She just knew that today is Louis’s birthday, and she doesn’t have time to prepare a gift for him. Thinking that Louis loves the white fungus porridge, she takes the thermos out of her bag and hands it to him.
"Mr. Louis, I don't know today is your birthday, so I didn’t prepare a gift for you. This is white fungus porridge made by my mother. You can take it if you like it, and... Happy birthday."
Lily's slender fingers are lined with the light pink thermos bottle, which makes her hands look like white jade, and it is very pleasing to the eyes.
Louis smiles.
She's such a funny woman. The things she gives to him are always down to earth.
When she sees Louis doesn't take it, Lily is nervous. It is really inappropriate to send him the white fungus porridge. Louis could get whatever he wants.
When she is about to draw back her hands, Louis takes away the thermos bottle in her hands. He says with a light smile, "Thank you, Miss Lily. It's a nice gift. I like it."
A faint pink creeps on Lily's face. "You are welcome."
Louis asks Lily if she has time to go with him. Lily knows that the people he is going to meet are not on the same level with her, so she politely declines.
Later Louis receives a phone call and he has something else to do, so he asks the former property consultant to come over and says, "Just tell her if you make up your mind. I will go first."
Lily nods.
After Louis leaves, Lily is still looking at the apartment brochure and the sand table. Compared with the several ones she discussed with Louis before, Lily still prefers the one on the Splendor Road because of its convenient transportation.
"This one." Lily takes out her credit card and gives it to the property consultant. She wants to register with Coffey’s name, but he took his ID card with him when he left. Lily hands over her own ID card.
The property consultant quickly finishes the procedure in ten minutes.
When Lily signs and sees the payment amount, she is speechless. "Why is it only 100,000 dollars? Did you make a mistake?"
"Mr. Louis says that all the houses you chose would be 90 percent off." says the consultant, "All the buildings here are under the Smith Group, so you just need to pay 100,000 dollars."
She asks Louis to give her a discount. But what's the difference between 90 percent off and give her for free?
Lily asks, "Can I not buy it?"
"Are you not satisfied with this one? You can see some others. I'll tell Mr. Louis." The property consultant wants to call Louis, but Lily stops her.
"Well, I'll sign it." Lily quickly signs her name on several documents and hands them back.
She’s already refused it once, and it would be hypocritical if she refuses it again, so she might take it. Besides, Louis is right. She works so hard for him that she deserves something better.
The house has been decorated, so she can move in directly.
After Lily finishes everything, she drives back to the apartment. On the way back, she calls Daisy and asks her to pack up her things. Next week, she would go to help her move house with Coffey. Daisy does not refuse her.
Jessie hasn't come back yet and Lily is in the apartment alone. She has put away all the pickled cabbage she brought from Daisy. After she takes a shower, she wants to watch a movie to relax herself, but she then receives several documents from her colleagues.
Lily feels annoyed.
She is on vacation, but the result is she changes a place to work!
When Lily finishes her work and looks up, it is dark now. And it is after seven o'clock in the evening. Then her phone rings.
Lily is getting angry. She answers the phone impatiently, "Who's that?"
"Miss Lily. It's Miss Meghan." Meghan says, "Are you free now?"
“What can I do for you?
