Chapter 9 A Tricky Problem
Lily is surprised. She finally understands why he keeps looking at her belly. She feels embarrassed.
Her face turns red and then she says, “It is not what you think, I just had too much food in the morning.
I have a stomachache.”
Louis lowers his head, this time, he could take a real look at Lily.
On that day, they came across each other at a bar, Lily was wearing a short skirt and drunk. She
looked sexy, and she bumped into Louis deliberately. But today, she is completely different.
This time, she is swearing gray blouses, which demonstrates her body very well, and she is wearing a
pair of beautiful high heels. Her hair is tied up, showing that she wants to be a strong woman.
She lowers her head, and does not dare look him in the eyes. But her smell goes into Louis nose from
time to time.
He has an erection.
Such a whore, at that night, he knew her tricks on the bed.
“Jason Smith is my nephew. You should call me uncle right?” says Louis with a smile on his face. He
gets closer to Lily, “Just like what you did at the bar, right?”
She has no idea of what to do next.
At that night, she was angered by his husband Jason and mother-in-law Janet, so she went out and
wanted to have one night with a stranger to take revenge. But now she regrets doing so, she does not
even think about having a relationship with Louis Smith.
She believes that after half of a month, Louis would forget her completely.
“Lu..Louis, I am sorry.” She says and steps backward with her legs trembling. “At that time, I didn’t
know it was you, I just thought that you were such a handsome man, and I lost my mind.”
Louis does not answer, just staring at her.
Everything is so embarrassing.
Lily could hardly breathe at that time.
When Louis takes back his fingers, she feels more relaxed.
The next second, he says, “I know that you have been married with Jason for a year.”
Lily understands what he wants to say.
After a year, she is still a virgin.
Lily thinks about Jason and his love affair, she signs and manages to squeeze out a smile, and
changes the topic on purpose.
“Oh, Mr. Smith, I have something to give you.”
She is searching her bag, trying to find the cuff button and returns it to Louis. But her phone rings.
It is her sister Joey.
Lily says sorry to Louis and steps away to take that call, and asks in a low voice “What happened?”
“Lily, I have been trying to reach you, but you did not answer my call.”
“I am busy with my jobs, and turns it into silence, just tell me what happened?”
“Mum broke her legs by accident, don’t you know that?” complains Joey, “I was about to go for an
audition, I have gotten a key character in the film, but I gives it up so I could come back and takes care
of mum.” She tells Lily to come to the hospital at once, and brings some cash.
After a few words, she hangs up the phone.
“I am sorry, Mr. Smith, I have an emergency and I need to leave now.” Because she is worried about
her mother, her voice is trembling, “My mother had an accident.”
Louis hears a few words of their conversation.
Seeing Lily is in such a hurry, he gives up his thinks of asking more questions and says, “Alright.”
“Thank you, Mr. Smith.” And she forgets to give him the cuff link and leaves in a hurry.
When Louis comes back to the room, his secretary has sent all the guests away.
“Mr. Smith, the examining report of the plants is here,” his secretary passes the files to Louis and says
excitedly, “Just like what you had expected.”
Louis opens the file and reads through it.
When seeing the important statistics, he is as cool as a cucumber, not like his secretary. He then says,
“We can find it, so can other companies. You have to make an arrangement secretly, and finds an
interpreter to go abroad with me. We have to be ahead of others to sign the contract.”
His secretary does not know what to say for a while, because he thinks of another problem.
Louis notices the look on his face and asks impatiently, “What, you can handle it, can’t you? It is not a
big deal.”
“There are other concerns.” says his secretary. “The villagers there only speak their language, no one
knows how to interpret their language in the world!”
He forgets it completely. If it hasn’t been the reason that no one could speak their language, the plant
would have been bought by other companies.
After thinking for a while, he tells his secretary, “You had better ask those students or professors in the
college of language, and find out whether there would be any possibility that anyone could offer us
some help.”
“Well, I will do it right now.” answers his secretary. Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
