A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure novel Chapter 168

If that was the case, then it would possibly explain why she would feel a time malposition when she woke up in the hotel last time. She remembered it was exactly Tuesday, but when she woke up that day, it was Thursday.

It turns out that she has lost the memories about what has happened on the night of Wednesday.

“Oh my, how could this happen?” The memory is so vivid and Lily rolls on the bed with an emotional flooding, “If I had known the effect of that pill, I wouldn’t have taken it!”

Now that she finds back the lost memories, how should she get along with Louis later? It is really awkward!

Right at this moment, Lily receives a message from Meghan, who tells her that there are some emergencies in the Smith Group. Lily tells her that she will go to the company immediately and quickly changes her clothes. Before leaving, she calls a maid and asks her to come to the villa.

“Lily!”

Just as Lily enters the revolving door, someone bumps onto her back. Jessie walks over, “Wow, what a rare thing! How comes that you’re here? Aren’t you afraid that your President Smith would feel unhappy?”

Lily shoots her a cold glance, “Go away!”

“Oh, you are not the Lily who used to favor me. You were so fierce just now.” Jessie pretends to be upset and cries. She then asks with a gossipy expression, “You look toil-worn today. What happened? Did President Smith ‘bully’ you?” Jessie deliberately emphasizes the word ‘bully’.

Lily’s heart misses one beat. “Don’t think wildly.”

“Your expression tells me about it.”

“…”

“Will you come back at noon? If you won’t, what about having lunch with me? I found a wonderful restaurant and the steak there is really delicious!”

“Nah.”

Jessie sighs, “Lily, you’re gradually like the indifferent President Smith.”

“…”

Jessie chirps while walking beside Lily and takes out her card to swipe the elevator to higher floors. The two walk into the lift and when the door is about to be closed, it is abruptly stopped by a hand.

“Hi, morning.”

It is Leigh who is in a black suit. With a pair of long legs, he looks quite attractive in the suit, which diminishes some of his undisciplined aura and adds some elitism to him.

If having not seen his face, Lily would fail to recognize him, “Why are you here?”

“The situation in the Smith Group is getting worsen, and I come to give you a hand for fear that you have no enough time to handle it.” Leigh walks into the lift and tries to sweet talk Jessie, “Hey, little pretty, have you had breakfast?”

“What?” Jessie subconsciously nods her head and glances at him, “You look handsome in this suit. Don’t dress like a showy rooster in the future.”

Leigh’s mouth corner twitches. He then smiles gracefully, “All right then. If you like it, I can wear a suit for the whole day.”

Lily casts her eyes heavenward.

Hey man, your approaches of catching up the girl are really poor!

As the lift is ascending, Leigh tries to find some topics to chat with Jessie and leans towards her. Nevertheless, in the eyes of Lily, he looks like a man who hasn’t gotten along with girls for a long time.

When the lift reaches Jessie’s floor, Leigh says hurriedly, “Let’s have lunch together. I’ll treat you.”

“All right, but let me pay the bill, just as my gratitude for the flowerpots you sent me last time.”

Leigh beams with smiles.

Lily skews at him and snorts, “I was so inexpedient. If I had known that you would come earlier, I would have turned on the video recording so that you can have a look on your current appearance!”

“My elegance and handsomeness?” Leigh reaches out and leans half of his body on her shoulder, “I’m quite confident in my handsomeness. If I were to be a celebrity, then other stars would find it hard to attract fans.”

“Yet, your appearance matches some ‘characters’ well.” Lily elbows him away, “If you’re boring, you can wander around the Smith Group. We got many beauties here.”

“Nah, I like the type like Little Fairy.”

“She doesn’t like you. Don’t be self-sentimental.” Lily sulks.

“Feelings can be cultivated in daily life. I’m not in a hurry.” Leigh smiles and elbows Lily, “What about you recognizing Little Fairy as your younger sister?”

“What are you plotting?”

“If I successfully become her boyfriend, they I were to be your brother-in-law. Just as the old saying goes, it is like keeping the goodies within the family.”

“…”

“Or you can also recognize me as your younger brother.”

“You must have been bewitched.” Lily looks at him with disgust, as if she is looking at a fool, “You’re several years older than me. Don’t you feel it shameful to call me elder brother? Even if you don’t, I would feel ashamed to answer it.”

Leigh grins, “It doesn’t matters. I look young.”

Lily doesn’t want to continue to talk with him on these nonsenses.

She is really upset now. Earlier, she learnt that her younger brother is a gay, and before she could digest the news, Leigh, that bastard, gave her a pill, helping her find back the memories of that passionate night.

She is really bothered!

Lily has gone to the Smith Group early in the morning and has had three meetings, on which Leigh also presents.

Leigh always comes to the Smith Group. But over the past several days, Lily has been busy with taking care of Louis in the villa and hasn’t noticed it. As Jeffrey was arrested for corruption, Leigh takes his place and becomes the general manager of the international department.

Although Leigh looks undisciplined and always plays jokes in daily times, when it comes to the meeting concerning the business of the company, he becomes tough-talking instantly, which scares the employees and other directors.

Lily suddenly has a feeling that she is still immature comparing to Leigh, who has been engaged in the business world for several years.

How came that Master Smith appoint her as the acting President of the Smith Group? Was he so confident in her?

After the meeting, Lily devotes herself into various kinds of documents, most of which are about the problems from the braches, which cause the freezing of found and therefore the resignations of numerous employees.

Since that accident happened on Louis, the Smith Group has gone through various kinds of crises and is now on the verge of bankruptcy. It is like a teetering domino and one can easily destroy it with only one finger.

The negative news of the Smith Group and the red marks on the sheets make Lily exhausted both mentally and physically. She devotes herself into the work and even refuses Jessie when she comes to invite her to have lunch together.

“President Lily.”

A secretary from the Secretary Department comes into the office with an insulation container and hands it to Lily, “It’s the lunch sent by Mr. Dawn. I’ve examined it and it is safe.”

Lily frowns.

Mr. Dawn… It must be that man.

Lily doesn’t ask the secretary to throw it; instead, she opens the container and finds a card on the top and smells the strong aroma of the chicken soup and rice with shredded pork.

She unfolds the card and reads the words.

[Don’t forget to have meals. I’m looking forward to meeting you again.”

She then throws it into the trash basket emotionlessly.

She will not meet him again.

In the evening, Lily comes back with Jessie to her apartment instead of coming to Louis’ villa. Jessie is surprises and keeps asking her what had happened. Lily casually finds some excuses as she doesn’t want to continue this topic.

During the following days, Lily would take the affairs in the company as an excuse and come back to Jessie’s apartment as well after dealing the business affairs in the company.

On the other hand, Leigh, after having that lunch with Jessie, is not satisfied and tries hard to chase after Jessie. No matter when Lily and Jessie arrive at the company, they would ‘accidently’ meet him at the entrance.

Lily surrenders.

“President Lily.” Meghan comes to Lily’s office and asks politely, “The gifts for the Mid-Autumn Festival to our employees have been ready. Please have a check to see whether there are any problems.”

Lily stuns, “Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival?”

Meghan replies, “Yeah. We published the announcement yesterday, and notified our employees that they can get off work at three o’clock in this afternoon.”

Then, Louis will come back to the Smith Manor to celebrate the festival with his families, right?

“President Lily?”

“Yes?” Lily instantly comes to her own senses. She glances at the gift list and then asks, “Are there any other shopping cards?”

“Yeah.”

“Give every C-level executives a shopping card with an amount of ten thousand.”

“Alright.” Then Meghan leaves.

Lily picks up her phone, intending to send a message to Louis, but she pauses when she opens her WeChat.

What’s her standpoint to spend the festival in the Smith Manor?

In addition, Louis acts as if she’s not that important and hasn’t given her a call or sent her a WeChat message although she hasn’t went to the villa for several days. Then why should she make the call and ask him whether he needs her help?!

Lily sulks. Nevertheless, just as she puts down the phone, she receives a phone call from Louis.
