A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure novel Chapter 60

"Well, it's the myocardial infarction caused by overwork." Louis is calm. "The company will compensate Leon for with a large sum of money to take care of his daughter until she goes to the college."

Lily thinks of the loophole in the contract again. She always feels that things are not simple, but she doesn’t know anything, and she doesn't know how to tell Louis.

Louis says lightly, "Is the acting minister of your department Julian?"

Lily nods.

"No one notifies me and just let her take the job." Louis snorts, his face getting sullener. A senior executive just died, and other executives start to take actions."

"Julian is really capable and she is a veteran of the translation department." Lily tells the truth. Although Julian is not sophisticated enough, she is really excellent.

Louis says in a deep voice, "Your minister should tell you that she is from the vice president. The vice president has already placed several people in other departments. I can't let Julian be the minister again."

Lily only listens and doesn’t say anything.

Sometimes, the internal struggles of the high-level are fiercer than those below them. The vice presidents cultivate their own people. The Smith Group has divided by three influences.

But Louis is developing the overseas markets, and he can’t be distracted.

"When I win the cooperation, I will stay in the country, and someone will be in charge of the New York branch." Louis says, "Your minister mentioned you several times before."

Not only Leon, in fact, when Lily went to the villa to help him, Louis noticed that Lily is really excellent, and she is highly efficient in job. She is indeed a talent.

"Mr. Louis, I'm not interested in being the minister." Lily whispers. If she has ambitions, she would compete for that position. But now she is wondering about Leon's death.

The translation department is indeed busy, and sometimes you may have to deal with the documents when you receive an email in the early morning. But staying up late and causing myocardial infarction are a bit strange.

"Your minister has high expectations for you, just think about it again." Louis does not force her again, "We have to stay in Turkey for a while, and when we come back, we will deal with these things."

"Thank you, Mr. Louis."

Turkey is a crossroads connecting Europe and Asia. Its economy is developing fast, and it has the exotic charm, but it is not so beautiful as described in the book.

Turkey is very alert and dislikes outsiders. Apart from the major cities of Istanbul and Izmir, other places are very cruel, and tourists dare not go to have fun.

They settle in the Park Hyatt Makchika Palace in Istanbul.

There are very few guests in the hotel at this time. The front desk quickly arranges rooms for Louis and Lily. The waiter asks Louis in English if he needs to lead the way. Louis refuses.

"I feel like I've been this hotel before." Lily frowns as she takes the elevator upstairs.

Louis glances at her, "Have you been to Istanbul?"

"No, I just think it familiar." Lily looks up suddenly and exclaims, "Oh, I got it. Daniel Craig's 007 series shoot in this hotel!"

"I don’t know that you will like action movies." Louis chuckles, "You are similar to Chloe. She likes to watch action movies, and she likes all kinds of thrillers."

When he mentions Chloe, Lily purses her lips and asks, "Mr. Louis, I think you are very fond of Miss Chloe. Are you dating?"

"How do you see that we are dating?"

"From Miss Chloe's attitude to me." Lily thinks of Chloe's hatred of her, and she twitches her lips lightly, "No matter how I explain, she treats me as a rival."

Louis raises his thin lips and smiles, "She likes to rely on whoever she loves, and she is a little capricious. But we are not dating. I just pamper her as a little princess."

"..."

He doesn’t love her, but spoils her as a little princess. She is afraid that if Chloe hear that, she would scream again.

"Huh?" Louis seems to notice something on Lily's body, and his eyes change instantly. He approaches Lily, and she almost backs away.

"Mr. Louis, what's wrong?"

Louis gestures her to keep quiet, and Lily doesn’t speak again. She sees Louis reach out and touch on the collar of her short sleeve.

When he takes back his hand, a thumb-sized bug is lying on his palm.

After breaking the bug, Louis says, "Maybe it’s John who puts it there."

"He's too boring." Lily's pretty face is cold. She didn't expect a bug to be placed on her. She knows John's purpose is to win the business.

Then they reach the floor.

Louis gives Lily the room card. His fingers are slender and strong, and he says calmly, "It's okay, I live right next to you. You go back and have a good rest. I'll call you when it’s time to eat."

"Okay." Lily takes the room card.

The room is decorated with local style. It’s very exotic, and there is a big bathtub. Lily is sticky and wants to take a bath, but she doesn’t have clothes.

She checks her phone and numerous messages flood in. The most worried one is Jessie, asking if she was captured by aliens in the middle of the night.

And Julian also mentions her in a group chat, asking her what is going on.

Without Louis's permission, Lily doesn’t tell anyone that she has been abroad. She can only lie to Julian that she has returned to her hometown to attend the funeral her relatives.

She goes to wash her face, takes some food out of the refrigerator, and checks her phone again, only to find that Julian is mocking her.

On the way to the airport in the early morning, she sends several messages to Julian, saying that there is an urgent matter to deal with, so she asks for leave. Julian is chatting in the group chat, so she can receive Lily’s messages, but she still mentions Lily in the group chat and satirizes her.

"If not for Joey that idiot, I won’t be here!" Lily takes a bite of the apple. If Joey isn't that greedy, she wouldn't go abroad to help Louis discuss the business.

Lily then calls Coffey.

At this moment, Coffey and her are separated by three floors. They live in different rooms on the same building. Coffey is lying on the balcony and she can see him when she looks down.

Coffey takes the magazine off his face and takes the phone.

When he sees it is Lily who calls him, he is nervous and quickly gets up from the recliner. He coughs a bit before answering the phone.

"Sister, what's the matter?"

"I'm your sister. Can’t I call you?" Lily grumbles, "I'm traveling abroad and want to ask if you have anything you need."

What a coincidence. He is also on a business trip.

"No, sister, just pay attention to your own safety." Coffey lies to her, "I don't lack anything at school, but I have too much homework."

"Then I will buy you some gifts." Lily mumbles, "When I travel abroad and don’t buy some gifts, I will feel I have wasted the trip. If you lack money, tell me. Don't go over the wall."

Coffey touches his head and sighs, "I really can’t go over the wall."

Only children would do that kind of thing.

While Coffey is talking on the phone, there are knocks on the door. It seems like that someone is looking for him, so he says to Lily, "Sister, I’m having class. I'll call you later." Then he hangs up.

"Mr. Louis." When he opens the door and sees Louis outside, Coffey greets, "What’s up?"
