The next morning, Lily and Rex go to the company together. The little scene last night doesn’t affect their atmosphere. On the contrary, after absenting for several days, Lily is a little uneasy.
She stays silence all the way through, unusually very quiet. Rex sees her worries and consoles in a low voice, “Relax, Orson has greeted your superior these days.”
Of course, Lily knows well that he’ll take care of it, but even these can’t dispel her worries. After all, her relationship with Rex within the entire company, even in the current society can be said to be well known, no one dare to trouble her. And also because of it, she needs self-discipline even more.
Now that she has left without asking for permission, what will Kinsey think of her?
Lily is very nervous all the way to the company’s door. After hopping off the car, she doesn’t even take the elevator with Rex and goes directly to the office building without saying words.
As soon as she enters the office, the eyes of the colleagues lock at her. Facing all of those eyes, Lily smiles awkwardly, “Good morning everybody.”
Crystal blinks, still thinking that she has did something wrong and waves at her while stepping down from the stairs, “You’ve finally come, we’re so busy lately, come here.”
Lily walks over, the moment her butt is on the seat, she is really relieved.
Crystal looks over her head and says, “You’ve finally come, you didn’t pick up your phone, and also can’t be reached, I thought you’ve resigned.”
“No.” Lily plays with her hair to hide her guiltiness. “I’ve taken a leave just because I was a little sick.”
“Huh.” Crystal is stunned, “You can lie to others but not to me. You’ve not the type that skip your job when you’re sick. Is it because of Rex?”
Once she speaks, Lily’s expression is even more unnatural.
Crystal doesn’t want to force her, and hands the organized file to her, “It’s the notes from the meeting recently, take a look at it.”
“Thank you, Crystal.” Lily is really touched. It is really difficult to have such a friend like her in work.
Crystal waves off, “It’s nothing.”
After skipping for a few days, she has a lot to do, which also needs some time to reorganize it. Lily spends the whole morning to get it right. When she looks up again, it’s passed the lunch time. She suddenly understands why Rex always works over time.
She is barely an ordinary employee, not to mention the company’s big boss.
Lily raises her hand to rub her sore neck. After lowering it for a long time, it become a bit stiff.
The phone that is place on the table vibrates twice. She picks it up and finds that it is Rex: Have you eaten?
Only three words, short and concise, without adding any nonsense.
Lily slightly hooks her lips, her fingertips tapping the screen happily, just like her heart at this moment: Not yet, I’m still busy with work.
After typing in, tapping the send button, the green icon has not changed it color, yet behind her, Kinsey who returns in advance after having a lunch and calls her out, “Lily , come here.”
She puts down her phone instantly and stands up to follow her.
