“So How Can I Help You, President Walker?”
“Stay there and don’t go anywhere! That was the irrational order he gave as he glared at me.
“President Walker, are you crazy?” I couldn’t hold back anymore. “Do you parents know how you are
behaving? Who do you think I am? Am I some kind of scoundrel? It’s just a project, so why do you
insist on making things difficult for me? I’ll have y’all know I gave up! You can handle the rest of the
project on your own!”
The long airing made me feel so much better. As I opened the door to leave, he called out to me and
said, “You know what the consequences are when you leave, Lilian Hawkins!TM
“What can you do about it? Are you planning to attack President Smith after this? Wants to know? You
can do whatever you want without considering my feelings. While I owe President Smith a favor, I owe
you nothing! You can try to target it, but I can always buy your company as payment!”
My words were met with a sharp intake of breath, which caused me to turn to see Callie’s secretary
and Eric looking at me with wide eyes as they stood in the doorway. It was obvious that my reaction
caught them off guard, but I didn’t delay any longer. Instead, I strode out to the elevator without even
returning to my office.
My descent to the lower levels was uninhibited. As I planned to drive home after that, I remembered
that my car was still parked near the restaurant Eric opened, so I took a cab to get to my car.
As I was walking home I got a call from Carson “Honey where are you now?”
“Somewhere out there. What is the problem?”
“Is nothing. I only called because I want you to know that I miss you.
and you. There was concern in his voice. “Instead of holding him back, you can tell me about
anything. Maybe I can give you some suggestions.”
“I am fine. What can go wrong?” I suddenly remembered my argument with Eric, which made me
wonder if Carson somehow knew about this. However, it was not possible, as the discussion took place
in Eric’s workshop, while the only people present outside were Eric’s secretary and Callie. Neither
could have connections with Carson, nor would he be able to send someone to spy on Eric. If Carson
somehow managed to do that, he sure would be one hell of a man.

I simply scoffed at the idea, as I was pretty sure I’d be dead if I trusted him with anything. However, I
didn’t let it show. “I see, thank you, dear! I have another call coming in, so I’m going to hang up!” It
wasn’t until after I did that that I realized Jenny was calling. So I answered the call. “Jenny, is
something wrong?”
“Lily, where are you?
“Way home.”
“What happened back there? Why did you fight with President Walker?”
“Never in my life have I seen anyone as shameless as he is! How did such a deceitful, mean and
cunning scoundrel manage to get to his position? I am not his slave, so why should I allow him to order
me around?”
“President Walker is not such a person. Are you sure there wasn’t a misunderstanding?”
