“Mike, I feel like I’ve only just started to know you today. You’re truly somebody, aren’t you?” Lily said it coldly and backed into the elevator. “You’re right. Since I already quit, I shouldn’t be here. I’ll leave right now, so I won’t be putting you two on the spot.”
“Don’t go!” Taken aback, Rhea tried to pull her, but Lily’s wrist easily shifted to dodge her grasp.
“It’s not up to him to make the decision!” Rhea spoke angrily as she looked at Lily. “Don’t you want to take a look at my workplace? Don’t you want to look for what you’ve left behind and see what you want to see?”
Her words were extremely tempting and yet felt like a trap.
Lily let out a half-smile. “I wanted to, but not anymore. Mr. Corden is right. This involves your secrets, and I shouldn’t ask too much about it. Goodbye!”
She pressed the button on the elevator.
“Don’t go!” Rhea tried to stop her, but Mike dragged her back.
Caught off-guard, Rhea knocked into him. Missing the elevator, she saw the elevator doors shut.
“Mike!” Glaring over her shoulder, Rhea was enraged.
Mike slowly let go of her hand with an indifferent look.
“Do you know what you’ve done?” Rhea felt like tearing him apart as she stared at him.
Reason told her that she could not do so just yet, but anger overwhelmed her. ‘This man is such a nuisance!’
