Tristan Grayson suddenly looked up and asked in a cold voice, "Lily Shaw, how long have you been working for ?"
Lily Shaw was taken aback for a mont before she thought it over carefully. "It’s been a little over three years, ever since I graduated from college."
"Over three years? That long... I suppose it’s ti for a change of environnt."
"Tristan... w-what do you an?" Lily Shaw’s heart sank as she heard his words, and she asked anxiously.
"It’s nothing complicated. I just think you’d be a good fit working for Aiden Avery."
"Tristan, did I do sothing wrong? Why are you making go work for Aiden Avery?"
"It’s precisely because you’re so capable that I want you to go work for Aiden Avery. And that’s final." ’If I don’t send one of my own to keep an eye on Aiden, sooner or later, he’s going to steal away my son and my woman.’
"..." Lily Shaw felt like crying but had no tears. She could only obey. ’Besides obeying, could I dare to say no? Of course not. Even my own brilliant brother has to obey Tristan’s commands, let alone ?’
Sigh...
「Half an hour later.」
Aiden Avery pushed open the door and ca in, walking straight to the sofa to sit down. "Tristan Grayson, what was so urgent you had to see right away?"
Tristan Grayson raised a handso eyebrow. "I’m giving you a personal secretary."
"? A secretary? It’s not like I’m short on secretaries." ’So he dragged here in such a hurry just to give a secretary?’
"But this is one secretary you have to accept."
Aiden Avery’s interest was piqued. "Oh? And what kind of secretary do I *have* to accept?"
"Weren’t you always envious of my two little sidekicks from the Shaw family? Now I’m giving you Lily Shaw!"
"..." Listening to Tristan’s words, Lily Shaw felt her brow darken. ’What does he an, "little sidekicks"? And , can I just be given away like so object?’
’Tristan really is just like my brother said—a cold-hearted, ungrateful bastard.’
"Lily Shaw, huh? You’re really willing to part with this little firecracker?" Aiden Avery was indeed quite fond of Lily Shaw; the girl was sharp-tongued and highly efficient. But as much as he liked Lily, he was an even bigger fan of Ian Shaw. Ian was obviously more decisive and efficient than his sister...
"I won’t have much use for her anymore, so she’s a perfect fit for you." ’The real reason he’d kept Lily Shaw around was because it was convenient for her to help him take care of Maggie Monroe.’
’And now, there was no longer a need for that...’
「Inside the hospital.」
"Miss Monroe, you should eat a little sothing." Mrs. Lane placed the al on the table beside the hospital bed, coaxing her patiently.
"I’m not eating. I have no appetite." ’What’s the point? A dying person has no appetite. I’m going to die whether I eat or not.’
"Miss Monroe, I know you’re feeling terrible, but how can you get better if you don’t eat?"
Maggie Monroe turned her head away, tears streaming down her cheeks. She hadn’t seen Tristan once since she’d woken up. ’The marriage talk must have been a lie to trick .’
"Miss Monroe..."
Just as Mrs. Lane was about to say more, Maggie Monroe suddenly wiped her tears and spoke. "Mrs. Lane, call Tristan right now. Tell him I won’t eat until I see him." ’No matter what, I have to marry Tristan before I die.’
’I can’t leave this world with regrets. I can’t just let myself die like this.’
"Alright, I’ll call Young Master Grayson right away."
