She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 188

"That's not true," Lucia said with a smile, "It's very difficult to stay pure-hearted. It's good that you can distinguish the good from the bad, but you don't have to get caught up in the feud between Poppy and I. If you do, some of your precious characters might be gone. "

"But I ..." Daphne pressed her lips together. She really wanted to help Lucia. She had seen too many bad things Poppy had done.

"Well, thank you for treating me to a meal today. Your lunch break is about to be over, so hurry back." Lucia politely refused Daphne's kindness, stood up, and nodded to her before turning to leave. Daphne was left alone in a daze.

Lucia knew it was great for her to have a spy around Poppy, but she also knew what would happen to Daphne once Poppy found it out. There was no need for a pure-hearted girl like to be implicated.

It took a long time for Daphne to come back to her senses. When she went to the counter to pay the meal, she realized that Lucia had paid the bill. Daphne hurriedly ran out, but Lucia was gone.

So she knew it all ...

Lucia gently saved her face. Daphne was overwhelmed with gratitude towards Lucia, and she made up her mind.

Time went by. Lucia felt that she was at a deadlock. The clue she previously found couldn't be followed up. Eduard went to Drison with her a few days ago to look for that female cleaner. But when they got to the address provided by the hotel, the building turned out to have been demolished.

Lucia could not hide her disappointment. She needed a new direction. But it was hard to find a new clue because six years had passed.

Seeing Lucia's depressed look, Eduard asked her if she wanted to go on a business trip to take a break.

Lucia laughed. "You're my boss, but you let me use the excuse of going on a business trip to take a break?"

"I'm also your friend, aren't I?" Eduard smiled.

"Denmark is a good place to relax." Lucia thought of Denmark. The blue sea and a beautiful castle immediately came to her mind. Then she added, "How can the headquarters set the meeting place there? "

"Denmark is adjacent to German, but the meeting place was set there because the boss' daughter wanted to travel there. So, it was just a hasty decision," Eduard said, shrugging his shoulder.

"But you should be the one to attend the meeting arranged by headquarters, not me," Lucia said with a frown.

"So I've reported to headquarters that I'm not feeling well, so you'll have to do it for me," Eduard winked at Lucia and said softly.

"Eduard ..." Lucia then realized that Eduard arranged this business trip for her on purpose.

"If you want to repay me, I don't mind you throwing yourself at me," Before Lucia said thanks, Eduard leaned back in the chair, smiled gently and said.

"You thought too much." Lucia refused him nonchalantly.

Eduard looked aggrieved, which made Lucia laugh. Whether Lucia was really happy or pretended to be happy, he just wanted to help her.

Three days later, Lucia left for Denmark, and before she left, Eduard advised her to bring more thick clothes, as the winter was a bit longer and colder there.
