A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure

Chapter 440: Jealous My Ass!

Louis replies, "Ms. Lily, I order lunch for Mr. Smith every day, and his taste has never changed."

"I don't care what he eats!" says Lily.

"I beg your pardon?" Louis asks.

After a long while, Lily replies, "Mr. Smith has a problem. He is too old to pick up young girls, isn't he?"

Pick up girls?

Louis frowns slightly. He gets another message from Lily before he can reply.

"Best Taste Entertainment is not his own property. How could he use his power and give the best

resources to a starlet?"

"He is so domineering. Did he even care about other senior executives' opinions?"

Louis reads the message in shock and then he can't help but laugh. He can only imagine how angry

she is when she types.

If she hasn't designated that girl to be the celebrity endorsement, he wouldn't have to be so NôvelDrama.Org © content.

domineering.

Besides, this is a great loss for him.

After pondering for a while, Louis replies, "Really? Why don't I know? I heard that the director liked that

starlet and asked for her to be the female lead specifically."

Lily texts back, "I don't believe someone would want that starlet to be the female lead of such a big-

budget movie! That starlet's agent said that she also got three endorsements for luxury brands."

"From my point of view, Mr. Smith was using the director's words as an excuse, and he was the one

behind all these decisions. I can't believe the gossip is so rampant that even HS Company knows

about it."

Louis squints his eyes slightly.

He asked David to handle all these matters before, and he hasn't asked since because he trusts David.

He doesn't expect that there's a spy in the company.

Louis replies, "Ms. Lily, these are definitely fake news. This information is definitely fake. Based on my

understanding of Mr. Smith, he won't be interested in that kind of girl."

"If you knew him so well, why didn't you know that he was interested in one of your classmates?"

Louis pauses for a while and continues typing, "Ms. Lily, you are so concerned about this gossip. Are

you jealous to see Mr. Smith with other women?"

Lily replied almost instantly, "Jealous my ass! We already broke up and I can't care less about that old

man!"

"I'm concerned because I don't want that starlet and Mr. Smith to get into a fight during the

endorsement period and affect our product."

"Enough about them. I still have a lot of things to do. Talk to you later!"

She keeps sending messages non-stop and Louis can't help but laugh. She is so bad at hiding her

feelings. She even wailed to ask for oranges and took the two baskets of oranges home.

Louis signed. He is only five years older than her, but she calls him an old man all the time.

The other senior executives of the Merci Company are complaining about Louis, but he is on his phone

with his legs crossed and doesn't seem to listen, so they get even angrier.

Someone raises his voice to get Louis' attention, "Mr. Smith, are you listening?"

"There's no need to be so loud. I heard everything you guys just said." Louis puts away his phone and

raises his eyebrows slightly. He says calmly, "I agreed to lend HS Company a group of people from the

Smith Group."

The executive is not satisfied with his answer, "Mr. Smith, we told you that Merci Company had a bet

with HS. You not only have our new girl signed to HS, but you also lend them a team from the Smith

Group. What are you trying to do?"

Another executive seconds, "That's right, Merci Company is also your company and losing the bet will

not benefit you either. You can find an excuse and get that team from the Smith Group back from HS

Company."

Louis gently taps his finger on the table and sneers, "Do you think HS Company is stupid? Do you think

they would sign a Bet-on Agreement with you just because you said a few words to them?"

Several executives' faces turn gray.

Louis continues, "The HS Company was not doing well last year, but they bought a perfume formula

from a perfumer at a high price, and they changed the leader of the HS Company this year."

"Since HS Company dares to bet with you, they must have assessed the risks. HS Company borrows

people from the Smith Group and pays us a good price, and they would share profits from the new

product with the Smith Group. Why shouldn't I agree to such a good deal?"

"No matter how capable the HS Company is, as long as their sale doesn't reach that number, they will

lose." The executive of Merci Company says, "At that time, we can find someone to interfere secretly."

Louis shakes his head and mocks his foolishness. "You have the means, but they also have ways to

deal with you. If your method of making money is deception, then I really have nothing to say."

The executive can't take his sarcasm anymore, "Mr. Smith, this is also your company."

"Didn't you pay attention to the board's movements?" Louis glances at the executives and says

indifferently, "Star City Media is the largest shareholder of Merci Company, and I only have one share."

The executives of Merci Company are dumbfounded, they can't believe what they are hearing.

Louis, who has been bearing with their chatting for over an hour, is already tired of it. He pushes aside

his chair and stands up. "Since the Smith Group is not the biggest shareholder of Merci Company,

Merci Company has no right to interfere with any cooperation between the Smith Group and HS

Company. You can go to the Star City Media if you have any problems."

He leaves the room after saying it.

David happens to deliver the documents. Seeing Louis return, he asks, "Mr. Smith, is the meeting

over?"

"Yes." Louis thinks of something and he turns to David and looks at him deeply, "Did you tell anyone

about the things I told you to do?"

David shakes his head firmly, "No, unless you grant permission. Mr. Smith, what happened?"

"It's fine," Louis replies casually.

David has worked with him for so many years, and he knows him well and trusted him.

Thinking back to those messages Lily sent him, Louis assumes that person must be someone close to

him to know so much about their planning.

He wants to find out who that person is.

Recently, Lily finds out that her belly is becoming more and more obvious. Maybe the babies are

behaving so well, she does feel the kicks as much.

She is afraid that it would be too obvious if she wears her old clothes, so she buys some loose clothes.

Fortunately, she rarely wears suits after she starts working at the HS Company. Most of the time, she

wears casual clothes, so nobody gets suspicious in the company.

Lily gets up early in the morning. She prepares a pot of pork rib soup and braised pig trotter and takes

them to the company. She is going to have Chandler over at noon.

When she arrives at the company, she sees Ella come over and says to her anxiously, "Ms. Lily, have

you seen the news?"

Lily asks curiously, "No, what news can make you so nervous?"

"The police caught the starlet doing drugs and took her into custody early in the morning." The

assistant lowers her voice, "This is on the front page everywhere."

"What?" Lily looks back at her in shock, "Are you talking about the starlet who signed the contract with

us?"

The assistant nods, "Exactly."
