"Didn't you say you'd come and see me when thing is all over? Why did you take that long?" Louis interrupts, and his eyes look dark.
Leigh shudders.
"Oh, yes." Leigh stammers, "I just, just had a meeting with the managers."
Seeing that Leigh doesn't look right, Lily looks up at the central air conditioner and wonders, "It's not too cold. Why are you shaking, Mr. Leigh?"
Leigh rubs his arms. "I feel cold. Maybe I'm weak."
"..."
Louis feels uncomfortable watching them having a good talk, and interjects, "I sent message to Meghan to send Lily back, so you take the car to the office."
"What about you, President Smith?" asks Lily.
"I have some business to attend to, and Leigh will take me home later."
"That will do." Lily no longer refuses.
She wants to go back to work. Since Louis calls Meghan to take her back, it will save her a lot of time.
"Louis, she is the acting President of the Smith Group. She is President Lily." Leigh jokes, "How can you keep calling her Miss Lily? It sounds a bit estranged."
When Lily heard this, she quickly waves her hand and says nervously, "No, it's good for President Smith to call me Miss Lily! Besides, I can't afford to be called President Lily. President Smith, Mr. Leigh, I'm leaving now."
As Lily turns to leave, Louis suddenly chuckles, "President Lily, come on."
Lily stumbles and nearly falls over when she hears this.
It’s killing her! Why does she feel strange to be called President Lily by Louis?
She walks faster and is soon out of sight.
Leigh laughs when Lily looks awkward. "Louis, she is so funny, I can't stop laughing! Maybe she freaked out when you called her "President Lily", and you scared her so much that she almost ran."
Louis gives him a chilly look. "Laugh again if you dare?"
"I'm not laughing. I just had a facial cramp." Leigh coughs, tactfully changing the subject. "Daniel and Justin are in the private room. Louis, I'll push you through."
"No, thank you." Louis pats his hand away, and runs the wheelchair by himself.
Leigh is stunned.
Why can Lily push the wheelchair for him, but he can’t? Is Louis so disgusted of him?
As if he senses something, Leigh quickly flips on his headset and whispers, "Hey, Harley, check which room Louis has been to just now and what did he do. Send the situation to me on messages."
He feels he is missing out on something wonderful.
When Louis opens the door and enters the private room, he sees Daniel and Justin chatting. He does not know what they are talking about that makes Daniel, who has always been expressionless, smiles a little.
"What are you talking about?" Louis asks with a smile. Only when he gets together with Daniel and Justin and Leigh, does he put his guard down and look relaxed, "And it makes Daniel laugh?"
"Louis." Justin, seeing Louis come in by himself, gets up from the sofa at once. "Where's Leigh?"
"Well, here I am!” Leigh emerges from behind Louis and explains, "I just tried to push Louis here. Louis didn't let me do it. I'm not to be blamed!"
