A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure novel Chapter 216

Louis realizes that Lily is having a hard time catching up. He then takes her phone away from her.

“Kent, this is Louis.”

Louis puts Kent on loudspeaker so that Lily could also listen to their conversation.

Lily then listens to their conversation while she eats. Louis simplifies many of the jargons on purpose along the way. In the end, Lily has finally able to catch up to the content of the conversation.

After hanging up the call, Louis returns the phone to Lily, “You hasn’t been involved in the industry before. It is only normal that you don’t understand the jargons. David will send you some relevant information. You will learn from it.”

“Mr. Smith, are you abusing your authority for your personal gain?” David purposely voices out, “If Miss Lily needs information, she should look for it in HZ Group, why should we give her the Smith Group’s?”

“Those information HZ Group has isn’t good enough,” Louis squints his eyes and replies David coldly, “Eat, and speak less.”

Lily knows Louis’s good intention. She sincerely thanks him, “Thank you, Mr. Smith.”

“You’re welcome.”

Lily leave David’s house after chilling at his place after lunch. She has to finish all the information David passes to her as soon as possible.

After Lily Left, Louis is leaving too.

David stops him with a sincere smile on his cheeks, “Mr. Smith, you have already wasted the whole morning today. You might as well spare me a few minutes.”

“What’s the matter?”

David then whistles loudly. Louis sees an ugly German Shepherd run towards them. He quickly pushes David in front of him as a shield with an irritable look.

“Mr. Smith, it is a dog. He hasn’t got much fur,” David says, “Can you take care of him?”

“Pardon?” Louis glares at David coldly.

David quickly explains, “Mr. Smith, this is not an ordinary dog. It is a German Shepherd. It is intelligent, and it can guard your house for you.”

“I have a security system.”

“What about when you go out? It could help you to carry stuff.”

“I have a driver.”

Everything David says gets rejected by Louis. David starts to feel exhausted. Suddenly, he has an idea, “Mr. Smith, did I tell you that Miss Lily gave it a name? It is called Rich.”

“…”

David continues, “Miss Lily wanted to adopt it, but her house doesn’t have a yard. It isn’t suitable to be kept in an apartment either. She named the cat Lucky, and the dog Rich. Don’t you think the names brings good luck?”

Louis dodges the dog emotionlessly when he sees it trying to approach him.

“No.”

He is not interested in taking care of pets.

“Mr. Smith, please think about it again,” David continues persuading Louis, “Miss Lily likes it very much. If you adopt it, you can bring it to visit Miss Lily at her house in the future. I’m sure she would be glad to invite you in for a cup of tea.”

Louis chuckles, “Do you think I need to rely on it to get my cup of tea?”

David strokes his chin and says, “I remember Miss Lily doesn’t really want to spend time with you, don’t you think too, Mr. Smith?”

“…”

Under the persuasion of David, Louis is holding a cage with a German Shepherd puppy and some dog food in it when he leaves David’s house. It looks like a perfect picture, but Louis doesn’t seem very happy.

On his way back home, Louis keeps looking at the cage that he put on the passenger seat. The German Shepherd puppy looks at him and shakes its tail. It’s like it is saying that it wants to come out and play.

Louis looks away and pinches between his brows, “I must be crazy.”

Louis hates animals, but he adopts one now, just because Lily likes them. His limit keeps changing based on her likings.

This is insane!

…

Lily is speechless.

Lily promises herself that she is never going to come out with them again.

When Lily arrives at the office, she starts to process all the documents that have been left on her desk for two days. Her assistant comes in after a while and informs her that she made an appointment for Lily and the person in charge of the Fansian Company this morning.

Lily quickly brings the contract she prepared along with her assistant and heads straight to the coffee shop.

The Fansian Company imported the equipment from D Country, and they are very efficient. However, the price of the equipment is too costly and HZ Group doesn’t really need a large quantity of the product, so they planned to outsource the project to the Fansian Company.

The Fansian Company had collaborated with HZ Group and the Smith Group before, and they had a smooth collaboration back then. When Lily approaches them with a humble attitude, the person in charge makes a call and then signs the contract almost immediately.

The person in charge of the Fansian Company leaves right after he signed the contract and refuses Lily’s offer for lunch. So Lily sends them out from the coffee shop.

When Lily is about to get a cab back to the office, someone calls her name from behind.

There is a woman who dressed elegantly smiling at her. She looks classier than the other women on the street.

“Are you Lily?”

“Yes,” Lily takes a few looks on the woman. She is pretty sure that she hasn’t met the woman before.

“I’m Daniel’s mother,” the elegant woman smiles at her again, “Shall we talk in the coffee shop?”

Daniel’s mother?

Lily doesn’t know how Daniel’s mother knows about her. Out of courtesy, she walks into the coffee shop again with Daniel’s mother and finds a seat beside the window.

After they are seated, Daniel’s mother asks, “I heard that your parents divorced when you are young and that you are taking care of your siblings alone?”

“Yes,” Lily replies calmly.

“It’s great that you enrolled into the University of Newcastle despite the fact that you are born in such a family,” Daniel’s mother stares at Lily in a rather unfriendly look, “And you even get to such a high position now.”
