She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 146

After leaving Balenciaga, Poppy walked in front with a long face, while Kane, lost in thought, followed her.

When Poppy turned around and walked out of the commercial building, she found that he lagged far behind.

Few people knew Kane better than Poppy. After taking one look at Kane's vacant look, Poppy was sure that he must have hidden something from her.

Poppy stopped to wait for him for the first time. With a cold smile on her lips, she watched Kane walking toward her. When he was inches away from her, she said abruptly, "Stop, or you will bump into me!"

Kane raised her head and found herself standing in front of Poppy. He was immersed in his thoughts just now.

He managed an easy smile and said, "Why don't you go on?"

Kane's smile convinced Poppy that he was hiding something from her, so she folded her arms over her chest and looked at him coldly, "Kane, are you hiding something from me?"

"What can I hide from you?" Kane's heart jolted. He hadn't decided whether to be honest with her, so he gave Poppy the runaround. But he didn't realize the guilty look on his face spoke for itself.

"Kane, we have known each other for many years. I can tell what you are thinking from your look. You tell me honestly, or I pressure you to say it. Choose one," Poppy said overbearingly.

Kane finally looked straight into Poppy's scrutinizing eyes. After hesitating for a moment, he asked, "Why are you so angry today? Did Jacob piss you off again?"

Aware that Kane was changing the topic, Poppy pulled a long face, glared at him, and turned to leave in a sulk.

Every time Kane didn't listen to her, Poppy would use this trick and it worked every time. Kane would catch up with her and apologize after she just took a few steps. Yet she still didn't hear Kane's voice from behind after she walked some distance.

Kane must have hidden something important from her!

From Kane's behavior, Poppy guessed the importance of the matter. She deliberately slowed down, with the faith that Kane would catch up.

As expected, when they were nearly one hundred meters away from each other, Kane gave way to obedience to Poppy and caught up.

"Poppy, don't be angry. I didn't mean to hide it from you." He caught up with Poppy and grabbed her hand. Before she pressed him, he leaked his secret.

A complacent smile flashed across Poppy's face. When she turned around, she had put on an injured face and said sadly, "Kane, don't you trust me now?"

Poppy's pitiful look could always soften Kane. Though Kane knew she faked a pitiful look to arouse his sympathy, he couldn't bear to see her like that.

He relented and said gently, "Poppy, I'm sorry. It's about someone else's privacy, so I can't leak it willfully."

"You can't even tell me?" Blinking her eyes, Poppy knew how charming she looked now in Kane's eyes.

As expected, Kane stared fixedly at her and finally let out a sigh to indicate that he gave in.
