Chapter 836: Chapter 839: For Aidan Lucas, Keep Going! (1 Extra Chapter)
After returning to the hotel from the dical center, Lily finally had ti to deal with her personal emotional issues.
She took out her cell phone, thought of various ways to start the conversation, and was about to call Aidan Lucas’s assistant when the phone rang.
The number displayed on the incoming call was precisely the one Aidan Lucas had given her.
Lily imdiately answered the phone.
“Hello, how are you?” she deliberately softened her tone, wanting to make a good impression on the caller.
“Yes, this is Benjamin Lucas IX, Mr. Cooper’s assistant. Since Mr. Cooper gave you my number last night, I have been waiting for Miss Redington’s call.”
...
The voice that ca through the phone was serious, with a touch of sternness and impatience.
Benjamin Lucas IX…
Lily rembered the Benjamin Lucas IX she had t four years ago.
She rembered him as an older man, and at that ti she had in her possession information from Madam Lucas, knowing that he was very fond of his youngest son, even jokingly saying that in the future, she would let his youngest son and Ben Lucas be friends.
She never expected that in the blink of an eye, so much had changed.
Not only had she changed her identity, but the original Benjamin Lucas IX had also changed roles.
Lily at this mont did not know that this Benjamin Lucas IX was actually soone she had already t.
It was the tall man who wore gold-frad glasses at the interview site that day, who looked refined and steady, yet oddly enough liked to swear.
“I’m sorry, Sir, I had sothing co up this morning, so I haven’t been able to find the ti to call you. Sorry for making you wait so long,” Lily said, although she apologized verbally, she felt it a bit strange.
She was the one looking for a job, logically, he should be the one leisurely waiting for her to make the call.
How co now, it seed reversed, with him proactively calling to urge her instead?
However, she didn’t have ti to ponder further, as to get more opportunities to interact with Aidan Lucas, she didn’t mind flattering him a bit more.
Benjamin Lucas IX was neither warm nor cold to her attitude, he responded with a “Hmm,” then went straight to explaining his purpose.
“Mr. Lucas ntioned you are in urgent need of a job, and I happen to have a position that would suit you. If you’re willing, co to the Bastion Group’s reception at two o’clock in the afternoon today and report my na, telling them you’ve co to attend an interview,” he said.
“Okay, I have no problem,” Lily imdiately agreed to such a good opportunity.
After hanging up the phone, she quickly changed into a professional outfit.
A white suit jacket paired with a light pink knitted top, and below, a white skirt that matched the jacket.
The length of the skirt was just a bit above the knees, but cleverly, there was a small slit on the side.
She neatly combed her hair, tucking the long strands at her temples behind her ears, making her suddenly look less coquettish and more innocently well-behaved.
Her naturally slightly upturned peach blossom eyes were deliberately accentuated with eyeliner, imdiately softening the shape of her eyes.
Blinking in the mirror, her eyes appeared sparkling, round, and completely innocent.
After applying a pink-toned lip color, her cherry lips looked even more lush and tender, tempting enough to bite into.
“Okay, Lily, cheer up!” All dressed up and standing in front of the mirror, she said to herself.
“Rember your mission… Last night was too rash and nearly scared Aidan Lucas away. From today onwards, no more of that. Be good to him, make it up to him. Even if he doesn’t love you anymore, you have to be doubly good to him… Rember, this is what you owe him!”
*
Lily arrived at Bastion Group twenty minutes ahead of the scheduled ti.
She verified her identity at the front desk and filled out the paperwork, and after a while, she was taken upstairs.
And there, she finally t her interviewer—the CEO’s Special Assistant, Benjamin Lucas IX.
