A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure

Chapter 442: Hasn't He Compromised Enough?

"Flaunting?" Lily snorts, "I think Mr. Smith likes her very much."

David senses the jealousy in Lily's words and feels that she must have misunderstood something. He

says in a delicate way, "Ms. Lily, you are thinking too much. She isn't Mr. Smith's type."

"HS borrowed people from the Smith Group and signed the contract, right? The starlet is a member of

the Smith Group. Since we've signed the contract, we definitely won't make it free. We will pay

attention to her."

After a pause, David slows down and adds, "Ms. Lily, you should know why Mr. Smith is doing this."

Lily is not stupid. She understands what David says and is astounded.

She thinks that Louis has changed his taste and likes the starlet, so he secretly introduced her to so

many of his connections. But actually, he did this for her.

That's right. How can she be so stupid?

Think about it, three million is not enough to contract with a celebrity like the starlet, so there must be

somebody manipulating all of this behind the scene.

Lily feels relieved and mutters, "So he has no other woman?"

"Ms. Lily, what did you say?" Lily's voice was too low and David doesn't hear her clearly, so he leans

over.

"Nothing." Lily is suddenly in a good mood and gives the insulation buckets on the table to David.

"These are pork rib soup and braised pig trotter. Take them..."

After thinking for a while, she changes what she is going to say, "There are quite a lot of them. Let Mr.

Smith share them with Chandler."

David drools, "Ms. Lily, can I have a share?"

"Yeah."

Just as David is delighted and is going to leave with the buckets, he hears Lily say, "It depends on Mr.

Smith."

David is speechless.

Then the answer is clear. The only thing he will receive from Mr. Smith is his disdainful look.

"Ms. Lily, isn't the new CEO of the branch John? Why isn't he here?" David asks Lily cautiously.

Lily thinks that he knows the reason, so she casually replies, "He is occupied. He will come back to

Yorkshire later."

Sure enough!

David doesn't ask any more questions. After bidding farewell, he leaves with insulation buckets in his

hand.

On the way back to Smith Group, David is still wondering about how the information gets leaked. He

has handled it well! So he thinks about everyone involved in this.

Apart from the star and her agent, only Mr. Smith, he and Catherine know about this.

The starlet will not be so stupid as to both take so many resources and ride a wave of popularity from Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

Mr. Smith's identity. Catherine is an old employee of the Secretary Department, and she is so trusted

by Mr. Smith. She won't do such a thing to ruin her career.

It occurs to David that he told Sofia about this matter.

Can she be the one who leaked the news?

David thinks it impossible because he has been her classmate for more than a decade. He feels that

Sofia does not need to do this, and also, she just returns and doesn't have extensive networks.

In the end, David does not come to Sofia, but goes back to the president's office with the insulation

buckets.

"Ms. Lily asked me to bring these back." David hands the food over to Louis. "Ms. Lily told you to share

it with Chandler, and she says..."

Noticing his hesitance, Louis opens the buckets and asks, "What else?"

David tries his best to hold back laughter and he is shaking violently. "Ms. Lily said that Chandler is

growing up and you shouldn't make any wicked cuisines to make him suffer. Just hire a chef. Ms. Lily

also said that if Chandler doesn't grow up healthily after eating the food you cook, Mr. Daniel will kill

you when he returns!"

Louis' cold glance sweeps over, "Is it funny?"

" ... No." David tries his best to hold back and says euphemistically, "Forget it. Mr. Smith, you should

focus on earning money. It's fine to have lousy cooking skills. After all, not everyone has this talent."

"Anything else?"

"Mr. Smith, the braised trotters are greasy. If you don't want to eat them, let me have the honor, will

you?" David has a watery mouth when he sees the trotters in the bucket.

"Fuck off." The man doesn't give him any chance.

"Mr. Smith, you're so stingy." David sighs and then reports to him, "When I left, I asked Ms. Lily and she

confirmed that the CEO of the branch is John."

He doesn't know what Ms. Lily is thinking. She enjoys Mr. Smith's generosity while helping John.

He feels that Ms. Lily is quite ... double-faced.

"Yeah, got it." Louis' tone does not change as he drives David away. "If you have nothing else, leave."

"..."

After David leaves the CEO's office, Louis stares at the trotters in the bucket. The smell is alluring. The

picture of the woman cooking in the kitchen surfaces in his mind.

After a long time, he sighs. "She never lets me down."

He has always known that the reason behind Lily's sudden return is not simple. Today, he learned

about this from David. He is certain that John took HS because of a bet with Jonathan, and Lily joined

the company to help John.

Lily doesn't want Jonathan to win, and she wants to avenge Chloe.

He knows her purpose behind every step she has taken.

She wants to be independent, so he just watches and will give her anything she wants. She is growing

more mature and outstanding. Isn't it precisely her persistence and her bad temper that he loves?

However, when will she care less about others and pay more attention to him?

Hasn't he compromised enough in their love?

...

Lily's worry is proven.

She has watched graduation projects of more than thirty young directors on this day. Most of them are

too ordinary. Occasionally, there are stunning ones, but they are not what she wants.

The next day when she goes to the company, Ella shows all the candidates for the female lead to Lily.

Half of the forty girls are recruited from the campus. They are all fresh and will accept any price offered

by HS. The other thirteen are celebrities in the entertainment industry, and the price has to be

negotiated.

Lily looks through a pile of photos for a long time and chooses one.

However, this girl happens to be a contracted artist of Brilliant Media. After the call is connected, she

asks for ten million, and Lily angrily throws the phone away.

Actresses, with their charming faces, will ask as much as possible while actors of the same level will

agree and cooperate even if HS just offers them two million.

Lily wants to use actresses from Best Taste Entertainment, but Louis has helped her a lot and she is

embarrassed to ask for more. Besides, she told David that she didn't want Louis' help. It will be a

disrespect for Louis if she keeps changing her mind.

Lily feels a little irritated, so she calls Ella and asks her to go to the planning department for a

document.

No one answers the phone.

She goes out and sees that Ella is not in the office. Thinking that she is free, she goes to the planning

department herself.

Just as she reaches the floor of the planning department and is still walking along the corridor, Lily

hears laughter coming from an office in front of her. When she hears her name, her eyes flash and she

slows down.

The employees of the planning department are unaware and are still gossiping.

A female employee says, "I saw David from the Smith Group in our company yesterday. He went

straight to Ms. Lily's office and left after a few minutes with two insulation buckets."
