Lily's expression froze, and her calmness dissipated. Work? No way! This host had already thought it through. Lily only wanted to be a salted fish in this lifetime!
Just the sight of a document gave Lily a headache, not to mention seeing a pile of them.
Lily quickly waved her hand in the air and refuted, "No. No. Mom. Big brother is already doing a good job. It's already hard being an actress; I can't..."
Quist could only sigh. He knew she was making an excuse, but what could he do? They only wanted to pamper her and make her happy.
Quist extended his hand and rubbed Lily's hair endearingly. "It's fine; you can take your time. Whenever you're ready, there'll be a position in the company waiting for you. Later, I'll bring you out to play and eat."
Lily nodded in glee and smiled joyfully at the mention of playing and eating. Great! All she wanted was leisure time.
Zane Ji paused, and his eyes narrowed slightly. He'd wanted to go search for the woman when he heard their interaction.
It turned out that this woman was even more capable than her family thought. Lily was really a treasure.
At that moment, Zane's resolve became firm. He couldn't let that demon run away. He turned back and strode into his room.
Lily picked up her phone and decided to open social media while she made her way to the garden. In fact, ever since that incident, Lily hadn't been able to use her phone, and so she didn't know how the club incident had ended.
Lily frowned. Cara hadn't reached out to her since then. Lily deserved an apology from those fake friends, didn't she?
Lily stopped scrolling when she saw that the trending incident in the app was related to a club. More especially, the club that Lily had attended.
Lily's eyes constricted upon seeing the lustful video that was uploaded live by Cara.
Although they'd tried to take the video down, of course, a lot of netizens had saved it, and so it kept circulating on social media again and again regardless of how they tried to take it down.
After watching everything, Lily immediately knew that it was all related to Zane Ji. Lily's eyes shone, and she leaned back. Zane Ji was really a badass. Even going as far as this for her.
Well, it seemed that stinky man wasn't entirely heartless.
As if it wasn't enough that Zane had dealt with all the people who were related to the drugging incident, David Bo, Cara's father, was now going through a strict investigation for corruption.
Even the pure Darcy was now being dragged for being two-faced. It was right to say that the family's happy and prestigious lifestyle was about to end.
Lily had only read about this type of male lead ruining a family for the female lead scene in novels. It was really interesting for Lily to experience it.
Lily's brows furrowed when she saw that Cara had sent her a video. Upon taking a look at the video, she saw that it was an apology video and confession video from Cara.
In the video, Cara explained the whole truth about the incident. Cara had also revealed that it turned out her father wasn't David Bo, and in fact she was the daughter of his younger brother, who'd died in a car accident with his wife.
Cara's father had willed that David Bo should give Cara her properties once she was eighteen.
But instead, David Bo had bought over the lawyer and taken over everything that belonged to Cara and her family.
Since Cara was growing up, she'd always been compared to Darcy, and she'd already accepted the fact that she would never have a say or share in the company or properties.
Due to this, Cara always listened to whatever Darcy asked her to do so that Darcy and the Bo family wouldn't think she wanted to steal the heir position.
This was also the reason that Cara had acted like a bad egg and dumped her dream life.
But now that Cara had finally learned the truth and regained all she'd lost, Cara was going to go abroad to start a new life. And this was her way of saying goodbye to Lily.
Lily's eyes softened, and she realized that even villains always had a backstory. She exhaled, and all the grievances in her heart disappeared.
Lily was glad that Cara had finally found joy and was going to start a new life.
Lily put her phone away, and her eyes shone. Mr. Ji had tried a lot. Should she thank him? But if she thanked him, how could she continue the image of her socialite?
Lily decided to close one eye. Well, she'd act as if she didn't know anything, as she'd been doing all these days. He couldn't know anyway.
Not to mention that Zane had eaten Lily's meal and taken advantage of Lily, her room, and her house. Hmph!
Lily stood up from the gazebo and returned back to the mansion in a lazy manner.
Zane Ji was going through documents when she entered.
Lily puckered her lips. She woke up to see Zane working on the phone, and she was going to sleep with him going through work—did he even care about anything else?
Lily waved her hand in the air. Well, it wasn't her concern, right? It was all the female lead's concern.
What if Lily started showing care for Zane and he fell in love with her and she had to be papapa every day? Just the thought made Lily shiver!
Lily began to make her way to the restroom to take a bath. After dressing while almost giving someone a nosebleed, she made her way toward the bed, but in the next second, Lily paused.
Lily had already decided to act like a socialite from now on. If she were a socialite, what would she do?
Lily's eyes suddenly lit up, and she made her way toward Zane.
The woman was in a silky, sleeveless, V-neck pink nightdress that fell just below her perky butt, a sweet mix of milk and strawberry oozing from her.
Zane's darkened eyes constricted and his mouth turned dry, his Adam's apple bobbing. Was this woman seducing him on purpose? She'd even dressed in front of him, almost making him run crazy?
Did Lily really think he couldn't handle her in her room?
The unaware Lily sat next to Zane. She raised her hand and gently massaged Zane's shoulder while letting her hair caress him gently.
Lily spoke in that coquettishly high-pitched voice, "Zane, it's enough work already. You should take a rest."
Zane's eyes narrowed, and he looked at the bewitching woman, knowing she'd already gotten into her role. "I'm making money so you can spend to your satisfaction." He calmly responded.
Lily froze, and her hand immediately lowered. That's right. Zane must work hard so that when it was time for divorce, he could easily give her the alimony.
Immediately, Lily stopped acting, and she separated from Zane. She smiled and blinked beautifully. "Good luck, Zane. The company's work is hard. You have to be patient when dealing with it. I won't disturb you any longer."
Although this wasn't what Zane meant, Lily quickly spun his words.
Zane's eyes shone. He didn't know what the woman had been playing at since morning, but he knew that everything was an act.
The only thing about Lily was two things. Not only was she a foodie, but she was also a money grubber!
Lily carefully made her way to the bed and lay on her side. Only heaven knew if she was doing it on purpose or not, but her lying position was very seductive and could rile a man up.
Zane's eyes darkened more. He cleared his throat. "When do you want to return home?"
This was her home, okay? Lily pursed her lips.
The Shen family home was very beautiful and fun. If it was up to Lily, she really didn't want to go home. However, she'd close her eyes this one time!
Since Zane had helped her with the club incident, Lily would be paying him back by listening to him. From now on they were equal, and she didn't owe him, so she couldn't be at his whim anymore.
"Tomorrow," Lily grumbled. Also, the faster Lily returned to the mansion, the faster Lily could return home.
Zane's eyes narrowed. Now Lily was being cooperative. This woman's thoughts were really unfathomable. You couldn't guess what was going on in her head. "Hm."
