Chapter 100 Are You Afraid Of Me?

Zhuo Capital - President Zhuo's office."Don't kill her." Lily leaned back in the chair and examined her nails before turning her head towards Zhuo Jingren. "She does not deserve to die." She wondered what could have caused this man to be capable of being so cold-hearted."Alright." Zhuo Jingren shifted on his seat. "You know I won't tolerate anyone who tries to harm you.""She is not my enemy," Lily said before she propped her chin in the palm of her left hand, her gaze fixed on Zhuo Jingren. "Tell me… did you kill Akane?""No. I am not the type of person who kills easily," Zhuo Jingren answered. "But I did punish her.""What about Riku?""He knew that Akane couldn't escape punishment after what she did. But Akane's actions had nothing to do with him," he answered truthfully. Zhuo Jingren would never forgive Akane for trying to kill Lily. Anyone who dare lay a finger on his wife would have to pay a price. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. Lily nodded and checked her wristwatch. She was running a little behind time in her paperwork. Originally, she was planning to catch up on some work in Zhuo Jingren's office after lunch but then the latter started recounting what happened earlier in his office."Lily?" Zhuo Jingren held Lily's hands, gaining her attention. "Hm?""Are you afraid of me?" he asked as he gave Lily's hand a little squeeze."Why would I be afraid of you?" she asked with raised eyebrows. She had to admit that what he did was a little ruthless but he was just trying to protect her. Moreover, if Mu Qingling was let off too easily, wouldn't she try to scheme against her again? "Thank you." Zhuo Jingren leaned in and kissed her on the forehead. He had already given Mu Qingling a chance of survival. If she still doesn't learn from this, then no one could blame him for being even more ruthless. He already lost Lily once, he would do everything in his power to protect her henceforth. …A small smile escaped Lily's lips at the sight of Zhuo Jingren's high spirits as he made his way back to his desk. She figured that he must have told her about this because he didn't want to hide anything from her. Likewise, she had been honest with him about her plans regarding Qin Industries. This seemed like a start of an honest partnership between the two of them. Not that she had any problems with being honest. In fact, she would love for them to always be honest with each other. With a smile plastered on her face, she gestured for Yang Mi to come closer so that she could give her some instructions. Tomorrow would be the quarterly meeting for the shareholders of the A.R Mall and Boutique. She was sure that Liam and Xuan Hui would be making a big move against her."President, here are the files that needed your signature." Yang Mi immediately handed Lily a pile of folders. "Also, Mr. Fernando Kim called to remind you that fashion week is next friday. And next monday is our quarterly meeting with Facci Group's board of directors in London. Shall I make arrangements for our flight?""Go ahead," Lily said while massaging her brows. The agenda for this quarterly meeting with Facci Group's board of directors had long been set. The main items on the agenda were performance reports from their subsidiary companies that would be presented by the respective managing directors. But Lily decided to insert another item on the agenda which was to give an update about the progress of their acquisition of A.R Mall and Boutique and to announce some new appointments. She wouldn't want to miss attending this meeting."I have already appointed Mr. Beau to be in charge of managing A.R Mall and Boutique. Miss O'kelly will be supporting him up as Operations Manager of the other branches of A.R Mall and Boutique. Have their new appointments announced to everyone in Facci Group after the quarterly meeting is over.""Got it, President.""Anything else?" Lily asked."Mr. Xuan scheduled a meeting with you.""Did he mention why?""No." Yang Mi answered."Then reject him. This is a simple matter. In the future, if no purpose is stated, reject the meeting request straightaway. Especially from insignificant people like him.""My apologies, President.""Hmmm… will our people from London arrive today?""Yes, President.""Then make sure their accommodations are all finalized. And get them to start working as soon as possible. Tell them to start with Mr. Li, he is the next biggest shareholder after Zhuo Capital and Qin Mo.""Got it. President," Yang Mi answered. Without any further instructions from Lily, Yang Mi returned to her small desk to resume working. The president had her eyes set on obtaining Qin Industries and Yang Mi would stand next to the president and offer her full support. Ever since she learned about the president's childhood from Old Madam Facci, she had formed a bad impression of the Qin family. She couldn't wait for the day to come where her president would succeed in her plans. She knew that the day was not far away. A dangerous glint flashed in Yang Mi's eyes. 'Qin Industries, you will receive your punishment soon.'…Editor: Swaning
