She Is A CEO

What Arthur said almost proved how little hope they had in finding her. There were almost two hundred thousand Americans of Athegate origin in Chicago, and Arthur did not even know Lucia's aunt's full name or other detailed information. Searching for them was like finding a needle in a vast ocean.

"Arthur, are you really dating Miss Webb?" Bailey bantered him.

Arthur had nothing to answer him. He had no intention to gain a wider knowledge of who Auntie Esmae was, nor had he ever imagined that he would lose contact with Lucia.

The stone that was pressing his heart became even heavier.

"Don't worry, Arthur. At least we know that Lucia and Theodore are safe. You saw someone pick them up the day you video-chatted with her, right?" Sophie was only trying her best to console him. Arthur nodded. If he didn't know that, he wouldn't be sitting at home now.

"Right, Arthur. It's always busy during Christmas and the New Year's holiday. Though you cannot get in touch with them, it doesn't mean they are lost." Douglas's young face was clouded with worries. He adored Arthur the most, and he hated to see him like that.

"Arthur, Douglas is right. It took us so long to finally see each other. Don't let your paranoia ruin our time. I heard Miss Webb is quite smart, and the child is a highly intelligent genius. They can surely protect themselves. It would be a total waste of time if you keep on fantasizing and worrying. Tonight, we should have some drinks and enjoy our time, okay?" Bailey finally said something soothing.

Arthur stopped frowning.

Once Edwin noticed it, he interjected, "Count me in."

"How dare you!" Sophie, who was most concerned with Edwin's health condition, glared at him when she heard his words.

Though Arthur was worried, he believed Lucia and Theodore were capable enough to protect themselves. To make his family feel better, he also had some drinks.

At night, Edwin and Sophie were chatting, but their topic eventually shifted to Arthur.

"Arthur is too concentrated. All these years, once he likes something, he would grow fonder and fonder of it. Nothing can talk him out of it." When he was talking about Arthur, the look on Edwin's face was mixed with both concern and affection.

"I know," Sophie answered quietly. Though Bailey was constantly bothered by women, it was quite impossible for him to be impressed, which was rather a relief for them.

Edwin put his arms around Sophie's and asked her seriously, "Do you really think Lucia is trustworthy?"

It was not strange that Edwin should have such concerns. Lucia was complicated. She lived on with a sense of hatred. Meanwhile, Arthur had the ability to help her. Edwin was worried that Arthur would be taken advantage of.

"It's okay you don't believe Arthur, but don't you believe me?" Sophie glanced at him and answered calmly.

When she was still working in the company, Sophie was responsible for human resources. She had keen eyes and seldom made mistakes in selecting people.

Edwin's doubts went away after hearing just a few of her words. Then he continued, "There must have been something wrong with Miss Webb."

Of course, Sophie was aware of that, but what made her feel more bitter was that, Arthur pretended to be okay to comfort his family members.

"Edwin, though we have only limited resources, I think you should try to ask around and see if there's any information about Lucia and Theodore. What if we happened to find them?" Sophie said to Edwin. "I have already made a call. After all, Theodore is our first grandson," answered Edwin.

Hearing that, Sophie hugged her husband even tighter.

'Lucia, Theodore, where are you?'

Downstairs, the four sons of the Davies family were drinking and talking. At first, the atmosphere was good, but as time went by, it became a little bit intense. Arthur, the one who seldom drank, was drinking the most.

The other three were aware that he was only trying to intoxicate himself. The wines that were worth hundreds of thousands were treated like normal beverages. They were drunk one after another until eventually, Sophie and Edwin were wakened.

The next day, when the Davies family was still asleep, Arthur boarded the flight to Chicago by himself. As Christmas was coming, he didn't want to bother his family anymore. When he was staring at the thick clouds, the worries in his heart multiplied.

After he arrived in Chicago, he directly headed to the Francis Residence. The Francis, the biggest gang in Chicago, were his old friends. They were the most appropriate ones to help him look for Lucia. Arthur expressed his intention after a small talk with his friend, Percy Francis, whom he hadn't seen for a long time. Seeing that Arthur's mind was occupied, Percy understood him and immediately sent his people to look for information about Lucia. He wanted to have a further conversation with Arthur, but all he got was Arthur's back. Arthur had gone to look for Lucia with his people.

"He never cared for anyone like this..." Percy sighed when he saw Arthur rush off.

As Christmas was around the corner, everyone seemed filled with joy on the road. Arthur and Joel, one of Percy's men, were driving through each block to check if there was any breakthrough, but they got nothing. It was not because Percy's men didn't work hard on it, but because the information Arthur offered was too scanty.Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

"Master Arthur, it's already afternoon..." Joel, who had spent a whole day searching with Arthur, couldn't help reminding him when the clock hit six.

Arthur said nothing while sitting in the back seat looking out of the window as if he wouldn't stop until he found who he wanted to find.

"Master Arthur..." Joel reminded Arthur again when Arthur didn't respond to him.

"Send me to the airport." At last, Arthur shifted his eyes and said in a cold voice.

"What about Master Percy..." Joel did not expect that he would ask to go to the airport.

"I will tell him. Just send me to the airport and go home. Christmas eve is coming." Arthur did not want to bother his friend anymore.

"Alright," Joel answered and drove him to the airport. Arthur took the latest flight and went back to New York.

Lucia was his woman. It was impossible that he could not find her!
