A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure novel Chapter 117

The agitation in Lily's heart has calmed down. But she feels heartbroken when she suddenly sees the candy and red envelope on the table.

It happens that Nancy comes in to deliver the documents.

Lily throws the candies and red envelope to her. "I don't like candies. You can take them away."

"Ah, yes." Nancy is stunned and asks cautiously, "Miss Lily, is it because we didn't do our work well? You seem to be in a bad mood these days...”

Others can tell she's in a bad mood?

Lily looks slightly startled and smiles, "You are doing a good job. It’s my problems."

"Tell me if you are in need."

Nancy quickly leaves and takes the box of candies away, leaving the red envelope.

Lily stares at the document in front of her. After reading it for a while, the words began to become densely packed, and finally become the contents of the newspaper she saw before. She couldn't help holding her forehead.

What's wrong with her? Why is she so upset?

She didn't have much contact with Louis, but she talked a few more with Louis during the business trip in Turkey. After returning back, she still did her own work. How could she fall in love with him?

The screen of her phone on the desk lights up, displaying the new message.

It’s from Louis. “Miss Lily, I'd like to invite you to dinner. I'll meet you at the Red House restaurant at seven this evening.

Lily's fingertips quiver when she clicks on this message.

Louis hasn't contacted her for so many days, and he doesn't even had found her on the WeChat. Why can he invite her for dinner tonight?

Did he send to the wrong person?

But the first two words are "Miss Lily".

This WeChat message makes Lily absent-minded all day, wandering whether she should go having dinner with Louis, until after getting off work, she decides to go home with Jessie.

As soon as Lily gets out of the lift, she sees Meghan outside. Meghan is obviously waiting for hers.

Meghan smiles and says, "Miss Lily, it is raining outside. Mr. Louis is afraid that it is not convenient for you to go the restaurant, so he asks me to drive you to Red House restaurant. Is that ok?"

“Yes!” Before Lily replies, Jessie, who is sitting next to her, answered for her, "Well, I will go home alone."

She gestures at Lily and slips out to take a taxi.

Lily is speechless.

It is more congested than usual on rainy days, and the car drives very slowly. When they arrive at the Red House restaurant, it’s 7,20.

Lily opens the door of the restaurant and enters. Without asking the waiter, she sees Louis sitting by the window leaning against the chair. He seems to be making a phone call, with a slight smile on his lips.

She purses her lips and goes over.

"Mr. Louis."

When Louis looks up and sees Lily coming, he whispers a few words to the other end of the phone, and then hangs up the phone. He gets up to help Lily pull away the chair, making it too late for Lily to do it herself.

The waiter brings the menu. Lily looks at it and orders two meals.

When the waiter leaves, Lily could not help asking, "Mr. Louis, why invite me for dinner? Does there something happen?"

"No, I just want to treat you to dinner." Louis smiles faintly.

Lily finds that Louis's face now seems to have a little more smile and comfort. In previous days, he is indifferent and alienated, and he was easy to get along with but kept a distance from others.

Is it because of the engagement?

Louis takes out an ink-blue gift box from his pocket and pushes it to Lily, "Miss Lily, this is a gift for you."

Lily takes the gift box and opens it.

On the velvet is a necklace, the end of which is engraved with the words of Van Cleef & Arpels, and under the thin chain is Néonatal written in French with diamonds.

Néonatal means new born.

Lily is dazzled by the jewel, but in a few seconds, she closes the box and pushes it back. "Thank you, Mr. Louis. I can afford the jewel. As well as the small castle that Mr. Louis gave me, when Miss Meghan, please ask her to get it back when you are free."

"Miss Lily, I sent you a gift to thank you, and I didn't mean anything else." says Louis, "You can afford this thing, so they're not a burden to you."

Lily shakes her head. "I shouldn’t take anything for nothing. I am very grateful to Mr. Louis for offering me an apartment for only 800,000 dollars. I will try my best to work for the Smith Group and for Mr. Louis."

Her tone is cold, and she address him as "Mr. Louis," which makes Louis a bit annoyed.

At this time, he thinks it is much better to call him Louis before.

"Then think of it as a celebration." Louis pushes the box back at her, smiles, "You got promoted to be the manager at the Regulators, and I haven’t congratulated you."

"No..."

Lily wants to say something else. She returns the gift box, but Louis puts his hand on the box and looks at her sullenly. Lily's hand trembles and she finally accepts the gift.

The delicate food is brought up, and they eat and seldom speak.

Once in a while, Louis would ask her about the company and whether the tasks are difficult to handle. Lily says all things go well. She wants to ask about his engagement, but she can't say it out.

When they leave the restaurant after eating, it is still raining and the air is a little dull.

Louis drives the car over and insists on driving Lily back.

It's so quiet in the car that Lily can hear her own breathing. She looks sideways at Louis who is driving and then says, "Mr. Louis, congratulations on your engagement,"

Louis nods and says, "Originally, it is enough for two of our families to have a meal for the engagement, but Stella has a special status in the Scott family, so I told the media to issue a notice to save her face."

"Is that so? It looks like Mr. Louis loves Miss Stella very much." Lily holds the gift box tightly in her hand, which makes her hands hurt. "When it comes to Miss Stella, you tone changes. It seems that you are really happy."

Louis sensitively feels that Lily is not right today, so he looks at her from the corner of his eye. Lily lowers her head and holds the gift box tightly, with her lips pressing tightly. He couldn't see the expression on her face, and he feels strange.

Does she have a crush on him?

Louis reaches out to tug at his tie. He tries to say something, but finally simply says, "There are documents in the drawer in front of you. Go back and check it. I need your help.”

"Yes." Lily answers, opens the car drawer and takes out the documents from inside.

By the time they have come out of the restaurant, the rain is tapering off and seems to stop. But now it rains more heavily and crackles on the glass.

Louis tilts his head slightly, looks in the rearview mirror, and seems to see something. A sneer flickers under his eyes. Then he puts his foot on the throttle to accelerate and the car dashes out.

Lily leans back, tugs at the handlebars and reminds him, "Mr. Louis, drive slowly in rainy days."

She's in no hurry to get back.

Just at the moment when Lily's words fall, a retrograde car with high beam suddenly appears in front of her. The blinding light makes Lily hardly open her eyes, but she feels the car is shaking and hits something.

Then, in a whirl, she almost flies out of her seat, the airbag slamming onto her. The next second, the car flips over, knocking her head and making her dizzy.
