His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 278

"Hey, you’re here,' the owner greeted Lily warmly.

Lily nodded and took out the draft she had prepared in advance but did not hand it over. "Where’s the kid?"

"Oh, that kid?" The owner laughed. "He hasn't been showing up for the past two days. I have no idea what's happening, and he wouldn’t answer his phone. I'll have him fired if he doesn't show up again tomorrow. Young people nowadays are truly unreliable."

'He hasn’t been here for two days?’ Lily thought to herself before asking again, "Didn’t he work for you for a long time already?"

The owner shook his head. "Who told you that? It has only been a couple of months. Besides, I saw that he had some carving skills. I’ve been preoccupied recently, and there's no one watching the store. Hence, I let him work here. However, I didn't expect that he'd be so unreliable. Look, he's only been working for a while and stopped coming without saying a word."

As the owner spoke of this, he seemed to think of something. "Oh, don’t worry. We won't delay your piece. Even if he doesn’t show up, I’ll find you a good craftsman and do your piece properly and beautifully!"

"Do you have his phone number?" Lily could not care less about the new craftsman.

“Yes, but he won't answer any calls." Embarrassed, the owner gave Lily a card with a phone number. "Ah, here you go."

Lily glanced at the number and wrote it down. She was here to make such an object because her father’s birthday was approaching. Although Lily was not returning, she thought of giving him a gift. Still, she needed to find the young man to get the type of wood for her new product's research process.

Not long after walking out of the woodcarving shop, she received a call from Jenny. "Where are you?"
