Sir madame has run away again (Lily and Carson) novel Chapter 367

Chapter 367
“I don’t know, as our company is strict in terms of hiring. Even though she’s his junior, she won’t get a high position without first having to rise from the bottom up. However, judging by her prideful attitude, she didn’t look like someone who would be willing to do that.”
“What if President Walker makes an exception for her?”
“That won’t happen as he is strict at work and will never take favourites.”
The clatter of high heels could be heard outside as we talked, as Camille walking through the entryway drew both Jenny’s attention and mine. Camille was looking straight ahead as she walked, so she didn’t notice our presence as she passed. Upon noticing Camille’s arrival, Jenny stood up and said, “Lily, I’m going to leave since Ms. Sanders is here!”
I couldn’t work because I didn’t bring my laptop with me, so I played games on the company computer while I waited for Eric to call me. Two hours passed without Eric’s summons, and instead Jenny appeared again to invite me to lunch. Agreeing to her invitation, we headed to the cafeteria, while Kevin appeared out of nowhere after we got our food. “Lilian, it’s been a
I wore an awkward smile as I looked at him. “It has been a while, in fact.”
“I heard you weren’t feeling well. Are you okay now?” Kevin asked with great concern.
“I’m fine, but I had to take care of things that happened in my husband’s family”
“Are you really married?” The news seemed to leave Kevin unsettled.
“Yes, I have been married for five years and I even have a child.”
“What is your husband’s occupation?” Seemingly incredulous, Kevin thought I was trying to dismiss him.
I chuckled before answering. “My husband is Carson Boyer, president of Axcom Inc.”
Despite his weakness, he finally seemed convinced. “The heavens sure are unfair.”
I ate my meal while ignoring her comment. Although I spent some time thinking about his misfortune, it wasn’t long before he asked me, “If that’s the case, can we be friends? Just normal friends.”
“Well…”
“Please don’t reject me. I’m feeling good enough as I am now. There will be many benefits if you become my friend, one of them being that we can team up to go get some Sichuan cuisine! I have heaps of food I would like to present to you!”
“OK then.” I could only grant his wish for the sincerity he was being, which seemed to help him overcome his sorrows as he quickly regained his cheerful disposition. As I watched him as he talked about amusing things, I realized with great amusement that he was such a lively and happy boy. It was rare to find someone as carefree as he was.
Suddenly, Jenny, who was eating in silence, motioned for us to lower her voice. “President Walker is here.”
I looked toward the entrance to see Eric, Camille, and Callic walking into the cafeteria together. While Callie was smiling, Camille looked sullen, perhaps due to Callie’s presence.
