Sir madame has run away again (Lily and Carson)

Chapter 165

“A customer filed a claim against me? President Smith, has there been a mistake?” I’ve been on a lot of

leave days lately. As a result, I didn’t have many projects at hand, nor did I interact much with

clients. Who the hell filed a complaint against me?

“It’s not a mistake. Mr. Walker has filed a complaint against you, claiming that, as a designer, you are

arrogant and unkind to your client. Furthermore, he also said that you were irresponsible.”

“I don’t understand, President Smith. I don’t think I did anything wrong!”

“Ahem…” President Smith cleared his throat. “Lilian, did you call Mr. Walker after I sent it yesterday?”

“I was about to call him, but his call came through.”

“Besides, he called you last night. Why didn’t you answer?”

“It’s not that I refused to answer it, but I didn’t hear the call last night!” I tried my best to prove my

innocence.

“Even if you didn’t hear the calls last night, I’m sure you saw the missed calls this morning. If you saw

that Mr. Walker called you, shouldn’t you have returned his calls?” he snapped.

“I just saw the calls and was about to call back.” I was silently cursing Eric in my heart; I hated him so

much he was grinding his teeth. Unfortunately, now was not the time for me to try to reason with the

facts. Eric had pressured me by complaining directly to President Smith, so I had no choice but to bend

over backwards to please both of them.

“I knew you weren’t the kind of person Mr. Walker claimed to be.” He seemed satisfied with my

answers. “Still, Lilian, I have to be honest with you. We worked together for so many years that we are

like family to each other. However, Mr. Walker is different – he’s one of our customers. If you don’t

actively call him out, it’s a sign of arrogance and disrespect in his eyes. So I think you need to

apologize to him personally.

“President Smith, I will call him immediately and apologize to him. There’s no need for me to meet with

him, right?” Do I have to go meet him in person to apologize?! Is he trying to torment me?! I don’t want!

“Yes you have! It’s how you express your sincerity. I believe that apologizing in person is better. By the

way, my driver is already waiting for you downstairs. Hurry and go!” After saying this, President Smith

ended the call.

What the hell?! I was so angry that I almost threw the phone. How can Eric be so shameless?! And to Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

think he used President Smith to pressure me! If I refuse to apologize to him, it’s like I’m rebelling

against President Smith! Whatever it is; I have no choice but to bow my head. I took all the bullshit that

Carson and his family threw at me for so long; what’s a little humiliation like that?

Grabbing my bag, I left my office. Jessica saw me as I was waiting for the elevator and asked, “Where

are you going?”

“I’ll apologize,” I replied sullenly.

“Huh? What do you need to apologize for?”

“Eric complained that I am arrogant, impolite and irresponsible!” I spat angrily.

“I knew Eric wasn’t going to let you off that easily. Well, what now? Are you in trouble?”

Jessica didn’t know about the calls. So the first thing she thought was that Eric was getting revenge for

last night’s incident where an artist from his company was beaten up. At his reminder, I had a sudden

revelation. Last night, I was so mad at Eliza that I had completely forgotten about this incident! Oh shit!
