Chapter 377


    “So How Can I Help You, President Walker?”


    “Stay there and don’t go anywhere! That was the irrational order he gave as he red at me.


    “President Walker, are you crazy?” I couldn’t hold back anymore. “Do you parents know how you are

    behaving? Who do you think I am? Am I some kind of scoundrel? It’s just a project, so why do you


    insist on making things difficult for me? I’ll have y’all know I gave up! You can handle the rest of the


    project on your own!”


    The long airing made me feel so much better. As I opened the door to leave, he called out to me and


    said, “You know what the consequences are when you leave, Lilian Hawkins!TM


    “What can you do about it? Are you nning to attack President Smith after this? Wants to know? You


    can do whatever you want without considering my feelings. While I owe President Smith a favor, I owe


    you nothing! You can try to target it, but I can always buy yourpany as payment!”


    My words were met with a sharp intake of breath, which caused me to turn to see Callie’s secretary


    and Eric looking at me with wide eyes as they stood in the doorway. It was obvious that my reaction


    caught them off guard, but I didn’t dy any longer. Instead, I strode out to the elevator without even


    returning to my office.


    My descent to the lower levels was uninhibited. As I nned to drive home after that, I remembered


    that my car was still parked near the restaurant Eric opened, so I took a cab to get to my car.


    As I was walking home I got a call from Carson “Honey where are you now?”


    “Somewhere out there. What is the problem?”


    “Is nothing. I only called because I want you to know that I miss you.


    and you. There was concern in his voice. “Instead of holding him back, you can tell me about


    anything. Maybe I can give you some suggestions.”


    “I am fine. What can go wrong?” I suddenly remembered my argument with Eric, which made me


    wonder if Carson somehow knew about this. However, it was not possible, as the discussion took ce


    in Eric’s workshop, while the only people present outside were Eric’s secretary and Callie. Neither


    could have connections with Carson, nor would he be able to send someone to spy on Eric. If Carson


    somehow managed to do that, he sure would be one hell of a man.


    “No news is good news, but let me know if anything happens. I will always be by your side.”


    I simply scoffed at the idea, as I was pretty sure I’d be dead if I trusted him with anything. However, I


    didn’t let it show. “I see, thank you, dear! I have another calling in, so I’m going to hang up!” It


    wasn’t until after I did that that I realized Jenny was calling. So I answered the call. “Jenny, is


    something wrong?”


    “Lily, where are you?


    “Way home.”


    “What happened back there? Why did you fight with President Walker?”


    “Never in my life have I seen anyone as shameless as he is! How did such a deceitful, mean and


    cunning scoundrel manage to get to his position? I am not his ve, so why should I allow him to order


    me around?”


    “President Walker is not such a person. Are you sure there wasn’t a misunderstanding?”
