She Is A CEO

Chapter 1130 Private Conversation

Suddenly, Eve felt extremely selfish.

"It's not too late to realize it now," Arthur seemed to sense Eve's emotions and his voice softened, no longer as sharp. "As his friend, don't blame me for always taking his side. In my opinion, your relationship can't withstand any more damage. It's not because Lauren isn't firm enough but because of you."

"I know," Eve silently lowered her eyes and understood the meaning behind Arthur's words. If they really encountered obstacles, she would probably be the first one to back down...

"Don't let him keep giving and pushing forward alone. Like Lucia said, stop feeling sorry for yourself. You may see yourself as a burden but in Lauren's eyes, he sees you as a treasure. Love cannot only come from one side. You should also respond and make choices." Arthur slowly got to the point.

Eve bit her lip and felt a strong dryness in her throat.

"I know your health is not good but that doesn't affect your brain function, right?" Ignoring Eve's fragile state on the verge of tears, Arthur continued firmly, "I don't believe that since coming to Athegate for so long you have never taken the initiative to understand who your sister really is or why she ended up in this situation today. Everyone should take responsibility for their mistakes regardless of whether they are related by blood or not. You cannot allow Nia to use Lauren as a pawn in reversing fate. At most he just loves you. He has no obligation nor does he need help Nia do anything." Upon hearing this, Eve couldn't hold back her tears anymore especially after finding out that Lauren had been looking for doctors all along just for her sake. How had she repaid him?

"Soon enough, you will have to make a choice between Lauren and Nia; Nia is unrepentant with countless wrongdoings under her belt. She will definitely receive corresponding punishment. I hope that you can think clearly about where your stance lies. Whether it's truly advising your sister towards repentance or forcing Lauren repeatedly cover up for her wrongdoing while aiding an evil cause, you need early consideration."

"I understand," Eve knew that day would come eventually but Arthur's words gave her a heavy blow. Yes...she had always been obediently following along with what was expected of herself regarding her sister. Why couldn't she turn around now?

"There's one more thing," Arthur took a step forward and stood straight in front of Eve. "You can consider it as your last chance for your sister. Of course, whether or not you want to test her is up to you." "How should I do it?" Eve looked up at him with sincerity in her eyes.

"Listen carefully..." Arthur slowly explained his opinion to Eve, ending with the words, "Whether or not to do it is up to you."

Eve bit her lip and hesitated, but Arthur didn't care about her answer.

"Okay, go back to him now. Otherwise he'll say I bullied you." With a light remark, Arthur returned first to his beloved woman's side.

Eve widened her eyes as she heard the teasing tone in Arthur's voice. She shifted her gaze onto Lauren who had been watching her all along. Suddenly feeling lighter on her feet, she wiped away her tear and walked towards him with determination.

As soon as Arthur returned to Lucia's side, she pinched his arm hard and twisted it childishly twice.

"What did you say to make her cry?"

She could clearly see Eve wiping her tears.

Although his arm was burning with pain, he remained calm on the surface and even leaned down slightly towards Lucia's ear while speaking lightly,

"What are you talking about? I'm just going to make you cry."

Lucia blushed instantly at what he said before glaring at him fiercely once again just as Eve approached them.

"Eve." Lauren reached out his hand towards Eve without any nervousness unlike Lucia because he saw that something had changed in Eve's eyes - they were clearer than before.

She placed her hand into Lauren's palm gently while smiling lightly which conveyed a sense of relief within herself. Kane and Juliana exchanged glances between each other since there was an unspoken understanding between husband-wife duo. And Juliana opened her mouth, which broke off from the somewhat eerie atmosphere.

"Lauren," Juliana spoke up breaking off from their conversation abruptly and making everyone look at them curiously. "When are you planning on taking Eve to USA?"

Lauren wasn't sure yet but before he could answer himself, Eve beat him by saying, "In one week."

One week would be enough time for everything that needed doing.

Lauren raised an eyebrow slightly surprised because he thought that Eve wouldn't leave so easily for Nia's sake but then Eve turned around giving him a smile saying,

"I can't let Juliana's kindness go waste either. Besides, I want get better soon too."

No one expected Eve to be so vocal and even call out "Juliana" directly. This one word really softened Juliana's heart.

"Oh my, Eve, you're just too cute!" Juliana never hid her emotions. She reached out and gave Eve a big hug. This time, Eve was truly shy, with a red face but a smile in her eyes.

"Well then, let's get ready quickly," Lucia reminded Eve happily. "But remember, there are some things you need to face head-on and handle well. Don't have any regrets or make things difficult for Lauren." "Okay," replied Eve sweetly and decisively.

Eve's obedience was truly endearing. Lucia couldn't help but reach out and rub her head with a gentle smile. And Eve accepted her affection shyly, carefully nurturing the stirring feeling of this sincere emotion. On the way back home, Lauren couldn't help but ask Eve, "What did Arthur say to you?" Today Lauren had been jealous - how could everyone easily change his beloved Eve?Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

"Lauren, you have a good friend," of course she wouldn't say anything else except give him an ambiguous answer while playfully winking at him.

Seeing the rare coquettish look on Eve's face made Lauren forget to continue questioning further.

Meanwhile on another side of town, Lucia paid dearly for her childish act of pinching Arthur. The next day, she had a rare hangover from the night before and didn't go to work but stayed at home for a day. Knowing that Lucia didn't come into work today, Kane muttered under his breath saying, "That's strange... Lucia didn't drink much last night..."

Over the next two days, Lauren noticed that indeed there were significant changes in Eve.
