She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 55

What Arthur said almost proved how little hope they had in finding her. There were almost two hundred thousand Americans of Athegate origin in Chicago, and Arthur did not even know Lucia's aunt's full name or other detailed information. Searching for them was like finding a needle in a vast ocean.

"Arthur, are you really dating Miss Webb?" Bailey bantered him.

Arthur had nothing to answer him. He had no intention to gain a wider knowledge of who Auntie Esmae was, nor had he ever imagined that he would lose contact with Lucia.

The stone that was pressing his heart became even heavier.

"Don't worry, Arthur. At least we know that Lucia and Theodore are safe. You saw someone pick them up the day you video-chatted with her, right?" Sophie was only trying her best to console him.

Arthur nodded. If he didn't know that, he wouldn't be sitting at home now.

"Right, Arthur. It's always busy during Christmas and the New Year's holiday. Though you cannot get in touch with them, it doesn't mean they are lost." Douglas's young face was clouded with worries. He adored Arthur the most, and he hated to see him like that.

"Arthur, Douglas is right. It took us so long to finally see each other. Don't let your paranoia ruin our time. I heard Miss Webb is quite smart, and the child is a highly intelligent genius. They can surely protect themselves. It would be a total waste of time if you keep on fantasizing and worrying. Tonight, we should have some drinks and enjoy our time, okay?" Bailey finally said something soothing.

Arthur stopped frowning.

Once Edwin noticed it, he interjected, "Count me in."

"How dare you!" Sophie, who was most concerned with Edwin's health condition, glared at him when she heard his words.

Though Arthur was worried, he believed Lucia and Theodore were capable enough to protect themselves. To make his family feel better, he also had some drinks.

At night, Edwin and Sophie were chatting, but their topic eventually shifted to Arthur.

"Arthur is too concentrated. All these years, once he likes something, he would grow fonder and fonder of it. Nothing can talk him out of it." When he was talking about Arthur, the look on Edwin's face was mixed with both concern and affection.

"I know," Sophie answered quietly. Though Bailey was constantly bothered by women, it was quite impossible for him to be impressed, which was rather a relief for them.

Edwin put his arms around Sophie's and asked her seriously, "Do you really think Lucia is trustworthy?"

It was not strange that Edwin should have such concerns. Lucia was complicated. She lived on with a sense of hatred. Meanwhile, Arthur had the ability to help her. Edwin was worried that Arthur would be taken advantage of.

"It's okay you don't believe Arthur, but don't you believe me?" Sophie glanced at him and answered calmly.

When she was still working in the company, Sophie was responsible for human resources. She had keen eyes and seldom made mistakes in selecting people.

Edwin's doubts went away after hearing just a few of her words. Then he continued, "There must have been something wrong with Miss Webb."
