Her Heart Her Terms (Lily and Xavier) novel Chapter 234

Chapter 234 

Queenie asked, “Did Ms. Cooper push you out? 

“No. I applied for the transter myself,” Lily replied honestly, “Ms. Cooper is very responsible and capable.” 

“Stop pretending.“Queenie scotted. “The designers in the market stores are tougher than Nadial The successful ones make tens of thousands a month. 

“They work on commission, risking their lives, pulling overtime, and staying up late to secure clients. If you go there, you’ll be eaten alive.” 

Lily was well aware of that. In any commission–based industry, competition was fierce. This, her survival would depend on nothing but persistence. 

“Hopefully, the next time we meet, I’ll at least be a skeleton so I don’t scare you,” she joked. 

Queenie, being a sentimental person, quickly bonded with Lily after working together for a short time. Her eyes were now slightly red 

“you’re already as thin as a skeleton. No matter how tough things get, remember to eat on time.” 

Before leaving, Lily hugged Queenie and added her personal WhatsApp account. 

The market store she was heading to was in a nearby home goods mall, where she was due to report at 3:00p.m. 

The store manager, Landon Ashford, was in his 40s, wearing black square–framed glasses, a crew cut, and dressed casually in jeans and a sports hoodie. 

The other employees were dressed similarly casual, in contrast to the formal attire worn at the headquarters design department, 

Lily fell out of place in her business suit. 

Soon, she was led to a workstation in the corner. Around her, others were busy–making phone calls, drafting plans, and attending to customers, 

Their own tasks. 

all absorbed in 

Lily set her things down and was about to walk around the store to check out the sample materials when Landon called her over. She changed course and walked toward has workstation 

“Lily, a batch of sample boards just arrived out front. Go bring them in,” he said. 

Landon handed her a receipt and asked her to check the quantity 

Taking the receipt, Lily headed to the back door of the mall, where she verified the goods with the logistics team and picked them up. 

The items were long, heavy wooden poles–each about six feet long. Carrying them all at once was impossible, and even taking them one by one was a struggle for 

Lily 

She wasn’t used to heavy lifting, and each pole, which was taller and heavier than she was, wobbled no matter how she tried to balance it 

After much effort, she finally managed to drag one inside. As she turned toward the elevator, the other end of the pole bumped into something and slid off her 

shoulder. 

A loud “bang” echoed, followed by a flurry of gasps from behind her. 

“Mr. Fulton!” 

“Mr. Fulton, are you okay?” 

Xavier pressed his hand to the back of his head and slowly tumed around, glaring at the person who had embarrassed him in front of everyone. 

Lily’s shoulder stung from the scrape, and instinctively pressed her hand to it. When she heard “Mr. Fulton,” she instinctively looked up 

Their eyes met, and her stunned expression slowly became awkward.
