Karl drives away from the Rex’s villa, his mind full of Rex’s words "I seem to be fine" just now.
That wink matches that tone. If he can't hear what it means, he must be a complete fool.
But…
Thinking of the woman on the bed, he could not help igniting the heart of gossip. Rex, who has always regarded women as dirt, now is charmed by a little girl?
She seems to be in her twenties. There's a light soft beauty between her eyebrows and eyes. She is not an amazing beauty. At best, she is pure and pleasing.
He has spent such a long time and can't persuade Rex. He is worried about the rest of Rex’s life. Suddenly, Rex is conquered by a girl, which makes Karl feel a little strange.
Thinking about it, he still decides to keep calm. After all, he was joking just now. Rex soon cut him to pieces with his eyes. If he really did something bad, Rex must strip his skin off?
Karl curls his mouth and hammers the steering wheel of Land Rover, "Care more about woman than friend."
...
Rex has another meeting at 10 a.m. He looks at the time and calls his secretary, Joe. "Change the meeting at 10 a.m. into a video meeting. I can't catch up now. Send the meeting materials to my mailbox right now."
Joe feels surprised but still sends the information to him immediately. He hangs up the phone and informs the participants one by one. Occasionally, in the spacious and bright conference room, someone asks in a low voice, "Why does it suddenly become a video conference?"
"Maybe president Rex is on a business trip."
Joe is so ashamed that president Rex, who has never been late or absent from work or several years and arrives at 8:30 every day, unexpectedly misses the meeting today.
Rex has a meeting in the study. During the meeting, he pays attention to the time at the bottom of the screen. He doesn't forget Karl’s enjoin to change the dropper every hour
"Well, today's meeting is over. If you have any questions, you can come to ask me." After a brief summary, Rex ends the meeting, turns off the camera, and calls Joe alone, "When will the company recruit in autumn?"
Joe does not expect that Rex suddenly asks this question. He turns over the manual and says, "Soon, the 13th of this month, that is, the day after tomorrow."
Every year, the law firm will face with the school and the society to recruit two groups of new people. They are all the elites or potential stocks in law industry. The application conditions are tough, but there still are thousands of resumes. Finally, five people are left after rounds of selection.
"Add a person in."
Joe is even more surprised. In those years, a senior executive also added his relatives to law firm, and he was directly dismissed after being known by Rex.
Now Joe wipes the sweat on his forehead and feels that the world is mysterious, "Mr., you say."
"Lily."
...
When Lily wakes up, it is more than one o'clock in the afternoon. She opens her eyes for a moment, slowly sets up from the bed, takes the cell phone on the bedside table, and freezes slightly.
Did she sleep so long?
She looks at the white adhesive tape on the back of the hand, and notices the cool medicine on the side. And finally she realizes her current situation, and also remembers Rex's urging in the morning.
Her eyes fall on the empty side of her body. Lily gets out of bed and puts on her slippers. After washing, she goes downstairs lightly. The first floor is empty. She calls out tentatively, "Rex?"
Waiting for a moment, no one answers, is he out?
Lily breathes a sigh of relief, but suddenly stops when she turns around.
The man is standing on the stairs behind her in a casual dress, holding his hands in front of his chest, looking at her.
