Sir madame has run away again (Lily and Carson)

Chapter 399

Turning around, I saw that the host of the event, Richard, had appeared. Then, Kevin immediately

greeted him: “Richard!”

“Kevin, Mom has been looking everywhere for you. You should find out what it is,” said Richard, smiling

at him.

“Okay,” Kevin replied without asking questions. Before leaving, he turned to me and said: “Lilian, wait

for me a bit. I’ll be right back. When this party is over, I’m going to offer you something delicious.”

When he saw Kevin’s enthusiasm for me, the smile on Richard’s face faded a bit. “Dona Lilian, let’s talk

somewhere.”

I nodded and followed him out of the main hall and through the back door into the open garden

outside. It was a huge garden complete with pavilions, a small bridge with a stream of water

underneath and all kinds of rare plants and flowers.

Leading me down a path, we finally stopped at the pavilion in the center of the lake. “Please sit down,

Miss Lilian!” he

offered.

Unlike how he was with Isabella at the restaurant earlier, or how he spoke on the phone the other day, I

found his current tone of voice a little odd. Despite this, I still sat down.

Sitting next to me, he praised: “You dance well, Lilian

“Thanks for the compliment, Young Master Richard”

“How did you meet Kevin?” he asked.

“My company collaborated with the Walker Group, where I worked for a period before, and that’s how I

met Kevin,” I explained.

“I see, he replied” Miss Lilian, I would like to talk about a project with you today, actually.”

Excitement coursed through my veins when I heard him mention that. It felt like heaven was still kind to

me, even though Eric tried all sorts of methods to put me through hell and refused to leave me

alone. Still, Richard was a good man and really opened up about construction with me. So I figured it

shouldn’t be too much of a problem to take over the interior design of his building. Suppressing the

anxiety in me, I said. “Please go ahead young master RichardTM

“Previously, Ms. Craig told me you’re an interior designer, and we hit it off as soon as I met

you. Thinking that the end result will be beautiful if a handsome designer like you designs the interior of

my company building, I thought I’d let you have this project. However, I just heard some bad news

today.” NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

Stunned, I asked, “What kind of bad news?”

“There are some rumors about you, Dona Lilian”, he replied. After a moment’s hesitation, he continued,

“It might not sound pleasant to the ears, so I’m not sure I should continue.”

Even though I had a feeling he was definitely going to say something horrible, I knew I hadn’t done

anything wrong, so I wasn’t afraid to say anything bad. So I calmed down and said to him, “Please say

what you think.”

“I’m honest with you if you’re okay with it. Someone said that you are unprofessional as a designer and

always act like a loose cannon, doing things however you want with no regard for your client’s

feelings. If that’s the case. ..

“Young master Richard, although I have not been in this field for a long time, I have never been

unprofessional, let alone disregarding my client’s feelings. Someone is trying to tarnish my reputation,”

I immediately rebutted.

“I don’t think you’re such a person either, but this person painted a very clear picture and even said that

you slammed the table in an argument with your client.”

By now, even an idiot would have known who this client in question was. Within my five years in this

industry. Eric was the only person I argued with, so obviously he was behind it too. It made me so

angry I almost couldn’t breathe. “Young master Richard, you can’t just listen to your one-sided story.”

”Really? So what do you have to say about it?”
