Let's Get Married novel Chapter 28

The next morning, Lily misses the early subway on her way to the company, and she doesn't squeeze on it directly. She is almost late just one minute.

All the way, she is thinking about the information. In her mind, she thinks countless scenes of Julia's scolding, and makes countless mental constructions. However, what she doesn't expect is that, instead of being scolded, she passes the stage peacefully.

Lily thinks she is lucky, but soon she knows that things are not as simple as she thinks.

In the company's tea room, Lily is getting coffee and suddenly hears the voice of her colleagues in the same group next door.

"Do you know the Lily in our group?"

"I know. I hear she is an excellent student."

"Today..." One of them says that in a low voice, "Director Julia specially asks us at the meeting to say something about the backstage. Do you think it would be about her?"

"I guess so. Julia said so clearly."

"But I think that Lily is really good-looking. Like a star, the soft and weak girl is the type that men like. Maybe she has the special kind of relationship with the company's top manager. Let's not mess with her."

"I think so, but it's bad luck for us to have such a colleague. I think there's anything good for us in the future. She'll take it up by herself."

"Yes..."

After getting the water, the two people leave, their voices getting further and further away. Lily's hand holding the coffee cup tightens unconsciously. When she is stunned, she notices that the coffee overflowed, and the back of her hand is burned red.

She quickly closes it, unable to keep up with the burn on the back of her hand, and her thoughts are confused.

Julia asked several colleagues of the same group to stay at the meeting this morning. It was about this?

Lily frowns, no wonder Julia didn't say a word about those materials. Now thinking of her eyes, they are really meaningful.

Did Rex say something to Jade?

In this way, Lily is even more flustered. She doesn't plan to have special treatment or let her colleagues know the relationship between her and Rex. It is bad for Lily. And it is not a good thing for Rex.

Lily goes to the stairway and calls Rex. Tom is on the line. "I'm sorry; Miss. Mr. Rex is in a meeting. Can I help you with something?"

"It's OK. Please wait for him to finish and tell him. I'll find him."

After hanging up the phone, Lily walks back to the office with a water cup. She knows everyone's guess. She always feels that everyone's eyes are not kind.

It turns out that Lily’s thoughts are right. The colleagues, who were willing to help her yesterday, today, facing her problems, seem to be helpless. Even someone ignores her. Lily knows that she is isolated.

"Lily, there's something wrong with this form." Crystal at the next table reaches for her computer screen.

Lily thanks him gratefully. "Thank you. I don't know how to deal with it."

Crystal waves her hand and doesn't care much. "It's OK. I'll send you a template later. You can follow that."

At noon, Lily almost forgets to look for Rex when she receives a phone call from Rex, "You look for me?"

Lily goes to the corner and says, "Well, I want to ask you something."

"Come up and talk about it."

"No, I'm going to have lunch with my colleague. Let's wait for a while." Lily lowers her voice. "I'll see you in the underground parking lot."

Rex has not promised, but the little woman has hurriedly hung up the phone.

For the first time, Rex's face is completely dark when he is put on the phone, and Tom gives a trembling voice to remind him, "President, book a lunch for two persons or one person?”

Rex glances at him and says, "When do I book for two?"

Tom says nervously, "You just made it clear..."

"What?" Rex’s one word makes people out of breath.

"Nothing. I heard it wrong. I heard it wrong..."

"Get out of here."
