His secret spoiled wife (Lily and Alexander)

Chapter 278

“Hey, you’re here,’ the owner greeted Lily warmly.

Lily nodded and took out the draft she had prepared in advance but did not hand it over. “Where’s the

kid?”

“Oh, that kid?” The owner laughed. “He hasn’t been showing up for the past two days. I have no idea

what’s happening, and he wouldn’t answer his phone. I'll have him fired if he doesn’t show up again

tomorrow. Young people nowadays are truly unreliable.”

‘He hasn’t been here for two days?’ Lily thought to herself before asking again, “Didn’t he work for you

for a long time already?”

The owner shook his head. “Who told you that? It has only been a couple of months. Besides, I saw

that he had some carving skills. I’ve been preoccupied recently, and there’s no one watching the store.

Hence, I let him work here. However, I didn’t expect that he’d be so unreliable. Look, he’s only been

working for a while and stopped coming without saying a word.”

As the owner spoke of this, he seemed to think of something. “Oh, don’t worry. We won’t delay your

piece. Even if he doesn’t show up, I’ll find you a good craftsman and do your piece properly and

beautifully!”

“Do you have his phone number?” Lily could not care less about the new craftsman.

“Yes, but he won’t answer any calls.” Embarrassed, the owner gave Lily a card with a phone number.

“Ah, here you go.”

Lily glanced at the number and wrote it down. She was here to make such an object because her

father’s birthday was approaching. Although Lily was not returning, she thought of giving him a gift.

Still, she needed to find the young man to get the type of wood for her new product’s research process.

Not long after walking out of the woodcarving shop, she received a call from Jenny. “Where are you?”

“I’m window-shopping.”

“Hurry back to the company,” Jenny said.

Lily was a little surprised to hear this. “Now?”

“Yes, now! Don’t dilly-dally! Hurry up and take a cab here!” Before Jenny hung up, perhaps she was

afraid that Lily might worry. She quickly added, “It’s good news!”

The joy in Jenny’s tone was evident, but what good news could there be? Since Lily had nothing to do,

she hurried to the company by cab. As soon as she went upstairs, Jenny was already waiting by the

elevator entrance. Seeing how she was pacing back and forth, it was obvious that she had been

waiting for Lily.

“What’s wrong? What’s the matter?” Lily asked with a puzzled look. “Is the company giving out

bonuses?”

“Please! Why would I call you over if they’re just giving out bonuses? The company would’ve directly

sent that to your bank account. Look at you. As someone so capable, how can you be so naive?”

Jenny blurted as she pulled Lily in and hurriedly continued, “I’m telling you, the company has a new

upcoming project. They need you!”

“What project is it that it’s so important?”

Before Jenny could answer, the two had already entered the general manager’s office.

“Ms. Gray,” the general manager’s secretary greeted them outside. It seemed like it was something big.

Lily glanced at her while Jenny nodded, giving her a wave. Then without a word, Jenny led Lily into the

office.NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

Lily was at a loss for words at what was going on.

The general manager, George, was already waiting inside. There was a file in front of him, with

documents spread across the table as he took a closer look at them. When he heard the movement, he

raised his head and said with a smile, “You’re here!”
