Let's Get Married novel Chapter 331

The guests attending this party are all rich and powerful persons, so she bets that Kinsley would not drive her out – he won’t do such kind of thankless thing.

As expected, Kingsley finally takes her to the VIP reception room on the second floor.

In addition to Kingsley, there is another man in the room who is named Freddie. He is also a Chinese and is the senior vice president of Bit Inc.

Lily walks over and stretches out her right hand casually, "Hello, Mr. Derrick, I am Lydia, the attorney in charge of the workplace injury case of Davy."

Freddie stretches out and shakes hand with her, blurting out a pun, “I’ve heard a lot about you, Lawyer Lydia.”

“Oh, sorry for bothering you. If I have disappointed you, I should apologize in advance.”

“I remember we didn’t send you an invitation, right?” Freddie distains her – Lily can easily read this through his expression.

Knowing that he deliberately showed such kind of expression to embarrass her, she tucks her hair behind the ear, “I couldn’t figure out a way to meet you two. There are so many obstacles in my case, but Bit Inc. has been avoiding meeting me. So I have to use this method.”

Freddie snorts coldly and glances at her from top to toe. Maybe it is because that he doesn’t expect that the attorney in charge of this case, who has been eagerly investigating this case, turns out to be a young lady, he doesn’t take her seriously. His attitude is therefore shown in his tone, “What’s your purpose for coming here? What do you want to say?”

“I want to negotiate with you about the compensation for Davy.”

“We will compensate him, and the amount of compensation is negotiable. But as for the apology statements, we have repeatedly emphasized that we can apologize to him verbally and that we won’t agree with any other form of apology.”

Lily is amused by his plausible attitude, “Davy’s appeals are all legitimate. Then I want to ask you, what’s your reason for denying his appeal? Is your refusal supported by laws?”

Does he think that he can control everything with only one sentence and make everything progress as his expectation?

She doesn’t expect that a C-level executive of a listed company can be so knavish! Lily tries hard to suppress the resentment in her heart and ‘discuss’ with him.

Both Kingsley and Freddie are firm in their positions, but Lily doesn’t plans to make a concession. Just as the talks are in a stalemate, with a clatter, the door of the reception room is pushed open from outside.

A tall man, with an imposing aura, walks slowly into the brightly lit room.

Lily, who has her back to the door, can’t see who is coming. But Kingsley and Freddie can, and their expressions are quickly changed – there are admiration and worship on their faces.

The two hastily trots over to greet him, and Lily just feels a gust of wind passing by her. Just she wants to turn around and see who the guest is, Freddie flatters, “Mr. Rex, you are finally here.”

Lily is completely dumbfounded, as if her feet are nailed in place so that she can’t move a little. The words ‘Mr. Rex’ has conquered her mind and ears.

Wearing a backless dress, her back is uncovered. At this time, her back seems to be frozen. She tenses herself, listening carefully and then hears a familiar male voice –

“What’s going on in the party?”

His voice is low and charming, and there is a trace of sexy hoarseness in his manly voice. She has heard this voice for numerous days and nights, so it is impossible for her not to recognize him.

When he spat out the first word, she subconsciously tried to discern whose voice it belonged to.

Lily’s face becomes bloodless and her mind goes blank. She can’t think of anything. Her palm-sized face is terribly pale. And she even reels a little. The accelerated heartbeat makes she so panicked and she even feels sick and wants to vomit.

Why is he here?

Lily has no mood to listen to what they are talking about because of the panic. However, since there are only four people in the VIP reception room, it is so weird that Lily is standing there having her back to them. Therefore, Rex soon notices her.

Rex glances at her slender silhouette and is stunned by the familiar height and figure. He feels her familiar!

Noticing his gaze, Freddie and Kingsley are panicked. They can’t allow this kind of sandal to be exposed to Rex, one of their company’s investor, so they subconsciously shift the topic, “Mr. Rex, it is late now. Shall you go to the banquet to deliver a speech?”

Rex doesn’t reply. He just stares at the woman’s back with scorching gaze, and even his assistant can’t figure out what he is thinking.

The room is suddenly overwhelmed by silence. The more he looks at the woman’s back, the more he feels nervous, as if he is standing on the edge of a cliff.

Lily can feel the scorching gaze fixed on her back. It seems that his gaze is going to burn her, and she feels hot. Just as she thinks that he will shift his gaze, she suddenly finds that the man moves and is walking towards her!

Lily hastily lowers her head, her hands on her side are gradually clenched into fists and her shoulders tremble slightly.

Noticing her reaction, Rex slightly narrows his sharp eyes and quickens his pace.

Lily just keeps her head lowered to avoid this. Until she sees the bright black men’s business leather shoes, she realizes that everything is late. She has no place to hide and has to be exposed.

Their gazes meet in the air. It seems that a century has passed and countless scenes of when she was getting alone with him flash in her mind like a movie. With his appearance, the memories that she once thought she had forgotten becomes especially clear at this moment.

The man standing in front of her in this unfamiliar space is the one who used to sleep by her side every night. There seems to be an explosion in her mind and she can hardly think.

He is wearing a fashionable V-neck white shirt in a dark gray satin suit and does not wear a tie a bow tie. The shirt is tucked into the waist of the trousers, from which she can vaguely feel the muscles on his flat abdomen, and the tailored suit jacket outlines the man’s wide shoulders.

It seems that he hasn’t aged a day. There are no lines or winkles on his face and his facial features are still outstanding. His lips are slightly closed, exuding an aura of arrogance and aloofness and making people not dare to look into his eyes.

This man, followed by a special assistant and seven or eight staffs, stands in front of her. Five years has passed and he is now more mature and sophisticated. He doesn’t need to restrain or disguise himself anymore and his every movement can attract people’s attention.

This is an unexpected encounter for both Lily and Rex.

When Rex sees her face, he can’t keep calm anymore. The calmness shown on his face is just a disguise of the turbulence in his heart.

He has been missing this woman every day and night in the past five years. Now, she unexpectedly appears.

She is beautiful and fashionable in a gorgeous and decent dress and with short hair. Her skin is white and tender, which adds some charms to her. Even the luxurious dress cannot make people shift their gaze from her face.

The only difference is her aura. Unlike the innocent girl five years ago, she is now a gorgeous and mature woman.

Over the past five years, he had been tortured by ‘her death’, but she was living a good life!
