Chapter 488: My Phone''s Gone
The packaging box has a CHANEL logo on it, making it look expensive.
In the box, there are a perfume, a facial cleanser and a ssic small rhombus.
Having received such an expensive gift, the reporters understand what to write about today.
Lily takes the two from the Egret Company to the elevator and says, "It''s been a long day."
She shakes hands with them.
After entering the elevator, the person in charge of the White Egret says, "President Lily is someone."
"Indeed, but she is still a woman!" The perfumer''s face is gloomy.
The HS Company was caught in a misusing scandal, and Lily was arrested on suspicion of murdering a
pregnant woman. He thought thepany was definitely finished.
He doesn''t expect Lily to hold a press conference as soon as she came out, and with first-hand
evidences!
The man from Egret nces at him and sneers, "What''s wrong with a woman? She is smart, but you
are not! You are so stupid that you dare to use products with unknown origins!"
The perfumer retorts, "I was trying to take revenge on her, but I was unlucky to be dragged into it!"
"You''re lucky that we''ve reached a settlement with HS Company." The person in charge of the Egret
Company says coldly, "You are lucky that she broke up with Mr. Smith. Otherwise, with Mr. Smith''s
personality, there would be no room for you in this industry anymore."
The two of them has already left the elevator.
As the perfumer walks, he asks, "Has she really dated Mr. Smith?"
"Of course. What do you think?"
The perfumer turns around with a hint of mockery in his eyes and says, "It''s really good to be a woman.
As long as she lies down and spreads her legs, she can get anything she wants. She can even be
the vice president of a listedpany!"
"Don''t you see that she is good at her job?"
"With her background, even if she is good at her job, she has to take a shortcut to get the job in the first
ce!"
"Alright, shut up!" The person in charge says, "If you have the time to gossip, why don''t you spend it on
developing a new product instead?"
After all, they are still in HS. There are quite a lot of people walking in the lobby, so it will be
troublesome for others to hear them.
The perfumer remains silent with a sullen face.
The two of them leave HS Company.
The man who has just brushed past them stops and turns around to look at the back of the perfumer.
He smiles and then walks into the elevator in no hurry.
Unfortunately, he has heard thetter half of their conversation.
After settling everything, Lily returns to her office and sits down. She is about to take the fruit tea.

However, someone knocks on the office door, and the assistantes in, followed by a tall and strong
man.
"President Lily, Mr. Smollett of the Smollett Group is here."
Baron smiles and greets Lily, "President Lily, long time no see."
"Mr. Smollett." Lily hurriedly stands up to greet him.
Baron smiles and asks, "It looks like you''re pretty busy. Is it a bad time?"
"It''s all right. I''m done anyway." Lily takes him to sit on the sofa and pours tea for him, "Is there anything
I can do for you?"
"Yes, there''s something personal." Baron says and takes out an IOU to give to Lily, "Your friend
borrowed five hundred thousand from me. She said that if I couldn''t find her, I coulde and ask you
for it."
"Five hundred thousand?"
Such arge amount of money makes Lily somewhat shocked, curious about who it is.
She takes the IOU and has a quick look at it. Seeing that it is Jessie who signed it, and a fingerprint
was pressed on the side, she is shocked.
She hurriedly asks Baron, "Why did she borrow so much money from you?"
As she asks, Lily stands up and goes to the drawer to get her phone, only to discover the phone that
was originally there has disappeared.
Baron asks, "President Lily, what''s wrong?"
"My phone is gone."
"Do you want to make a call?" Baron takes out his phone and says, "If you''re in a hurry, use mine."
Lily thinks that she may have put it in another ce, so she pulls open a few other drawers and
searches for it, but she can''t find it.
She can only go back and borrow Baron''s phone to call Chloe.
Before Chloe picks up, Lily asks Baron, "Why would Little Fairy ask you to borrow money? You
probably didn''t know that we were friends, did you?"
"I really didn''t know." Baron raises his eyebrows slightly, "But I know Mr. Leigh. I saw Mr. Leigh bring
her over at a meeting and introduced her as his girlfriend. You know the rtionship between Mr. Smith
and Mr. Leigh. However, Miss Jessie seems to have broken up with Mr. Leigh, so it''s not appropriate
for me to ask Leigh for the money."
"Where did you meet her?"
"Hospital. I didn''t feel well in the throat. The car just happened to pass by the hospital, so I wanted to
see a doctor. When I entered the lobby, I saw her holding her phone in panic and crying."
At that time, Baron saw that Jessie was covered in blood and thought that something had happened to
her. Thinking that she was Leigh''s girlfriend, he kindly helped her and let Leigh owe him a favor.
Baron went up to ask Jessie what was going on and said that he knew Leigh. He wanted to offer some
help.
Jessie originally didn''t want to talk to him, and the call seemed to have been unable to get through, so
she asked him if he could lend her five hundred thousand. The money was for the surgery of her
rtive.
"Please don''t tell Leigh about this." Jessie cried as she borrowed paper and pen from the cashier and
wrote the IOU to Baron.
"If you can''t find me tomorrow, go to HS Company to find Lily. She will give you the money."
Baron guessed that Jessie should be close to Lily. Seeing how anxious she was, he took the IOU and
went to the cashier to pay for Jessie. He asked his assistant to bring the rest of the cash.
Jessie got the money and ran away in a hurry.
Baron waited for a few days, but before Jessie could call him to return the money, he heard that HS
Company was going to hold a press conference this morning. He estimated that Lily hade out of
the police station, so he came.
Hearing Baron''s side of story, Lily bes even more anxious.
Hasn''t Little Fairy arranged her uncle and aunt to travel abroad? Then who was in the hospital?
Has something happened to Chloe or Chandler?
Lily''s mind is racing when the phone gets through. Chloe''s voicees, "Hello?"
"Chloe, it''s me." Lily asks anxiously, "Where are you? Are you with Chandler? Are you all right?"
Chloe says, "Lily, we''re fine, but Jessie is not."
"Isn''t she with you now?"
"No." Chloe''s voice is filled with exhaustion, "Where are you, Lily? Let me go over. Too many things
happened. I don''t know where to start on the phone."
Lily says, "No, I''m working at thepany. I''ll be back soon."
...
After the call, Lily returns the phone to Baron and uses herputer to make a transfer.
Soon, five hundred thousand is transferred to Baron''s ount.
Lily thanks him, "Thank you, Mr. Smollett. Thank you for lending her the money that day at the
hospital."
"It''s nothing. Besides, didn''t you just return the money to me?" Baron shakes her hand and says,
"Since President Lily is busy, I''ll leave first."
"I''ll walk you out."
"President Lily, thank you, but you don''t have to. You''re busy."
Seeing Baron leave alone, Lily no longer insists and goes back to look for her phone.
She rummages through the entire office but can''t find it.
Damn it!
Where can the phone be?
Lily is confused. She picks up her coat and puts it on.
She hurriedly walks out and goes to the office next door to look for E, "I can''t find my phone. Help me
find it and give it to me tomorrow morning. I have to go!"
