His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 1285

"Lily? Lily!" Thompson called out after her a few times, but she had no intention of stopping.

Just as he was deciding if he should chase after her or not, Mike held him back. "Professor Thompson, you should give her some time to think."

"But…" Although Thompson did not fancy Mike, Lily was long gone amidst his hesitation.

Ultimately, Thompson could only sit resentfully and glare at Mike. "Mr. Corden, you know how on edge everyone is about the project. Are you deliberately causing trouble by pulling something like this?"

"You should be careful when you speak." Mike pushed the glasses on his nose bridge, and a faint smile appeared on his face. "Don't forget. I'm one of the investors now and have spent money on this project. Why wouldn't I want to see results? It's just that you're using the wrong method to try and keep her in this project."

"What do you mean?" Thompson was puzzled.

"I can more or less understand where Lily is coming from. Now that she doubts your purpose, she won't give in until she gets her answer. If you continue to hide things from her like this, I'm afraid it'll be difficult to get her to come back and complete this project."

That success was imminent. If they stopped now…
