Let's Get Married

Chapter 48 Cold War Quarrel

When Lily returns to the office, the colleagues have been gossiping her about her bravery of intrusion to the CEO’s office.

When the incident happens, she is anxious and goes upstairs without thinking much. But once again she becomes the subject of their gossip.

However, all of it is just an excuse. Previously, people said that she had a backdoor; a relationship with the superior, but no one dares to say the name. This time, she goes directly to the CEO’s office and still be able to come back safe and sound. It will inevitably bring Rex into this rumor.

Lily looks at those curious yet cautious stares, even Crystal is the same.

She restrains the soreness of her throat and tries to act as usual. The only thing in the world that was as fast as lightning is rumor.

She couldn’t control what others said, but can only turn a cold shoulder.

While sitting on the task chairs, Lily takes a ship of water from the thermos. The warm liquid flows into her stomach. She couldn’t help chilling when thinking of Rex’s cold eyes from just now.

The video has been taken away by Susan. After leaving the office, her face is full of smile. She herself doesn’t think that she was a kind-hearted person. She only gives her for the sake of the child.

Her only concern is that Rex might misunderstand. She explains, corrects, —clarifies, but he barely says a few words to let her out.

Lily sighs in frustration and listlessly lays on the desk, takes out the phone to text Abby—

Lily: You there?

Abby: Yeah.

Lily: I had just provoked Rex, he seems really angry.

Abby: ….I didn’t believe you dare to provoke him. Tell me, what happen? *gossip face emoticon

Lily taps the keyboard with her fingers, roughly describe what had happened today.

Less than half minute after the message is sent, the other party sends bunch of surprised expressions.
