Chapter 141
After that, I sensed a surge of murderous intent from Mary. "You want a female assistant?"
I quickly denied, "No, no, no. I was just kidding."
'Tell my girlfriend that I want a female assistant? Isn't that asking for trouble?' I thought.
The invisible pressure disappeared as I denied it.
Mary flipped her hair. "Am I not worthy of being your assistant?"
She was jealous.
I lifted her up. "That would be great. I couldn't be more delighted if you could be my assistant."
"Exaggeration."
Although she said that, her face was full of smiles. "When I'm free, I'll come to help you out."
What else could I say?
Apart from kissing her passionately, what else could I do?
Just as we were making out, my phone rang. I took it out and saw that it was a call from Lily.
Why was she calling me at this time?
I answered the phone. "Hello, Ms. Wilson!"
"John, you know what time is it? Aren't you coming back to the company yet? Are you planning to live at Walker Company?"
"Ms. Wilson, I..."
"Look. If you don't show up before five o'clock, you don't have to come back."
I felt a bit embarrassed. Before I could speak, Mary spoke up, "Ms. Wilson, I'm Mary from Walker Company. We talked last time. John is currently discussing project matters with me."
There was a brief silence on the phone, and then Lily's apologetic voice came through. "Well, is that so? Ms. Walker, please don't be angry. I urgently needed John back because the boss has something to announce later."
I shook my head. It must be an excuse. If the boss wanted to announce something, what would those people who were on business trips outside do?
Should they rush back?
"That's your company's business, none of my business. And what's so urgent that you can't wait until tomorrow when John's back at work?"
I secretly gave Mary a thumbs-up.
She smiled and continued, "That's it. John won't be going back today."
After saying that, she hung up the phone.
I breathed a sigh of relief, feeling quite pleased. I loved to see Lily to be troubled.
"Your leader seems to be targeting you."
I sighed, "It's normal as she is superior than me in the company."
Just as Mary was about to speak, my phone rang again.
Damn it! When would it end?
Was it Lily calling again?
I felt annoyed.
I checked the phone, and it was actually a call from George. I made a hushing gesture to Mary and answered the phone. "Hello, George!"
"John, are you busy?"
George's hearty laughter came through the phone.
"I'm free for now."
"Is your injury getting better?"
"Yeah."
"Alright. There's a party tonight. Do you want to come?"
I glanced at Mary and asked, "Is Edward going too?"
"Edward is busy tonight. Just come. Most of the guests are executives of Sevan, and there will be white and red wine."
"Just go!"
Before I could respond, Mary whispered.
I nodded. "Okay. When exactly?"
"After ten in the evening at the Dynasty Club!"
"So late?"
"In the first half, we need to discuss some things, which is not convenient for outsiders to be present." George was a candid man, who didn't have many bad intentions toward friends. If he said that, it must be true. Otherwise, he would have brought me along.
"Alright. I'll come later."
"Great. We'll talk about it later."
After hanging up the phone, I thought, 'Will Mr. Williams from Sevan's Cellars be there too?'
It would be great if he were.
Mary said, "George is a good person, very loyal to his friends. My brother speaks highly of him, and he likes to mentor younger generations."
I nodded. "George is a good guy. He's been very kind to me and has mentored me a lot."
"That's a good thing. Now that you're starting your own business, it's important to build networks and meet as many people as possible."
She touched my left hand. "But remember, don't drink too much."
She knew that it was impossible not to drink at such events. Otherwise, there was no point in going there.
We wouldn't just stand there like a wooden stake.
"Let's go downstairs and buy some hangover medicine, so you won't get drunk tonight."
"Is it so effective?"
She said, "Every time my brother attends a gathering, he takes hangover medicine beforehand."
I suddenly realized how it worked.
After going downstairs, she bought me some hangover medicine, and then said, "I have guests at home tonight, so I can't have dinner with you."
I said, "Oh, I thought we could go out for a big meal tonight."
"I'm sorry. I originally planned to spend the day with you, but my mom specifically instructed me that."
She looked apologetic.
She felt guilty, and so did I.
I kissed her on the forehead. "It's okay, there's always tomorrow. As long as you want, you can come see me anytime."
She kissed me back, feeling touched. "Then I'm leaving."
I watched her leave, and instead of going back to the company, I took a taxi home. On the way back, Rita messaged me asking if I had finished work and not to forget to take care of my wound.
I replied, [I have an essential event tonight, so I won't go.]
Rita quickly responded, [Remember to change the bandage yourself. Oh, by the way, the little girl asked when her daddy would come to see her!]
I thought for a moment. [I'll go after work tomorrow.]
Then, Lily also sent me a short message. [John, you're doomed!]
I touched my nose. Lily always threatened me like that. I ignored her and clicked my chat interface with Grace. [Why haven't you come back yet? Are you coming to the party tonight?]
[I'm coming, of course. I've already reserved a seat, so make sure you dress up nicely.]
She replied with a shy expression. [Do you want me to dress up innocent or sexy?]
[I prefer innocent style.]
[You stingy man.]
Whatever she thought, I never thought of myself as generous, especially when it came to women.
Then Lucy texted me. [I've submitted the documents to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau. The company is registered and named Dance Across the City Limited Company!]
Dance Across the City. What a great name!
It was grand, high-end, and rhythmic.
[Thank you for your hard work,] I replied.
She replied, [You're welcome. It's what I should do. I'll supervise tomorrow.]
With Lucy around, I didn't have to worry too much because she wanted the company to succeed even more than I did.
But what Lillian said was making me anxious. She hadn't given me a definite answer yet. If things didn't work out, I would have to start with Mya.
I really liked to be with her!
She was sweet, with a hint of milk fragrance, and a good temperament.
Just thinking about what happened that day turned me on.
As I was reminiscing, a sudden ringing of my phone disrupted my thoughts.
I picked up the phone and saw that it was a call from Lillian. I was ecstatic. I just wanted to talk with her. Could it be that she had settled things with her aunt?
I quickly answered the phone. Before I could speak, Lillian's voice came through, boasting. "John, I've made it for you. How are you going to thank me?"
