Chapter 415: How Could He Let His Wife Sit on a Supercar When She Is Pregnant?
Lily lowers her head slightly to peek through the supercar.
She quickly finds the man in the driver's seat is really Leigh, since there’s no special film on the window
of his car.
There’s a woman sitting in the passenger seat who is holding an unscrewed bottle of mineral water in
her slender hand.
Lily is being speechless.
Leigh is so careless that he even lets his wife sit on a supercar when she’s pregnant.
However, Lily frowns when she happens to see there’re tattoos with a row of tiny black English letters
on the finger of the woman, and her wrist looks thin.
‘What?
When did Jessie get her tattoos?’ Lily thinks to herself.
Anyway, they’re driving in the street, so Lily can’t get out of her car to greet them. Intending to greet
them with a call, she takes out her phone and rolls down the window.
Just as the window is rolling down and the phone is on the line, Lily sees the woman in the passenger
seat approach Leigh and give him a kiss. She has long dull cyan hair and she isn’t Jessie at all.
"Shoot." Lily darkens with a curse.
She calls Leigh two or three times, but he doesn’t answer the phone. Gritting her teeth secretly, Lily
guesses that Leigh has already pulled her number into the blacklist.
Looking around, Lily picks up a car decoration and she wants to hit Leigh's car with it.
But she doesn’t expect the green light is on at this time.
When Lily looks out of the window, Leigh has already driven his supercar away.
Lily rushes into starting her car, since the horns of the cars behind her are honking. She does wanna
chase Leigh's car, but a call from the assistant of HS Company is coming to check where she is.
Thinking of it's her big day to go to the new company, Lily can do nothing but give up on chasing Leigh.
"Bastard. I won’t let you go so easily when I’m free."
Lily thinks Leigh has straightened up, but she’s obviously wrong. His wife is pregnant while he still
hangs out with another woman.
Lily arrives at the CBD about twenty minutes later.
The CBD in Yorkshire is quite large. There’re loads of financial companies from south to north. As a
giant in the financial industry, the Smith Group is located in the south of the CBD, while the other
companies are in the north.
After finding where HS Company is located, Lily drives her car into the underground parking lot.
The companies in the north aren’t large-sized. Except few companies like the Smith Group, the others
don’t have their own buildings. Instead, they have to share an office building. So, there are a lot of
people coming and going in the building every day.
Most of the companies start working at 9 or 10 a.m. So, when the elevator reaches the first floor, a
cluster of people will pour in.
Lily is squeezed backwards, so she puts her bag in front of her body to protect the babies in her belly.
When the elevator is rising slowly, several women standing beside her are gossiping and they seem to
come from the same company.
"Hey, you know what, the CEO of our company has changed."
"I’ve heard of it. It's said that the new one is a mixed-race man whose family business is in Europe."
"A mixed-race man? Then he must be handsome. I can't wait to see him."
"Don't think so much. I heard that he had a girlfriend. What’s more, do you know who the new vice
president he appointed is? Peter said that the new vice president would come here, and he also
noticed us to pay attention to our appearances." Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
"Who on earth is the new vice president?"
"It’s Lily, who worked in the Smith Group earlier. Surprise?"
"Why?" Another woman says in jealousy, "I heard that she had a history with Mr. Smith. She can’t be
the girlfriend of the new CEO, right? She would be so lucky if she were."
"Well, it wouldn’t be that easy for a translator to change her profession, would it? I’m wondering why
she got the position so easily."
"As you mentioned it, I'm also curious."
"..."
Lily doesn’t care about their gossip until they mention her name.
What they talk about later is so unpleasant to ears, and they almost call her bitch directly.
Raising her eyebrows slightly, Lily becomes indifferent soon.
She had already heard more unpleasant words when she was being the acting president of the Smith
Group. So she’s been immune to it now.
Glancing at them, Lily tries to remember their appearances and names.
As they’ll be in the same company, she’ll teach them a lesson sooner or later.
Some companies in this building buy an entire floor and redesign it for the convenience of their work.
So does HS Company. However, the subsidiary of HS Company isn't small, which occupies three
floors, from the 53th to the 55th.
Lily presses the button of the 53th floor while she's browsing through the document in her hand.
She was wondering why the Krislier Group didn't expand its company in Asia since it had business
here. However, when she sees the document, she gets to know HS Company belongs to the Krislier
Group, but it only takes a very small proportion and it has a low profit margin.
The board of HS Company didn't decide to change the CEO until Burnell showed them the valuation
agreement. Even so, the board still can find someone else to replace John if he harms the company.
Although John has become a member of the board of HS Company, he doesn't have much real power.
Besides, the Krislier Group doesn't take a large proportion of the shares of HS Company, so he doesn't
have a voice in the board.
Lily is wondering she should have asked John to get much sympathy from Burnell to milk more shares,
and then she could have won a higher position in the board.
She has been a member of the board of HS Company, but she has neither real power nor a voice. As
long as Jonathan sends some of his men to the executive of HS Company, John will have a hard time
when the three-year agreement expires.
'What a hassle!'
Lily sighs. When the elevator stops, she walks out of it.
The young woman with a pad on her arm, who has been waiting for Lily, comes to her. And she asks
politely, "Are you Ms. Lily?"
Lily stands still with a smile, "A week ago, the head office announced the candidates of the new CEO
and vice president. You should know it. Right? And you must have received the email from the head
office long before."
Lily is in a dark gray suit with a blue-tailed bird brooch on her chest. She does look like a capable
leader.
Lily's dignified aura intimidates the assistant.
Lowering her head hurriedly, she says, "Ms. Lily, I'll take you to the conference room."
"Thank you."
The employees who are holding their breath in the corner don't dare to cast a glance at them until Lily
and the assistant walk away.
They say one after another, "What a strong aura she has! I do believe she worked in the Smith Group."
When they arrive at the conference room, the assistant pushes the door for Lily immediately.
Lily walks in leisurely. She looks around, finding the conference full of people.
The gazes of them are fixed on her as soon as she enters.
After the assistant leads Lily to the main seat, she stands beside her and introduces her to everyone.
"You knew that we had a new CEO. And this is the vice president personally selected by the new CEO,
Ms. Lily."
"Nice to meet you, Ms. Lily." They greet her one after another.
"Well, I'm also pleased to see you and work with you." Maintaining a polite smile, Lily looks down at her
watch. "It's the time. Let's start the meeting as usual."
"Yes."
The projector behind her is turned on and two thick stacks of documents are placed in front of her.
Departmental executives start to report in order.
