Chapter 207: What Did Jason Give You?
At 8 P.M., Lily rides the taxi to the hotel.
But when she gets off the taxi and sees the alphabets on the huge screen outside the hotel, along with
the few receptionists at the door... Lily feels an urge to leave.
This hotel is under the Smith Group, and the party holder is also the Smith Group.
“The Smith Group” is the last thing she wants to see now.
“Are you Miss Lily from HZ Group?”
When Lily wants to leave, a receptionist greets her warmly, “Let me send you in!”
After some psychological struggles, Lily smiles, “Thank you.”
She's representing HZ Group to join this party.
Meeting Louis won't be a problem.
Thinking of that, she holds her head high and follows the receptionist into the hotel.
She hears that when the Smith Group started recruiting half a month ago, the executives' emails were
so packed. Even the job fairs they're holding were also crowded.
The Smith Group has been established for decades, and it's not the hiring season, but there are more
job seekers than usual.
The Smith Group has experienced such a problem and is able to stand at the top again. Of course, it is
admirable. As long as one can get the invitation, one won't be absent.
The Ballroom is exquisitely decorated and is full of people.
Lily enters the ballroom calmly.
Tonight, she wears a champagne colored garters dress. The slim waist design shows the best of her
slender figure. Under the light, her skin is so white as if it's glowing and it is without any blemishes.
Her pitch-black hair is tied up in a loose bun with camellia hairpins, revealing her beautiful neck. She
slightly purses her lips and smiles politely.
“Miss Lily.”
Some business industry leaders know Lily because she ever acts as the president of the Smith Group.
She looks young, but at that time she solves several crises for the Smith Group.
What a smart and beautiful woman!
Lily is not in the Smith Group anymore. However, such a beautiful and capable woman attracts many
people to raise their alcohol glasses and greet her.
Lily talks with a smile as well as a natural speaking tone, showing no nervousness.
She's a bit surprised too.
In the past, when she followed the vice-chairman and the executives as a translator for business talks,
she always talked with the translator of the other company, or the
representatives. It was nothing like this- speaking directly with the company's boss. It seems that since
she acts as the president of the Smith Group, she knows more people and becomes more outstanding.
Chatting with them is also effortless and it's also very easy to blend in their circle.
“Miss Lily is beautiful and capable!” a boss raises his alcohol glass up and smiles at Lily, “President
Smith has a pair of very sharp eyes for finding a shining diamond like you.”
Lily smiles, “You flatter me. There are many capable women out there; I'm not the only one.”
Yeah.
She can be here today because Louis' supports.
That boss asks, “Why didn't you stay in the Smith Group and went to HZ Group instead?”
“President Smith's presence is enough for the Smith Group.” says Lily while introducing her company, “I
also like challenges. HZ Group really suits me. Mr. Cameron, I wonder if you have some free time to
talk with me... I think there are many projects for our companies to work together in.”
“Hahaha, I think so.” Lily's words suit Mr. Cameron's taste, “Then it's settled. I'll invite Miss Lily on my
free time... You must agree to it!”
Lily and Mr. Cameron cheers with the alcohol glass, “I will.”
After talking to people for almost 30 minutes, Lily's smile feels stiff already. She finds an excuse to
evade and takes a glass of champagne from the table.
A man walks over with his deep voice, “Miss Lily.”
Lily still smiles politely. She only realizes that she knows that man after turning around.
It's Vice President Carmen from the Smith Group.
She has seen him in the Smith Group before, but he seldom goes to the Smith Group.
Carmen enjoys life very much; he doesn't seem old at all. With a very stylish suit on and ordinary looks,
he seems very kind.
Lily remembers what Jason said before he died and takes another look at Carmen. She can't believe
that such a kind-looking person would kill Manager Leon.
Lily stops thinking and smiles at Carmen, “Mr. Carmen.”
Carmen and Lily cheer with the alcohol cup.
“Before this, I've always been busy overseas... But I know everything about you, Miss Lily.” Carmen
stares at Lily with a smile but it makes Lily feel cold and uneasy.
Carmen says, “There are many strong women in the business world... But there are only a few capable
beauties that won't ask for something in return like Miss Lily.”
Lily says, “How can you not ask for something in return for doing things for people? ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
“With that said, President Smith gives you a lot of revenge?”Carmen catches Lily's words, “Miss Lily
can reach such position from just being a translator. It isn't easy.”
Carmen smiles after saying that, “I don't mean anything else. It's just too surprising. You're pretty bold
when no one wants to take over the Smith Group at that time.”
“I majored in translations, but it doesn't mean that I'm only capable of it only.” Lily smiles, “Mr. Carmen,
haven't you ever heard of the saying ‘you must be bold to accomplish great things’?”
She hates people like him the most. He’s the one who ridicules people coldly... His kind face is just a
facade!
Lily stands there with her legs half-spread. She speaks calmly and gracefully, “Besides, there are
Master Smith and President Smith in the Smith Group at that time... What should I be afraid of when
there are so many capable executives?”
“But what about you, Mr. Carmen? Being busy is understandable, but you're also the vice-chairman of
the Smith Group. The Smith Group got into trouble but you didn't take care of it... Now when the Smith
Group gets back on track, you're not busy anymore! Not only me, but also others are all suspecting
you're fishing for quick bucks from the Smith Group.”
Carmen slightly frowns as if Lily's words have irritated him.
But he quickly smiles gently, “Miss Lily, you said it yourself, right? There’re so many people in the Smith
Group... It should be fine without me.”
“Mr. Carmen, I don't feel so good so I'm going to sit there. Just continue what you're doing.” Lily doesn't
want to talk with people like him. She might just carelessly fall into his language traps. She turns
around and leaves.
Right when she steps out, she feels a prick of needles on her shoulder.
It hurts so much that she frowns right away.
Lily looks at her shoulder, but she finds nothing there.
Carmen stands beside her with a smile. He speaks softly like he intends to let the two of them be the
only ones who can hear it, “Miss Lily, being too sharp is also not a good thing.” Lily rubs her shoulders
and faintly smiles, “Why? Did I block your way of making money?”
“You can't block my way of making money.”
Carmen gets closer to her. Without the light on his kind face, he looks a bit fierce, “But Miss Lily must
be careful. If you don't, you might just die like Jason did.”
Lily’s brain explodes.
She glares at Carmen and confirms that he says that, “You're related to Jason’s death?”
Isn't it Richard's plot?
Carmen just stands up and smiles before asking, “Did Jason give you anything?”
Before Lily answers, he speaks again, “Miss Lily, if you know about certain things, a lot of people will
die. I can let Leon die in silence... And that also works for you.”
