Chapter 407: Stop Kicking! Behave Yourself!
After Lily gets the luggage, she calls John as she walks out.
Because she focuses on the suitcase, she runs into a passer-by, which makes the passport and
sunglasses of that person fall to the ground. Lily's mobile phone also falls off.
"Excuse me."
Lily quickly squats down and picks up everything for the passer-by.
"Thank you." A hand reaches out to take them. The voice is sweat and clean, which sounds very
pleasant.
Lily purses her lips and looks up with a smile. The passer-by is a slender woman in a tight suit. Her
long hair scatters on her shoulders and her eyes are quite bright. She's really attractive.
When Lily sees the woman clearly, her smile freezes and she's stunned.
Sofia Jones, manager of R Department in the Smith Group.
"Lily?" Sofia also recognizes Lily and quickly reaches out to her, "When I first arrived at the Smith
Group, I often heard other employees talk about you, the former manager."
"Hello." Lily politely shakes hands with her. She shows a faint and alienated smile. "I left the Smith
Group a long time ago. I've been abroad all this time, and I didn't have time to read the news. So you
are?"
"So you have been abroad during the past period of time." Sofia's smile is still bright. "Let me introduce
myself. I'm Sofia, new manager of R Department in the Smith Group."
Lily loosens her hand and holds the lever of the suitcase. "Congratulations. The Smith Group is a very
outstanding company. I believe it will give you what you want and help you develop your talent."
"Thank you." Sofia keeps smiling. "But I still need to learn more from you!"
Her lipstick is delicate and beautiful, making her skin brighter and more attractive.
"I heard that you studied translation before, and then moved from the Translation Department to the
newly established R Department. You reorganized every department in the Smith Group. So smart and
beautiful. You are indeed the benchmark in this industry."
Lily smiles politely, "I'm not that good. That's just overestimation."
"Whether it is overestimation or not, you’re really amazing." Sofia doesn't want to stop. "Not everyone
can move from the translation to another professional field and have such good performance."
Lily, "..."
"Ms. Sofia, how old are you?" Lily asks with a smile.
Sofia doesn't seem to expect Lily to ask this, and she replies after a while, "Twenty-eight."
"Three years older than me." Lily thinks of something, and then smiles faintly, "My performance at the
Smith Group last year is indeed outstanding. I'll just receive your praise."
Of course, Sofia senses the sarcasm in Lily's words. Her face darkens, but soon, it disappears. "Ms.
Lily, shall we exchange WeChat? Let's have a cup of tea when we're convenient."
"Sure!" Lily generously takes out her phone and checks the screen. She then apologizes, "I don't have
WeChat on my phone. I'll send the friend request to you when I go back and download it."
"Ms. Sofia, I'm leaving first." Without waiting for Sofia to speak, Lily leaves with her luggage. She
doesn't have any intention of exchanging WeChat.
As Lily walks out, she recalls the few minutes when she talks with Sofia.
The woman is damn good. She seems to be polite, but every sentence sounds sarcastic. She's
beautiful, intelligent, elegant and dignified.
Lily can't help feeling envious.
Louis is really great. He can even find such an excellent woman.
Suddenly, Lily feels a few kicks in the abdomen, which is a little painful.
"Hey, stop kicking! Behave yourself!" Lily rolls her eyes and "curses" the babies in a low voice, "If you
kick me again, I won't eat anymore and I'll starve you!"
"Ms. Lily?"
Lily is depressed when she hears someone calling her. She looks up and sees David running towards
her, who she hasn't seen for a long time.
"David!" Lily has a good impression of David and greets him with a smile, "Long time no see. You still
look so handsome!"
David rubs his head, feeling a little embarrassed by the praise. "Ms. Lily, you also look very beautiful."
As he speaks, he looks towards the back of Lily.
Seeing this, Lily also looks back and asks him curiously, "What are you looking at?"
"Oh, nothing. Ms. Lily, are you going to stay in Yorkshire for a long time?" David suppresses the urge to
send the message to his boss.
"This is my hometown. Where can I be if I don't live here?" Lily feels funny. "By the way, why are you
here?"
Can it be that Louis will be back from abroad today and David comes to pick him up?
David stops Lily's fantasy and smiles, "My classmate went for business and will be back today. I'm here
to pick her up."
"Classmate? Oh, the one at Stanford?" Lily thinks of something and immediately looks at David with
disdain, "It has been several months. Haven't you been together?"
"No."
"..."
After a few seconds of silence, Lily can't help asking, "Can it be that she doesn't like you at all? Don't
fall into unrequited love. That's stupid! There are so many beauties in the Smith Group."
"It's just that we're busy with our work." David touches his nose and says, "We go out to eat every
weekend and listen to a concert. It's good."
Lily's mouth twitches. And she doesn't say anything.
She doesn't know what kind of women David once meet on a blind date, but now he looks a little
foolish!
"Alright, then you wait here. I'll just go." Lily waves her hand and says, "See you next time." Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
"Ms. Lily, let me drive you home."
"It's fine. I'll just go get a cab."
"Ms. Lily, don't treat me as your enemy even though you have broken up with Mr. Smith." David doesn't
seem to have heard Lily and snatches her suitcase and put it in the trunk.
"I don't think so." Lily rubs her eyebrows and says helplessly, "Alright, thank you."
David smiles. "My pleasure."
He looks at his watch and wonders, "She should have already got off the plane. Why hasn't she come
out yet? Ms. Lily, please wait in the car for a while. I'll go take a look. I'm afraid she gets lost."
Lily, "..."
There is only one exit to the parking lot. Is his classmate retarded?
Lily opens the car door and unintentionally glances out of the window. David says something to the
woman in front of him, and then takes the suitcase in her hand.
Lily is thinking that thank God, David's classmate doesn't get lost and comes out. When David steps
aside, Lily sees that the woman is Sofia, who she has just seen in the hall! Her eyes pop in shock.
Holy shit!
David's classmate is Sofia?
Before Lily can get out of the car and pick up the suitcase, David has already brought Sofia over. He
even opens the back door and warmly introduces his classmate to Lily, "Ms. Lily, this is...."
"I know her." Lily interrupts David and her mouth twitches, "I ran into her in the hall just now. She
recognized me as well and we talked for a while."
"Really?" David looks at Sofia and says, "So you already know Ms. Lily?"
Sofia's eyes flash. She nods with a smile. "Yes. I admire Ms. Lily very much. I also want to exchange
WeChat with her. I don't expect that you and Ms. Lily are friends."
