A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure

Chapter 417: I'm Not Interested in Teaching Other Women

If they meet the conditions in the agreement, the investment the company gets will double. If they fail,

they have to compensate five percent of company shares to the other company.

After reading it, Lily doesn't know what to say about the executives of the head office.

Didn't they know the performance of the company? Why did they sign such an agreement regardless

the conditions? When the bet-on agreement was put forward, the other company must have known the

ins and outs of HS Company.

Lily sits there and takes in the fact for a while before making an internal call to Ella. "Send me all the

proposals, promotion plans, and videos when we released a new perfume for the past three years."

"Alright. Ms. Lily, please wait a moment."

About ten minutes later, Lily receives dozens of emails from Ella.

She clicks on the documents one by one according to the sequence of time and rests for a while when

she is tired. After work, she keeps on reading and watching at home. At the same time, she also

handles some other urgent matters.

It takes her two days to watch all the videos. Then she compares them with the promotion plans for the

new perfume Ella has given her. She quickly figures out what the problem is--HS Company's plans

don't work well.

Lily also finds it inconceivable that the promotion plans for cosmetics and perfume are both the

responsibility of the planning department, but the promotion of cosmetics was brilliant while that of the

perfume was unbearable.

If it was in the past, she could replace executives and give the planning department some time to think

about it. This time, it is different. If they can't satisfy the conditions on the agreement, they will lose the

company's shares. Lily does not dare to take the risk.

Three years are not long, so she can't let John fail.

Lily quickly searches in her mind for famous advertising companies, and finally finds out that the Smith

Group is her best choice.

Their lawyer team and planning department are among the best in the industry, and no company can

compare to them.

The Smith Group is also very expensive.

After weighing the options, Lily finds the number of the secretary department of the Smith Group and

dials with her landline.

She gets through quickly. "It’s the Secretary department of the Smith Group. May I help you?"

"David?" Lily is surprised to hear David's voice.

David is also surprised. "Ms. Lily?"

"Yes."

"The call is from HS Company. Ms. Lily, are you working there?"

Lily admits and asks curiously, "Aren't you busy doing your job as the assistant? You should be with Mr.

Smith every day. Why are you sitting in the office and answering the phone instead?"

"It's a long story..." David is a little aggrieved. "I've made a mistake. Mr. Smith is not pleased with me

and ignores me on purpose. Catherine is in charge of his schedule this week."

Lily laughs for a while and comforts him. "It's OK. It's better to answer the phone than to go to the New

York branch."

"I think so too. Ms. Lily, what's the matter?"

"Ask Catherine when Mr. Smith is free. I'd like to make an appointment to discuss business with Mr.

Smith."

"Wait."

There is no sound on the other side of the phone. David seems to have left.

After two minutes, David picks up the receiver again. "Catherine is not in the company, but Mr. Smith is

back. He is going to his office. I will help you transfer."

"No--" Before Lily refuses, the phone has been transferred to the President's Office.

Listening to the melody on the phone, she is somewhat nervous.

Making an appointment to meet Louis is one thing, talking to him on the phone unexpectedly is another.

She doesn't even know what to say.

"This is President's Office of the Smith Group. May I help you?"

Lily is holding her breath, thinking about what to say when a gentle, familiar female voice comes from

the other end of the phone. It feels like a bucket of cold water pouring down from above her head.

She recognizes the owner of the voice--Sofia Jones.

David has told her that Louis is back. He should be at the President's Office. Sofia is from the R

department. If Louis is at his office, why is she answering the phone?

There is no other explanation except that Sofia follows him into the office, and they are very close.

Lily doesn't know why she is so sensitive and wonders why Sofia is in the President's Office when she

hears her voice. She doesn't know why she suspects there is something going on between Sofia and

Louis.

She feels aggrieved and uncomfortable.

"Hello?" Lily has been silent for a long time. Sofia has to ask again, "May I help you?"

Lily closes her eyes and quickly calms down. She says politely, "I am Lily, Vice President of HS

Company. I would like to make an appointment with Mr. Smith and ask him for lunch when he is

available."

Sofia is surprised. "Ms. Lily, are you in HS Company?"

"Yes, can you put Mr. Smith on the phone?" Lily is a little impatient.

She has introduced herself and this woman has to ask again, as if she is very surprised at the company

she works.

"Sorry, Mr. Smith is not in the office."

Not in the office?

Is he not there, or is he there but doesn't want to answer her phone?

Lily purses her lips. "Then could you please tell Catherine to arrange one hour for us? HS Company

really wants to cooperate with the Smith Group."

"Ms. Lily, I'm sorry. Mr. Smith's schedule is full this week." Sofia says apologetically, "But I will ask

Catherine to see if next week will be all right."

Hearing she says these words in such casual tone, Lily's hands and feet turn cold.

Sofia is manager of the R department, not the secretary department. How does she know his schedule

is full for a week?

Can it be that she is so close to him that she can go to the secretary department and ask about his

schedule at any time?

"Alright, I'm sorry to trouble you." Lily is afraid that she cannot hold back her feelings anymore, so she

quickly hangs up.

At the same time in Louis' office, after Sofia hangs up the phone, she hears the faint sound of the door

opening behind her.

She quickly turns around and sees Louis walk in.

The man has an indifferent look, but his movements are mature and steady, showing an imposing aura.

"Mr. Smith."

Louis coldly glances at her. "You're the manager, not the secretary. It's not your job to answer the

phone. Besides, this is the President's Office, not the secretary department."

"Sorry, I was afraid it was an emergency call, so I answered." Sofia bows towards him and says, "It was

from a small company called HS Company. They want to cooperate with the Smith Group, so I've

asked them to contact the secretary department to arrange the time."

Louis gives her a sullen glare, his tone unpleasant. "Are you expecting me to thank you?"

"Mr. Smith, I've overstepped it."

"You've done it more than once." Louis walks over and throws the newspaper on her. "It was shot with

movie film, wasn't it? The angle you picked was really good. How much did it cost you?"

"Sorry, I just return to China and don't have any background, so I want to use your reputation." Sofia's Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

attitude is sincere and her voice is gentle. "I am no being considerate."

Louis says coldly, "The Smith Group pays you to work. How you have your work done is your business.

If everyone uses my reputation, I will be too busy making the front page of the news!"

The pressure he gives Sofia almost makes her unable to lift her head, "Sorry, I'll deal with--"

"Of course, you have to deal with it." Louis interrupts her, "You'll spend as much as you paid for the

photos in dealing with the news on the various websites. It needs to be taken care of by 7 o'clock

tonight."

"I understand." Sofia replied, "Then excuse me."

However, Louis still stands there without moving. "You're not qualified to have your position. It's for

David's sake that I let you. Sofia, you're a beautiful and smart woman. Don't play tricks. I'm not

interested in teaching another woman. Besides, you're not her."
