Chapter 214: The Bad, Tart-mouthed Woman
Lily blushes instantly and objects, “Ms, we don’t know each other.”
“You don’t know each other? Then why did he ask you whether if you need his help?” The woman
looks at Lily and says, “Seeing from this way, you two lovebirds having a quarrel ”
“No…”
Before she can finish, the woman shakes her head and scolds Louis, “You look so handsome, how
come you don’t know what to do to make your girlfriend happy? Are you really such a loser?”
The woman scolds Louis hard. Lily looks at the expression changing slowly on Louis’ s face and can’t
help but smile.
Afraid to be seen, she turns away.
“You are right.” Louis is not angry and even keeps talking to the woman, “You look like you have a son
who has put you through a lot.”
The woman says instantly, “Yes.”
Two of them just start talking and even laughing.
Lily is a bit confused.
When she wants to use fish-catching as an excuse to listen to their conversation, they are already
about to stop talking.
“Young lad, not only do you look handsome, but you are quite eloquent.” The woman who sells fish
says smiling, “But still you should treat your girlfriend right, or if she gets stolen by someone someday,
crying won’t help.”
Lily objects for the second time, “Ms, we don’t know each other.”
The woman perfunctorily nods her head and asks with zest, “Lassie, have you decided which one do
you want?”
“...”
After purchasing the fish, Louis helps to push the trolley.
Two of them leave together. Lily squints at him and sneers, “Doesn’t Mr. Smith hate places with fishy
smell? Did the sun rise up from the west today?”
“After all it is Miss Lily who will cook a meal. I can’t just sit idle and enjoy the fruits of others' work.”
Louis says.
Lily snorts, “How can Mr. Smith say something like this? Of all the meals I cooked and you ate, which
one did you contribute to? Besides, I am cooking for David this time, and you are not invited.”
Louis appears calm and says casually, “I am his boss and we have business to talk about. He won’t
kick me out at lunch time.”
With a pause, he continues, “If Miss Lily thinks I contributed nothing before, I can make it right now.”
“I am not a poor lunatic. I don’t want your money!”
“We can settle on other ways.”
Lily looks at the man with despise and snorts, “Mr. Smith, besides money, what else do you have?”
Louis stops suddenly.
Lily stops too. The man raises his hand to loosen his tie and his finger unbuttons the first button of his
shirt. His clavicles show up, which look seductive.
“Like this.”
Lily freezes up for five seconds and turns around immediately to walk away from him. Her heart is
pounding. She can’t believe this is the cold Louis she knows.
He must be crazy to say something like that!
Louis’s outfit and temperament are too dazzling. Women walk past him on purpose from time to time,
and their ardent eyes stay fixated on him. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
Lily can’t handle it anymore. She grabs the trolley from him and says angrily, “Mr. Smith, please go to
the check-out counter. I still need to go get some vegetables!”
“I didn’t ask them to look at me.”
“...”
At this moment, a girl comes up. Her curious eyes scan over them again and again. She says in
excitement, “Aren’t you President Smith? I saw on TV that you were going to marry Miss Scott on 20th
next month, is that true? Then what’s your relationship with the woman beside you?”
Lily purses her lips.
Yes, it’s true. On the bouquet last night, Louis announced to all the celebrities present that he was
going to marry Stella Scott. Two giants in business community are going to connect through marriage.
No wonder the whole society is shocked.
The girl coming from nowhere makes Louis frown with what she says. Seeing from the girl’s tone,
apparently she is not a journalist. But watching the way she sneaks around, Louis grabs her hand
immediately.
The phone in her hand is on with videotaping.
“If you know me, you know about my temper.” Louis snatches her phone and a sense of oppression is
coming out of him. I hate people who sneaks around me.”
“So, sorry.” The girl’s face turns pale and she backs up out of fright, “I don’t mean it.”
If she is blocked by the business giant the Smith Group, she won’t have any shot at any good jobs from
any company. So the girl tries her best to apologize to him.
Louis says, “ID and code.”
The girl dares not to hesitate and stutters to tell him the ID and code.
Louis opens her phone and spends a minute operating it. Then he directly splits the phone into half
before tossing it into the trash bin beside. David who has disappeared for a long while shows up at this
right moment.
Louis says, “Check the price of this phone and compensate her.”
“Miss, please follow me.” David takes the girl away, “Let’s talk about compensation.”
The whole process takes less than three minutes.
Lily doesn’t know what to say about the man’s response. It is not the first time that she sees him do
this. But still she wants to complain, “You have already permanently deleted the video. Do you really
have to remove her ID?”
Louis says, “I was afraid that the video would be saved on the cloud.”
“Mr. Smith, are you suffering from persecutory delusion?” Impatience pours out from her heart, “I no
longer work for the Smith Group. Even if the video gets posted, it won’t have any influence on you.”
Does he care about the wedding with Miss Scott so much?
The man looks at her and his thin lips go up as if he was smiling, “I was not worried about me. I was
worried about you. You have just started working for HZ Group as vice general manager. Your base is
not solid enough. If someone uses this video as a weapon to hurt your reputation, your career will be
endangered.”
Then he explains, “My marriage with Stella Scott is fake. We don’t have a marriage certificate or
wedding rings. As soon as she gets six points of Long Peace Group’s share, we will hold a press
conference and make a clarification.”
Is it really fake marriage?
His explanation makes Lily less worried. But her face still looks cold and she sneers at him, “What
would have thought Mr. Smith who would do anything to achieve his aim would be so kind and do such
a great favor for Miss Scott. I think you should really get married. You are a talented man and she is
beautiful. You will make a perfect match!”
Louis suddenly presses Lily against the goods shelves behind her and restrains her hands, “Miss Lily.
After several months, you are still so tart-mouthed.”
“Let go of me!” Lily tries hard to break free. Such an environment makes her feel shameful, “This is the
supermarket and CCTV are everywhere. You don’t care about your reputation. I do.”
But her hands are tightly locked by the man. The man bends down. They are almost face to face.
The warm breath spread over her face makes Lily uncomfortable. She tries to back up but is stopped
by the good shelves behind. She has nowhere to hide and as soon as she opens her mouth, the man’s
lips fiercely lay on hers.
Luis pries open her mouth and kisses her in a ferocious and ardent way to make her surrounded by his
smell. It seems he is punishing her for giving him colder shoulder and ignoring him these months
It’s true. I never do anything which doesn’t benefit me.
It’s all because of you.
Louis smells the fragrance of hyacinth from her, which is light and not pungent at all. The fragrance
makes his heart itchy and he holds her even tighter to deepen the kiss.
The hateful woman did this to him. Half a years ago in that bar, this woman pretended to be drunk and
flung herself into his arms. She was so bold and even seduced him, forcing into his world and stirring
up his life!
This bad, tart-mouthed woman.
