"You hadn't seen him for four to five years, and you were not worried at all. Now it's only been a few months, yet you're worried about him?"
"Things are different this time." Stella says worriedly, "When I'm dreaming during this period, I feel very uncomfortable. I'm afraid that something will happen to him over there. I can't let my son lose his father in the blink of an eye after they just knew each other."
Lily can't help but laugh, "Alright, I will definitely take good care of my future son-in-law. Don't worry."
"So sorry to bother you. Thanks."
After Stella enters the company, Lily leaves and goes to the Lewis Group to find Leigh.
"I am Lily from the HS Company." After arriving at Lewis Group's front desk, Lily says politely, "Please make an appointment with Mr. Leigh for me."
The receptionist looks at her and quickly makes an internal call.
About twenty seconds later, the receptionist apologetically says, "Sorry, Mr. Leigh is not in the company. Since it is late now, Mr. Leigh will probably not come over tonight. Can you come here tomorrow or the day after tomorrow?"
Leigh isn't here?
Lily frowns and thinks for a while before asking, "May I ask where he often goes?"
"I really don't know. I'm just a receptionist."
"Alright, thank you."
When Lily is about to leave, the receptionist is very gossipy and asks carefully, "Ms. Lily, I heard that you were dating Mr. Smith. Is that true? Why did you break up? Are you really with that new mixed-blood CEO of the HS Company?"
Lily's lips twitch as she forces a smile, "Where did you hear these rumors?"
"In the WeChat Moments." The receptionist tells Lily that she has joined several gossip groups of the business circle. Even if she is in the Lewis Group, she can quickly know the things of other companies. "All the discussions in the several groups these days are about you."
"I'm quite curious now. Can I take a look?" Lily asks calmly, "I don't even know this."
The receptionist hesitates for a moment before handing her phone to Lily.
Lily browses those gossip groups and secretly memorizes their names before returning the phone to the receptionist. "Thank you. I'm relieved to see that people haven't sent any ugly pictures of me in the group."
Lily calls her assistant--Ella, as soon as she leaves the Lewis Group. Lily tells Ella several names of those groups and asks Ella to join the groups to distract people's attention with some other news. If this measure fails, Lily will use legal means.
Lily has been secretly dating Louis. Nobody knows about this except their good friends and relatives.
She doesn't expect that the whole circle is spreading the news about her relationship with Louis when she comes back. It seems that the identity of the new CEO of the HS Company is vaguely known. The rumors about their affairs are spreading as if someone is tarnishing Lily's reputation.
Someone must be behind this.
However, Lily doesn't have time to deal with this matter right now. She is mainly worried about Little Fairy. Since Lily can't find anyone in the Lewis Group and doesn't know where Leigh has been recently, she can only send a WeChat message to David.
Louis and Leigh are brothers. David often follows Louis, just like Louis’ personal nanny. Thus, David must know where Leigh often goes.
However, Lily doesn't know that Louis has already taken away David's WeChat account.
Louis has just returned to the Smith Group and is making an appointment to go out with a few partners to talk about business on WeChat. When he returns to the main page, he sees the message from the associated account.
Louis got that account from David. Apart from Lily, this account has almost no contacts.
Louis' finger pauses on the screen for a few seconds before finally switching to the WeChat account.
Lily: "Dear David, are you busy now?"
Dear?
Louis is inexplicably unhappy.
This woman is clearly not familiar with David. She used to call him David, but now she calls him Dear David. However, she calls Louis Mr. Smith. When she's angry, she even uses respectful words!
Louis replies, "Is there something wrong, Ms. Lily?"
