She Is A CEO

Poppy came back to her senses and pushed Jacob's friend away. She glared at him before stumbling back to the private box. When she got inside, she snatched a glass from a man and drank it. 'Jacob, you make me do it!'

Tasting the strong liquor, Poppy had an idea of her own.

The next day, Juliana and Sophie went out together. As Juliana told Sophie she would have a routine checkup at Women's and Children's Hospital, Sophie made a suggestion.

"Julia, I know a doctor at Kindred Hospital. How about we go there today?"

Juliana said hurriedly as soon as she heard this, "Women's and Children's Hospital has my medical record. It's better not to change hospitals."

"Yes?" Sophie observed Juliana's expression, murmured and didn't insist on her request. The two were then sent by Jan to Women's and Children's Hospital. The examination that day went very well. When Juliana felt relieved, she heard Sophie say.

"Julia, where are your test results?"

Juliana hesitated, but answered, "Here." After saying that, she handed her test results to Sophie, fixating on Sophie.

Sophie flipped through them and said, "You have a baby bump faster than I expected. How about I take the test results to a doctor I know and let him see if there is something wrong?"

"Mom!" Juliana's reaction was the same as when she left the house in the morning. Now she even reached out to take back the test results from Sophie's hands.

With a feigned calmness on her face, she said, "Don't worry too much. I'm really fine, Also, the fetus is still small now. You can't see anything wrong. Wait until it grows a bit bigger."

Sophie looked at her empty hands, looked up at Juliana, and said, "Don't be so anxious. This is your first pregnancy and you don't know a lot about pregnancy. That's why I am worried about you." "Thanks, but no need to worry about me," Juliana forced a smile and said to Sophie.

"Okay, then, I won't do this. If you feel uncomfortable, you must tell me, got it?" Sophie softly advised.

"OK," Juliana sighed in relief and replied.

Sophie noticed Juliana's reaction and felt worried. Her intuition told her Juliana must be hiding something. Otherwise, why couldn't Juliana go through such a simple test? However, it was not a proper time to nail Juliana's lie now.

On the third day after the checkup, Sophie left for New York and Juliana was relieved.

Sophie had just left that night when Juliana came to the study looking for Arthur.

"Arthur, I want to talk to you about something," Juliana said as she closed the door behind her and came to sit in the chair opposite Arthur.

"Well, go ahead." Arthur put down the documents in his hand and looked at Juliana.

"I know Sophie is worried about me, but she doesn't have to travel a long distance to come back once a month. It's too tiring. Can you tell her to stop doing that? She can just come back when I am nine months pregnant." Juliana hesitated for a while before she told Arthur frankly. She couldn't bear to be frightened by Sophie once a month.

"My mom is in good health. So, don't worry about," Arthur frowned and said to Juliana.

"But I am just in my first trimester. I can't bear to see Sophie travel long distances so frequently. Also, she has her family to take care of in New York, so I think it's better to invite her here when I am about nine months pregnant," Juliana had her reasons.

Arthur stared at Juliana for a while and finally said, "Okay, I get it. I'll talk to Mom."

"Great, then I don't have to feel so guilty." Juliana put on a smile on her gentle face.

"I'll go back to work if there's nothing else. You go to your room and get some rest," Arthur said softly. Juliana obeyed him, got up, and asked Arthur to go to sleep early before going out.

After Juliana left, Arthur remembered what his mother had mentioned to him before she left and felt suspicious.

Picking up his phone, Arthur dialed Sophie's number.

"Mom, you are right. Julia asked me to tell you not to come until the baby is born." Arthur spoke to Sophie in a deep voice after confirming that she had arrived home. "Yes?" Sophie responded, "Since she said so, I'll come back when the baby is born. It's not the time to draw a conclusion, so all you should do is take care of her first." "Hmm," Arthur responded. Then he added, "Is Dad still angry?"

"Yes." Sophie sighed. "I've been asking you to talk to your dad, but you don't do it. Now he changes the subject when I talk about you. It's so hard to tell when his anger can die down."

"It's my fault," Arthur said apologetically. "I'll make a trip back in a few days, and I'll talk to him face to face then."

After a small talk with Sophie, Arthur hung up the phone. At this time, he was not in the mood to read the file, so he continued to stare at the phone screen, which showed the message interface between Lucia and him.

He hadn't seen Lucia for a month or so and wondered how she was doing now.

Previously, when he was at odds with Lucia, Arthur would sneak off to Jibillion Inc to see her, but now he would not. He was afraid that if he did so, he would not be able to refrain from rushing up to her and holding her in his arms. His longing for Lucia gnawed at him.

Arthur was actually happy to learn of Sophie's suspicions. No matter what Juliana's purpose was, if the child was not his, at least he could feel comfortable to show his face to Lucia again. Thus, he was waiting patiently for Juliana's baby to be born.

He hoped Lucia was still willing to wait for him.

Juliana was happy to learn that Sophie would no longer come back home to visit her every month. She thought she would have more time to spend with Kane, but she slowly realized that Kane was getting busier and busier these days. Sometimes he couldn't even meet her for about a week or two, but only contacted her by phone.

Finally, one day, Juliana couldn't refrain from running to Kane's office building to wait for him. She really missed him too much.

During the lunch break, the employees in the Lawyers Building were walking out, and Juliana was standing on the corner, waiting for Kane to appear. Finally, Kane walked out of the building and across the street. Juliana followed him secretly and wanna give him a surprise.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

Kane walked through two blocks and not long after this, he entered a cafe. Juliana smiled. Just when she wanted to follow in and showed her face to Kane, she stopped, because she saw a woman sitting opposite Kane through the transparent glass of the cafe.
