She Is a Ceo by Jorgie Chapman

Chapter 37 You’re Dead Meat, Lucia! 

The next day at work, Lucia went to Eduard to apologize for what happened last night After all, she attended the party with him for business, but she left because of personal affairs. She felt that she had failed in her duty. 

Eduard felt frustrated to hear Lucia’s apology but pretended to be calm. “It’s not a big deal. How you doing? If you feel bad, you can rest at home.” 

“What happened last night didn’t bother me,” Lucia smiled and said. Recalling Arthur’s confession of love, she couldn’t help but smiling. “Mr. Burton, I’m sorry. If Jacob turns against Jibillion because of me, I will take care of it.” She knew Jacob was narrow-minded. He lost face in front of her last night. Lucia guessed he would target against Eduard and Jibillion Inc in the future, which was the last thing Lucia expected. “He’ll do it even without you. You know why the former executive quit, right?” Wicked men would risk anything to benefit themselves. Eduard wasn’t bothered by it at all. “Don’t worry. It’s not that easy for him to make things difficult for Jibillion.” Knowing he was trying to reassure her, Lucia smiled and nodded.

All the employees who met her bowed their heads, afraid that they might accidentally offend Poppy who was hot-tempered. “Jacob!” When she arrived at Jacob’s office door, Poppy pushed it open and angrily called Jacob by his name. Jacob, who was talking business with a client, was embarrassed to see Poppy barging in. “Poppy, you’re back!” Jacob guessed that Poppy had known about what happened last night. 

But now there was an outsider in his office, he reminded Poppy gently to control her temper. Poppy, however, was so angry that she went over to them and stared at Jacob.

Poppy’s rumblings, Jacob hid his displeasure cleverly and said in his usual helpless tone, “I did meet Lucia last night, but I didn’t badger her.

But Arthur and Eduard showed up at that moment, and that was why people noticed us. You think I’d be stupid enough to go after her?” Jacob was a master at turning right from wrong. Poppy looked into Jacob’s eyes as he explained. What he said seemed to make sense, but she knew something was wrong. Seeing that Poppy was still unhappy, Jacob pretended to say resignedly, “If you had been there last night, I wouldn’t have been that humiliated by Arthur and Eduard.” Poppy was still angry, but she
