She Is A CEO

"Lucia, come to me," Arthur called to Lucia, who was dazed.

Lucia, still absorbed in her thoughts, was shocked by Arthur's words. She blushed and stood up to walk to him.

Arthur naturally put his hand around Lucia's waist and let her lean against him. After noticing that Lucia's hand was a little cold, he picked up the remote control and turned up the heat. He did it so quickly and directly that Lucia couldn't help but laugh. "My body temperature is naturally low. I am not cold actually."

"No. I can make sure you warm up until your hands get warm." Arthur persisted, even though he felt a slight dry heat as the temperature rose.

Lucia was not going to argue with Arthur. She found that the papers on Arthur's desk had been taken care of, so she chatted with him and looked at the decorations on the desk.

There was one of Arthur's graduation photos, one of his family photos, and one photo of him with a beautiful girl.

Lucia did not pay special attention to it, but Arthur was holding the girl's shoulder in the photo, and the girl leaned her head against his shoulder. They smiled brightly and naturally and were very intimate. On the contrary, he looked more serious in the family photo, which showed that he and that girl must have a special relationship.

Arthur immediately knew which one she was looking at by following her gaze. He smiled after he saw the weird look in Lucia's eyes.

Arthur then spoke, "She is my father's best friend's daughter. Elegant as she seems, she's actually a tomboy."

Lucia took a look at the girl in the photo and thought that she must be a cheerful girl with such a bright smile. Then she asked curiously.

"Is her name elegant?"

"Yes, my aunt named her Juliana, Juliana Knight," Arthur replied with a smile.

"Juliana... It's a very classical name."

"Yeah, but she doesn't live up to her name. Her mother advocated American education and sent her to our house at a young age. She is closer to my parents than to her own and now works abroad," Arthur said.

Lucia nodded and looked down at Arthur for a moment. The childhood friends were the ones that were most likely to develop a secret love for each other. Didn't something happen between Arthur and her? Lucia summoned up the courage to ask directly.

"She and I?" When Arthur heard Lucia's question, he raised his eyebrows in surprise and then laughed out loud, as if he had heard some absurd remarks.

"What are you laughing at?" Lucia was already embarrassed, but was even more embarrassed by his laugh.

Arthur, without his usual calmness, began to explain.

"She is more like a brother than a sister. What do you think is gonna happen to me and my brother?"

Lucia blushed when she heard this... It did seem like she was overthinking it.

But now that she was with Arthur, she couldn't help noticing...

Lucia's face was getting redder. Arthur tightened his arms around her waist and asked with some satisfaction.

"Are you upset?"

Lucia was silent. As she wrapped her arms around Arthur's head, she ran her fingers gently through his hair and admitted it silently. At the same time, they started making out.

Arthur smelled Lucia's fragrance, and his heart was filled with happiness.

Kyle stopped opening the door to the CEO's office when he saw them embracing at the desk, but the noise he made still interrupt them.

Lucia wriggled out of Arthur's arms like a frightened rabbit. Kyle could only bury his head and spit out the words under pressure. "Mr. Davies, time's up."

Though he still wanted to cuddle up with Lucia, he had to stop since the time was up. Arthur said to Lucia, "Lucia, let's go downstairs."

"Okay." Lucia smiled and nodded, not asking what the main point of today's conference was, because she trusted Arthur.

On the fifth floor of Branch of Davonnis was the activity room. Except for the high-level meetings held in the conference room on the floor below Arthur's office, other company activities would be held here. It was 15 minutes before the start of the event, and the reporters who had been given their passes had taken their seats early, surrounded by busy employees and security guards, and the room seemed to be buzzing with noises.

Arthur took Lucia backstage. Standing beside the equipment, the staff members were ready, just waiting for Arthur to say the word.

"Lucia, you don't have to do anything later, just prove the truth." Arthur looked at his watch and said to Lucia.

"Okay." Lucia gave Arthur a sweet smile.

Arthur took her hand and gently pinched it to give her comfort. When the time came, the manager of the public relations department took the microphone to the stage, and the conference officially began. "Members of the media, entertainment, and finance press, welcome to the press conference held by Davonnis Corp today. I believe that you are familiar with your peers around you, and you should be curious about the theme of today's conference. When we informed you to attend the conference, we did not explicitly say it, just to give you a little surprise."

A surprise?

As soon as reporters from all media heard this, they began to whisper in private, but soon the manager interrupted them as he continued, "The theme of the conference will be announced by Mr. Davies, President of Davonnis Corp. Please greet him by applause!"

As soon as the manager finished speaking, Arthur released Lucia's hand, took the microphone, and walked up to the podium. The meeting hall burst into applause. Everyone was waiting for Arthur to show up. Arthur came on stage. The manager turned off the microphone and stood aside to let Arthur catch the spotlight.

He mounted the rostrum, shrugging off the prolonged applause. He glanced around the room at the reporters with a meaningful look in his eyes before he spoke.

"Welcome to press conference held by Davonnis Corp. As to people invited here, on the left side were all the media and magazine reporters that were involved in the morning news coverage of Lucia's dispute with Jacob."

Arthur's words caused an uproar in the room. Especially the reporters on the left side of the venue looked very bad, while the other reporters on the right side, who did not participate in the negative coverage, looked to the left.
