My Mommy Is A CEO

Lucia listened to Nia talking about the change in public opinion. The two of them chatted happily, but did not notice that in the corner of the cafe, there was always a line of sight gazing here, intentionally or not.

Jacob didn’t expect that he would be so lucky today. He just didn’t want to be annoyed by Poppy, that was the reason why he went out to drink coffee alone at noon with the excuse of accompanying a client but unexpectedly bumped into Lucia.

Moreover, Arthur and Eduard were not present, and the little assistant who didn’t fear threatening beside her was completely negligible.

During this time, Jacob had been looking for opportunities to ask Lucia to meet privately. The reason was nothing more than his wanting to know what her plans were coming back. Although he had the speculation that she might not tell him the truth, he still would like to give it a shot. Because this way he could…

His eyes were fixated on Lucia, even though the two were far away, Jacob could still see her amazingly beautiful smile – even he didn’t realize how greedy his face was when he saw that smile.

Lucia was forced to suspend her job because of the scandal. Jacob couldn’t reach her through the company. After all kinds of inquiries, he finally found her private number. Unfortunately, he was blocked every time he called. Jacob was about to give up until he met her today by chance.

Watching Lucia’s every move intently, Jacob was like a viper lurking in the grass, waiting for the right moment to capture his prey in one fell swoop.

The lunch break was almost over, Lucia had free time, but Nia still had to go back to work. She stood up and said a few goodbyes to Lucia before leaving. Lucia had not finished her coffee, so she was staying.

This was a golden opportunity!

After Nia completely left the cafe and disappeared into the crowd of people on the street, Jacob stood up and even deliberately avoided the route that would be discovered by Lucia, choosing to approach her after the detour.

But when Jacob walked over without saying hello and sat down in the seat opposite her, Lucia didn’t look surprised at all, and even sipped a cup of coffee, lowered her eyes, and asked.

“What would you like to drink?”

Lucia immediately felt a sense of disgust in her heart, but her arrogance did not allow her to run away. She herself had no guilt toward him, no way should she run away and avoid him when she met him. On the contrary, the one who should feel afraid of meeting herself should be Jacob!

Lucia sips her coffee, thinking dismissively.Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

“You saw me just now, didn’t you!” Although Lucia lowered her eyes, her eyes were flat, but Jacob just felt that he was being mocked by her silently!

Lucia was silent, noncommittal.

At this time, a waitress came over and asked politely, “Sir, would you need me to bring your coffee over?”

Jacob was instantly annoyed and yelled at the waitress, “Go away!”

The waitress didn’t expect that the seemingly gentle and polite guest would get angry with her for no reason and was stunned there for a while, a little overwhelmed.

This was Lucia speaking to help her out.

“Just get him a new cup of what he was having and send it over here.”

Lucia raised her head and smiled at the waitress, intending to appease her. The waitress was embarrassed, but after seeing Lucia’s smile, her heart warmed – she nodded quickly and left to get the coffee ready.

As soon as the waiter left and when Lucia faced Jacob again, the smile on her face was like a snowflake in the palm of her hand, beautiful yet instantly faded away.

The nameless fire in Jacob’s heart was raging, and Lucia’s actions undoubtedly indicated that she could show a generous smile even to a stranger, but it was absolutely impossible for him!

Jacob had the anger that he wanted to let out but had nowhere to do so, it made him clench his fists impatiently, and at this moment Lucia said indifferently.

“Your temper has gotten worse.”

Jacob in the past, although he was also hypocritical, was still modest in his dealings with others. It seemed that power and money could indeed change a person’s character. From forbearance to extreme arrogance, he must have come a “long” way.

There was no way Jacob could bear Lucia mocking him. Jacob immediately countered.

“Aren’t you too?”

At this time, Jacob, although annoyed, also had hidden joy in his heart. Lucia was willing to talk to him, and it was not like the first time when they only talked about business affairs, which made him finally feel like he was talking to an “old acquaintance.”

Lucia found it hard to understand, so she stopped talking and turned to look out the window, preferring to be dazzled by the sun than to look at Jacob.

Jacob looked at Lucia’s slightly hazy and delicate profile, and couldn’t help but think if the conspiracy five years ago was true love, would they sit here today, snuggling with each other, talking about life and the future, and even already had had children of their own.

Jacob unconsciously fell into the picture he made up in his own mind. Now that he was successful, but the person accompanied him was Poppy, who had an increasingly domineering personality.

The warmth between them had been worn away by countless conjectures and power struggles, so the tranquility and beauty shown by Lucia were exactly what Jacob lacked now – something used to be within his reach. This was incredibly ironic.

Not hearing Jacob speaking again, Lucia got a little impatient. She knew he was going to question her, so she asked – why was he so silently?

Frowning slightly, Lucia turned her head and saw Jacob’s indescribable look at a glance.

Why was he looking at himself like that?!

Lucia frowned and said impolitely, “If you have something to say, say it now. Why are you looking at me like this?”

Lucia regained Jacob’s sanity with her lightly reprimanding voice. After realizing what he was thinking, his expression became very unnatural, but seeing the impatience in Lucia’s eyes, Jacob’s anger was easily brought up again. Why did she always look at herself with such aloof and indifferent eyes!

Jacob was completely unconscious that the person who had hurt Lucia the most was he himself!

If Lucia hadn’t been a civilized person, she would have wanted to slash Jacob with a knife every time she saw him!

“Why on earth are you coming back?” Jacob’s anger dispelled his previous expectations, and his attitude began to deteriorate. At the moment, the waitress happened to come over to serve coffee, and unsurprisingly, she got frightened by Jacob again.

This time, without Jacob speaking, the waitress put the coffee on the table, and fled without even saying “Sir, please enjoy.”

The scene in front of Lucia made her feel ridiculed – Jacob’s self-restraint did not match his current status. Thinking of this, her tone became even colder.

“I told you, this is my home.”
