She Is A CEO

Chapter 1062 Are You Blaming Me?

Nia had been hospitalized for a week now, and Kevin had also been transferred from ICU to a regular ward. After waking up, they both expressed their mixed feelings together. They can truly be considered as a pair of unfortunate couple who had experienced danger together.

A week later, Nia completed the discharge procedures, but Kevin still needed to continue treatment. So she moved directly into Kevin's ward and Eve came less often to avoid interrupting them.

This afternoon, Kevin asked Nia,

"Nia, has Eve not responded to you yet?"

As soon as Eve was mentioned, Nia's eyebrows furrowed and she sneered, "She's determined this time. No matter how much I persuade her, it's useless. I've been angry and begged her, but she just won't budge."

She remembered these days when she exhausted all means to persuade Eve, and was even more frustrated and oppressed.

"You don't have to be too anxious either. At least we are safe now. After all, this is a matter of life and death. She is just an ordinary young girl, so of course she would be scared," Kevin comforted Nia. Nia snorted and disagreed, "Eve is just an ordinary girl, but Lauren is not an ordinary person. He can help with this matter. He just doesn't want to. So... instead of desperately seeking Eve's help, it's better to go directly to him."

"Shh!" Kevin glanced outside the door and cautioned Nia, "Speak softly. Stoffer is still out there!"

"What else am I afraid of?" Nia was already murderous towards Casper, and she was always thinking about how to cut him into pieces to vent her hatred.

"Anyway, if we can really get Lauren to help us get rid of Casper, then we won't have any worries. Although it's difficult to shake Lucia and Arthur, at least they won't endanger our safety," Kevin thought for a moment and no longer suppressed his voice.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Kevin finished speaking, the door suddenly pushed open and both of them were instantly on edge. The next second, they heard Lucia's voice with a hint of sarcasm, "Mr. Berry, you're right. At least Arthur and I won't endanger your lives."

Lucia's eyebrows and eyes were as dark as ink, with a faint smile on her lips. Her starry eyes were full of playfulness, leisurely watching Nia and Kevin whose expressions changed in the blink of an eye.

The two words "Ms. Webb" were stuck in Kevin's throat.

"I heard that you two almost died, so I came to check on you," Lucia said. She didn't continue to inquire about what the two had just said and instead raised a fruit basket as a gesture and walked into the room. "Ms. Webb, please have a seat!" Nia nervously stood up to greet Lucia, took the fruit basket she brought and warmly invited her to sit down.

Kevin and Nia were already awkward enough, but now with Lucia not saying anything, they felt like they had a target on their backs. Nia changed positions several times but couldn't get comfortable and didn't know what to talk about with Lucia.

Lucia chuckled inwardly at their discomfort. Finally, she spoke up, "I heard Miles rescued you guys? That's quite surprising."

"Miles was afraid Casper would mess things up and wouldn't be able to fix it himself, so he helped us out!" Nia eagerly jumped in as soon as she could continue the conversation. "Congratulations on escaping another ordeal. This time Miles personally intervened so Casper should behave for a while. You don't have to be so nervous," Lucia said with a smile.

"How can he behave? Miles doesn't even matter to him," coughed Nia before realizing her mistake. She intended for Lucia to be wary of Casper and used this opportunity to persuade her to suppress him. But she spoke too quickly without considering that she revealed some information about Casper's true identity. Kevin picked up on it right away and slapped Nia hard on the back before she could finish her sentence.

"Why did you hit me?" gasped Nia after catching her breath again, glaring at Kevin accusingly but then seeing his sharp gaze realized what she had done.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Lucia saw through their guiltiness and cunningness but pretended not to notice, "Is there something wrong with Ms Davidson's words?"

"Not really," Kevin explained calmly while smiling insincerely, "It's just that Nia doesn't know much about Miles. I'm afraid her wild guesses might affect your judgment."

"Is that so?"

Kevin smiled falsely, which made Lucia even more disgusted inside.

"Ms. Webb, I'm sorry for my wild guesses," apologized Nia in sync with Kevin.

"Don't worry about it, Ms Davidson," waved off Lucia nonchalantly before getting serious again. "I came here firstly because I wanted to check your situation. Secondly because I wanted ask who is managing Stable Growth now since you're still hospitalized."

Kevin looked at Nia when he heard this question; he had only recently woken up from his coma and didn't have the energy or focus yet needed to manage the company properly - this question was best left answered by someone else.

"I am taking care of it," lied Nia since Lauren's two bodyguards were always by her side now. She feared being caught by Casper again. Plus all company affairs were previously handled by Kevin anyway, therefore, managing them herself wasn't something that came naturally or easily for her anymore.

"Please manage your subordinates well. Three days ago, StandHill's people caused trouble at Stable Growth, resulting in a conflict with our people and even involving the police. Kane had to step in to resolve it. As I mentioned before, although Stable Growth is our subsidiary company, you are responsible for managing its affairs. Therefore, it's up to you to control your subordinates' work. Otherwise, if there is another incident like the previous strike that affects Webbex Group, I will have to consider dealing with Stable Growth."

Lucia spoke calmly but her piercing gaze made Nia feel uneasy.

"Casper must be trying to disrupt the company's order while we're both injured and hospitalized," Kevin took advantage of the opportunity and said, "Since you intend to dispose of Stable Growth anyway, can't you just give it back to us? We're willing to pay more than its selling price!"

"No," Lucia refused decisively.

Kevin and Nia were left breathless by her response.

"You two... do what you want," Lucia smiled as she got up and left without giving Nia or Kevin any chance for a reaction.

Nia was about to get up and politely see Lucia off when Kevin stopped her. "Don't bother! She came just as a warning; being polite won't help."Kevin said coldly.

"Are you blaming me?" Nia asked aggrievedly.

"Why would I blame you?" Kevin touched Nia's face gently. "I know that you're worried about me neglecting your duties at the company."
