She realizes that she can’t continue to hide and could only turn around to face him and smiles awkwardly.
“President Smith, do you want to eat some apples?”
“Yes.”
Lily didn’t expect him to be so direct. She then picks up a knife to peel the skin.
It is very awkward!
Had she known that it would be so awkward to face President Smith, she wouldn’t have agreed to come with Leigh.
The atmosphere in the kitchen is awkwardly silent until Louis speaks, “Lily, are you avoiding me because of what happened?”
He actually feels uneasy when Lily didn’t contact him during this period, it’s like he is missing her naggings.
Furthermore, he can’t go to the office due to his health conditions.
Once he says this, Lily thinks about the kiss at the bathroom and becomes even more awkward, “No, it’s because of the work at the office, plus that Richard didn’t make any moves and I’m curious what he is waiting for.”
After cutting the apple in half, Lily changes the subject, “I’m here today to discuss an issue with President Smith. With regards to Richard, what do you think he is waiting for?”
Louis takes the apple and calmly says, “He’s waiting for the most opportune time. Apart from the original shares of those shareholders, his and yours are about the same. But he didn’t accumulate much; most of them are in my father’s hands.”
His words are profound and Lily only understands after a while.
Lily says, “His ill intentions are well known to all, Master Smith wouldn’t give him the shares.”
After saying, she thinks of something and becomes very nervous, “Do you think that Richard will harm Master Smith if he becomes desperate?”
“He wouldn’t dare even if he wants to.” Louis says calmly but his eyes are intense, “If any members of the Smith family dares to harm my father, I’ll disband the family!”
Lily understands that he’s a man of his words.
Louis was adopted and raised by Master Smith and had long regarded him as his father.
But Lily couldn’t understand why such a talented man like Louis was hated so much by his parents and abandoned by them.
What would he be like if he didn’t meet Master Smith?
As she ponders on this, she looks at him again and Lily’s heart starts to ache, she sighs and changes the topic, “Then President Smith, can you tell me what do you intend to do?”
“No.”
Lily is stunned, “What? No plans?”
“Yes, I’ll counter it when it happens.” Louis sees her shocked state and laughs inside him. “Additionally, you have gotten used to the duties as a director and your adaptation abilities are very strong. Even if something happens to me, I believe that you can handle it. At that time when I was in a coma after the accident, wasn’t the work at the company all done by you?”
From convincing her to go to Turkey, to making her a manager of the special department, and to her methods of dealing with issues after taking over the company, he took note of it all and had witnessed her changes.
This woman is like a buried pearl. So long as the sand is removed, she will be able to shine.
He is different from John Dawn.
John likes to hide Lily and let her stay comfortably in a cage, not letting her suffer, but Louis would let her do what she likes, letting her realize her potential.
Rather than being sheltered, it is better for her to fight for her success.
He admits that he is using Lily to distract the Smith family’s members but he has devoted much effort into nurturing her.
And she has not let him down.
“President Smith, please don’t have these inauspicious thoughts.” Lily doesn’t like to listen to these and frowns, “Don’t listen to the naysayers. Your leg is fine, and you just need to recuperate further.”
“The servants hired by Mr. Lewis aren’t reliable. This time I’ll hire some better ones for you.”
“You should also go out for a stroll. Being cooped up at home isn’t good for you.”
