Chapter 12 Sit In The Front Passenger Seat, Who Is Afraid Of Whom
She said happily, "Since you like it so much, you should be mentally prepared. I will make delicious food for you all my life and feed you well and fat. Don't blame me if you eat like a ball."
She wanted to say that sentence to the man in front of her, but it happened after the confession was rejected. They were just friends. To avoid embarrassment, she added Ziyan to say it together.
How come when it came to his ears, it became that she said it to Ziyan alone? Lilly bit her lip, still shook her head at him, and said, "I can't agree to this."
"Why?" he laughed in anger, a trace of mockery flashed in his deep eyes, "You can't agree to such a small condition? Don't you want to save Thomson's Enterprise very much?"
"I do." Lilly looked back at him with a firm tone.
"Then sign it." He raised his chin coldly towards the contract in her hand, "Otherwise, get out, and never let me see you again."
Her face was pale, like a hedgehog with frizzy hair, with hard thorns erected all over her body. She stared at the man sitting at the desk in a neat suit and said word by word, "Ethan, are you sick?"
In the past, she and he would also quarrel over certain things, and she had also cursed like this, mostly in a joking tone. This time, there was no intention of joking at all. After listening carefully, there was a deep sense of fatigue.
The cold expression on his face loosened slightly. He hadn't seen her angry for a long time. Although she rarely lost her temper with him, he had seen others make her look like a little hedgehog.
At some point, her every smile and frown was engraved in his mind and could not be erased.
He suddenly looked forward to her reaction next, but she looked at him with a look like a lunatic and asked, "Didn't you say you hated me? You have to tie me to you. Is this fun?"
"Miss Lilly thinks too highly of herself." He pursed his lips sarcastically, "I just asked you to be responsible for Ziyan's meals. What does it have to do with me? Do you think that this condition I proposed is for you?"
She couldn't help but clench her fists, her nails digging into her palms, and the pain reminded her that the man in front of her was real, and what he said was not an illusion. Yes, this condition he proposed was certainly not for her! Who else was it for, and who else could it be for?
Ethan, what makes you think I'm such a slut?
"I refuse," Lilly said with suppressed anger.
His eyes turned cold, and he waved his hand towards the door of the office. She turned around and left.
"Miss Lilly, I hope you can think it over." His cold voice came from behind, like a poisonous snake tightly wrapped around her heart, "I am the only one who can persuade the director of Liney's. If you want to find a second person... I don't know if Chairman Thomson can wait."
She stood by the door. As long as she took this step, she could completely get rid of this man and would not fall into the abyss of self-torture like a year ago. But his words oppressed her so that she could not take this step with confidence.
The faces of her grandmother and aunt appeared in front of her, and she couldn't bear it after all.
"Ethan, can't you change the conditions?" She walked back to him, making a final struggle, "Do you have to force me like this?"
"I force you?" he asked back with a stern look in his eyes. At this moment, the complex emotions that emerged from his eyes instantly frightened her.
She suddenly couldn't bear to look at it, lowered her head in panic, gritted her teeth, and hastily signed her name on the contract. After that question, he stopped talking, but grabbed her arm and threw her out the door as he did in the morning.
Lilly stood on the balcony of the apartment, looking at the majestic white rain and fog outside.
"Lilly, according to what you said..." The voice of her good friend came from the room. "This Ethan, either a donkey kicked his brain, or he came with bad intentions."
After signing the contract, Ethan immediately fulfilled his promise and helped stabilize the old director, Liney. Lilly went back home first, explained to her family, and returned to the apartment after reassuring her aunt. She didn't tell anyone about the contract except Yulia.
Yulia, like Karl, was a playmate who grew up with her, but she didn't tell her about it just because of this. She has always been aloof and doesn't talk much. Such people are the most secretive, and it is also the safest to confide in them.
That day, Lilly told him that she was studying for a master's degree, and it was not a lie. After returning, she entered the most famous "college" in the City for graduate studies. She studied vocal music and opera, and Yulia majored in piano.
Both of them had good family backgrounds. Lilly's grandmother was determined to compensate Lilly. Seeing that the two girls had a good relationship, she used some connections to assign them to the same apartment so that they could take care of each other.
"What's the point?" Lilly muttered with a frown. At this time, she saw a black Panamera driving into the misty rain from a distance. In the blink of an eye, she arrived at the downstairs of her apartment. As soon as the car stopped, her cell phone rang in the dormitory the next second.
"You said he hated you?" Yulia took out the phone, handed it to Lilly, and asked.
