Let's Get Married novel Chapter 49

Hearing her voice, she is unable to speak. It is like her throat being gripped, soreness and dryness hits her. Lily opens her mouth again but couldn’t make a sound. She doesn’t know what to say.

She even takes away the phone from her ear to look at the number, just in case she calls the wrong number.

It is his number.

“Hello?” The woman urges impatiently.

Lily comes back to her sense and hangs up the phone hurriedly.

She is alone in the huge living room. The enormous window besides the sofa is opened and blows in the night breeze. Lily couldn’t help but shiver.

The quiet living room makes her keep on hearing the soft voice of that woman.

Meeting client?

Is this how he met a client?

…..

At the same time, Rex comes out from the VIP toilet of the Red Club’s private room.

He wears a catty black shirt. The two unbuttoned crystal buckle shine like a diamonds in the dim light exposing the delicate collarbone. His two straight legs look even more powerful under the ironed trousers. Half of his handsome face is hidden on the shadow of the light, he looks gloomy yet charming.

“Rex, someone’s called you just now. I… I pick it up since you’re not here.” The woman sitting on the side has a long wavy hair. A flawless make up painted on her face. She is wearing a tight black skirt that wraps in the body, revealing her hot curve.

Rex is not satisfied. He doesn’t buy her excuses, “Who told you to pick it up.”

The woman panics “I…..”

Pehry beckons her, “Kiki, You have been working her for quite some time. How come you still don’t understand these rules?”

“Pehry, I was in a hurry…. I was wrong, sorry.”

“It’s fine, you can go now.” Pehry waves his hand and says nothing in the end.

After all, Kiki has been working here since the grand opening of the club. Although she only works as a lady companion, it is also a hard work even without contribution.

Rex checks his phone. The most recent call on the records is Lily.

He frowns, was she calling?

He subconsciously wanted to call back, but stopped when he presses it.

Recalling what happened today in the office, as well as the footage that has been handed to Susan. His eyebrows frown deeply and he throws the phone on the table and pours a glass of wine into the throat silently.

Karl and Pehry exchange their look. Pehry doesn’t have the balls to step forward and also knows that he couldn’t be able persuade him. He simply shrugs and hands it to Karl.

Karl moves to sit next to Rex. Looking at him, who exuded the cold air, and asks tentatively, “Fighting with your little pet?”

Rex gestures an agitated moves while sipping the wine. Resembling the action, his tone is also not good, “Since when did my emotions related to her?”

Karl is just guessing, but still shaking the courage to continue to ask, “So what happened?”

He pours another glass of wine. Regardless of the posture, the yellow liquid submerged into the throat. His deep face is cut more sharply in the dull light. His tight thin lip seems to be tenderer.

“She can’t let her ex-husband go.” It is kind of awkward to discuss her with others.

As the matter of fact, Lily’s problem has been heard by several people. Rex, Pehry, Karl and Orson have a group chat. Orson clearly knows that Lily works at Hanyu, but they didn’t say anything.

“What’s the good of that little girl that have made you this befuddled?” Drinking in the middle of the night ‘till drunk really wasn’t his style.
