Chapter 838: Chapter 841: Heartache for Aidan Lucas (Extra 3)
Lily pretended not to notice Benjamin Lucas IX’s wary gaze, and obediently replied, “I understand, Mr. Lucas’s assistant. Rest assured, I will work hard.”
It looks like the matters at the Gray family’s side can only be remotely directed for the ti being.
During this ti, I need to stay here and build up Ethan Wilson’s good favor.
“Mhm, work hard,” Benjamin Lucas IX said coldly, and added, “And, call Mr. Lucas.”
A twitch crossed Lily’s forehead, Mr. Lucas…
Well, if that’s what he prefers.
...
“Alright, Mr. Lucas.”
Lily nodded obediently and quickly imrsed herself in work.

Lily spent the whole afternoon at the top floor of Bastion and realized that things were not quite as she had expected.
It was her first day on the job, and after only half a day at the company, she was as tired as a dog.
The anticipated possibility of eting Ethan Wilson alone did not happen at all.
Instead, she was kept in the office by Benjamin Lucas IX, non-stop sorting and printing so docunts he had already reviewed.
On her very first day of work, she witnessed Ethan Wilson’s workaholic nature.
In the past, he wasn’t neglectful of his duties, but at least he knew moderation.
Back then, with her supervising him, Ethan Wilson would eat on ti, follow a regular schedule for coming and going from work, and wouldn’t overwork himself.
But now, he worked without restraint, and it was already past seven o’clock, yet he was still working overti.
If the boss works overti, Benjamin Lucas IX, as the CEO’s Special Assistant, naturally had to do overti too, and Lily, as his personal assistant, certainly couldn’t leave either.
It wasn’t until eight o’clock in the evening that Benjamin Lucas IX let her go first.
And Benjamin Lucas IX seed to be staying on, continuing to accompany Ethan Wilson.
Lily suddenly felt a pang of heartache.
The Ethan Wilson of the past, even when busy with work, would try to co ho early in the evening because he said, he knew soone was always waiting for him at ho.
But now, it’s past eight, and he hadn’t left yet.
If this goes on, his health will surely suffer in the long run.
She frowned slightly, wanting to stay and keep him company.
But Benjamin Lucas IX insisted that she leave first, so Lily had no choice but to go.

However, she had just returned to the hotel and was getting ready for bed after taking a shower when her cell phone rang.
“What, go there now?”
On the other end of the phone, Benjamin Lucas IX’s impatient voice ca through, “Yes, co right now. I’ll send you the address, and you have your driver’s license, rember to bring it.”
“I do,” Lily deliberately ignored Benjamin Lucas IX’s attitude, her tone as usual, “Mr. Lucas, wait for , I’ll be right there.”
After hanging up, she quickly climbed out of bed, changed her clothes, grabbed her bag, and left.
It was now past eleven o’clock in the evening, and there were fewer cars on the road.
Lily waited for a while, hailed a cab, gave the address, and leaned back in the back seat to ponder how she would act when she saw Ethan Wilson himself.
Yes, she was going to see Ethan Wilson.
The call from Benjamin Lucas IX was for her to go and drive for Ethan Wilson.
It sounded like there was so problem with the driver, and Ethan Wilson seed to be drunk, currently unable to drive, so Lily was sent over on short notice.
At that mont, Lily was solely worried about Ethan Wilson and completely forgot who he was.
Even if he were truly drunk, he had plenty of people to order around.
There was truly no need for Benjamin Lucas IX to send her, a newcor who just joined the job, over to him.
But Lily, anxious with concern, didn’t think too much and, upon reaching the discreetly luxurious club’s entrance, got off and called Benjamin Lucas IX.
“Hello, Mr. Lucas, I’ve arrived.”
“If you’re here, co to the parking lot. It’s in the alley opposite the club,” he said.
Lily, not suspecting anything, hung up the phone and ran towards the alley across from the club.
