Chapter 276: The Scheming Mrs. Lou
Chapter 276: The Scheming Mrs. Lou
“Oh! So, something did happen!” Jessie becomes more curious and says excitedly, “Hurry up and tell
me! I want to know.”
“Go to hell!”
Lily rolls her eyes at Jessie and shakes her off unceremoniously. As she reaches out and presses the
elevator button, a tall figure looms over her from behind.
The familiar masculine scent makes her heart beat furiously.
“Morning, Mrs. Smith.”
As he walks by, he lowers his head slightly and leans towards her. His thin lips brush gently against her
ear lobe, as the words that flow out of his mouth already seem comfortable to him.
In just two seconds, he enters an elevator, as if he has done nothing.
No one sees what he has just done.
Lily coughs, pretending to be calm, and curses Louis severely in her heart. As she turns her head, she
sees Jessie looking at her with shocked expressions.
Jessie opens her mouth, “Mr.… Mr. Smith… he…he…”
Lily covers Jessie’s mouth with her hand, drags her into an elevator that has just arrived, and presses
the close button with all her might.
Only after the elevator doors close, she takes a breath of relief.
“Mr. Smith just called you Mrs. Smith, I heard it!” Jessie’s loud voice exploded inside the elevator as
she bombards her with questions, “Are you two married? When did it happen? Why didn’t you tell me?”
“No! Keep your voice down, Jessie.” Lily begs her, holding her head as she feels a headache come,
“He was joking!”
Jessie snorts, “Joking and him? Hah! He is so ruthless; he doesn’t joke around with anyone. I don’t
know what, but something must have happened between you two.”
Lily retorts, “Would he say such a thing and seriously mean it?”
“Ooooh!” Jessie smirks at Lily, “Who knew he had two faces; cold and aloof on the outside, warm and
passionate on the inside.”
“…”
Under Jessie’s teasing and coercion, Lily has no choice but to tell her about the contract and the origin
of “Mrs. Smith”
After listening to the detailed explanation, Jessie doubles up and roars with laughter, holding on to the
elevator handrail, “Lily, you are usually so smart and clever, but he always ends up making a fool out of
you! Oh! I am dying with laughter, hahaha!”
Lily wants to beat her up into a pulp; she says angrily, “Then die laughing!”
“I must say, Mr. Smith’s really next-level to all us humans!” Jessie praises Louis, then holds Lily’s arm
again as she asks, “But really, he is so handsome! Don’t you feel something for him?”
“Yeah he is handsome, but he has a cold heart.” Lily purses her lips thinking about Louis’s cold and
stern personality, “As if he is above the whole world, which is why Stella likes him.”
“What’s between him and Stella?” Jessie asks in a gossipy way.
Lily slaps her hand away, “Let go of my arm! My suit is custom made; the fabric is delicate. Don’t tear
it!”
“Lily, you don’t love me anymore!”
“Fuck off!” Lily rolls her eyes at her, “I am already annoyed.”
“Don’t worry; I’ll take you on a trip!” Jessie smiles. She takes out her phone and waves it in front of
Lily’s eyes, “I won the lucky draw! Five-day tour in Japan, three tickets!”
Lily takes her phone to see.
She has really won the lucky draw.
“Did Weibo’s technical team change?” Lily mutters, “Don’t they keep the good stuff for their staff? How
come this kind of prize is so easy to win? Shouldn’t it…” Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
She turns to look at Jessie.
Jessie slaps her on her arm, “Leigh doesn’t know my Weibo account, plus this is a new blogger I follow.
He is very generous with lucky draws. Let’s go please. I will sell the third ticket online.”
Lily waves her hand, “No, I have a lot to deal with, how can I just go on a trip?”
“Come on!” Jessie clings on Lily’s arm, and says in a childish tone, “You have worked so hard for so
long, you deserve to rest properly. Come on, give yourself a treat. Plus look at me, I have grown up so
much but I have never been abroad yet!”
“If you have never been abroad, then what about your passport?”
“What about it? I will spend some money and get it made!”
Lily has indeed not taken a vacation in a very long time; and this time, she won’t have to spend any
money. So, she agrees, “Okay then, let us go! But don’t pull Leigh along at the last minute, I am telling
you!”
Jessie smiles evilly, “Japan is so fun! I won’t let him come and ruin all our fun!”
Lily always feels her words have another hidden meaning.
As Jessie is about to walk out of the elevator on her floor, Lily can’t help but ask, “I just want to ask you,
how you can act coquettishly in front of people? Don’t they hate you?”
“No! Because I am cute!”
“…”
Lily says inwardly: Your shameless tricks are meticulously learned from Leigh.
Lily swipes her card to enter the office, and is startled by several pair of eyes that look up at her,
“Are you all that shocked that I came to work? Or is there a problem with my outfit?”
Her colleagues all shake their heads.
“Okay then, let’s focus on our work!” She smiles and walks into the independent office.
After handling the piled-up documents, she calls the internal extension and asks her colleague who is
in charge of those documents to come in, “These are all processed. You can send them to the
secretary department.”
“Okay.”
Her colleague picks up the files, then turns around to leave. However, she turns back around to look at
Lily.
Lily notices that there is something wrong with her. So, she raised her head and frowns, “What is it?
Since I came in today, something is off. Just tell me what you want to.”
Her colleague asks her in a hesitant tone, “Haven’t you seen the newspaper?”
“What newspaper?”
Her colleague slipped out, and then returned a minute later and placed a newspaper in front of Lily,
“Miss Lily, remember to tell us if you get married, we will give you a present.”
Lily is completely baffled.
She picks up the Entertainment Weekly, and flips through it. When she sees the strong, taut muscles of
a man’s chest and half of her face, she spits out the black coffee that she has just sipped on to the
page.
It is written in bold black letters [Lily, beautiful and single, visits the Lou family house at night. Good
news can be expected soon from the Lou Family!”
The whole article is about her and Daniel. Lily and Daniel met in a certain shopping mall in the
afternoon. Daniel gave her a gift and the two got close.
It goes on to say more. The Long Peace Group held a low-key cock-tail party, she and Daniel went
together. They were photographed being intimate in the bathroom. After they came out, Daniel handed
her a tissue paper. She sneaked into the Lou family home at night.
She went to Lou family home? What kind of shit is this?
And that gift was for Daniel’s own son from him.
Also, at the Long Peace party, they came out of the bathroom and he handed her a pack of tissues.
When in all this they became intimate?
This photo must be fake!
The woman’s face in the photo is almost covered with her hair. If only the profile is edited a bit to match
Lily’s, it can easily look like her.
She crumples the newspaper into a ball and throws it away. She is so angry that she can’t calm down
for a long time. After a while, she decides to check Weibo which turns out to be even more alive with
gossips. She even finds an interview of Daniel’s mother.
In the video, when the reporter asks the graceful Mrs. Lou whether Lily had gone to their house, she
does not answer directly. She only says that she does not interfere in her children’s lives and that she
likes Lily very much.
After getting such a vague remark, the reporter becomes even more convinced that Lily must have
gone to meet Daniel.
Fuck!
As Lily watches the video, she becomes almost completely sure that it is Mrs. Lou who is scheming
against her! Lily feels that Mrs. Lou must have been taken offense due to her impolite behavior at the
party last night, so she did this today.
Lily really hates herself for being lacking of attention. She panicked and signed that kind of contract
with Daniel, because of which she was tricked by Louis into being in a relationship with him, and is now
being used as a shield by Daniel’s mother.
