My Mommy Is A CEO

Could it be her?

Was there really something so coincidental?

“Did you think of anything? Arthur?” Seeing her son’s serious face, Sophie hurried to ask.

“A test will show me whether it was her or not,” Arthur answered abruptly.

“What test?” Sophie did not get it and asked again.

“A DNA test,” he said.

While Lucia was in the office discussing with her colleagues, she felt a sudden chill on her back and shook her head wonderingly.

“Miss. Lucy, what’s wrong?” The colleague sitting beside her was concerned about her and asked in a soft voice.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“Nothing.” Lucia shook her head slightly, trying to get rid of those strange feelings and refocus on the case. Then she said, “It’s odd. If we cannot figure out where went wrong, we’ll have to assess the original data again, which means we will get the same result.”

Thinking of that, she pinched the bridge of her nose and, with one hand on the desk, lost in thought.

Almost all the men in the room held their breaths and let their eyes capture the beauty of her face. She was nothing but adorable. Her already soft face was even more delicate with her brow furrowed.

Seeing their reaction, Nia was so amused that she let out a loud cough on purpose, which acted as an alarm bell for all the men, forcing them to awkwardly move their attention away.

Then, Nia opened her mouth, “Lucy, given that you’ve been studying the assessment of our company, you must be really exhausted.”

“It’s not a big deal.” Lucia shook her head and lifted her brow as a sign of affirmation of her colleagues, “If there’s nothing wrong with the assessment of our company, that means…the problem is the data that CTD offered us that day.”

What Lucia said surprised everyone, for it had never occurred to them that CTD could be wrong.

“Right. Something was wrong with CTD.” After a quick think, Nia said the same thing, and meanwhile, the rest of the people all nodded.

Now that there was a new clue, Lucia excused herself and stayed in her own office, pondering.

Lucia was completely aware of what kind of people Jacob and Poppy were. She wouldn’t be surprised at all if they really did something awful in CTD. It was just…how should she investigate it?

It was all just a surmise and, as CTD was already sinking, a number of workers had resigned to seek new opportunities. Though she had some doubts, could she really figure them out?

If she couldn’t…

Thinking of that, Lucia felt her head more confused than ever.

She stood up and slowly walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling windows. She needed to organize her mind.

It was the busiest hour of Athegate. The flow of people on the street seemed never to end. Everyone was striving for their life and future. When Lucia was looking across the car streams, a sudden inspiration came to her. She called Nia immediately.

“Miss Webb? Anything happened?” Nia asked gently.

“Just call me Lucy. We are of the same age.” Lucia smiled at Nia. Her care for her son these days was apparent.

Hearing Lucia’s words, Nia changed her use of name quickly, “Alright, Lucy. How can I help you?”

After Lucia told Nia what was in her mind, Nia agreed instantly, “Sure, I’ll look into it. Maybe I can find what JTP Group was planning to do.”

“Thank you for your help.” Nia’s unequivocal answer greatly satisfied Lucia. After that, Lucia thought of something else, “Right, do you know any good kindergarten near our firm? Theodore can’t always stay with me.”

“I heard there are some good ones. I’ll have a check,” said Nia.

“And there’s one more thing. Could you please help me get a nanny for Theodore? I have to work late and I cannot always bother you to look after him.”

“It doesn’t bother me at all.” Nia hurried to say, “Theodore is lovely.”

Lucia smiled at her, “It would be better to hire a nanny. After all, it’s not your job to look after him. I don’t want anyone to think of you differently because of that. Could you help me with that?”

“Sure. I’ll deal with it.” Nia agreed and left the office.

As soon as she went out, the office was silent again. Lucia went into the rest room where Theodore was taking a sweet nap. She left a kiss on his little cheek and went back to work.

Since Theodore visited Arthur’s house, the house had become Sophie’s nest. She would talk about Theodore and Lucia regularly, which made Arthur, who was not interested at first, become unwittingly concerned about the name, Lucia.

That was why when he received the message from Lucia asking for a rendezvous, he was stunned.

“Mr. Davies, are you going to accept it?” Unaware of his boss’s strangeness, Kyle Sharp, Arthur’s secretary, continued to ask.

“Pardon me?” Arthur, who had been rational and calm all his life, was not sure what he had heard.

“What?” Kyle was baffled.

“I need you to repeat what you just said. Who wants to meet me?” He narrowed his eyes and there was something impatient in his voice.

Kyle soon obeyed his order and repeated, “The new executive of Jibillion Inc, Lucia, called to meet you. Are you going to accept it? Her assistant is still holding the line.”

The minute Kyle finished his words, he found Arthur’s eyebrow shoot up.

It was indeed Lucia!

Arthur heard the name clearly this time.

While Kyle was waiting for an answer, Arthur’s mind was all mixed up. Why would Lucia want to meet him?

“Tell her that I will meet her at Willow Café tomorrow, 10 o’clock in the morning.”

Now hearing Arthur’s words, it was Kyle’s turn to be stunned.

Did he hear it right? Mr. Davies wanted to meet at a café?

Seeing his puzzle, Arthur said dryly, “Is there any problem?”

“No..! No!” Kyle, who had just gathered his senses again, said while retreating, “I’ll tell her.” Then he left the office.

Without Kyle’s presence, Arthur got relaxed and showed a sense of confusion. Lucia’s request really kept him in the dark.

Was there anything wrong with her son?

Meanwhile, Lucia was as confused as Arthur, for she was told that the manager of Branch of Davonnis agreed to meet her, but chose to meet at the Willow Café near Branch of Davonnis.

Did he have the habit of discussing business outside?

Seeing her puzzled face, Nia was hesitant about whether to tell Lucia about the car-stopping thing, but since Lucia had been engaged in work again, she left the office and kept that matter to herself.
