A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure novel Chapter 57

Less than half an hour, the meeting is over.

Lily doesn’t make comments, just listens quietly, but when she is going out, Julian stops her.

"Lily, don’t handle other things when you are working." Julian looks displeased, "The Smith Group is paying you for work. It's not appropriate for you to do other things."

No matter what Lily says, she continues, "If Mr. Louis needs you, please tell me in advance. There are other translators in the department, and some jobs need to be handed over to others."

Lily nods, and looks calm, "Yes."

"Lily, are you dissatisfied with my arrangement?" Julian says sternly. Now she is much more arrogant than when she faced everyone just now, "I can be the acting minister, indicating that I will be the minister."

"I'm not dissatisfied. You are better than me, and I should congratulate you for becoming the minister." Lily says. She has no interest in this position. It was Leon who asked her to take the position, so she agreed.

But she didn't expect the minister to have such an accident.

Julian is obviously very satisfied with her answer. She slightly says complacently, "Even if the minister doesn’t have accident today, after he goes to New York, this position is still mine."

"I'm not like you. You are alone." She pats Lily on the shoulder and smiles, "I value the talent. As long as you don't go against me, and respect me, I will cultivate you."

"Thank you, Miss Julian." Lily smiles back, "Then I go back to work."

Lily has other things to deal with. She doesn’t have time to rest in the afternoon and buries herself into work. Later Julian hands over several documents to her and she is busy until six in the evening.

Jessie has been waiting downstairs for a long time.

When she sees Lily rubbing her shoulders out of the elevator, she runs over, "Don’t you get off work at five o'clock. Why are you later than me today?"

"There are lots of things to deal with today." Lily feels tired for sitting at the desk for a whole afternoon. She takes over Jessie’s water and drinks half.

"What about your minister? Is he really dead?"

"Yes, he has an acute myocardial infarction." Lily's tone is a little heavy.

She has asked David in the afternoon, and the doctor diagnosed that Leon stayed up all night to work in a row, so he has such an incident.

"It's a pity." Jessie regrets, "I met your minister several times when I took the elevator. He is very kind and I also heard that he always protected his subordinates. I always think that how good it is if I learn translation, then I can work with him."

Lily feels sour.

After she enters the translation department of the Smith Group, she learned a lot from the minister. Because of this, she would not refuse any requirement Leon proposed.

How kind he was! But he left so suddenly. Lily heard that his daughter is only twelve years old. How desperate his wife and daughter would be if they get the news?

"Lily, are you okay?" Jessie asks with concern when Lily's eyes are red.

"I'm fine. Let's go shopping. There is no food at home."

When they buy the food, they go home and cook. When they finish dinner, it’s already nine o'clock. Jessie has homework to do, so when she finishes washing the dishes, she goes back to the room. Lily also returns to the room.

Lily checks the mails after taking the shower.

Her mind is in a mess.

She thinks of a lot of things, the loopholes in the contract, the conversation with Susan at the restaurant at noon, and the unexpected death of the minister. She always feels something is wrong.

Is Leon’s death really an accident?

She feels dizzy, but some buzzes wake her up.

Lily takes the phone and sees who calls her.
