"Oh!" Jessie's eyes widen, "Do you have a brother? How old is he?"
"A few years younger than me and he is still studying at school. He is also very handsome," Lily says, "I think he can have a girlfriend now. You can chat with him on the WhatsApp."
Lily heard that there are few girls in Coffey’s school, and Coffey hasn’t had a girlfriend before. Lily is afraid that his sexual orientation would go wrong.
Anyway, it is just establishing a relationship, not getting married. It is not a bad thing for him to know more about girls.
"Your younger brother must be as pretty as you are!" Jessie nudges Lily, grinning. She loves beautiful boys. If the guys are handsome, she can accept him even if he is two years younger than her.
At dinner, Jessie has already sent invitation to friend Coffey. She checks her cell phone from time to time, but Coffey still doesn’t agree to friend her.
Lily says with a smile, "He is studying in a closed school, and he can't play mobile phone every day. Don't worry, if he comes back this weekend, I will tell you."
Jessie puts down her phone.
But for a while, Jessie keeps talking again. She tells Lily that the new manager of their planning department turns out to be Katherine.
"Wow, I learned from gossip that Katherine Smith turns out to be Samson's goddaughter. She was transferred by Samson from the Shetland North branch."
"Hey, isn’t Julian in your translation department also Samson's helper? This vice president is too aggressive! He might want to monopolize the Smith Group!"
"Katherine comes to the Smith Group?" Lily asks, feeling shocked.
She knows Katherine. She is Jason’s aunt, and she is Mr. Smith’s nephew. When she and Jason went to the Smith family the year before last year, she also met Katherine, who is very swanky.
However, when Mr. Smith was still in the Smith Group, he ordered that in addition to the board of directors, there should not be too many people in the Smith family to be in the senior leadership, so the people in the Smith family are arranged to branches in various provinces. How dare Samson transfer Katherine to the Smith Group?
What did he want to do, to test Louis's attitude?
"Yeah, she came to the Smith Group when you just went to Turkey a few days later." Jessie stuffs a boneless chicken wing into her mouth, ambiguously saying, "Julian fawn on her every day and orders a luxurious takeaway to the planning department, and she would do what Katherine asks her to do."
"Of course she would fawn on her. After all, Katherine is a member of the Smith family." Lily smiles faintly, "Moreover, she is only an acting minister now. Whether she can be the minister, it needs Katherine’s help."
Jessie shows a dissatisfied look, "She just entered the company earlier than you, and has someone backed her! I heard that your minister is going to the New York branch and he wants to recommend you to be the minister. But no one can expect that Leon would have an accident and Julian takes the position."
"Hey Lily, didn't Mr. Louis say anything?" She leans forward and looks at Lily, "You have stayed in Turkey for so long. Nothing happened? Does Mr. Louis support you?"
"No, we just worked." Lily says helplessly, interrupting her illusions, "Don't think about it anymore. I have no other relationship with Louis and I don't need him to support me."
Anyway, after the cooperation is over, she did not owe Louis any favors.
"Just work!" Jessie eats a few more dishes, looking disappointed, "Anyway, he was once your cousin-in-law. Why is Mr. Louis so cold-hearted?"
"..."
"There is a Katherine in our department, buy your department is messy as well. I think there will be a few more people coming in. Is the Smith Group going to change the staff?"
"..."
"Okay, please shut up." Lily doesn’t want to listen to her, and stuffs a chicken wing into her mouth, "Don’t care about so much, just work and get your salary. If you keep talking again, tomorrow I won't cook for you."
In order not to eat takeaway tomorrow, Jessie shuts up.
Then the phone on the coffee table rings. She goes to the living room to get her phone. It is a strange number.
