A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure novel Chapter 22

Lily sends a message to Jason that her minister has a birthday party, and she wants him to pick her up when the party ends.

Jason really declines her, saying that he has something to do at night and asks her to take a taxi back.

That’s what Lily has expected!

If he comes to pick her up, the plot he and Lucy designed could not be carried out.

Lily doesn't say anything. After getting off work, she takes a taxi with several colleagues to the hotel. Many colleagues come early and chat together. The room is very lively.

After a while, the minister comes.

There are several people around the minister. In addition to a vice president who is resident in the company, as well as executives in other departments. Lucy is naturally there, and Lily and Lucy happen to see each other.

"Lily, come and sit at this table." Lucy says with a smile, "I heard that you are very good in French. I am learning French recently, and I want to ask you for advice."

"Well." Lily also smiles and sits down without hesitation.

There is a man sitting in the seat next to Lily. She glances a few more times at him and finds that he is not an executive, but Kent in the same department as her. His uncle is an executive in a certain department.

In an instant, Lily understands Lucy’s purpose.

This Kent is probably the one arranged by Lucy.

Kent greets Lily in a friendly way, and Lily is calm and nods.

Halfway through the meal, everyone begins to drink.

Lucy is like a gentle, kind and good leader. The vice-president is here, so she has to behave herself. She can chat with everyone and can always make Lily drink.

Lily doesn't refuse it. and she drinks what she is asked, but she has prepared in advance. Lily keeps the wine in her mouth, and spits it on the sponge in her sleeve when no one sees her.

Otherwise, according to Lucy's tricks, the wine and alcohol taking turns, she might vomit before she is drunk.

"Mr. Louis!"

Someone shouts, and then the people on the table stand up one after another.

Lily glances back. She did not expect Louis to come. Today, he is wearing more formal clothes than before. Chloe, who is holding him, is wearing a glamorous red dress. They seem to just leave a reception.

"Just take it easy. I just happened to have something to deal with here. When I learned that Minister Leon's birthday party is also held in this hotel, I come to have a drink."

Louis smiles faintly, picks up a glass of wine and toasts to Minister Leon.

Everyone toasts to Louis, so does Lily.

When she just comes to Louis, he says in a low voice only they can hear, "Half a million for you to accompany me to the cooperation is too bad for you. I will give you an extra gift."

Then, Lily feels that her buttocks are patted, and she is so scared that she can’t hold the wine glass. She puts her hand back to touch it, and she finds a hard card, then she quickly grabs it in her hand.

When she looks up again, Louis has already taken Chloe away from the private room.

With people gathering around, Lily's heart is beating wildly. When she sits down by the table, she sees what Louis has given her. It is a room card.

The hotel is frequently visited by Jason and Lucy, and even the room is also where they usually live.

The phone buzzes and she got a message.

“Thirty minutes later, Lucy will receive a message from Jason.”

What?

Although Lily learns translation, her logical thinking is not very good. She knows that it must be sent by Louis, but it is too short for her to understand.

After looking at the room card, Lily finally understands. Louis told her that he would lead Lucy to the hotel, and she only has 30 minutes to prepare for anything.

Lily sees that time is running out, so she toasts to Lucy instead. When she sees Lucy drinks the wine, Lily only drinks a few glasses to make her cheek blush, and the rest is poured on the sponge.

After drinking for a while, she pretends to be careless and falls directly into Kent's arms.

"Lily, are you okay?" Kent takes the opportunity to touch her waist, but he pretends to be a gentleman and asks, "Are you drunk?"

"No." Lily mumbles, trying to get out of his arms, but couldn't get up.

Lucy drank a lot of wine, and her face blushing, but she remains awake. She sees Lily couldn't get up in Kent's arms, and gives Kent a wink.

Kent then takes the opportunity to take Lily away.

Soon after they left, the party is almost over, and people leave one by one. Lucy also leaves. Minister Leon asks someone to send her, but she happens to receive a message from Jason.
