Chapter 107
"—Boss Wayne, we are truly honored to be able to enjoy the company's new benefits for the first batch." The person in charge of One Thought led Xipil to welcome him, and expressed his gratitude excitedly.
Edwards symbolically extended his hand out and shook hands with the person in charge of One Thought.
With every gesture, he displayed the charisma and demeanor of a mature man. In addition to his tall stature, he wore a strict and orthodox suit that seemed to be tailored for him, adorning his noble and extraordinary appearance.
Although Lily who was standing in the crowd tried her best to ignore that man, it was a pity that his aura was just too strong.
She still sneaked a few glances at him and saw that her God mother and the person in charge of One Thought were bowing towards him, as if they were worship him as if he were a god.
Suddenly facing such an unfamiliar Edwards, Lily was at a loss.
In the Wayne Family, when facing the kids, Lily could still take advantage of the resentment he had towards him and treat him indifferently in all kinds of ways.
But now, as her boss, she no longer dared to be presumptuous towards him.
When Edwards passed by her, he did not stop and directly stepped into the private box.
When Lily sat down, she realized that her godmother had actually placed her at the same table as Edwards.
It was hard for Lily to understand what did her mother mean by this. Didn't she just say that if she saw this man, she would take a detour around him?
What was going on now? She was completely stupefied.
The reason why Xipil made this arrangement was actually to hope that Lily could toast Edwards and say some good words. Previously, Edwards had almost gotten rid of Lily's work, but she had always remembered this matter, and was just thinking that if she had the chance to show a little respect to Edwards, the misunderstanding from before might just disappear like smoke in thin air.
Since her godmother had arranged for her to sit so close to Edwards, she had no choice but to sit down.
A faint smile hung on Edwards's handsome face, giving off a rare feeling of intimacy.
The group of female employees in the room all looked at Edwards bashfully. The more they looked at him, the more tempted they would feel.
They really didn't expect that there would be such a handsome and rich man in the world. He was simply the perfect incarnation.
How would it feel to be able to date such a man? Anyone must be so happy.
The delicious delicacies were soon served on the table. The fragrance assaulted the nostrils and caused one's appetite to stir.
However, it wasn't an easy task to have a hearty meal with his boss.
Very quickly, people started toasting to Edwards and a few of the higher ups.
Lily lowered her head, ate, and pretended not to notice the toast.
"Lily, quick, give the Boss Wayne a toast!" Xipil suddenly called out her name softly.
Lily was slightly stunned, when she raised his eyes, she saw the man sitting in the right spot, with a pair of unfathomable eyes looking at her.
Lily's heart inexplicably jumped up and down because of his gaze.
"Hurry, hurry!" Xipil was still urging her, thinking that this was a good opportunity that she couldn't afford to miss.
Lily had no choice but to give up on her delicacies and place a cup of wine in her hands.
"Walk over!" Xipil said in a low voice.
Lily had no choice but to quickly walk in front of Edwards. It was just that, she did not expect that when she was about to reach his side, someone extended his leg and tripped her.
The cup in Lily's hands directly flew towards Edwards, and herself did not escape from it. With a scream, she threw herself into Edwards's embrace.
This sudden change in the situation caused everyone present to stop their movements and look in shock at Lily who was struggling to stand up from Edwards's embrace.
Lily had not expected such a miserable situation to occur, she raised her head again and saw that the collar of Edwards's dark black suit had been drenched by her wine.
Xipil was also shocked. She hurried over and scolded Lily first: "Lily, what's wrong with you? Do you not have eyes to walk? Look at how you spilled the wine on Boss Wayne's clothes, hurry up and take a tissue to wipe him clean."
Lily was woken up by her godmother's voice. After that, she grabbed a tissue and walked to Edwards's side, wanting to help him wipe it clean.
Edwards did not reject, and only looked deeply at her.
He was still reminiscing about the feeling of her throwing herself at him earlier.
He already knew that her body was weak, and the feeling of being hit by force just now wasn't bad at all.
"Sorry ... Boss Wayne! " Although Lily felt apologetic for her mistake, she knew clearly that someone had tripped her. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for her to throw herself into Edwards's arms.
Who is it?
Lily turned around in anger. In the place she just went, there were three women sitting.
"Alright, stop wiping, I'm fine!" Edwards saw that she was wiping indifferently, and did not get angry. He only reached out his hands, and gently pushed her hand away.
Xipil immediately apologized from the side, "Boss Wayne, I am really sorry. She is a newbie, there are some things that I still haven't done well enough. I hope you don't blame her."
Edwards squinted that Xipil seemed to be very protective of Lily, is there any connection between them?
Lily lowered her head and did not speak further.
Edwards raised his head and said to Xipil: "It's just an accident, it's not a big deal. You can go back to your seat to eat."
Xipil never thought that Edwards would actually become so easy to talk to, and immediately let out a breath of relief before sitting back down.
Lily also sat back down, and very quickly, there were people discussing in a low voice.
"This performance was really good."
"I was carried by Boss Wayne just like that."
"Why didn't I think of that?"
"Director Xipil is too nice to her, and apologized on her behalf."
"She came in through the back door. I heard she signed the contract!"
Lily knew that after that small incident just now, she would definitely become the focus of everyone's discussion.
Edwards's gaze intentionally fell on her face. Seeing that she seemed to be even more dispirited, he thought his mood also became heavy.
Originally, Edwards had planned for some more interesting programs, but seeing that she had become dispirited from that mistake, Edwards decided to let her go.
With the hug from before, his purpose in coming here today could be considered accomplished.
She must be upset about the accident now.
Lily was not upset, but angry. If she knew who tripped her, she would definitely not forgive her.
Did the one think she was so easy to bully just because she was a newbie?
After finishing this meal, Lily did not raise her head to look at Edwards, but she could still feel an intense gaze that occasionally stopped on her body.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
