Chapter 797: Chapter 800: Chasing Husband is the Most Important (Additional 2)

Once out of the building, Witherspoon’s assistant greeted her.

“Miss, how did it go? You were up there for a while. Did you settle everything with Bastion’s CEO?”

Only after hearing Witherspoon’s assistant’s question did Lily remember that she had forgotten all about her intended business.

Right, she was a Bastion shareholder and had gone up there to conduct official business.

But unexpectedly encountering Aidan Lucas had led her to completely toss aside those intentions.

This was indeed a case of a handsome man leading one astray!

...

She sighed. She had been so focused on how to catch his attention, she had forgotten about her original purpose.

Forget it, she hadn’t thought that she would run into Aidan Lucas as soon as she returned to Eastonia.

Looking at his demeanor towards her, he wasn’t as warm as in the past, but he didn’t seem to harbor any obvious resentment or hatred either.

Perhaps with some effort, she could break down the barriers between them?

Right, nothing is more important than getting your husband back!

Making up her mind, Lily decided to extend her stay in Eastonia.

“Let’s go, we should go back now. Circumstances have changed, and we may need to revise our plans.”

Lily figured that to get close to Aidan Lucas, she might need to take a crash course in acting to improve herself.

Later that day, in the Bastion Group headquarters…

After a day of auditions, Director Cooper received a notification from Benjamin Lucas IX; Mr. Lucas wanted to meet him.

“Little Cooper, good luck.”

The other colleagues cast pitiful glances at Director Cooper.

Director Cooper went up to the roof nervously, stopping outside the door to take a deep breath.

For employees at their level, without any significant mistakes or significant achievements, it was rare to garner one-on-one meetings with Mr. Cooper.

Now that Mr. Cooper had suddenly asked to see him, Director Cooper knew that without any recent achievements, he must have inadvertently caused some trouble.

He felt anxious and unsure, his heart pounding wildly as he knocked on the office door.

…

Ten minutes later, Director Cooper came out of the CEO’s office, looking relieved.

Although he was trying hard to conceal his feelings, the joy in his eyes was impossible to hide.

Seeing him go up, looking like he was facing a death sentence and then come down, full of life, colleagues flocked around him to investigate.

But Director Cooper kept things under wraps, even after a long fight-no information leaked.

At the top floor office, after Director Cooper left, Benjamin Lucas IX couldn’t help but voice his puzzling question.

He looked at Mr. Lucas, who was going through some documents, hesitated for a moment, and finally asked:-

“Mr. Lucas, that woman named Alice, do you really intend to support her? We can only confirm her phone number and name, all other information remains unverified. Director Cooper just said that he ran into her outside the building. I think, someone with such a dubious background…”

Before Benjamin finished speaking, he felt the temperature around him drop suddenly.

Unconsciously, he prefaced, looking at Mr. Lucas.

Those dark, cold, almond-shaped eyes were fixed on him without moving.

In those brooding black pupils lay an indescribable chill.

Bearing the brunt of such cold, deep eyes that resembled a black hole, fear began to creep into Benjamin’s feet.

The bloodthirsty and ruthless aura radiating from those captivating black eyes almost made him feel suffocated.

Aidan Lucas looked at him and said coldly, “Benjamin, when your father worked here, he never spoke out of turn like you.”

“Mr. Lucas, you’re right. I overstepped my boundary.”

Benjamin lowered his head, regret flashing in his eyes behind his gold-framed glasses.

Why couldn’t he change his habit of talking too much!

His little brother was indeed right, trouble truly starts from one’s mouth. He feared that if this continues, Mr. Lucas might end up getting sick of him one day!
