The hidden billionaire heiress (Lyra Melvin) novel Chapter 39

Having finished her lunch in the cafeteria, Lyra went back to her office and turn on her work mode again.

She only had a speculation about the matter of the Matthews family, but there was no substantial evidence, and neither did she actually care.

But if Charlotte took the initiative to mess with her, then it would be different.

Halfway through the afternoon, Cody called.

What came to Lyra's ear was a sweet boyish voice, "Lyra, are you free tonight?"

Lyra was tapping the keyboard, her tone flat, "Nope."

Cody pouted and continued anyway, "I have to go to the banquet at the Matthews' tonight. I've been working for seven days in a row, so you have to give me a break, right?"

"Granted."

Not expecting her to agree so readily, Cody tentatively asked again, "And may I have the pleasure to invite Miss Carroll to be my date for the evening?"

Lyra pursed her lips, her starry eyes flickering, thinking over something.

A while later, she replied, "Ok."

With one brief word, Lyra hung up the phone.

Cody on the other end of the phone silently lamented that the Queen was so cold and emotionless!

Lyra hadn't planned to go, but since Cody mentioned it, she might as well stop by to join in the fun.

30 minutes later, Kellie came to her office and placed a delicate gift box on Lyra's desk.

"Director, this was just delivered. It's for you,"

"Got it, you can leave now."

When Kellie was gone, Lyra got up and opened the gift box.

It was an evening dress. The style is quite in line with her aesthetics. Cody that boy really made a full preparation for this.

She shook her head in amusement, took a few more glance at the dress before putting it back and went back to work.

As soon as the end of the day came, most of the employees started to pack up and prepared to leave. Lyra told those who like to work overtime to go back early as well. When almost everyone in the company had left, she took the elevator to get down.

In front of the Angle Group Tower, Cody was waiting by a new silver-gray Maybach.

When he saw Lyra come out, he took a look at her.

Just a glance, he couldn't move his eyes away anymore.

She was simply stunning in that snow-white dress, who could even outshine many popular movie stars.

Unfortunately, Lyra didn't really care to be a star.

Cody tsked and smiled as he trotted over, stretching out his arm in a gentlemanly way, "My queen, it is my greatest honor to join you at the banquet."

Lyra snickered and reached out to give him a pop on the head, "Knock it off."

Cody covered his head, pouting, "I'm telling the truth."

As Lyra walked towards the car, Cody hurried to open the door for her, meanwhile continuing with his compliment, "Lyra, you have such a good taste. This dress is amazing."

Lyra paused in her tracks.

Looking at him suspiciously, she asked, "Didn't you pick this for me and send it over?"

Cody was confused and also a little embarrassed, "I was going to pick a dress for you personally, but I was on set all afternoon and so busy that I forgot."

Lyra's expression became serious.

She remembered that she didn't see the name of the sender on the box this afternoon. Since she and Cody had talked on the phone before that, she assumed it was from this kid and didn't care too much.

Now things had become interesting!

Cody thought she was angry with him so asked weakly, "Lyra, what's wrong?"
