She is a CEO novel Chapter 220

In the end, Kayla had to stand between her daughter and husband who were at loggerheads, and acted as a mediator, "All right. Robert, Julia, and I just got home and we haven't even dropped off our bags yet. Do we have to talk about this now?"

Robert sighed. He loved and cared for Juliana as Kayla did.

So Juliana stayed at home with her son, but her dream of meeting Kane never came true. She was still in confinement and Kayla just follow her closely. Every day, Juliana was thinking about how to get a chance to meet Kane.

Early summer had long passed. The air was damp because it rained all the time. People would be easily depressed and likely to get a cold. Eduard unluckily caught a cold at this time.

At the executive meeting, Eduard, whose cold was gone, was coughing non-stop. He did not want to interrupt the subordinates who were doing presentations, but he couldn't help it.

When Lucia saw Eduard coughing like that, she could do nothing but felt worried.

The meeting was over. As the executives were dispersing, Eduard's secretary approached him to tell him that a business seminar held by the city government was scheduled at 9:00 a.m. tomorrow morning, and asked if he could attend it.

"Of course, I can go!" Eduard said unhappily after being treated like a sick child by the secretary, but he coughed again just as he finished his sentence.

Lucia felt that it was not a good idea for Eduard to go to the meeting when he was so sick, so she suggested it. "Eduard, I'll attend it tomorrow on your behalf."

Lucia was the executive of Jibillion Inc and her presence at the conference could also make others believe that Jibillion Inc attached importance to the seminar.

"No way!" Eduard refused after coughing. He could not let Lucia attend it. All the business elites of Athegate must have been invited. Arthur, Jacob, and Spencer would all attend it.

Lucia read Eduard's mind, but she could not avoid her responsibilities because of her personal affairs.

She then said with a solemn face. "It's a deal."

Eduard coughed again. When he looked up, he saw Lucia's firm gaze, and he could no longer raise any objection.

He knew Lucia was never a coward.

"Good, then you attend it on my behalf, and just leave after the meeting." Eduard reminded Lucia.

"Roger that," Lucia said with a smile.

Later that night, Lucia and Theodore had a video chat. Her son asked her when she would be done with business. Lucia then suddenly realized that a few months had passed.

Comforting her son via the video call, Lucia was filled with guilt, and she was unable to answer any of his questions about Arthur.

"Mommy, when is Daddy coming to see me?"

"Mommy, why isn't Daddy home?"

"Mommy, Daddy ..."

Lucia pursed her lips.

Feeling Theodore's longing for Arthur, she replied on a whim, "Babe, take it easy. Mommy and Daddy will go to see you soon."

Two men's eyes met in the air. They were fighting for a woman.

Arthur was very unhappy and jealous that Spencer could talk to Lucia openly. He had been tired of fighting with Spencer. He turned his head to look for Lucia, and saw her slowly walking towards the exit and immediately went after her.

Spencer watched Arthur go after Lucia, and he followed without hesitation.

"Lucia!" Arthur held Lucia's arm just as she was about to walk into the elevator.

Lucia turned around. The elevator doors were not closed; the people in the elevator were looking at them. Arthur didn't want to be disturbed, so he pulled Lucia to the side.

Pulled to the corner, Lucia lowered her eyes to avoid eye contact with Arthur. She was afraid to see her in his eyes ...

"Lucia..." Seeing Lucia lower her head, Arthur let go of her arm and said softly, "How have you been lately?"

Obviously, they still loved each other. It was ridiculous that Arthur could only ask her how she had been though they were just inches away.

Lucia pursed her lips. How was she supposed to answer this question?

Arthur sighed. 'Does she hate me so much that she doesn't want to take a look at me?'

Without hesitation, he raised his hand to cup Lucia's chin and forced her to look up at him.

Then Arthur asked, "Lucia, can you take a look at me?"
