Chapter 5 CEO’s office
Consequently, Charlie merely cast a brief glance in her direction before averting his eyes.
Lily:"? ??"
He didn’t see her?
But Charlie definitely noticed her.
With his beautiful blue eyes...
Charlie entered the office, and as a few executives set aside their materials and departed, James retrieved his computer from his bag.
James opened a document on the computer.
“Mr Charlie, all the information of Lily and her recent itinerary.”
Charlie read the document carefully, fear of missing any details，Royal Hotel room 2305,hotel restaurant,coffee shop, Hospital...
“Why will she go to hospital，is she unwell？” Charlie’s voice sounds worried.
“No,is her...”
“Jeez, she is actually the secretary of the company.”
“Well, graduated in the best uni in City.，Won a scholarship for three consecutive years，First Prize in National Computer Competition...”
Then，his eyes focused on the sentence carefully：she was drugged on the meeting，the suspect is still under investigation.
Charlie's expression became more and more solemn.
Charlie was shocked.
Obviously,she is not doing that job and is also a victim, actually.
Did he really misunderstand her?
At this moment, the phone started ring.
“Hey my dear Charlie,my sweetheart, long time no see and how’s it going?”
“Granny,yeah i am doing good，thank you. Working hard, doing exercise...”
“Oh my dear, i know you returned home yesterday，when will you come to see me with your pretty fiancée，that cute girl from FES group？”
“Granny，sorry the signal is not very good here，so talk to you later.”
Charlie hung up the phone nervously.
His assistant James tried hard to hide his smile, after all, it was a bit inappropriate in this situation.
The only source of stress for this "Alpha male" stems from his grandmother's constant reminders. She frequently emphasizes her final wish before departing to heaven – the desire to witness Charlie having a baby girl. However, Charlie has remained a bachelor for years.
When the news spread about a gossip between the heir of REN and the eldest daughter of FES, his grandmother insisted on turning this gossip into reality, adding an extra layer of unease for Charlie.
He had been trying to avoid this problem and had tried to prevaricate it, but he still underestimated grandma's execution ability and desire.
To make matters more complicated, the FES eldest daughter shares a similar attitude with Charlie's grandmother. She looks to fall for Charlie or fall for something from Charlie, so she has developed a close relationship with Charlie's grandma. They went as far as arranging an informal engagement without Charlie's consent. It appears that their impending family union enjoys widespread support, exacerbating Charlie's predicament.
Besides Charlie.
“So，James, have you find someone to sign the contract？I hope you've finished that.”
“Sure,Mr. Charlie.I’ve found Miss Smith to sign the contract，Do you need me to notify her to come to your office now?”
“Yeah，as soon as possible.”
Meanwhile,Lily received the message that let her go to the CEO’s Office.
Her heart beats fast.
It’s not a big deal.
Although she will leave this company soon, she doesn’t need to be afraid of anything.
But she still felt a little nervous.
In the wake of their recent intimate encounter, vivid memories flooded her mind. Closing her eyes, she could easily recollect various details—the sensation of skin against skin, the rhythmic breaths lingering in the air, and other more profound aspects. These memories left her feeling somewhat self-conscious.
Another reason is easier.
Because she never wondered if the man in the hotel was her boss who control the whole company, a powerful, clever, cold man.
Besides that day, everything Lily knew about Charlie was still based on rumors from colleagues and Wikipedia.
She was wondering what her first words would be after meeting him. Should she apologize for her absence from the annual meeting, or directly mention the embarrassing one-night stand?
Whatever，she still needs to face everything by herself.
She could go through that, she thought.
So she took a deep breath, and pushed the door of the CEO’s office.
