to leave, and it was less than fifteen minutes before he sat down.

"Lucia, did you hear that?" Arthur asked Lucia, looking at Miles' hurried back.

"Well, I heard that," Lucia said with a deep smile, "This trip is not for nothing."

Coming out of the Central Hotel, Miles immediately got into the car, and the two subordinates couldn't help asking when they saw him,

"Mr. Wood, why did you finish talking so quickly?"

"How can we talk about it!" Miles said, holding his breath, "Do you want me to tell them the truth?"

His subordinates were silent. Rhys and Billy were still in the hospital at this time, and they were destined to be crippled. Casper's ruthlessness needed not be questioned.

"Is there any news about the people you sent out?" Miles asked with a deep breath.

"No..." The subordinate looked downcast, and said slowly, "We are not familiar with the USA. It is too difficult to find someone, let alone we are not sure whether your son is still there."

After listening to his subordinate's words, Miles seemed to be discouraged. At this time, the sky outside the window was clear, but in his eyes, it was foggy and dark.

Lucia and Arthur didn't stay in Lepus for a long time, and returned to Athegate by plane in the afternoon. Arthur already had his own doubts in his heart, so he let Lucia rest assured that he would investigate in depth.NôvelDrama.Org © content.
