Chapter 404: Chapter 404: You Finally Came Back, Before I Gave Up 4
Lily Grant entered the washroom, startling the station manager who was just pulling up his pants after using the toilet.
He looked around, relieved to find no one else there, and breathed a small sigh of relief.
Lily Grant casually locked the washroom door behind her.
The station manager looked at Lily Grant with a puzzled expression.
He was quite fat, with a face prone to oiliness, and having drunk some alcohol earlier, his face was now red and greasy, particularly under the light, which was somewhat unsightly.
"Mr. Manager, I’m here today mainly to help out a friend of mine." Lily Grant smiled as she approached the manager, but stopped at a certain distance.
"I’m sure you’ve heard from Sophia Fraser about my relationship with Chloe Grant, right?"
"I’ve heard, you two are cousins. Because of the issue between Little Dream and Little Lan, you haven’t shown much intimacy in the company," the manager said simply.
Little Dream is Molly Polis, and Little Lan is the popular anchor coaching Lily Grant.
As an intern sent by the school, people like the station manager usually wouldn’t bother, and it was left to the lower-level staff to handle.
But with the Fraser family’s lady involved this time, the manager couldn’t help but pay attention.
And from the beginning, this Fraser lady kept saying they were from the same school and were good friends.
It was just because of the issues with their respective anchors that they appeared distant, and sometimes even deliberately created a combative image.
The manager, having reached his position, had experienced such things before, so he wasn’t too startled but paid more attention.
"My cousin, Chloe... she’s a particularly shy person." Lily Grant lowered her head, tucked her hair behind her ear, and said softly, "Since the first time she saw you, she’s admired you greatly. She thinks you’re strong and handsome, exceptionally capable..."
"Really?"
Hearing these words, which rarely applied to him, the manager was a bit pleasantly surprised.
Everyone enjoys a compliment, whether they’re a man or woman.
"In the eyes of a lover, her beloved is a beauty. I’m sure you understand, when you like someone, all you see are their strengths," Lily Grant said deliberately.
The manager clearly appreciated that statement.
"Mr. Manager, come here, let me tell you a secret..." Lily Grant slowly leaned in towards the manager.
The manager cooperatively bent down, and Lily Grant spoke in his ear.
As he listened, his eyes lit up, he nodded frequently, and finally smiled with satisfaction.
"You’re really such a good sister,"
The manager complimented at the end of the conversation!
Lily Grant just smiled, "I hope my sister and you have a wonderful evening."
...
The private room was noisy, in absolute chaos, giving Chloe Grant a terrible headache.
Ultimately, when no one was paying attention, she quietly slipped out of the room.
But Molly Polis was worried she might leave completely and held onto her bag, "I’ll text you when the manager gets back, and you’ll need to return. Chloe, it’s essential to understand social dynamics if you want to do well in the working world!"
Having been in the workplace for many years, Molly Polis was quite perceptive about societal intricacies.
Chloe Grant nodded, "I understand."
She stepped out for some air.
Chloe Grant wasn’t too unfamiliar with the Royal Hotel; Lucas Morgan used to take her there often for meals.
She wandered around aimlessly.
To Chloe Grant’s surprise...
She unexpectedly ran into Matthew Morgan face-to-face!
At that moment, Chloe Grant was stunned!
On the same corridor, Matthew Morgan and Lucas Morgan approached from a distance, accompanied by someone Chloe Grant didn’t recognize, presumably a business associate...
