A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure novel Chapter 147

"Didn't you say you'd come and see me when thing is all over? Why did you take that long?" Louis interrupts, and his eyes look dark.

Leigh shudders.

"Oh, yes." Leigh stammers, "I just, just had a meeting with the managers."

Seeing that Leigh doesn't look right, Lily looks up at the central air conditioner and wonders, "It's not too cold. Why are you shaking, Mr. Leigh?"

Leigh rubs his arms. "I feel cold. Maybe I'm weak."

"..."

Louis feels uncomfortable watching them having a good talk, and interjects, "I sent message to Meghan to send Lily back, so you take the car to the office."

"What about you, President Smith?" asks Lily.

"I have some business to attend to, and Leigh will take me home later."

"That will do." Lily no longer refuses.

She wants to go back to work. Since Louis calls Meghan to take her back, it will save her a lot of time.

"Louis, she is the acting President of the Smith Group. She is President Lily." Leigh jokes, "How can you keep calling her Miss Lily? It sounds a bit estranged."

When Lily heard this, she quickly waves her hand and says nervously, "No, it's good for President Smith to call me Miss Lily! Besides, I can't afford to be called President Lily. President Smith, Mr. Leigh, I'm leaving now."

As Lily turns to leave, Louis suddenly chuckles, "President Lily, come on."

Lily stumbles and nearly falls over when she hears this.

It’s killing her! Why does she feel strange to be called President Lily by Louis?

She walks faster and is soon out of sight.

Leigh laughs when Lily looks awkward. "Louis, she is so funny, I can't stop laughing! Maybe she freaked out when you called her "President Lily", and you scared her so much that she almost ran."

Louis gives him a chilly look. "Laugh again if you dare?"

"I'm not laughing. I just had a facial cramp." Leigh coughs, tactfully changing the subject. "Daniel and Justin are in the private room. Louis, I'll push you through."

"No, thank you." Louis pats his hand away, and runs the wheelchair by himself.

Leigh is stunned.

Why can Lily push the wheelchair for him, but he can’t? Is Louis so disgusted of him?

As if he senses something, Leigh quickly flips on his headset and whispers, "Hey, Harley, check which room Louis has been to just now and what did he do. Send the situation to me on messages."

He feels he is missing out on something wonderful.

When Louis opens the door and enters the private room, he sees Daniel and Justin chatting. He does not know what they are talking about that makes Daniel, who has always been expressionless, smiles a little.

"What are you talking about?" Louis asks with a smile. Only when he gets together with Daniel and Justin and Leigh, does he put his guard down and look relaxed, "And it makes Daniel laugh?"

"Louis." Justin, seeing Louis come in by himself, gets up from the sofa at once. "Where's Leigh?"

"Well, here I am!” Leigh emerges from behind Louis and explains, "I just tried to push Louis here. Louis didn't let me do it. I'm not to be blamed!"

Justin glances at him. "Are you making Louis mad again?"

"Oh, no, I didn't!" Leigh cries out, "It's Louis who declined my help. I think Louis values hoes before bros. He asked Miss Lily to help me but he refused my help."

Suddenly, three pairs of eyes are focused on Louis, full of inquiry.

"What's that nonsense?" Louis replies, not turning a hair. "You smell so sweaty and I don't feel comfortable at smelling it. Well, take a seat.” Then he pushes the wheelchair into the room.

Justin doesn't ask further, but offers Louis a cup of tea. "Olivia Smith and Richard Smith have been secretly buying up a lot of performance stocks in the Smith Group these days, and the price isn't low."

"My aunt always likes to splurge, and her son needs money to maintain relationships, so she doesn't have much money." Louis says flatly, "Most of it is Richard's."

"Richard is sly," Daniel says in a deep voice, his eyes hanging down. "If he really takes over the Smith Group, he wouldn’t bear Olivia and he would drive her out.”

"Hey, isn’t that good? It saves us many troubles." says Leigh.

But Justin looks a bit serious. "I believe Olivia would know about it since we could have guessed that. And I wonder why Richard has so much liquidity. He already owns fifteen percent of the original stock in the Smith Group."

"Wasn't it six percent before?" Leigh gasps. "How many shareholders did he actually contact?"

Louis didn't worry much, but says, "My father and I own most of the original shares of the Smith Group. Lily has taken back some of the original shares from the shareholders, so he can't overturn the situation."

Justin nods understandingly and laughs. "It seems like Louis has everything arranged. Now all we have to do is wait until Lily gets things done and trick Richard returning back the original shares he holds."

"Take your time. If you make it too obvious, they'll notice." Louis taps his finger on the back of his chair. "Leigh, make an appointment with Mr. Smollett from the Dragon Fly Company and say I have something to ask for him."

"Why ask him out?" It’s hard to return him the favor once you owe him. What can't I do?"

Justin also looks puzzled. "Yeah, Louis, just tell us if you need help. You don’t know how much you lose once you ask for Smollett’s help."

At this moment, Leigh's phone beeps.

He quietly takes out his mobile phone to check it, and after a while, he raises his head, showing a knowing smile. He goes to hook Louis's shoulder, and smirks, "Hey, I know why Louis wants to ask for Smollett's help."

Louis claps his hands away. "I told you to stay away from me. You smell sweaty!"

"What?" asks Daniel.

Leigh says with a cheeky smile, "It's Daniel who suggested to come to the club. But you know what, Daniel. I just texted Louis, saying that I would pick him up, and he was at the club."

"I thought you can foresee the situation so you came to the club early, but Louis knew that Miss Lily was here, so he asked someone to send himself to support her." continues Leigh.

Louis's mouth twitches, "You're too noisy. Shut up, will you?"

Justin smiles. "Fine. Louis. We don't think it's noisy. Leigh, go on."

Daniel puts on an air of being very attentive.

“If you want to hear it that way, I'll go on!” Leigh is so excited to hear the big gossip that it takes him six minutes to tell everything about Field in the private room.

For a while, the room is quiet.

Louis rubs his eyebrows and doesn't want to talk.

"Besides Chloe, this is the first time I've ever seen Louis backed up a woman." Justin quips, "It seems that Miss Lily is really capable, and Louis appreciates her."

"NO! NO!" Leigh shakes his head and says bluntly, "Chloe hasn’t gotten this kind of treatment, okay? Did you see Louis teach his Ellison a lesson to back up Chloe? No, right?"
