She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 165

Lucia's heart thumped. She turned her head to look around and saw Arthur slowly emerge from behind a pillar. His handsome face looked very solemn.

Realizing that she had fallen into a trap set by Jacob, Lucia turned back to shot daggers at Jacob.

"Lucia, sorry, I took the liberty of asking Arthur here. It turns out Mr. Davies arrived earlier than you." Jacob raised his eyebrows smugly. He had got a plan when talking to Lucia on the phone. Suesa Town was very close to Branch of Davonnis.

Thinking that what she just said was heard by Arthur, Lucia felt her heart sink, but she somehow didn’t mind being heard by Arthur.

"Jacob, aren’t you too despicable?" Lucia smiled and said, pretending not to care.

"I don’t think I am. It’s just a way to get what I want." Jacob had a sly smile on his face and deliberately whispered to Lucia.

Taking her eyes off Jacob's disgusting face, Lucia turned her head, met Arthur's eyes, and said, "Mr. Davies, it's been a long time."

Lucia’s address of Arthur indicated that she had drawn a clear line between her and Arthur.

She could not see Arthur's eyes clearly in the darkness, but when he came out of the darkness, she saw his cold eyes.

"It's been a long time," Arthur said indifferently as he walked.

Lucia's eyes flashed. She forced herself to look Arthur in the eye and suppressed her rapid heartbeat.

"Mr. Davies, since Lucia said she had broken up with you, the problem between us is settled. I did not mean to do that. How about we make peace with each other in the future?" Seeing Arthur coming over, Jacob said with a smile.

But Arthur ignored him, stared at Lucia, and Lucia was looking at him, too.

The three stood like the three legs of a tripod, but only Arthur and Lucia stared at each other.

Jacob had a feeling of being ignored. He should be the main character of today’s show!

"Mr. Davies, you heard what I said, didn't you?" Jacob tried to attract their attention.

Arthur and Lucia had broken up, but they tacitly turned to look at Jacob at the same time.

Lucia's eyes were sullen and cold, while Arthur said with mockery, "Jacob, do you think I’ll let you go after you mess with me?"

Arthur was towering over Jacob. After a few seconds, Jacob gave in, "Mr. Davies, I was competing with you because of Lucia. Now you have broken up with her. We can live in peace with each other."

Jacob said that to let Lucia know that he conflicted with Arthur for the sake of her.

Though with Spencer's help, JTP Group won over Davonnis Corp several times. But what if he lost Spencer's help? It would be hard for him to take the heavy blow stricken by Davonnis Corp blow. So, he was trying to make peace with Arthur.

Jacob seemed to trust Spencer a lot, but actually, he had his selfish calculations.
