She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 61

Jacob's smile froze for a moment when he heard Lucia's question, then he asked, pretending to be natural, "Why do you ask that?"

Why? Because he was evil by nature, of course!

Lucia stared at Jacob and continued coldly, "You don't ask me out just to talk about domestic trivia, do you?"

After two times of meeting, Lucia still remembered clearly that he attacked her with bad words, so today Jacob's smile must be fishy!

"You're thinking too much." This phrase had almost become Jacob's usual excuse in the face of a woman's questioning.

"Really?" Lucia sneered in her heart, then stood up and made a move to leave, saying, "I'll leave first then."

"No way!" Jacob immediately opened his mouth to oppose. He used up a chance to ask her out alone. Just sitting across from each other for less than 20 minutes, how he was willing to!?

Lucia wanted to test Jacob to see if he still had a purpose, and now that he was so determined to oppose it, which immediately confirmed her thoughts. She leaned back in her chair, saying again impatiently, "Then say something. No need to beat around the bush."

Lucia's attitude towards Jacob can be described as impatient to the extreme, but it was such a difference between before and after that made Jacob feel addicted.

Lucia was once so obedient. For those traps that were designed by Poppy and him step by step, with only his words, she will be rushed to go to the stake even without any bait. Her once mushy attitude made him annoyed before.

But now, Lucia looked at him with only coldness in her eyes, and every word she said revealed her irritation and impatience that was extremely incompatible with her present virtue, which again and again stimulated the masochist hidden in the dark side of Jacob's heart.

Jacob was born in the countryside and lived with relatives after his parents died in their young ages. The beatings he received as a child were still deeply rooted in his spine even after many years. And he was afraid, even he didn't realize that, he had been used to that kind of beatings and had hidden a pathetic slavery and masochism in his heart.

Poppy was manic, violent and cynical. Because Jacob liked her domineering temperament, they decided to be together. But after a long time, Jacob found that Poppy's virtue was not enough to support her being capricious. Gradually, she became irrational and nonsense.

What was more, Lucia was different now. She had grown up to be the kind of ideal partner Jacob had been looking for since he was a child.

Last time, Eduard said that he was jealous. Jacob suddenly figured out that he was annoyed when he saw Lucia. It was not only because she could threaten his position today, but also because there were other men around her. Jacob had the darkest idea of all.

Anyway, he was tired of Poppy now. If he can get Lucia again and get rid of the domineering and cynical Poppy, he didn't have to worry about Lucia stole JTP Group, and he can have Lucia. What a perfect outcome that she was once his.

The plan he implemented this time, although ostensibly he would push Lucia to the edge of the cliff of public opinion, he actually would make Arthur give up upon her forever!
