Chapter 369


    I wondered if maybe it was because I was married while Callie wasn’t. Realization gave me a lot of


    rity, so I answered, smiling. “My stomach was hurting, so I was advised by my doctor not to eat spicy


    food, better if I stoppedpletely, so I don’t eat spicy food anymore.”


    “And even? Didn’t you used to crave spicy food? Is this not bad news for you?” Camille looked worried


    about that.


    “It’s okay as I’ve noticed that I have less cravings for spicy food now that I’ve stopped eating them.” I


    didn’t give her an honest answer.


    After talking for a while, she seemed to have remembered something. “I’m here to retrieve Eric’s phone


    that he left here. Alright, I’ll say goodbye now.”


    “OK.”


    Camille turned when she reached the door. “Lily, I’ll be backter.”


    Despite a slight reluctance, I happily agreed with her. I slumped in my chair as the sounds of her


    footsteps faded into the distance, all the while calcting that thest half of my day would be awful,


    which I tried toe up with a solution to.

    No longer in the mood for games, I got distracted while sitting in the office. My phone rang with a call


    from an unknown number after I’d spent some time in my seat. The caller was persistent despite my


    repeated efforts to hang up the call so I could only answer, after which a male voice came


    through. “Hello, Lily!”


    “Who is calling!”


    “It is me. Richard Tyson!”


    I wouldn’t have known who he was if I hadn’t heard Eric mention his name that morning. “Oh, hello,


    young master Tyson!”


    “Are you busy?” he asked.


    Iugh awkwardly. “A little.”


    “I’ll be brief, then. Are you free tonight? I’d like you to be my date for a meeting.”


    Richard’s bluntness was a bit of a headache. “I’m sorry, young master Tyson, I don’t have time tonight.”


    “How about tomorrow night?”


    “I will be busy.”


    “Then and the day after tomorrow!” Another question followed.


    I mentally groaned as I thought, Oh God, does he go to meetings every day? However, refusing him


    again seemed impolite, so I let out a hollowugh before replying, “Maybe I’ll be free that day.”


    A chuckle came before he said, “You just lied, Lilian.”


    “No I did not.”


    “You promised to attend the cocktail party at my house that day, so how can you be free!”


    My face heated up. “Sorry, I misremembered.”


    “Find a better excuse if you want to turn someone down next time and don’t let them get you with the


    question. You should have said, ‘I’m sorry. I’m in the outer season so I won’t be back for awhile. It will


    stop them from asking more.”Chapter 369


    So he knew I was turning him down, I thought as my blush intensified. “Wait, young master Tyson. I


    wasn’t turning you down, because I have things to do.”


    “Okay, I’m going to assume I made a mistake in my judgment. What I said earlier was a joke, so please


    don’t take it seriously. [7] See you at the party the day after tomorrow, so don’t worry. do not bete!”


    “Okay, I won’t.”


    As I hung up, I noticed that Camille was smiling at me as she stood in the doorway. I returned the smile


    as I looked into the space behind her, but Callic and Eric were nowhere to be seen. With an inquisitive


    look, Camille sat across from me as she studied my face. “Lily, was the call from Young Master Tyson?”
