In the evening, at the dinning table in the manor.
A table of delicious food was placed in front of everyone. Lily, Andrew, Kerr, and Tina sat around the table.
Kerr raised his glass first. "Guys, let's drink a toast. Hope Andrew will succeed tomorrow."
"Yes, we have to celebrate in advance." Tina raised her glass too.
Seeing this, Lily didn't know what to say. She also raised the glass, looking sideways at Andrew. During this period of time, Andrew lost a lot of weight, and even the stubble grew out. It was hard to say anything.
It was time to sign the contract with AF Company tomorrow, but she hadn't got any news from Hailey. She had planned to take Eric with her tonight, but he was called over by Ellison, who said that he had something to discuss with him, so she had to let him go.
"Yes, we'll be successful tomorrow." "Cheers!"
"Cheers!"
"Cheers!"
The four people's cups collided, and a crisp and pleasant sound came out.
They took a sip of each and then put down the glasses. Andrew turned to look at Lily and asked with concern, "Lily, you look unhappy."
"Really? I don't think so." Lily forced a smile and said, "Brother Andrew, you are going to sign the contract tomorrow. Why am I not happy?"
To tell the truth, what she said was really against her will. Even she was disgusted.
"Andrew, don't wrong Lily." He looked at his son and said, "She has a lot of things to deal with these days. Seeing that you are busy, she didn't tell you."
"What happened?" Andrew asked with concern. Since last time he attended Angus's banquet, he had plunged into his office. These days he had been living a life that he barely heard anything.
"Nothing important. I'll tell you about it tomorrow." Lily didn't plan to tell him.
"Yes, yes. Tell you about it tomorrow." Then, Kerr picked up a piece of the meat that Andrew liked the most and put it into his bowl, "This is made by Tina for you. Have some more food and have a good sleep. Tomorrow you will sign a contract with full energy."
"Okay." Andrew smiled and stopped asking.
"Lily, help yourself." With that, he put another piece of chicken into Lily's bowl.
"Thank you, uncle Kerr." Lily said with a smile.
"Don't be so courteous." He then picked up the empty bowl in front of Tina and filled a bowl of soup for her. It was her eating habit. She liked to have a bowl of soup before dinner.
He put it in front of her and said, "Be careful, it's a little hot."
"Yes." Tina nodded with shyness. Although it had been a long time since she received the care from him, she was still not used to it. Every time she told him that it was not necessary to do so, he would not listen to her every time. Therefore, she gradually accepted him.
"Oh, I have something to tell you." He looked at them and said.
Hearing his words, both of them looked up at him at the same time, waiting for his next move.
Of course, Tina knew what he meant. She turned her head to look at Kerr, and he also looked at her. They looked at each other and then instantly separated.
"I divided 20% of the shares of the company for Lily." After saying that, he glanced at Andrew, then at Lily, trying to figure out what was going on between them.
"What?" Andrew showed no surprise, while Lily stood up from the chair in surprise. She stood up so quickly that she touched the glass and smudged her clothes with the red wine.
"Watch out!" However, Andrew, who was the nearest to her, quickly reached out his hand to hold the glass. Then he looked at her and asked, "Are you okay? Your clothes got dirty. How about changing first?"
"Nothing." Lily shook her head. She didn't care about Andrew. Her eyes were fixed on Kerr. "Uncle, why did you do that? And when did this happen? Why didn't you discuss with us?"
Hearing all the questions from Lily, Kerr calmly said, "Sit down please and listen to my explanation."
After taking a deep breath, Lily sat down and said, "Uncle Kerr, can you tell me now?"
