Let's Get Married novel Chapter 48

When Lily returns to the office, the colleagues have been gossiping her about her bravery of intrusion to the CEO’s office.

When the incident happens, she is anxious and goes upstairs without thinking much. But once again she becomes the subject of their gossip.

However, all of it is just an excuse. Previously, people said that she had a backdoor; a relationship with the superior, but no one dares to say the name. This time, she goes directly to the CEO’s office and still be able to come back safe and sound. It will inevitably bring Rex into this rumor.

Lily looks at those curious yet cautious stares, even Crystal is the same.

She restrains the soreness of her throat and tries to act as usual. The only thing in the world that was as fast as lightning is rumor.

She couldn’t control what others said, but can only turn a cold shoulder.

While sitting on the task chairs, Lily takes a ship of water from the thermos. The warm liquid flows into her stomach. She couldn’t help chilling when thinking of Rex’s cold eyes from just now.

The video has been taken away by Susan. After leaving the office, her face is full of smile. She herself doesn’t think that she was a kind-hearted person. She only gives her for the sake of the child.

Her only concern is that Rex might misunderstand. She explains, corrects, —clarifies, but he barely says a few words to let her out.

Lily sighs in frustration and listlessly lays on the desk, takes out the phone to text Abby—

Lily: You there?

Abby: Yeah.

Lily: I had just provoked Rex, he seems really angry.

Abby: ….I didn’t believe you dare to provoke him. Tell me, what happen? *gossip face emoticon

Lily taps the keyboard with her fingers, roughly describe what had happened today.

Less than half minute after the message is sent, the other party sends bunch of surprised expressions.

Lily: What do you mean?

Abby: Dude, you are the first that burn the bridge after crossing it without thinking.

Lily frowns as looking at the message, her fingertips types hastily on the keyboard: How can I burn the bridge after crossing it. I’ve explained to him before that it was for the sake of the children, but it seems useless.

Abby: Nonsense, nobody can bear this matter. It is good enough that Rex didn’t kill you. Think about it, the boss of a big law firm handles this case himself for your sake. But in the end, just because you pity your ex-husband, you let it go, can you imagine it?

Lily opens the dialog box, types in a line of message but soon deleted it. Her finger stops, still thinking what to reply, then Abby text her again.

Abby: You’re too kind-hearted. You may think for the sake of the children, but Rex may not think so. After all, you’re problem with Tim is too much. If you don’t want Rex to angry, go sweet-talks him.

Sweet-talk?

Lily imagines if she sweet-talks Rex, which gives her a sudden goose bumps. She might have frozen to death first before have a chance to sweet-talk him.

Not everybody can bear the awful aura of him.

After chatting a few more messages with Abby, someone’s calls her name, which Lily doesn’t dare to neglect and put down her phone to go to work. It is only after work hours that she has time to pick up her phone again.

After looking at the time, she recalls Abby’s words again. Rex might has not left yet at this time. She sorts out the things on the desk first and walks away with her bag.

“Lily!”

Someone’s suddenly calls her name when she reaches the door.

Lily jumps out and turns to the doer. It is Crystal and she sighs with relief, “What?”
