My Mommy Is A CEO

In the afternoon, Blake and the others came out from the union. They seemed to be laughing with Robin, but in fact the two parties had not reached an agreement. After they left, Robin informed Arthur of the negotiation process by phone.

Arthur didn’t relax after hanging up the phone, and Lucia knew the result was not satisfactory.

“Did the negotiation fail?” Lucia put down the document in her hand, looked at Arthur sitting on the sofa and said.

Arthur lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then turned to Lucia and said,

“Mr. Harrington said that they are very firm, saying that Stable Growth is a subsidiary of the company, and only here can they recover the rights they deserve.”

“I expected it a long time ago…” Lucia whispered, with a look of worry on her brows.

“Since Mr. Harrington can’t talk, let me do it.” Arthur didn’t want to see Lucia’s sad look.

“No!” Lucia immediately refused, “It can’t affect you. This turmoil can only stop at Webbex Group.”

Arthur stood up and said nonchalantly, “I don’t care.”

“But I care!” Lucia also stood up. The two were connected, and Arthur was worried about Lucia. But how could Lucia not worry about him? She said firmly,

“Arrears of wages is not an honorable thing. The media is eager for you to participate, and the situation will be even more difficult to control. I will not let the evil behind the scenes succeed. Generally, workers have a milder attitude towards the union, but their attitude is so firm. It seems like it was agreed a long time ago, maybe someone is instigating behind it. Arthur, Kyle is the most rigorous. You can ask him to check for me.”

“Well, I’ll arrange it right away, and I won’t be afraid of the impact. Lucia, don’t worry too much.” Arthur reassured.

But three hours had passed before Arthur’s comforting words were spoken. The city’s evening news reported today’s protest in front of the Webbex Group, and other media magazines also reported it, but the influence was far less than that of the evening news. Well, for a while, everyone knew about Webbex Group’s wage arrears.

Just after the evening news, someone from the city government office called to ask Lucia to talk tomorrow. After Lucia hung up, her mood fell to the bottom.

“I’ll go with you tomorrow.” Arthur would never let Lucia suffer alone.

Lucia’s mind became more composed after the incident, so she couldn’t help but smile slightly,

“Arthur, we’ve been through a lot of storms and rough times. This is just a minor setback. I’m only upset because I’m worried about the company’s reputation. Once everything is cleared up, we can hold a press conference to restore our image. It’s not a big deal,” Lucia said.

Arthur couldn’t help but feel heartbroken at her words. He gently brushed Lucia’s hair off her shoulder and whispered softly, “Why are you comforting me?”

“Because you’re worried about me, of course I have to comfort you,” Lucia replied with shining eyes. “But your woman isn’t so weak.”

Lucia was always strong-willed.

“That’s right, my Lucia is the strongest,” Arthur couldn’t contain his love for her and expressed it in his gentle embrace.

The autumn night was chilly with winds blowing outside but inside a construction site shed in the suburbs, it was lively as people sat around eating and drinking while chatting happily.

“The evening news reported on our situation after all! Blake, now Webbex Group won’t dare not pay us back!” one worker raised his glass towards Blake.

“Carlos had a good idea; he knew that Webbex Group would suppress those reports so he suggested we go straight to the TV station instead! And sure enough it worked!” Blake laughed heartily as he slapped another young man next to him who looked slightly drunk too.

“Yeah Carlos has only been here for a short time but he really knows what he’s doing! If it wasn’t for him telling us that Stable Growth is actually under Webbex Group, then we’d still be running around like headless chickens!” an older worker praised Carlos endlessly.

Carlos himself had also had quite some drinks by now; looking rather carefree as he burst into laughter saying,

“This is what I should do! You guys don’t need to be so polite with me – with Branch of Davonnis backing up Webbex Group, they have plenty of means at their disposal. Although we’ve already made it onto TV reports, we can’t let our guard down yet. No matter how they try to reconcile things between us, once we bite down hard on Webbex Group, everyone will get their salaries back!”

“Yes! We must remain resolute in our stance. Tomorrow, let’s go make trouble again until they give us what’s rightfully ours!” Carlos’ words stirred up even more passion within these already drunken workers who raised their glasses high while shouting loudly.

Carlos smiled slyly while holding his drink; there was an air of disdain and cunning hidden deep within his eyes.

The next morning at six o’clock, Lucia woke up early. She carefully got out of bed and saw that Arthur was still sleeping, which made her breathe a sigh of relief. However, when she came out of the bathroom, she found that Arthur was already sitting on the edge of the bed waiting for her. In the morning, Arthur always had a lazy feeling about him when he just woke up. His hair hung over his forehead and added a touch of childishness to his handsome features.

“I was being so careful not to wake you up,” Lucia said helplessly.

Arthur smiled and said that as soon as Lucia moved, he would feel it and wake up naturally.

“Are you worried they will protest again today?” he asked.

“It’s not worry; it’s certainty. I plan on finding the leader myself today and getting to the bottom of things,” Lucia said as she walked over to Arthur and put her arm around his shoulder.

Arthur held onto Lucia’s slender waist and lightly smelled her sweet scent before saying softly,

“Go ahead. As soon as Kyle finds anything out, I’ll let you know.”

Lucia nodded but couldn’t help changing from a smile to resignation on her face. She punched Arthur’s shoulder playfully while pouting,

“If you’re letting me go, then let go!”

“I don’t want to,” replied Arthur like an obstinate child.

Lucia couldn’t help but laugh at this response before finally extricating herself from his embrace after some time had passed. As expected, when she arrived at work in the early dawn light, there were already workers gathered outside the company gate again. Parking her car by the side of road, Lucia walked towards them alone.

As Lucia approached step by step towards where people were gathered together, some began noticing her presence immediately, and without exception, everyone who laid eyes upon her seemed mesmerized by how stunningly beautiful she looked.

They even unconsciously parted ways for Lucia to pass through without any hindrance whatsoever. Finding the leader wasn’t difficult; all one had to do was look for someone surrounded by others. Blake was easy enough to spot, and Lucia walked straight up behind him and asked nonchalantly,Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

“Excuse me, but are you Blake Mills?”
