Chapter 34 With An Apology On His Face
The next morning, when Lily opened her eyes, the sun had already shone into the room. She immediately sat up, which attracted the attention of Eric, who was standing by the window.
"You're awake?" He put his hands in his pants pockets, lazily against the edge of the window and looked at her.
"Well, what time is it now?" Lily lifted out of bed, but frowns because of the wide range of movements that affected her waist injury.
"You should slow down. It's only half past seven." While speaking, Eric had brought a stack of clothes to her, "Put on the clothes first."
It was just half past seven. Lily let out a sigh of relief. Time was not late.
When she saw the folded clothes in front of her, she was stunned. This clothes was exactly what she wore yesterday and was washed very clean. Most importantly, the underwear was actually put on top by him!
She almost grabbed the clothes. She directly held the clothes in her arms. She blushed and did not go to see Eric and said, "Thank you. Please go out first."
Glancing at Lily, Eric walked outside with a smile, and said, "There are new washing supplies in the bathroom."
Lily blushed. After Eric went out, she quickly got out of bed and went to the bathroom. After getting dressed, she walked out of the room.
"Come here and have breakfast." Seeing her come out, Eric on the sofa waved.
The breakfast on the tea table was obviously for two people: milk, poached egg and sandwiches.
Lily shook her head and said, "No. I have to go back to the old house. I made an appointment with grandpa to go to the company with him today. I'm afraid that I don't have enough time." All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
"I'll send you after eating." Eric looked at her and said.
"No need to trouble you ..."
"I said, I'll send you after eating!" Eric interrupted her aggressively. He didn't like her refusal.
Lily was stunned and looked at him with some doubts. He was fine just now, but why did she suddenly lose his temper?
Perhaps he realized that he had a serious tone, Eric pulled her directly to sit down in front of the sofa, then took the milk to her, "Eat."
"Okay." Lily bowed her head and took a sip of milk. She secretly glanced at him.
Of course, Eric noticed her little gesture, and he felt a little guilty about the tone just now. In fact, it was not directed at her. Thinking of the words that his mother said last night, he was inexplicably upset.
On the way to the old house, Eric had been keeping silent with his brows twisted. No one knew what he was thinking about.
Seeing that, Lily didn't say anything. She was afraid that Eric would lose his temper again.
They arrived at the Qiao family's house. Because of politeness, Lily got off the car and said goodbye to him. The response was that he stepped on the accelerator, and the dust left after the car quickly left.
"What's wrong with him today?" Looking at the disappearing car, Lily muttered. Then she turned around and walked into the old house.
Dillon was waiting for her when she came in.
"Lily, come on."
"Yes." Lily nodded, "Grandpa has been waiting for me for a long time."
Joe smiled and got out of the chair. "Not long. Let's go."
"Okay." Lily walked up to him and held his arm. They walked to the car that had been waiting in the front yard.
"Daniel Hong." Before they got into the car, Lily said hello to the driver.
Daniel replied with a smile, "Miss Lily."
Lily smiled. In her memory, Daniel was very honest and kind. It was him who took care of grandpa in the past.
After they both got on the car, Joe said, "Daniel, drive the car."
"Yes, my Lord." The car was started as soon as Daniel said.
Along the way, Joe kept talking about the business in the company, and Lily listened to him quietly.
In fact, she knew a little bit about the business of the company. In her previous life, after the graduation from the University, under the arrangement of Joe, she had been working in the company, and then married to Frank. Following Frank's words, she took a full-time wife at home.
To her surprise, she had not only sold her company, but also died.
When they arrived at the building of the Qiao Company, Lily helped Joe out of the car. Looking at the familiar building, she smiled.
"CEO Joe." Two receptionists in the same uniform stood up after they walked into the building.
"Yes." Joe nodded, "Did boss Dillon arrive?"
"Yes, he is waiting in your office." One of them answered.
Joe nodded again and turned to Lily, "Let's go."
"Okay." Lily replied, and walked towards the exclusive elevator with him. She sneered, 'Qiao Company, I'm back again!'
The elevator ran steadily up and soon reached the floor where the office was located. Lily helped Joe walked to the office step by step.
She was looking forward to seeing the expression on Dillon's face. In her previous life, he had opposed her entering the company, but later because of her grandfather's insistence, he had to agree.
As soon as the door opened, Lily saw his Dillon, Lucia, Lucia and Claire. She could not help raising her eyebrows. Why he brought his wife and daughter here?
"Dad, you..." Dillon stood up with a smile, but when he saw Lily, the smile on his face froze immediately.
"Why are they here?" Joe looked at Lucia and Claire unhappily.
Both of them pulled a bad face. Lucia answered with a stiff smile on her face, "Dad, I'm here with Eden."
"What? What do you want to see?" Joe glared at her, turned around and walked to the office table.
Seeing this, Lily immediately followed him and held his arm.
"Father, Lucia came here because she was worried." Dillon tried to defend Lucia.
Joe snorted and didn't ask more. He looked at Dillon and said, "I'm here today to tell you that Eden will learn in the company with Lily in the future."
"Dad, Lily is still young..." Dillon didn't expect Joe would do so, and his face was full of displeasure.
"She and Eden are at the same age, and they should work together to learn." Joe interrupted him, "What's more, Qiao Company is such a large company, Eden will take over it in the future. I'm afraid he won't be able to handle it. It's good to have someone help him."
"But Lily is a girl after all. I'm afraid that she can't stand it." He pretended to be a good father.
Joe was unhappy. He glanced at him and said, "Do I need your permission to make any decision?"
"Dad, you're wrong. That's not what I meant." Dillon explained hastily, but at the same time, he glanced at Lily unpleasantly.
Seeing Joe was so partial to Lily, Lucia and Claire were even more upset. They directly glanced at her and wanted to kill her with their eyes.
Lily turned a blind eye to this, she knew that they would behave like this.
Only Eden stood quietly. There was no unhappy expression on his face, instead, there was a faint apology on his face.
Sorry? Lily was confused. She also felt deeply sorry from his face last night.
"Dad, I don't know if I should say something or not." At this moment, Lucia spoke with a bit of remorse, "if I told you, I was afraid that you would be unhappy. But it's also my fault. I didn't do my duty as a mother and taught Kevin well."
Lily frowned and looked up at her, wondering what she was going to do.
"What is it?" Joe didn't like Lucia at all, but when he heard that it was related to Lily, he agreed.
After getting permission, Lucia began to say, "After having dinner at Gu family last night, Frank gave Claire a gift, which was not given to Lily. Lily also liked the gift. So she was so angry that she pushed Claire to the lake. If it was not for the rescue in time, Claire would be dead."
"Really?" Joe asked, but he asked Dillon.
After looking at Joe and then at Lily, Dillon frowned and nodded. "Yes, everyone has seen it personally."
Lily smiled coldly. What Eric said last night were right. Claire was really good at distorting the truth!
"Lily..." Joe turned to look at Lily standing next to him and asked, "Is that true?"
"No, it's not." She replied with a smile. Her voice was not loud, but full of confidence.
"Yes." Joe nodded his head and then looked at Dillon and Lucia. "I trust her."
"Father..." Lucia wanted to say something more, but Dillon interrupted her. "I know what kind of person she is. As for what you just said, I don't want to interfere and I don't have the energy."
Lucia was choked up and couldn't say anything. She could do nothing but glare at Lily. She didn't expect that Joe was so partial to that bitch!
Lily glanced at Lucia with a smile. When she was about to take back her gaze, she saw that Eden was frowning as if he was trying to hide something.
Then she sneered in her heart, Eric must displeased because she was his new competitor.
Lucia gritted her teeth and shoot a resentful glance at Lily. She turned around to look at Dillon, expecting that he would say something. But Dillon did so.
"Well, if you have nothing else to do, just go back. Nobody in the company will bully Eden." He said to Lucia.
Even Lucia was dissatisfied, she could do nothing but say, "I know, Dad. Claire and I will go back first."
Then, she took Claire out of the office. Before they left, they both gave Lily a resentful look.
Lily was care about it. But she was still touched by grandpa's trust.
After they all left, Dillon made an internal call, "Inform all the directors to come to my office."
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
Lily smiled. She knew that the next step was to meet all the shareholders.
