She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 58

"You think we have little affection for each other?" Arthur said coldly while slowly standing up.

His self-proclaimed deep love turned into dominance in her eyes. And his self-perceived thoughtfulness and coddling turned into clinginess, and even her emotions, which he clearly felt in deep kisses and hugs, turned into a ridiculous "no deep feelings". Arthur did not expect Lucia to see the relationship between them in this way.

Being disappointed to the extreme was Arthur's most real state of mind right now.

If he had continued to crouch and continued to gaze at Lucia, he might have noticed the flicker of vulnerability and pain in her eyes after she nodded, but unfortunately Arthur couldn't see it, and Lucia hid it away quickly.

"We've only been together for less than two months. Arthur, let's move on." Sensing the disappointment in Arthur's tone, Lucia continued to hurt him.

The sooner, the less painful it will be.

Lucia relied on this thought to anesthetize herself.

Lucia's last words sent Arthur straight to hell.

Arthur took his jacket from the back of the sofa and put it on, moving quickly without a moment's hesitation. After donning, he walked straight to the door. Just as Lucia finally breathed a sigh of relief, he said, "It's okay to break up, but don't you forget Theodore is my son."

Lucia's heart tightened at the words. She was unable to say a word but could only watch Arthur open the door and leave. The sound of closing the door was loud, like the door to Arthur's heart was closed with a bang.

As soon as Arthur left, Lucia immediately stood up and went to the window sill. She pulled the curtain over her body, only to show a pair of eyes looking at the car downstairs. Soon, she saw Arthur went out of the building and got into the car. The sound of the engine roared from downstairs, and then, the Rolls-Royce Phantom went away in the dust.

Finally he left.

No longer able to see the Rolls-Royce Phantom, Lucia loosened the curtain and slid slowly into a seat. Now she was exhausted and shivering in coldness which was not from the winter chill, but from the heart.

"He's gone ...," Lucia said, buried her face in her knees and smiled to herself. Her voice was trembling like a falling leaf in a cold wind.

On the floor, there was a few drops of water which was spreading slowly.

Arthur did not know how he got back to the villa. On the way, he opened the car windows, with the help of the cold wind to let himself cool down as if he let the snow wrapped around his heart to make his heart cold. When he returned home, his hands were red from being frozen.

Sophie had not slept and had been waiting for Arthur. As soon as she heard the door open, she ran to the corridor to meet him, and when she saw Arthur shivering with cold, she was heartbroken and shocked.

"Arthur! What's wrong!" Sophie scolded while pulling Arthur into the living room and wrapping his body with the blanket she had wrapped herself in earlier, but with immense anger.

As a mother, Sophie was angry and distressed when she saw Arthur not taking care of his health.

Actually Sophie herself was clear that if nothing had happened, Arthur would not have come home tonight ... He and Lucia, what had happened?
