Fortunately, Baron doesn't turn off his phone. He has just arrived at the company.
Lily drives directly to the Smollett Group.
After seeing Baron, Lily says, "Mr. Smollett, the plane my friend is on disappeared in the air due to air traffic control. I want to ask you to use your resources to help me find it."
"President Lily, I can help you if you want to borrow some money. But this is beyond me." Baron says, "You should find the ATC."
Lily lowers her eyes and says helplessly, "I don't know anyone."
Chloe does know someone, but the people she knew aren't powerful enough to find anything useful.
"Don't you know anyone?" Lily clenches her hands and asks, "As long as you can help me find my friend's whereabouts, I will definitely return this favor."
Baron rubs his chin and thinks for a moment, then raises his eyebrows, "I know who can help you."
"Who?"
"You also know him. If you ask him, you can get whatever information you want."
Lily's smile froze, because she knows who Baron is referring to. Lily feels quite sad, "He's still on a business trip abroad. His phone is turned off."
"I've received reliable news that Mr. Smith will be back today." Baron smiles and says, "President Lily, maybe you can give it a try and call him."
Lily purses her lips hard and says nothing.
Earlier Louis has turned her down directly, so she shouldn't waste any time on him.
Baron is her last resort.
Baron notices her worries and says, "Even though you two broke up, you are still friends. If you don't want to turn to Mr. Smith, you can go to Leigh. These two are the only persons in Yorkshire who can help you."
Lily sneers, "Leigh? I'm afraid he is busy sending people to kill me! I will give up anything to find my friend. But I will not ask for his help."
Seeing Lily's strong hatred to Leigh, Baron feels that there must be something happened between the two.
"What happened between you two?"
"Since you can't help me, I'll leave first." Lily gets up and leaves without hesitation.
Baron takes out his phone and sends a message.
It is just a piece of cake for him to check information in the ATC.
However, when he thinks about Lily's relationship with Louis and how nervous Lily is about the missing plane, he knows this is not a simple matter. So he decides to not to get involved.
...
After leaving the Smollett Group, Lily goes through the names in her phone and finds that no one could help her.
Except for the two that Baron mentions.
Chloe calls and asks Lily where she is in panic. After knowing that Lily is at the company, Chloe feels relieved and says that she would go back with Chandler first and that if she should pick Lily up at night.
Chloe also adds, "Lily, if that old man comes to you, you have to be careful. He is an old handsy pervert!"
"What old man?"
"You fainted at the airport last night. I took you to the hospital." Chloe says in a very dissatisfied tone, "The man that President Smith sent to protect me. Why can't President Smith send someone younger?"
Lily doesn't have time to listen to her complaints and says in a tired tone, "You don't have to come to pick me up. I'll drive back."
Chloe also knows that Lily is busy, so she stops.
Lily is out of her wits so she could only contact David.
"Ms. Lily." David answers the phone very quickly, "Is there anything you need?"
Lily purses her lips and asks, "Is Mr. Smith back?"
"Yes, but..." David pauses for a moment and whispers, "He probably doesn't want to see you."
Hearing this, Lily smiles bitterly.
He is the one who does something wrong first and never answers her phone. Why is he making the whole thing her fault?
"Can't we talk about business?"
David sighs, "Ms. Lily, I'm sorry, I really can't help you."
