Let's Get Married novel Chapter 199

The next day, Lily goes to the company with Rex as usual. Approaching the end of the year, the busiest time is almost over. The current work is almost done too. Everyone in the company has entered the most anticipated moment. Along with it, they start to plan for the New Year’s shift.

Most of Han Yu’s employee are not locals. In Lily’s team, only she and Crystal are locals. Thus, she volunteers to be on duty.

“From the fifth to the eighth day, I’m free.” These three days are the least people like to be on duty since it is really tormenting to go back and forth.

Once she says it, everyone is relieved. They can finally pass a stable year without having to go back and forth as before.

Everyone continuously thanked Lily. After being in the company for so long, she finally feels the warmth among her colleagues.

In fact, it is just taking care of each other. About what she can help, she will try to do as much as possible. Over time, everyone’s view of her will change too.

“By the way, do you guys know your new-year award this year?” Lacey gossips, “How much do you guys get?”

“I think it’ll be quite a lot this year. Didn’t Kinsey mention it in the last meeting?”

“Yeah, our company gives much for the new-year award every year. I heard the purchasing department said that they bought a lot of technology in preparation for the annual meeting. At that time, everybody will have one.”

“Really…”

Lily listens to the assortment of noises around her, which makes her feels hot too. Before, she really hates to gossip over ridicule things. At this moment, it feels really warm. After more than half a year of getting along and communicating, from the beginning of being rejected until now, this is the first time Lily blends in the team.

In the evening, the colleagues organize the last group reunion dinner for the year. Kinsey also comes along. Lily texts Rex in advance and follows her colleague’s car to a Sichuan Restaurant near the company.

Kinsey books a private room in advance. Twelve people form a circle just right around the table.

A person orders one dish each. Lily orders duck’s blood and beef tripe spicy soup. Twelve dishes in total. After ordering, for the first time, Kinsey asks everyone, “This is the last dinner of our department for this year, tell me, shall we drink?”

Lacey is the first one to roar, “Come one, I don’t want the white one, beer is enough!”

“Okay, I’ll drink with you!”

A person speaks and the rest do not restrain. Several female colleagues who are good at beer also ask for a few bottles of Craft Beer.

It is quite a lively and pleasant meal. In the end, everybody toasts for Kinsey. All of them say some courtesies. But when it is Lily's turn, she says sincerely, “Kinsey, thank you for willing to trust me and gives me so much support. If it’s not for you, maybe I can’t stay for this long.”

If Julia is still her supervisor, she might have retreated halfway.

Outside the company, Kinsey does not consider herself as their supervisor but merges with them. Once she hears what Lily said, she is laughing like a rewarded little girl, “I’m embarrassed by what your compliment.”

The gossiper colleagues look at Lily, “But Lily, I really didn’t expect you to be good at work. To be honest, there were a lot of prejudices against you at the beginning. I thought you’re employed because of your beauty. Now, it seems that even if you’re really beautiful, you’re still very excellent!”

After three rounds of drinking, everyone starts a conversation openly. Lily too is not laity, she does not mind what he said and jokes back, “Then I’ll accept your compliment.”

“This year ends successfully. We still have to work hard together tomorrow. Let’s be tolerant if there are any bad things to each other before.” Kinsey’s sentence is the key for each other, letting them open their locked heart.

Lily is also happy and inevitably drinks for a few cups. However, she still controls the amount and does not drink much.

It is about half-past eight in the evening when it’s over. It is not early, everyone still has to work tomorrow and each of them returns home. Lily does not let Rex send someone to pick her up. Afraid that it will divert their attention, she calls a cab.

An hour later, the car stops at the gate of the Villa. Lily gets out of the car and unscrews the mineral water in her hand to pour it into her mouth. It is to dilute the alcohol in her mouth.

After repeats it several times, she reaches out to unlock the Villa’s code door.

Scanning her fingertips, the door opens in response with a ding sound.

In the tranquil living room, Fanny is cleaning all by herself. Upon seeing her coming back, she greets her immediately, “You’re back, Lily.”

Lily nods and puts on her home slippers, “Fanny, where’s Rex?”

“He’s with Dr. Karl upstairs.”

Lily is slightly surprised, “They aren’t done yet?”

“Yes, it’s been more than one hour. It might be more complicated than it is.” Fanny’s keen nose smells the alcohol on her body, “Lily, did you drink? Do you want me to cook some sober up soup.”

Lily waves her hand, “No need, Fanny. I didn’t drink much; you don’t have to trouble yourself.”

Lily carries her bag and walks forward. Fortunately, her pace is still stable, there is no embarrassing attitude.

After finally climbing upstairs, when Lily is about to go to the bedroom and when she just touches the door, suddenly she hears a woman’s painful crying from the room at the end of the door.

She pauses and guesses who it is. Her eyebrows slightly twist and her footsteps turn and walk to the other side.

As she moves closer, the scream becomes clearer, depressing, and painful with a sobbing tone. It makes people have goosebumps just by hearing it.

The door of the guest room is not completely closed. Lily does not know whether it’s because of the drunken effect, she raises her hand and pushes the door open directly.

In the bedroom, a half-height white instrument is glowing brightly. These lights are shinning all over Marina’s body. She is wearing a white isolation suit but still cannot stop the strong light from stimulating her.

Her expression is very painful. One of her hands grabs Rex’s arm deadly. The latter seems unbearable to look down. He looks away while soothing her back repeatedly.

The distress in her eyes almost overflows. The trembling palm offers a pity and intolerance to this man.

Even though it is necessary for inspection, Lily’s heart still stabs when she sees this scene. No one likes their own man has intimate contact with another woman. However, she says nothing.

Lily has stood at the door for nearly five minutes when Karl finally discovers her, “Lily, you’re back.”

Rex looks at the voice. Before, he was just concentrating on Marina’s condition and does not aware of her presence.

The big palm leaves Marina’s body, but his arm is still grasped by her. Thus, he could not walk away but only uses his eyes to slightly hint her.

There is an unspeakable feeling in Lily’s heart. Upon seeing Karl is also busy, she pulls out a reluctant smile and turns to exit the room tactfully.

The door is closed, isolating everything that happens inside. By standing at the corridor, Lily gently closes her eyes as if it will lessen her worries. She can only silently pray in her heart that such days will not last long.
