Chapter 364 Is This Any of Your Business? After Lily clocked in at her department, she headed straight to Damien’s office. When he noticed Lily entering his office, he asked lightly, “What is it?”
“Mr. Lawrence, Clarissa and I were on a video call this morning. She said she’s reached Emmeria, and everything is going pretty smoothly for her,” Lily replied. “Got it.” Damien continued to sign away on the documents with his pen, as if nothing had happened. Lily thought for a moment before licking her lips nervously and said, “Clarissa mentioned that she sent you a Whatsapp message, but you didn’t reply to her. I told her that maybe you didn’t see it. Mr. Lawrence, didn’t you pin Clarissa’s private chat at the top?”
Damien lifted his head and shot Lily a glance.
That glance made her want to dig a hole and hide in there for the rest of her life.
Damien’s unspoken meaning was very clear. Was this any of Lily’s business?
“Goodbye, Mr. Lawrence!” After that, Lily closed the office door and left in a hurry.
