She Is A CEO

Chapter 1147 A Good Show

Lucia's words fell lightly on his heart like feathers, gentle and full of ripples. Arthur couldn't help but stroke her back softly and speak in a gentle voice.

"Don't worry. After this week I will have time to accompany you."

"Don't accompany me," Lucia said while yawning and looking up, "I want you to not be so tired."

Upon hearing this, Arthur felt sorry for her and rubbed her head. He led her into the living room where he noticed a pile of documents on the coffee table and a contract displayed on the laptop screen. He suddenly realized that Lucia wasn't avoiding sleep, but rather tirelessly working on official business while waiting for his return.

How can he not love a woman like that?

After a tense inspection, Davonnis Corp had completed all the work prior to announcing completion. Under Arthur's supervision, the entire project passed quality control and several months ago countless companies were vying to move in. At this moment, all attention in Athegate was focused on this grand completion ceremony.

Of course, some people were happy while others were worried.

These days, Nia's mood had reached an all-time low. She easily got angry with her subordinates, causing everyone at Fabulous Dav's to be fearful of becoming the next victim. Kevin's mood was also very low. In the past, they were humble and pleasing to Lucia and Arthur in order to win this project, but they didn't expect Casper to benefit in the end.

With the news that Fabulous Dav's had already received an invitation to the completion ceremony, Nia was even more furious.

"Last time Eduard got married, he didn't invite us, and now he's calling us to the completion ceremony! Lucia is such a terrible person!" Nia cursed loudly in the office. Even without closing the door, her voice could be heard in the hallway. A senior executive who was about to report his work turned around and left quickly to avoid it.

"This may not necessarily be Lucia's intention," Kevin sat on the sofa, with an unpleasant expression on his face.

"Are you saying it was Casper's doing?" Nia gritted her teeth and expressed her intense hatred towards him, as if she wanted to dig into his bones and heart.

"He wishes us to make a fool of ourselves. It's well known that Stable Growth has been stripped of its credibility, and if they actually show up, they'll probably become the laughing stock of the entire industry," Kevin sneered.

"So why don't we go!" Nia walked up to Kevin and said, "Isn't he feeling proud? Let's join in the fun and I'll make sure he loses face!"

"Good!" Nia's fighting spirit was ignited, and Kevin stood up as well, "Let's attend on time!"

The completion ceremony during the day attracted a large number of media outlets, and even the mayor personally attended. Lucia and Arthur naturally took the spotlight, with Casper standing by their side as an investor. While many people believed that his presence there was purely a stroke of luck, they couldn't refute his qualification and could only envy him.

During the press conference, it seemed like everyone had come to a consensus to direct all questions towards Lucia and Arthur. Casper sat on the stage with them, but he was completely ignored like a transparent person. Despite maintaining a polite smile throughout the entire ordeal, it was obvious that he felt extremely awkward.

After the daytime commotion had ended, Arthur arranged for a grand celebration dinner on the sixth floor of Branch of Davonnis. He took Lucia to change into their formal attire after the press conference and completely disregarded Casper. Although Casper wanted to chat with them, he couldn't do anything when they didn't respond.

Arthur left all of tonight's hosting duties to Kyle and leisurely strolled around with Lucia at the venue. Shortly after, Juliana and Kane arrived as well. Since Daphne wasn't feeling well, Eduard called Arthur specifically to congratulate him but expressed his regret that he couldn't make it tonight.NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

As friends, there were no formalities needed.

"Alright then," Arthur said jokingly while feeling guilty towards Eduard's apologetic tone. "Take care of your wife first. We'll meet up again when she feels better."

"I heard you invited Nia and Kevin too," Eduard said cheerfully before hanging up. "If there's any juicy gossip next time around, make sure you tell me all about it!" Arthur snorted in response before saying goodbye and ending their conversation.

"Eduard really isn't coming?" Kane asked while listening in on their conversation earlier, "I thought someone as sociable as him would show up regardless."

"What's more important, wife or gossip?" Juliana added while giving her husband a sidelong glance.

Kane smiled slightly but wisely chose not to answer or expose himself since their babysitter had taken leave tonight which meant they wouldn't be able attend either way. Until Juliana spent two hours finding another reliable one just so they could join in on tonight's festivities instead.

"What about Casper?" she asked after giving her husband another glare. Just because he didn't speak out loud didn't mean she didn't know what was going through his mind!

"He's over there enjoying himself," Lucia pointed towards where Casper stood holding champagne while chatting away with some wealthy guests who seemed close with him. Judging by how often they laughed together, he looked quite contented indeed.

"Aren't those rich kids who hang out closely with Casper?" Juliana sneered disdainfully, "Birds of a feather flock together."

"You see around here, Casper's position in this project is awkward. Only a few people are willing to talk to him, and others don't want to get close," Kane observed.

"What can they talk about if they get close? How he got his hands on Stable Growth?" Lucia made a rare sarcastic remark.

"Lucia," Arthur immediately reached out and gently rubbed her back when he heard the change in her tone.

Lucia's eyes flickered. She pouted, and withdrew her gaze.

"I think Lucia is already impressive enough," Juliana sighed when she saw Arthur's small gesture. "Kane can also endure it. If it were me, Casper would have been torn apart hundreds of times by now!" "I couldn't bear it either. It was all thanks to Mr. Davies reminding me constantly," Lucia smiled.

Really, if Arthur hadn't been controlling her emotions all along, Lucia might have taken action against Casper long ago - not through official channels but by tearing him into pieces!

Arthur was about to speak when Kyle hurriedly walked towards them and said as he approached, "Mr. Davies, Nia and Kevin are already downstairs."

Arthur glanced at Lucia upon hearing this news and smiled, "Let's go. We should take up our role as catalysts."

Lucia smiled lightly and reached out to hold onto Arthur's arm while reminding Kane and Juliana, "Don't get too close. Just watch from afar."

Juliana nodded in agreement while holding onto her husband's hand as they followed behind them.
