She Is A CEO

Chapter 1128 The Joy of Women

"No need, Lauren can walk," Arthur was not polite to them, and he didn't want Lucia to leave his side even for a moment.

Lucia did not insist, but only whispered to Arthur, "Be nice to Eve. She is the girl that Lauren likes."

"Am I not nice to her?" Arthur raised an eyebrow.

Lucia nodded affirmatively. He didn't know it himself, but every time he looked at Eve, his eyes were full of severity.

"I used to have objections towards her because she disregarded Lauren's feelings for the sake of her sister. But now that she has realized it herself, I don't mind anymore." Arthur explained calmly. Lucia smiled and said, "Then you should be gentle with her later."

Arthur gave Lucia a cold snort and glanced at her before turning away. Lucia couldn't help but laugh.

Soon enough, Lauren brought Eve up onto the rooftop where they were greeted warmly by Juliana. Juliana was curious about Eve since she had a completely opposite personality from hers.

"Eve! We thought you weren't coming! Come on over here and see Daphne!" Juliana hopped over like a bunny towards Eve without hesitation and pulled her along towards Daphne who was talking with some elders nearby. Of course, she would not feel wrong since she was enthusiastic, but Eve turned back three steps and looked at Lauren for help.

Eve kept looking back pitifully at Lauren as if asking for help while being dragged away by Juliana who seemed too friendly for comfort sometimes.

Lauren hoped that Eve would become more outgoing so he chose to ignore what happened and let Juliana take care of it instead.

Lucia saw what happened too; without saying anything else, she followed them as well since Juliana could be overwhelming sometimes which might make things difficult for poor little Eve. After Lucia left, Arthur approached Lauren, "I thought you weren't going to come."

"Eve wanted to come," replied Lauren nonchalantly.

At this point, Kane walked over followed by Eduard who had been accompanying Daphne all night long until now. When he saw Lucia joining them again, he decided it was time join the men's group instead "Eve, you look beautiful tonight." Daphne smiled when she saw Eve.

Eve usually wore plain clothes most days even after becoming closer with Lauren; however today she wore a bright yellow dress which made her already fair skin look even more delicate "Daphne," Eve blushed and said with her head down, "you are today's bride, you are the most beautiful."

Daphne smiled knowingly, realizing that Eve was feeling shy again. While Daphne's personality was already introverted enough, Eve took it to another level and even a slightly teasing remark could make her blush with shyness.

As soon as Eve lowered her head, Juliana forced her to raise her head again by picking her chin. Juliana said quite seriously,

"Twenty is the most carefree age. Don't always keep your head down. You are beautiful and should let others know too."

Juliana had a free-spirited personality, and of course, she may find it difficult to tolerate Eve's shyness. Her way of advising was also sharp and direct.

Eve was forced to look up, but she wasn't displeased because she saw Lucia's faint smile. The words they spoke were for their own good...

Realizing this, Eve was only grateful in her heart and no longer lowered her head.Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Juliana was finally satisfied, "That's better!"

Lucia lightly tapped Eve's shoulder and said, "She's used to being bold. If you can't handle it, just ignore her."

"Lucia! Are you really going to expose me like this in front of everyone?" Juliana raised an eyebrow and protested, seemingly angry, as she linked arms with Lucia.

"Did I say something wrong?" Lucia laughed with curved eyebrows and sparkling eyes, "You're the only one who picks on people's chins like that."

"What's wrong with me picking it up," Juliana said grinningly, and reached out to pick Lucia's chin on purpose, and even teased Daphne by the way, "This is called boyfriend power!"

"You're a girl!" Eve and Daphne both retorted at the same time, then they looked at each other and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Being with them, it feels like my whole heart has relaxed," Eve quietly thought to herself.

The women were laughing constantly, while the atmosphere on the men's side became somewhat tense.

"Kane, your woman touched Lucia's chin."

"Kane, your woman touched my wife's chin."

Lauren didn't bother to speak and just gave Kane a death stare.

Kane was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, shouting out his innocence.

The evening breeze blew gently, unable to disperse the lingering laughter or carry away the scent of happiness.

Even the happiest gatherings came to an end. Slowly but surely, fatigue began to show on everyone's faces. Some started leaving one by one until only the families of the bride and groom and their close friends like Arthur and Lucia remained.

"I really wish we could stay like this forever."

Lucia smiled and leaned into Arthur's arm, causing him to chuckle. "Eduard, it's rare for you to make such a deep sigh," she teased.

"If it weren't for meeting you guys, I'd still be the reserved CEO of Jibillion!" Eduard retorted with a hint of playfulness in his eyes. Juliana joined in. "So you're not satisfied now?"

Eduard softened his voice. "No, no. I'm just grateful to have met all of you."

Truly, if he hadn't met this group of people, he wouldn't have shown his joyful and childish side. Eduard was sincerely thankful for this encounter.

His words made everyone feel overwhelmed with emotion as they looked around at the love and friendship surrounding them. Eve held Lauren's hand tightly despite standing on the edge of the group; she felt envious yet bitter about her own relationship with her sister - how much of it was genuine?

Eve wasn't foolish after all.
