Chapter 142 If She Were Given One More Chance
Chapter 142 If She Were Given One More Chance
Lily heads for the destination with the mountain bike and arrives at the hotel five minutes early.
As she walks quickly to the hotel, she sorts out her hair and clothes. But when she asks about
President Heller Hodge at the front desk, the waitress tells her that Heller had already left.
“Shit!” Lily throws the bag onto the front desk in anger.
She borrowed a bike from a kid and she hurried here, but only to find that Heller has left!
Shit! Are you kidding me!
After a few gasps, Lily calls Heller.
“President Lily.”
“Is President Heller Hodge busy?” After recognizing that the voice is not Heller's, Lily frowns and tries
to hold back her anger and smiles, “When I got to the hotel on time, the waitress tells me that President
Heller Hodge has left.”
“Mr. Heller has a few things to do, so he left.” the man says, “Mr. Heller wants to apologize to you. I am
very sorry. Next time if he is free, he will invite President Lily to dinner.”
Lily wants to curse him in her heart, but she withholds the anger and says, “It's fine. Since Mr. Heller is
busy, I'll make arrangement next time.”
“Good-bye, President Lily.”
“Good-bye.”
After hanging up the phone, Lily looks sullen, grits her teeth and says, “Jessie is right. I must be out of
my mind. I didn't sell myself to the Smith Group. Why would I do this?”
She really wants to tell Louis that she will quit the job!
Lily sits in the lobby like with dissatisfaction for a long time, but thinking that she has learned a lot from
Louis since she becomes the acting President of the Smith Group, Lily feels it is worth it.
She will never be able to learn so much anywhere else.
After a while, Lily calls Meghan and says, “Meghan, go to the information department and check Field
Hodge's latest schedule and send it to me.”
Since Heller isn't available, she goes to find his son!
Five minutes later, Lily gets the schedule of Mr. Field. It is said that today, his friend holds a birthday
party at a certain high-end club, so Lily goes straight to the club.
Coincidentally, this is the club where Lily helped Louis with his first business deal.
When Lily gets out of the car and sees the name of the club, she recalls the negotiation and her
stomach being sick that day. Finally, she was blocked and questioned by Louis in the bathroom.
“...”
If she were given another chance, she would definitely come to the club that day!
Lily finds the lobby manager and asks with familiarity, “I don't think it's good to drive today because of
the rain. Is Mr. Field here?”
“Yes! He is in the box! Assuming that Lily and Mr. Field are friends, the lobby manager smiles and
leads Lily to Mr. Field's private room.
It is a top VIP suite. As the door opens, the fragrance of alcohol mixed with the perfume on the
woman's body blow on Lily’s face. The private room covering nearly two hundred square meters is
decorated brilliantly, with sense of luxury and lust.
There are about twenty people in the suite, singing songs, playing dice, and some people are sitting
around chatting and drinking.
The manager takes Lily to the private room and leaves.
The lighting in the suite is a little dim and ambiguous, but Lily has a sharp eye and sees Mr. Field sitting
on the sofa. His brown hair is brushed back and his mouth is raised, looking foppish.
On the way to the club, Lily made a detailed analysis.
At present, the remaining money of the Smith Group has been used to buy back the shares from the
shareholders. In order to sell the shares, it needs to find a big buyer.
Heller made his fortune in real estate in HK, ranking the sixth in the rich list of HK. In recent years, he
moved to the mainland, and still engaged in the real estate business and invested in film and television,
making a lot of money.
Heller is very famous in mainland China. So, if she can persuade Heller to buy the shares of the Smith
Group, it will be much easier for Lily to find other bosses.
Lily sorts out her hair and walks towards Field. “Mr. Field.”
When Mr. Field looks up from the conversation, he sees Lily wearing a white shirt and a pair of suit
trousers, showing her tall figure with a touch of handsome flavor. His eyes are slightly bright as he
raises interests in Lily.
Mr. Field sits up in the sofa and asks with interest, “Whose friend are you?”Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
“Heller and I are friends.” Lily smiles and puts the gift on the mahogany table, “I just stopped by and
happens to hear that Mr. Field’s friend is celebrating his birthday here, so I come here to send my
wishes.”
“I don’t think my dad has such a...” Mr. Field eyes up and down at Lily with ambiguity, “beautiful friend.”
The man next to him laughs out loud, “Heller, you've just come back and haven't known much news.
She's Lily, the acting President of the Smith Group.”
Lily frowns as she hears the familiar voice.
As the man comes out of the dark, she finds it is Ellison, whom she has met last time at the company.
He is Richard's second son.
When Ellison speaks, Lily becomes the subject of the crowd.
Mr. Field also takes more look at her and says in surprise, “I know something has happened to Louis.
The Smith Group has chosen an acting President, but I didn't expect it to be a woman who is so
beautiful.”
“What's beauty for?” someone sneers, “Look at the Smith Group, it almost goes bankrupt.”
“Ah! If I were Mr. Louis, I won’t choose her. Anyone would be better than she is.”
“Yes!”
“...”
Since she becomes the acting President, Lily has long been immune to these unsightly words. She
remains calm, and smiles slightly at Mr. Field, “May I have a word with Mr. Field?”
“Lily, you didn't meet Mr. Heller, so you come to find Mr. Field, right?”
Mr. Ellison leans forward and looks at Lily with frivolity. “Do you want to ask Mr. Field to help you ask
Heller out, or do you want to persuade Mr. Field to buy the original shares of the Smith Group?”
Lily is shocked.
She thought Ellison is lazy and doesn’t pay attention to the work, but he is so insightful.
Mr. Field's face changes and he says, “The Smith Group is going bankrupt, and I don't know how much
debt you owe, but you want to persuade my family to buy shares in the Smith Group? Do I look like a
fool?!”
Lily gives a weak smile and says, “As You know, Mr. Field, the Smith Group is the leading Group in the
country Z. It had driven the economic development of Yorkshire, Shetland North and Yanking, and
provided employment for tens of thousands of workers, which could not be achieved by any other
Group.”
“Right now, the Smith Group is just having a little trouble, and it won’t go bankrupt.”
“Mr. Field, I would like you to help me talk to Heller that I want to treat him a meal.” says Lily, “The
Hodge Group has nothing to lose if they work with the Smith Group.”
“My dad won't cooperate with you!” Mr. Field waves his hand and says, “Find whoever wants to get the
benefits of the Smith Group!”
As Mr. Field speak so, Ellison suddenly says something to him.
“Heller,” Ellison adds, “She is the acting President of the Smith Group. Since she has come here, you
might give her some face. Just make some negotiation with her.”
Lily thinks Ellison says this to her.
