Chapter 176 Rejecting Her Request Without Mercy

Harriet explained with a smile, "I'm helping Mr. Landau look for something. Why didn't you knock on the door when you came in?"

Lilian pursed her lips and looked at Francis again.

He frowned a bit but said nothing.

Lilian lowered her head and put the document down on the table, then bowed, turned around, and walked out.

Harriet watched Lilian leave the office before withdrawing her sight. When she lowered her head, she found Francis staring at her.

"What's wrong, Mr. Landau? Is there something on my face?" Harriet touched her cheek.

Francis's eyes wandered over her face for a while, making Harriet feel a little guilty.

He suddenly withdrew his sight and said, seeming to imply something, "Ms. Osborne, focus more on your work."

Harriet was slightly startled, and the smile at the corner of her mouth faded a bit, but she calmly said, "I will, sir."

After Harriet finished speaking, she walked out on high heels.

After she came out, the smile on her face changed with somewhat coldness.

Lilian sat in front of the computer in a daze, staring at the computer screen until it went black.

"Hey, it's time to get off work." Someone knocked on her desktop.

Lilian came back to her senses, nodded towards the person, and stood up to pack her things as well.

Suddenly her phone rang and someone sent a WhatsApp message.

Lilian picked it up and looked at it. It was from Mr. Vaughn with very few short words.

[She's been hospitalized. ]

The hospital address and ward number were added to the back of the message.

Lilian was slightly startled. She naturally knew who he was referring to.

She didn't dare to delay, so she immediately grabbed her things and ran out of the company quickly.

There were too many people taking taxis near the company and she couldn't get one, so she had to run further and order on Uber.

While waiting for Uber, it started to drizzle. After a while, there were a lot of raindrops on her hair.

Suddenly a Bentley stopped beside her, the window lowered, and she saw Francis's face.

He held the steering wheel with one hand and tilted his head sideways to look at her.

"You ran fast. Get in."

Lilian stared at him for a few seconds, shook her head, and gestured, "I have something to do."

"What's up?"

Lilian pursed her lips and gestured again, "I'm going to the hospital to see Fabiana."

Francis narrowed his eyes, and his tone suddenly became a bit colder, "I said, get in!"

Lilian stood in the hazy drizzle, her figure was skinny, with a bit of pleading and stubbornness in her eyes.

Francis ignored it and said coldly, "Don't let me say it a third time."

Lilian tightened her hands, reached out one of them to open the door, and got in obediently. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

She thought that if she behaved better, he would agree.

If she went against him, she would definitely not be able to go today.

Francis drove the car out. The road was heavily jammed, and the car went less than 300 meters in twenty minutes.

He lowered the window irritably, took out a cigarette and lit it. He leaned casually against the back of the chair, raised his head slightly, and blew out a puff of smoke. The white smoke drifted out of the window.

The remaining half drifted towards Lilian's side, which was a bit choking. She suppressed a cough, reached out her hand, and pulled his sleeve.

Francis turned his head, glanced at her, and then withdrew his sight.

"Don't think about it." He rejected her request without mercy.

Lilian became more and more anxious when she thought about Fabiana's condition and Paul's attitude.

She pinched Francis's sleeve and pulled it again.
