Chapter 720
The expression on Lily’s face froze.
However, it was only for a moment before she quickly turned to follow him.
She felt that she understood his personality pretty well due to the time she had spent interacting with him on the joint project.
He just had a standoffish personality and did not like to talk much.
He was also the head of the Carter Corporation and the wealthiest person in Westchester City. He was young and handsome too. It was normal for such a person to have some attitude.
Lily followed him to the seating area.
Odell sat down on a sofa.
Lily stood still without moving from her spot. Once the single – seat sofas on both sides of Odell had been filled, she smiled and said, “Young Master Carter , would you mind if I sat beside you?”
Odell looked around, then replied, “Please feel free to do so, Ms. Springsteen.”
Lily smiled and sat beside him at a distance of ten
centimeters away.
When she sat down, many people’s gazes focused on them, including the president of the business association sitting on the single-seated sofa that was on Odell’s right. The president of the business association was an old man. Upon seeing the situation, he smiled and said, “Oh, it seems that Young Master and Ms. Springsteen seem to know each other well.”
Just like today, Odell had never brought a female companion whenever he attended the business association’s events in the past. He would never sit with any other people, whether it was anyone of the same gender, much less any member of the opposite sex. No one dared to sit next to him.
Odell frowned.
Lily noticed his expression and quickly said to the president, “Please don’t misunderstand , Mr. Crawford. Springsteen Corporation and Carter Corporation have been working on a project together lately, so I’ve met Young Master Carter many times during this period of time. We’re quite familiar with each other, but we’re just good friends.”
Mr. Crawford smiled and said, “Oh no, no, I didn’t misunderstand anything.” However, he continued to look at them in a teasing
manner.
Lily and Odell were a perfect match. Even their family backgrounds were similar. In the eyes of other people , they looked like a match made in heaven.
Lily noticed the look the president was giving them but did not correct him further.
Soon, Mr. Crawford started talking to them regarding topics on business.
He asked for their opinions on some things that had occurred lately. Lily immediately expressed her opinions. There was logic and key points in her words, all of which she expressed very eloquently
