My Mommy Is A CEO

Nia was about to ask Eve and Lauren how things were progressing when Lauren suddenly barged in. Nia quickly changed her mind and smiled, “I’ve been neglecting Eve lately, so I came to check on her.”

“Is that so?” Lauren asked while looking at Eve.

Eve’s eyes wandered, a blush on her face. She seemed hesitant and unsure of what to say. Nia nudged her arm with an elbow, and she finally responded with a simple “yes.”

Lauren sighed inwardly at the foolish woman before sitting down next to them on the sofa.

Nia felt frustrated as she couldn’t ask what she wanted over the phone but didn’t want to do it in front of Lauren either. She pretended to be concerned about Eve’s health instead, asking how she was feeling while avoiding eye contact with Lauren.

Eve thought her sister cared for her well-being and talked about herself in detail while thanking her for his care.

However, this insincere conversation wouldn’t last long under Lauren’s watchful gaze.

Soon enough, Nia found an excuse to leave; however, before they could go their separate ways, Lauren offered to escort Nia out himself.

Nia raised an eyebrow discreetly as this was unprecedented treatment from him; it seemed like he had started being wary of her.

But there was no point dwelling on it now; all she could do was awkwardly thank him before leaving together towards the elevator.

Lauren walked ahead of them while Eve held hands with her sister intimately behind him. As they passed by his room, the door suddenly opened up by itself! A coquettish voice came from inside, “What took you so long?”

At hearing this voice full of flirtation coming from inside his room made Nia frown deeply as she stared wide-eyed at her sister beside her who looked extremely wronged. Instantly, Eve lowered her head.

Lauren couldn’t see Nia’s expression behind him as he approached the door saying, “Wait for me a bit longer,” then closed it naturally without any hesitation or explanation whatsoever.

He turned around nonchalantly towards the sisters saying, “Let’s go.”

Nia’s expression was absolutely priceless at this moment. She looked incredulously at Lauren, who remained calm and even had a slight smile on his lips. Nia felt like her brain wasn’t functioning properly.

Did she want to ask something?

Nia didn’t dare to speak up and could only smile and say, “Oh, I see you have guests. I’ll just have Eve take me down to the lobby and I’ll get a car back myself.”

“Sure.” This time, Lauren didn’t insist on anything as he pushed the door open in front of Nia’s eyes and entered the room. Before he closed it behind him, she heard him whisper softly, “I’m back.”

As soon as Lauren entered the room, Nia grabbed Eve by her arm with a pale face and headed towards the elevator without saying a word until they reached the lobby where she sternly asked Eve,

“I’m asking you! How come there was a woman in Lauren’s room?!”

Eve’s gaze drifted around uncertainly; of course she knew that voice from earlier belonged to Lucia who intentionally raised her tone so that no one would recognize it was her speaking. She wondered why Lucia did such things.

Seeing Eve looking guilty made Nia instantly furious as she rudely squeezed her arm while asking, “Does he often bring women back?!”

“Nia… you’re hurting me…” Poor Eve said hesitantly while wondering if she should tell her sister that it was Lucia but what happened next left her speechless.

“You stupid fool!” Thinking that Eve had confirmed everything for sure now, Nia gritted her teeth angrily while cursing harshly,

“You can’t even watch over Lauren! What kind of man is he? There must be many women flocking around him all day long but all you know how to do is act high-and-mighty! If you’d slept with him earlier, then maybe your relationship would have lasted longer between you two! But nooo… now look at what happened – all these vixens are crawling into his bed! Do you think he still cares about someone like you?! If he doesn’t care about you anymore, then why would he help me?! You idiot!”

Nia became more and more angry as she scolded, ignoring the passers-by’s sidelong glances and even Eve’s red eyes.

Tears of grievance swirled in her eyes, and Eve, with a look of surprise and injustice, asked,

“Nia, are you just trying to use me to get Lauren to help?”

As the words fell, tears followed and slid down.

Eve’s blunt question instantly woke up Nia, who was in a fit of anger. She realized that she had spoken her true feelings out of anger and saw that people around her had stopped to look at her.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

She quickly grabbed Eve’s hand and led her to a corner. After only a few steps, tears the size of beans were rolling down Eve’s face.

Avoiding the gaze of others, Nia finally calmed down a bit. She looked at Eve’s pitiful appearance with disgust before taking a deep breath and putting on her good sister face again. She took her sister’s hand and sincerely apologized,

“Eve, just now I was too angry and said the wrong thing. Please don’t take it to heart, okay?”

Eve looked at Nia with tears in her eyes, not saying a word, her small mouth stubbornly pursed.

Nia knew that Eve had doubts in her heart, so she immediately explained,

“I was so angry because Lauren has been unfaithful to you, and I also blamed you for not working hard. I didn’t expect that he seemed to be considerate of you, and the two of you confessed your relationship. Behind the scenes, he even brought a woman back. As your sister, how could I not be angry for you!”

Eve’s eyes flickered, but she remained silent.

Nia was getting anxious. Did Eve really start to doubt her? It seemed that ordinary persuasion was useless. She secretly bit her lip, and tears streamed down her face from the pain.
