Chapter 218 Take Care of Yourself
Lyra had already guessed the purpose of Terry’s visit. She had nothing to be afraid of. The only thing she was worried about was that Hank could not come back as promised.
At this time, Terry’s face was already gloomy. He played with the several contract books in his hand and smiled with contempt. “Before I came, I really didn’t expect that the relationship between Ms. Jones and Mr. Barnwell would be so firm. Even if you have to take the risk of being sued, you have to wait for Mr. Barnwell. After Lyra was constantly pressured by him, she kept asking herself whether it was worth it to do this!
If she were to lower her head to Terry now… “Also, you already know about the matter between me and Alma?” He narrowed his eyes and said coldly without waiting for Lyra to reply, “Then I’m sorry. I absolutely can not allow you to continue working with the Barnwell group.” With the entanglement of benefits, his eyes revealed endless coldness. The hand under Lyra’s sleeve slowly clenched into a fist. “Since we’ve already talked so far, I’m not afraid to tell you. I have a lot of evidence that can make you and Alma be spurned and turned into ashes. I don’t care about anything by myself. But if President Xiao’s current status and reputation are ruined, it would be a pity.” Lyra turned around, her eyes full of stubbornness. “You are ruthless. Then you should take care of yourself.” Terry’s face darkened. He got up quickly, slammed the door, and left. Lyra suddenly lost her breath and collapsed on the chair. It could be seen that a villain like Terry would retaliate against her sooner or later. Lyra was thinking about how to protect herself. Her phone suddenly rang. She thought it was Hank calling, but when she looked at the screen, it was an unfamiliar number. Lyra hesitated for a moment and pressed the answer button. “Hello?” “Miss Lyra, is it? I am Jimmy. I have a design draft for a set of catwalk ornaments. I wonder if you are willing to join my team. Of course, the commission will be based on the market price.” “Of course I’m willing, but… I still have something on hand, so I can’t leave.” Lyra looked troubled.
“It doesn’t matter. I’ll send the design draft to your email. We can talk over the phone.” Soon, Lyra received the design draft sent by Jimmy. Coincidentally, when she saw the design, she felt that it was very familiar, but she could not remember where she had seen it before.
After asking Jimmy, she found out that this was a sketch of the buyer. Based on the confidentiality of the customer’s information, he could not tell her too much.
Lyra could understand this.
But she always felt that she had seen this design draft before, and it was even possible that she had seen the finished product. But she could not remember.
“It’s all my fault. I dragged you down and you have to take care of me.” Sister Zhang felt sorry. Lyra raised her head and smiled. “Sister Zhang, it is because I am accompanying you in the hospital that I am able to get such a good opportunity. It is you who has brought me good luck.” Lyra smiled calmly, without any hint of insincerity.
Sister Zhang looked at her and sighed silently. She even coughed a few times.
“I’ll get you some hot water.” Lyra immediately went over to help her pat her back and breathe.
She took the thermos cup and walked out. Sister Zhang sat on the hospital bed, her face becoming more and more skinny. She said to herself, “How good it would be if that hadn’t happened.”
The next morning, Lyra helped Sister Zhang with the discharge procedures.
Hank sent a driver to pick them up, but he never appeared.
“When will Mr. Barnwell come back?” Lyra helped Sister Zhang get out of the car and could not help but ask.
The driver was stunned. “Mr. Barnwell has already come back. He went to the Kensley family just now.”
When Lyra heard the two words “Kensley family”, the brilliance between her eyebrows sank.
