A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure

Chapter 418: They Know Nothing About Enjoying the Sunset!

Sofia can't help but tightly hold the newspaper in her arms, her fingers slightly pale, "Yes, I'll keep that

in mind."

She goes out quickly.

Louis has planned to deal with the documents, but when he smells the incense, he frowns and goes to

David in the secretarial department, "Since you have nothing better to do, why don't you clean up my

office to get some fresh air for me?"

"Alright, I'll go now!" David knows that Louis still doesn't like him, and he's afraid that he would be

transferred to the New York office, so he agrees to run the errand immediately.

Shortly after, Catherine returns. Seeing Louis here, she greets him politely.

Louis tells her to check the HS Company out.

She then does a quick investigation and says, "Mr. Smith, HS is a cosmetics and perfume company. Its

headquarter is in the Capital, the branch office in the north of the Financial Centre. I heard that they

have had a new CEO, but he has not come yet. Only the appointed vice president is here now."

Seeing Vice President's name and thinking of the gossip recently, she glances at Louis.

Oh my...

Do I need to tell Mr. Smith about this?

But obviously, Louis has lost the patience to listen. He asks her, "Anything special there recently?"

"Yes, they are releasing a new perfume." Catherine says, "HS bought this perfume formula from

someone else at a high price, and even signed a VAM with Merci Company under the Smith Group."

Louis’ eyes darken. "Ask Merci for that VAM, and give me a copy."

"Yes, please wait a minute."

She then quickly contacts Merci and gets the contents of the VAM.

She immediately hands a copy over to Louis and says, "The CCO of Merci said that HS is lame in

product planning and promotion campaigns."

"Yes, I know." Louis looks down at the agreement.

After going through the document, coupled with what the CCO said, Louis makes a guess about what

HS and the Smith Group talked in the phone call.

Essentially, HS plans to outsource their product planning and asks the Group for more working staff.

The thing is, the Group doesn't rely on cosmetics to make money, and won't care about small

companies like HS. Moreover, Merci has signed the VAM with HS. If the Group does transfer staff to

HS, it will stand to harm its own interest.

Louis gives the agreement back to Catherine and says without further consideration, "Shred it. Since

Merci and HS have a VAM, then reject any call from HS. No need to tell me."

"Yes." Catherine takes the document and shreds it.

About half an hour later, David, who has gone to clean up the CEO's office, comes back. "Mr. Smith,

your office has cleaned up. I also put fresh bluebells on your desk. You'll smell its fragrance when you

come into the office."

Hearing this, Louis’ face darkens and he stares at him, "Did I mention the flowers?"

David is stunned, freaking out. "I heard you mentioned bluebells and thought maybe you liked them

very much, so..."

Seeing Louis staring at him, he immediately says, "Don't worry. I am gonna remove them now."

"Forget it!" Louis tosses his keycard to David and says, "Go to my house. Take Lucky and Rich out for

a bath, and have their claws trimmed. Then take them to the park for a walk."

"N ... now?" David glances at his watch and cautiously asks, "Mr. Smith, I'm almost off work and I have

plans tonight. Could I come to your house tomorrow? I'll be there early in the morning!"

Louis lifts his eyelids and glances at him. "No, right now. I want them to enjoy the sunset."

David, "..."

Excuse me?!

A cat and a dog enjoying the sunset? Are you kidding me?

After Louis returns to his office, he feels that the air inside is much fresher.

He sees the bouquet of bluebells on the desk. Its faint fragrance reminds him of that woman. He

remembers how she turned him down that day in the elevator. Thinking of this, he kneads his eyebrow

center gently.

He doesn't know since when he becomes such an emotional guy who barely has a grip on his feelings.

He doesn't sound like himself now.

They have broken up, and that woman has moved on. Then why does he refuse to get over her?

Louis is zoning out. After a while, he finally notices that his phone is vibrating on the desk. The person

in charge of the orchard is calling him.

He answers and asks, "What's up?"

"Well, a man just called me. He said he's the assistant of HS." The man says, "HS wants to order 10

kilograms of oranges and apples. I don't know if you know about this. So I ask her to wait for a minute,

and check it out with you."

HS called the orchard?

Louis’ brows furrow even more tightly. First, it wants more staff from the Group, and now it's going to

buy the quality fruits from the Group's orchard? That small company has got a lot of nerve, hasn't it?

He thinks to himself.

"So Mr. Smith, did you know about this? Do we have any cooperation with HS?"

"Just a small company. No big deal." Louis says indifferently, "Don't sell them. Blacklist the company."

The man says yes, but does not rush to hang up. After hesitating for seconds, he says, "Mr. Smith, the

quality oranges growing in the greenhouse this year taste really good. I remember Ms. Lily likes

oranges. So do I need to send some over to her?"

"What? You have nothing better to do but rush up to send fruits to others?" Louis says in a cold and

upset tone.

"No, no. I'm just asking..."

Louis says coldly, "Pick up some to package, and send them over to companies that have close

cooperation with the Group. And send the rest to Leigh's clubhouse for those VIPs.

"Yes, sir. I'll take care of this. Goodbye." The man says carefully and hangs up the phone.

Louis is still standing there, looking at the phone in his palm.

What's the point of sending oranges to her?

She will not appreciate it even if he sends over. Besides, she will believe that he still cares about her.

...

Ever since that phone call, Lily returns to her apartment at night, tossing and turning, unable to fall

asleep. She feels upset and frustrated.

She doesn't thinking about Louis refusing to talk about cooperation between them, but about why Sofia

answered the phone.

After all, it is the president's office instead of the secretarial department, and she is not his special

assistant. What right does she have to answer the phone in the president's office? Could it be that

Louis and Sofia were making out in his office?

She thinks about it all night and gets up exhausted in the morning.

On her way to the company, Lily receives a call from John. He says that there is something wrong with Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

the office in Country R, and he is gonna take a look over there before he comes to Country Z.

"OK, don't worry! I'm here." Lily smiles and comforts him, "Take care of that office first. Don't worry

about here. Even if it takes a month to deal with, it'll be okay."

John gently says, "OK, take good care of yourself and the baby. Call me if you need anything."

"I know."

As soon as Lily arrives at HS, Ella greets her with an embarrassed expression, "Ms. Lily, the man of the

orchard said that the oranges had been sold out. When I called again, I found that they blacklisted

us..."

"The fruit in that orchard is specially sent to the Group's partners. It's impossible to be sold out." It

occurs to Lily that that man has lied to them. She purses her lips and says, "They just don't wanna sell

to us."

"And..." Looking at Lily's expression, Ella hesitates, "I want to make an appointment with Mr. Smith for

you, but Catherine from the secretarial department said that he's got a full schedule in the next two

months. Then I'm also blacklisted..."
