Daisy patted her on the back and smiled softly, “Go ahead, get back at the Smith’s house early later in the afternoon.”
Lily hurriedly left with her bag.

Since David was no longer working, Catherine has taken over all his work and was in charge of Louis’s itinerary.
Companies that cooperated with Smith Group paid attention to Louis’s birthday details a few months back. On his birthday, they sent him gifts to Smith Group.
Early in the morning, gifts from various companies continued to be delivered to Smith Group.
Catherine was responsible for counting and registering which gift was sent by which company. She was too busy with it that she got another secretary to handle the meeting matters.
Catherine was busy when two workers carried a large gift box to her.
“Catherine.” A worker said, “This is a birthday gift from HS Company to President Smith. They’ve said that to send it directly to the president's office.”
The senior management of HS Company had a big change of manpower a few months back. Now, Lily is the director and CEO, and Catherine is aware of it.
However, Catherine was afraid that someone might manipulate the gift on the way over, so she still checked it carefully.
As soon as she opened the corner of the box, Catherine was taken aback after faintly seeing the person inside.
Lily who was in the box also saw her and made a hush gesture to her.
When Catherine screamed, a worker hurriedly asked, “What’s wrong, Catherine? What’s in the box?”
“Oh, nothing much.” Catherine closed the box, fastened the straps, and maintained a calm expression, “I’ve checked. The gift is safe. You can take my card and bring it directly to the president's office.”
“OK.”
The worker took the elevator card given by Catherine and entered the elevator with his companion while carrying the large box.
After Louis returned to the president’s office after the meeting, he casually glanced and saw a large box placed next to the sofa with a gift belt tied to it, waiting to be taken apart.
Louis frowned, he thought that he didn’t lack a refrigerator in his office. Why did the secretary department send it here?
He walked to the table and called to the secretarial department.
“Mr. Smith.” Catherine happened to be in the secretarial department and answered his call, “May I know your orders?”
“Why did you all bring a refrigerator to my office?”
Catherine held back her smile on the other end of the phone for a while, and tried to keep it serious, and said, “Mr. Smith, that’s not a refrigerator. That’s a gift from Ms. Lily from HS Company. You can open it to have a look.”
“…”
Louis hung up the phone, walked around the sofa to the big gift box, and removed the tape.
As soon as he opened the box, a shadow suddenly appeared from inside.
“Surprise!” Lily kissed the man while on tiptoe, smiled, and said, “Husband, happy birthday!”
Louis was on guard, and when he saw her coming out of the inside, his tight nerves let go. He was indifferent to her kiss, and only faintly hummed, “I’ve received it.”
It’s been three days of the silent treatment, hasn’t he calmed down yet?
Lily stretched out her hand and said coquettishly, “Husband, won’t you hug me out?”
“Don’t you have your own legs?”
“Husband, I was wrong.” Lily rushed over and hugged the man, using her beauty, “When I came out of the hotel that day, I shouldn’t have said that. I regretted and I’ve reflected, don’t have a silent treatment with me.”
The man displayed aloofness and indifference, Lily raised her head and kissed his Adam’s apple, “Husband, don’t be angry. Do you really don’t want to hug your beautiful wife that’s in front of you?”
“…”
“Husband, I love you.” Lily said and kissed him, “You are more important to me than our baby!”
