Sir madame has run away again (Lily and Carson) novel Chapter 153

Chapter 153
“Changing hands? Who’s taking over? You’re not kidding, are you?”
“How could I be kidding about this? Also, you know the person who is going to take over. It is the cause of my headache.”
“Are you saying that Eric Walker is going to acquire our company?” I let it slip. This is crazy! I can not believe!
“My dear, be quiet! This is privileged information! Insider information, okay?!” When Jessica saw my overreaction, she quickly warned me in a low voice.
“I was just surprised. Oh, right; this matter is not finalized yet, right?” I whispered questioningly.
“Yes. That’s why it’s privileged information.”
“Did President Smith speak about this?” I asked again.
“How can it be? President Smith is a cunning old fox. He doesn’t say anything until the last possible moment. I guessed it myself.”
“Is it just a hunch?”
“Do not doubt my judgment. To be honest, there were hints before that too. Do you remember the first time Eric came to our company for a visit? They claimed the visit was to promote cooperation. But really, it was to investigate whether there was any acquisition value in our company.”
“I understand. Still, until the acquisition is finalized, anything that goes wrong during negotiations could lead to a failure of the acquisition or a change in terms of the contract.”
“Isn’t that why President Smith is so silent? Didn’t you see how respectful he was to Mr. Walker? He’s afraid Eric will go back on his word!”
“It’s not like our company is doing badly. There’s nothing to worry about even if Eric doesn’t buy our share, right?” I disagreed.
“I’m sure President Smith has his own thoughts. By the way, I just told you about it. So don’t gossip about it;
this?”
“I understood.”
After Jessica left, I thought deeply. Among existing companies, our company was neither the best nor the worst. Based on my estimates, the acquisition was to improve our performance or to restructure the company. Why the hell is Eric acquiring our company?
Before I could find out, President Smith’s assistant called and asked me to come to the president’s office. So I immediately approached and President Smith motioned me to sit down smiling. “Lilian, I need your help with something today.”
“President Smith, what is it?”
“Well, that’s it… I have a proposal here that I would like you to deliver to the client.”
Hearing those words, I froze in surprise. He asked me to deliver a proposal for a client? Is this not an exaggeration? President Smith seemed to understand what I was thinking and explained: “It’s not just about delivering the proposal. The customer wants to discuss some minor details with you.”
“I understand.” If the client wanted to discuss some issues with the designs, I naturally had to do my part as a designer.
“My driver will send you there, and this is the proposal.” As he spoke, he handed me a document file.

Accepting the documents, I left President Smith’s office. His driver was already waiting for me downstairs, and he started the car and accelerated as soon as I got in the car. Soon, the car took the ring road. So I was surprised. “Is the client out of town?”
