She Is a Ceo by Jorgie Chapman

Chapter 48 Things Need to Be Discussed Face to Face 

There was another moment of silence Lucia thought the signal was interrupted, and just wanted to hang up the phone to call again, when Esmae’s voice sounded, low and solemn. “Arthur, the chairman of Davonnis Corp. Edwin’s third son, is that him?” 

“Yes,” Lucia responded immediately and then asked, “Esmae, do you know him?” 

Heaning Esmae say Arthur’s father’s name. Lucia remembered that Esmae’s family was equally good – maybe they knew each other “Edwin is one of the best talents in the financial industry in the USA and the chairman of Davonnis Corp. How could I not know him? Esmae’s VOIT was still low Esmae’s words didn’t sound like a compliment or appreciation, but rather sarcasm, She sounded completely different from the excitement when she learned that Lucia was in love. Lucia was even more puzzled, but she didn’t know the reason At this moment, Esmae continued. “You guys should book a ticket on the 20th and come back. I have something to tell you in person.” 

Lucia planned to take the light on the 23rd with Arthur. It was the end of the year, so Arthur was very busy at work and couldn’t leave earlier 

So, Luca hesitated and said, “Esmae, can we go back on the 23rd instead? I would like to wait for Arthur..” “No, you and Theodore should come back to me first, just the two of you.” Esmae gave Lucia no room for refusal She was telling Lucia that it had to be done instead of asking for Lucia’s opinion This time. Lucia was even more confused. Just as Lucia was about to say something. Esmae said she was tired and all could be discussed until they were back. She then hung up the phone in a hurry, leaving Lucia puzzled. Arthur saw Lucia like this when he came out of the living room with Theodore smelling fresh from the shower On the balcony. Lucia looked alone in the dim light. Although the healing in the room was pouring out from the open drag window, there was still a white mist around Lucia, as if wrapping her in the cold *Lucia, what are you doing standing on the balcony?” Arthur hurried over, stretched out his hand, and pulled Lucia back into the warm room Only then did Lucia come back to her senses. Seeing Lucia’s confused face, Arthur frowned slightly and asked her worriedly, “What was on your mind just now?” Lucia looked blank but her mind was racing She and Esmae were just talking on the phone, however, after being told that her boyfriend was Arthur, Esmae’s tone sounded cold and even faintly revealed hostility to Edwin 

Lucia couldn’t figure it out, but there was one thing she could be sure of- she wouldn’t go against Esmae. Esmae was a good friend of Lucia’s father Eric before she went abroad. The two had a deep friendship. Although she went to the USA very early to develop her career, rarely returned to Athegate, and seldom meet Eric, their friendship never ended. Lucia had always remembered that it was Esmae who would bring her countless gifts whenever she returned to Athegate and who treated her like a daughter, not to mention the kindness Esmae had shown to her in recent years. 

so Lucia looked up and spoke to Arthur. “Arthur, I am afraid I might not be able to leave with you. I talked to Esmae on the phone just now, and she said that she

heard Lucia mention Esmae. He knew that if it hadnt been for the help of Esmae five years ago, Lucia would not have gotten out of the tragedy and stood in front of him now. So, even though he was unwilling, he still showed understanding. “Okay, how about this? I spend some extra time to finish my work earlier
