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 nned 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 perfumepany. Its


    Property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    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 note yet. Only the appointed vice president is here now."


    Seeing Vice President''s name and thinking of the gossip recently, she nces 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 form 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 isme in


    product nning 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 ns to outsource their product nning 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


    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 hourter, David, who has gone to clean up the CEO''s office,es back. "Mr. Smith,


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


    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 ws trimmed. Then take them to the park for a walk."


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


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


    Louis lifts his eyelids and nces 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 bes 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 smallpany 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 smallpany. No big deal." Louis says indifferently, "Don''t sell them. cklist thepany."


    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 topanies 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 thepany, Lily receives a call from John. He says that there is something wrong with


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


    "OK, don''t worry! I''m here." Lily smiles andforts 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, E 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 cklisted


    us..."


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


    urs 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, E 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 cklisted..."
