Lily lowers her head slightly to peek through the supercar.
She quickly finds the man in the driver's seat is really Leigh, since there’s no special film on the window of his car.
There’s a woman sitting in the passenger seat who is holding an unscrewed bottle of mineral water in her slender hand.
Lily is being speechless.
Leigh is so careless that he even lets his wife sit on a supercar when she’s pregnant.
However, Lily frowns when she happens to see there’re tattoos with a row of tiny black English letters on the finger of the woman, and her wrist looks thin.
‘What?
When did Jessie get her tattoos?’ Lily thinks to herself.
Anyway, they’re driving in the street, so Lily can’t get out of her car to greet them. Intending to greet them with a call, she takes out her phone and rolls down the window.
Just as the window is rolling down and the phone is on the line, Lily sees the woman in the passenger seat approach Leigh and give him a kiss. She has long dull cyan hair and she isn’t Jessie at all.
"Shoot." Lily darkens with a curse.
She calls Leigh two or three times, but he doesn’t answer the phone. Gritting her teeth secretly, Lily guesses that Leigh has already pulled her number into the blacklist.
Looking around, Lily picks up a car decoration and she wants to hit Leigh's car with it.
But she doesn’t expect the green light is on at this time.
When Lily looks out of the window, Leigh has already driven his supercar away.
Lily rushes into starting her car, since the horns of the cars behind her are honking. She does wanna chase Leigh's car, but a call from the assistant of HS Company is coming to check where she is.
Thinking of it's her big day to go to the new company, Lily can do nothing but give up on chasing Leigh.
"Bastard. I won’t let you go so easily when I’m free."
Lily thinks Leigh has straightened up, but she’s obviously wrong. His wife is pregnant while he still hangs out with another woman.
Lily arrives at the CBD about twenty minutes later.
The CBD in Yorkshire is quite large. There’re loads of financial companies from south to north. As a giant in the financial industry, the Smith Group is located in the south of the CBD, while the other companies are in the north.
After finding where HS Company is located, Lily drives her car into the underground parking lot.
The companies in the north aren’t large-sized. Except few companies like the Smith Group, the others don’t have their own buildings. Instead, they have to share an office building. So, there are a lot of people coming and going in the building every day.
Most of the companies start working at 9 or 10 a.m. So, when the elevator reaches the first floor, a cluster of people will pour in.
Lily is squeezed backwards, so she puts her bag in front of her body to protect the babies in her belly.
When the elevator is rising slowly, several women standing beside her are gossiping and they seem to come from the same company.
"Hey, you know what, the CEO of our company has changed."
"I’ve heard of it. It's said that the new one is a mixed-race man whose family business is in Europe."
"A mixed-race man? Then he must be handsome. I can't wait to see him."
"Don't think so much. I heard that he had a girlfriend. What’s more, do you know who the new vice president he appointed is? Peter said that the new vice president would come here, and he also noticed us to pay attention to our appearances."
"Who on earth is the new vice president?"
"It’s Lily, who worked in the Smith Group earlier. Surprise?"
"Why?" Another woman says in jealousy, "I heard that she had a history with Mr. Smith. She can’t be the girlfriend of the new CEO, right? She would be so lucky if she were."
"Well, it wouldn’t be that easy for a translator to change her profession, would it? I’m wondering why she got the position so easily."
