His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 700

Rose, Alexander’s secretary, was growing impatient as she waited. Her boss remained calm, but she could not help asking, “Mr. Russell, why don’t I call Lily and ask about her current location?”

It should be easy for the company to look up the employee’s phone number. She would happily be the villain if her boss were unwilling to urge Lily.

Alexander replied calmly, “No need. Go outside to deal with it first. She’ll be here soon.”

Alexander had already made his point, so there was no use in her rushing. While her superior seemed calm under pressure, she was anxious despite only being a subordinate. Rose bit her lip, turned, and left.

Alexander finally pulled out his phone and looked at it, his eyes darkening.

When they parted ways, she claimed she needed time to gather "evidence." She added that it could take some time and she could be late, but she would be there eventually. Certainly, she would provide the press and the company with a satisfactory explanation.

He trusted her and knew that if he had not heard from her, it must be because she wasn't ready. Therefore it was pointless to urge her.

Time passed, and when the clock’s hand pointed to 6.55 p.m., indicating it would start in five minutes, his cell phone finally rang.

"Hello?" He answered the phone immediately.

"Alex, I'm stuck in traffic right now. We're rushing over but might be late. Could you ask one of the company’s employees to stall for some time? I-I'm sorry!" She apologized.

Lily had allocated sufficient time and rushed to meet it, but she had not considered she would be stuck in the evening rush hour. The time was approaching 7 p.m., and she was going to be late.

"Don't worry about the situation here. Don’t rush, and take your time. Where’s the traffic jam? Do you want me to pick you up?" He asked in a soft voice.
