She Is A CEO

"Someone called me," Theodore murmured. Then he took out his phone, deftly clicked the "accept", and pressed the "speaker on".

"Boy, where are you?" Arthur and Sophie heard a crisp and soft voice from the phone.

"Mom, I am staying with Uncle. I didn't tell you because you were too busy. Don't worry. He will send me back after a while," Theodore lied with an innocent face.

"Well." Lucia's knitted brow became slightly smooth again. She was so anxious when hearing that her boy was not in the lounge. Fortunately, he was safe.

However, who was the uncle?

"Mom knows you have your own take. But you need to be careful about everything and everyone you confront. Right?" Arthur felt strange about the dulcet female voice. It seemed that something tugged at his heartstrings.

"I know, mom. Goodbye." Theodore hung up after responding with a few words sweetly. He then raised up his face and saw that Sophie was looking at him smilingly.

"Hey, I don't know about your name. And who's your mom?" Sophie asked him in a light voice.

"My name is Theodore," Theodore replied.

"Nice name..." Sophie didn't hide her liking for him and asked, "How about your mom?"

"The woman with you that day, humph?" Arthur said coldly. He wasn't like his mother who was easily influenced.

"Huh?" Theodore tilted his head and explained, "She is my mom's assistant."

It wasn't she?

Arthur paused and understood why the voice made him feel strange.

"My mom is Lucia. Arthur, would you like to meet with her later?" As soon as Theodore introduced his mother, he seized the opportunity to set him up with his mom. He never forgot his aim here. "Later? I never say I will send you back." Arthur knew Theodore had his own way of "lobbying", and he wouldn't get trapped easily.

Perceiving his impatience, Sophie turned and said to Arthur with her eyes squinting,

"Arthur, it's dangerous for such a boy to be outside alone. You won't leave him alone, will you?"

Arthur was familiar with the "threat" in Sophie's words, thus he kept silent and agreed.

Sophie smiled with satisfaction because she knew her son had compromised. And she asked Arthur to get some snacks and chatted with Theodore on the crouch. What she asked most was Lucia. From the chat, Sophie knew that Theodore had no idea about his father, and his mother was always single.

Arthur must have a relationship with them!

Time passed by quickly. Sophie liked Theodore due to his smartness and tactfulness, but Arthur didn't play nice to him and wanted to send him back as soon as possible.

Arthur came to his garage with Theodore. Without Sophie's supervision, Arthur lowered his head and asked the child next to him before they got in the car, "What are you planning?"

"Arthur, I've told you that I hope you can pretend to be my mom's boyfriend." Theodore looked up and replied sincerely.

Arthur said nothing. He opened the back door and put the child into it. Then he sat on the driver's seat, driving downtown.

During this time, Theodore didn't bother Arthur but contacted Lucia to take him later. While listening to Theodore's phone call, Arthur unconsciously raised his eyebrow.

When Lucia got the call, she was still busy. But it was her baby boy coming back, she definitely needed to take him herself. Especially, she also wanted to know who was the uncle because people were sophisticated now. What if he was a scoundrel who merely looked kind?

There were still ten minutes left before Theodore arrived, but Lucia had waited for him in front of Jibillion Inc. After a while, she saw a black Rolls-Royce Phantom stop on the side of the road. Lucia threw a glance at it hesitantly. But in the next second, she saw the back door of the car was opened where Theodore got off slowly!

"Theodore." Lucia raised her voice unintentionally and came to him smilingly.

"Mommy!" Theodore rushed towards her and put himself into her arms. After all, he had not stayed with his mother for a long time.

Lucia fondly gave Theodore a kiss on his forehead and said softly, "I'm so worried about you. Please tell me next time."

Theodore understood that Lucia did feel worried about him and nodded immediately, promising that he would never do it again.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

"Where is the uncle? Mommy wants to thank him." Lucia was satisfied with his attitude, but she didn't forget "the uncle" he mentioned before.

"There..." Theodore pointed at the Rolls-Royce Phantom. However, when Lucia looked at it, she found the window wasn't lowered. It seemed that he didn't attempt to meet her.

Lucia smiled and ignored his "discourtesy". She held Theodore in her arms and bowed down slightly to the direction of the driver's seat, expressing her gratitude for looking after her son.

As she raised her head, she found the car had left. She cared less about it and turn around, chatting with Theodore, and returned to Jibillion Inc.

Sophie was waiting for Arthur to return home. She was really interested in the situation of their meeting. However, she was unsatisfied with the answer and stared at Arthur, "You just stay in the car? Even no greeting?"

"I don't know her," Arthur replied casually, sitting down on the crouch languidly.

"Arthur, the child was four. I remember...you are sent to Athegate for market research 5 years ago. Is it possible..." Sophie didn't think it was a guess. She was almost certain about it.

That was right. Arthur had been to Athegate 5 years ago. At that time, he was still a student at MIT who was sent here to do market research for the preparation of the Branch of Davonnis. He stayed here for about half a month, and....

Arthur frowned tightly.
