Chapter 289
“I can tell you’re not feeling too well after your surgery, so I’ll stop arguing with you now.”
After turning the wheelchair around, Nathaniel continued, "I have to head back and rest. I'll arrange for someone to take care of
you. As for going home, let's discuss it when you’re ready to be discharged."
At that point, there was nothing left to say. In addition to Lily, he also needed to consider maximizing the company's interests. It
was inappropriate for Melanie to hold onto her position for a long time.
Lily quickly hopped into the shower when she got home. She felt like bad luck had assaulted her from every corner today.
Melanie was no threat to her, but the whole thing had been frustrating. Lily had not expected Melanie to use her pregnancy to
frame someone. Melanie was far more vicious than she had imagined.
When Lily got out of the shower, she saw that she had a missed call from someone named “Grumpy Craftsman.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe pursed her lips and thought that something must have happened. She pressed the redial button
and waited for a moment. Finally, someone answered, and she said in a low voice, "Hello?"
"Good employees don’t skip work. Aren't you afraid that your boss will fire you?" Lily said mockingly.
Judging by how he had acted earlier, he should be pretty afraid of his boss, so he would not skip work
for no reason. However, the man on the phone was irritated and did not seem to be in a joking mood.
His voice was still low as he replied, "I don’t want to do it anymore. Find someone else."
After that, he wanted to hang up, but Lily shockingly replied, " Wait! Why won’t you do it? Didn't you
already agree to the job? Are you not satisfied with the payment? What's the problem?"
"It's nothing. I just don't want to do it. Find someone else."
"What do you mean?!" Lily was pretty upset. "Do you understand the spirit of a contract? You can’t
back out after you’ve agreed to it! " After a pause, she asked, "Are you facing any difficulties?"
"No." The line went silent for a moment before he added, "I'm sorry." Then he hung up the phone. Lily
redialed his number, but he did not pick up.
Lily was upset. ‘What’s going on today? Why is everything going in the wrong direction? This is getting
really annoying.’
Lily was irritated and had to find a way to vent. She changed and went straight to the laboratory. Once
she got there, she went straight to her private lab.
Since the start of the new project, Lily has had a separate lab. Olivia and herself would be there most
of the time. Their newest product had been a success, so the two had gone on a short vacation. That
was why the lab was locked all the time.
When Lily stormed into the room, she accidentally locked the door from the inside. No one knew what
was happening, and they just stared at each other in silence.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSoon after, Jenny got word of Lily’s arrival and rushed to the lab.
She stood outside and knocked on the door. “Lily, it’s Jenny.”
There was no response, but faint tinkling sounds of equipment echoed. Was Lily in the middle of an experiment? There had been
no news about any new projects.
"Lily, are you making a new product? Do you need help? Do you want me to call Olivia?" Jenny asked after knocking on the door
again.
Nobody responded, and the people outside asked, “Do you think something happened inside?”
“Nonsense. Lily is just developing a new product. Are you guys finished with your work? Have you completed all your tasks for
this quarter? Everyone should have at least one new product. Will you be able to complete the assignment?" Jenny sounded
quite intimidating as she questioned the staff.
After getting an earful, the staff went straight to their respective labs and continued their work.
