Can't Get Away With You novel Chapter 45

Looking down at the sales report in her hand, Lois was happy, but at the same time, she felt a little distressed. The research and development of Solar energy had been put into use for nearly three months, though it had been finished but hadn't been put on the market yet, so the research and development investment was like a bottomless hole.

Although Lois knew that the investment would be paid back sooner or later, she was still very anxious, hoping that the research and development result could be put on the market as soon as possible so she could get the first money back.

In business, haste was a big taboo. Lois had known it for a long time, but such a large sum of money had been used up in just three months, which still made her feel like a heavy weight in her heart.

The phone suddenly rang, which startled Lois. She looked at the caller ID on the screen, hesitated for a moment, and answered the phone.

"Lois, it's me."

Kent's gentle voice came through. Lois knocked on the return key to complete the examination and approval of the documents on the computer.

Lois looked aside. There were still three documents at hand, so she might not have time for lunch.

"Yes, I know. What's up?"

After hesitating for a while, Kent said, "my good friends in college came to the welcome party for me to celebrate my return. Do you have time to attend it?"

Lois looked at the clock on the right corner of the computer. She still would have a meeting in half an hour.

"I'm afraid not." A pleasant female voice came out of her cherry lips, and Lois refused quickly.

"Really?" There was a hint of disappointment in his words. Judging from his voice, Lois knew that there must be a slight regret on Kent's face.

Unable to refuse again, Lois said softly, "I'll try my best to spare some time."

"Okay." "I'll pick you up next Saturday," Kent said with joy

After hanging up the phone, Lois took out a document and continued to browse.

Time passed quickly. To Lois's surprise, Kent really came to pick her up.

"Maybe you will meet your classmate who had a good relationship with you in college this time. Are you mentally ready?"

The joy on Lois's face was gone. She nodded slightly and said, "that's really exciting!"!

The party was booked in the Silver Art Hotel. Lois sighed that her schoolmates were very rich!

To avoid misunderstanding, Lois and Kent entered the private room one after another. They used to be schoolmates, so they were kind of familiar to each other. After being introduced, they slowly understood the classes and domains of the people present, and the big and small circles of them began to talk about the lively things in their own life.

When Lois was a student of the financial management department, she talked about the interesting things with the small circle of the go club.

Her friend in college didn't come. Maybe it was because of work. The vice president came. He talked with Kent that they had not met for many years, and now things had changed. Kent talked with the vice president with a smile, like friends who hadn't seen for many years, but their words were somewhat gentle and alienated.

Lois had never seen Kent greet others at a party. She vaguely remembered what Kent said not long ago. "I'm afraid I'll be left there if I drink too much."
