Chapter 216: President Smith Has a Dog Now
Louis realizes that Lily is having a hard time catching up. He then takes her phone away from her.
“Kent, this is Louis.”
Louis puts Kent on loudspeaker so that Lily could also listen to their conversation.
Lily then listens to their conversation while she eats. Louis simplifies many of the jargons on purpose
along the way. In the end, Lily has finally able to catch up to the content of the conversation.
After hanging up the call, Louis returns the phone to Lily, “You hasn’t been involved in the industry
before. It is only normal that you don’t understand the jargons. David will send you some relevant
information. You will learn from it.”
“Mr. Smith, are you abusing your authority for your personal gain?” David purposely voices out, “If Miss
Lily needs information, she should look for it in HZ Group, why should we give her the Smith Group’s?”
“Those information HZ Group has isn’t good enough,” Louis squints his eyes and replies David coldly,
“Eat, and speak less.”
Lily knows Louis’s good intention. She sincerely thanks him, “Thank you, Mr. Smith.”
“You’re welcome.”
Lily leave David’s house after chilling at his place after lunch. She has to finish all the information David
passes to her as soon as possible.
After Lily Left, Louis is leaving too.
David stops him with a sincere smile on his cheeks, “Mr. Smith, you have already wasted the whole
morning today. You might as well spare me a few minutes.”
“What’s the matter?”
David then whistles loudly. Louis sees an ugly German Shepherd run towards them. He quickly pushes
David in front of him as a shield with an irritable look.
“Mr. Smith, it is a dog. He hasn’t got much fur,” David says, “Can you take care of him?”
“Pardon?” Louis glares at David coldly.
David quickly explains, “Mr. Smith, this is not an ordinary dog. It is a German Shepherd. It is intelligent,
and it can guard your house for you.”
“I have a security system.”
“What about when you go out? It could help you to carry stuff.”
“I have a driver.”
Everything David says gets rejected by Louis. David starts to feel exhausted. Suddenly, he has an idea,
“Mr. Smith, did I tell you that Miss Lily gave it a name? It is called Rich.”
“…”
David continues, “Miss Lily wanted to adopt it, but her house doesn’t have a yard. It isn’t suitable to be
kept in an apartment either. She named the cat Lucky, and the dog Rich. Don’t you think the names
brings good luck?”
Louis dodges the dog emotionlessly when he sees it trying to approach him.
“No.”
He is not interested in taking care of pets.
“Mr. Smith, please think about it again,” David continues persuading Louis, “Miss Lily likes it very much.
If you adopt it, you can bring it to visit Miss Lily at her house in the future. I’m sure she would be glad to
invite you in for a cup of tea.”
Louis chuckles, “Do you think I need to rely on it to get my cup of tea?”
David strokes his chin and says, “I remember Miss Lily doesn’t really want to spend time with you, don’t
you think too, Mr. Smith?”
“…”
Under the persuasion of David, Louis is holding a cage with a German Shepherd puppy and some dog
food in it when he leaves David’s house. It looks like a perfect picture, but Louis doesn’t seem very
happy.
On his way back home, Louis keeps looking at the cage that he put on the passenger seat. The
German Shepherd puppy looks at him and shakes its tail. It’s like it is saying that it wants to come out
and play.
Louis looks away and pinches between his brows, “I must be crazy.”
Louis hates animals, but he adopts one now, just because Lily likes them. His limit keeps changing
based on her likings.
This is insane!
…
The Ragdoll kitten doesn’t feel scared at all after Lily brings it back from David’s house. It is running
and rolling on the floor of her living room now. Perhaps it is because the kitten is still young, and the cat
food and toys are the ones it is familiar with.
Jessica likes the Ragdoll kitten too. She plays with it all the times, and it makes Leigh feels abandoned.
When he comes to fetch Jessica, he sees her playing with the kitten again, “Am I not handsome
enough to get your attention? Why don’t you play with me instead of playing with it?”
Jessica kicks Leigh, “Oh, please, stop joking.”
“I’m serious,” Leigh hugs Jessica’s shoulder and chuckles, “Can this tiny little thing ‘please’ you? I
doubt it.”
“Pervert!”
Looking at Jessica and Leigh joking around makes Lily wants to throw her kettle at them.
Life is so hard!
Lily sent her Mercedes Benz back to the factory for maintenance earlier. The Smith Group locates
nearby her company, so Leigh gives her a ride to work. When they are on their way to work, Leigh
asks, “What is your cat’s name?” Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
“Lucky.”
Leigh laughs out loudly, “My brother recently adopted a dog named Rich, and you named your cat
Lucky? Please stop kidding me.”
“What? Mr. Smith has a dog?” Jessica seems surprised, “But I thought Mr. Smith hates long-fur
animals. There was once that one of our staff accidentally brought her cat to the office. Mr. Smith saw
it, and he cancelled a half-year bonus of that person.”
“Didn’t you know that people would occasionally change their preference?” Leigh looks at Lily from the
rear mirror, and sounds like there’s a hidden meaning in his words, “Perhaps it is because of someone
special.”
Lily rolls her eyes, “Concentrate on the road.”
“Sure. I will surely listen to my sister-in-law,” Leigh smiles cheekily, “I’ll call you my sister-in-law first, but
remember me when you and my buddy really get together, alright?”
Jessica is unhappy, “Louis is no good for Lily!”
“Why is that?”
“He is a playboy, and playboys are not going to be tamed.”
“Alright, if you said so,” Leigh kisses Jessica’s hand, “I was joking. I support whatever you support!”
Lily is speechless.
Lily promises herself that she is never going to come out with them again.
When Lily arrives at the office, she starts to process all the documents that have been left on her desk
for two days. Her assistant comes in after a while and informs her that she made an appointment for
Lily and the person in charge of the Fansian Company this morning.
Lily quickly brings the contract she prepared along with her assistant and heads straight to the coffee
shop.
The Fansian Company imported the equipment from D Country, and they are very efficient. However,
the price of the equipment is too costly and HZ Group doesn’t really need a large quantity of the
product, so they planned to outsource the project to the Fansian Company.
The Fansian Company had collaborated with HZ Group and the Smith Group before, and they had a
smooth collaboration back then. When Lily approaches them with a humble attitude, the person in
charge makes a call and then signs the contract almost immediately.
The person in charge of the Fansian Company leaves right after he signed the contract and refuses
Lily’s offer for lunch. So Lily sends them out from the coffee shop.
When Lily is about to get a cab back to the office, someone calls her name from behind.
There is a woman who dressed elegantly smiling at her. She looks classier than the other women on
the street.
“Are you Lily?”
“Yes,” Lily takes a few looks on the woman. She is pretty sure that she hasn’t met the woman before.
“I’m Daniel’s mother,” the elegant woman smiles at her again, “Shall we talk in the coffee shop?”
Daniel’s mother?
Lily doesn’t know how Daniel’s mother knows about her. Out of courtesy, she walks into the coffee shop
again with Daniel’s mother and finds a seat beside the window.
After they are seated, Daniel’s mother asks, “I heard that your parents divorced when you are young
and that you are taking care of your siblings alone?”
“Yes,” Lily replies calmly.
“It’s great that you enrolled into the University of Newcastle despite the fact that you are born in such a
family,” Daniel’s mother stares at Lily in a rather unfriendly look, “And you even get to such a high
position now.”
