Chapter 451: Lovestruck
Chapter 451: Lovestruck
After Lily walked out of the CEO’s office on the third floor, the smile never left her face, and her chubby cheeks looked even more adorable.
She went to the design department to greet Andrea, and the two headed together to The Lawrence Estate.
When the ride-hailing car stopped at the estate entrance, Lily saw a Rolls Royce brush past her, and through the half-open window, she caught sight of a pair of phoenix eyes and a man’s thick eyebrows.
It was Finnian Lawrence.
"Manager Sloan, should we go straight in?" Andrea’s voice pulled her back from her daydreaming starry eyes.
"Hold on a minute, let me ask."
An awkward expression briefly flashed across Lily’s face; it was really not glorious to be caught daydreaming in front of a new employee.
She was about to contact someone for assistance when an elderly man appeared in front of her.
"Manager Sloan, Miss Andrea, sorry to keep you waiting."
Lily recognized him as the old man who had silently followed Finnian last time.
The elder was kind and courteous, without making the two feel neglected in the slightest.
"We just arrived." Lily replied with a smile, her eyes curving.
"I am the butler of the estate, you can call me Butler King. I’ll take you to the old master’s study now; the young master is also there." Butler King spoke with a slight Beijing accent, which sounded very interesting.
The path from the front hall to the backyard was not too far nor too close, taking about seven or eight minutes to walk.
When they arrived, Elder Lawrence and the young master were enjoying fragrances.
Following Nora Northwood’s instructions, Lily presented the formula to the old master, not expecting that the old master would be lazy enough to hand over everything to his grandson!
Finnian Lawrence skimmed through a few pages and then started discussing the theoretical analysis of fragrances with Andrea.
Lily, completely bored, waited on the side, occasionally stealing glances at Finnian for a visual feast.
He and Andrea always maintained a proper distance, with a modest and polite demeanor, hard not to be attracted to.
Unfortunately, Lily couldn’t really understand what they were discussing, or she would have liked to chime in.
Perhaps her gaze was too intense, causing Finnian to look over, "Manager Sloan, are you also interested in spices?"
Lily instantly straightened her posture, quickly waving her hands, "No, no, I’m just listening casually."
His gaze could give a sense of being valued.
Lily felt a momentary panic inside, then redirected her attention elsewhere.
She thought, it must be because she hadn’t seen a handsome man for too long, that’s why she was swooning over someone she hadn’t even met a few times. With this thought, she decided she would take Nora Northwood to the bar tonight to find some young fresh faces!
So, she sent a message in their small group chat saying: "Let’s go to DP for drinks tonight, I want to have a romantic encounter!"
She even added a little "no return without getting drunk" emoji at the end.
DP was a bar with an amazing ambience, not as noisy as a disco, but more like a mysterious garden set in the outskirts.
Annie had the most relaxed job and was the first to reply in the group: "I second that."
Next was Megan Underwood: "I’ve got a date tomorrow, not going to join you young folks in the fun."
Yvonne Winslow said: "Count me in."
Only Nora Northwood hadn’t responded, so Lily gave her the triple-at mention.
When she saw the message, she decisively replied with "I’m in."
The dual pressures of emotions and work were suffocating her, and she also wanted to find a chance to relax. Here it was, an opportunity delivered to her, how could she not go?
And so, they agreed to head straight to DP after work.
