Let's Get Married

Lily’s hand stiffens, so do her face, “Hello, Frank.”

Carlos casts his eyes on the situation and says, “Looks like you guys are old friends?”

Frank laughs boldly and waves his hand, “Not really a friend. We barely met a few times back in the college and….”

Before it ends, Frank stops and looks at Lily earnestly.

Lily doesn’t know what his purpose is and simply says, “It isn’t the good memory.”

Frank’s expression changes slightly, but manage to fake a smile, “Yes, but it’s all in the past.”

The atmosphere in the room becomes a little awkward by this inexplicable conversation. Carlos, who is a lawyer with a keen sense, feels that they aren’t in a good term and hints Frank to take a sit. “Then let’s not bother to introduce each other, have a sit please.”

Carlos and Frank skip to the topic instantly. Lily, as being told, doesn’t do anything but sit beside Carlos and records their whole conversation specifically.

Frank, as the representative of Bao Cloud Group, doesn’t have anything to negotiate further about Li’s compensation. Carlos’ main purpose this time is only to see if there’s any better solution for both side to reconcile.

“Carlos, you also know that Li has worked for us for half of his life, but he merely is a prospector, not a manager. Of course, you may think that I’m ruthless. But in today’s society, we need to consider every single benefit. He wanted us to compensate him in approx. one hundred thousand. If he beg us, this isn’t completely impossible. But this is happening now; the group is not willing to give. ” Carlos says while stirring the tea with a smile and glowing puffy face of him, as if this wasn’t a big deal.

Lily recalls Li missing finger. Comparing with Frank’s smile, she somehow couldn’t smile.

Just because of this, Li has been disabled for the rest of his life. However, he says it as if it was a small issue.
