Let's Get Married

Lily returns to the company at once after sending her parents to home.

It is noon by the time she arrived. Crystal hands her the files of the meeting earlier today and lowers her voice, saying, “You know what, Julia was furious when I said you took a day off. I thought you were absence today.”

Took a day off?

Lily is surprised. So many things have happened in the last few hours that she doesn’t even have time to ask for permission. However, who have helped her?

In a flash, Lily thinks of that cold-faced.

Besides Rex, nobody has such ability.

Just so, Crystal becomes a thorn in her flesh.

“I might have offended her.” Lily replies helplessly while holding up the dossier files on the table, “Crystal, I’m off to the meeting with Carlos.”

Crystal makes an OK gesture and says, “Okay, I’ll covered things up for you.”

When Lily enters the meeting room, Carlos and Mary have been there. Carlos acknowledges her presence but doesn’t say anything and starts the meeting right away.

After the meeting, Carlos suddenly says, “You may leave now and Lily, please stay for a while.”

Mary is stunned and gives Lily an alarm look. Even if she is unwilling to leave, there’s nothing she can do but only be obedient.

Only two of them left in the conference room. Lily is briefing through the file earnestly when Carlos asks, “You are Lily, right?”

Lily freezes and nods, “Yes.”

Carlos put down the pen on the table and leans back, giving a casual posture but is on a sense of oppression, “Have I ever told you that I didn’t like any personal matter involved in the work?”

It is hard for Lily to neglect those words, “Yes.”
