Chapter 84 - Rule Breaker (1/2)

Simon began to talk again, ”I want to thank one of the most work harder women I had met in those years.” He drifted his gaze to me and smiled.

”Lily Waldorf! You had helped the company to grow and if it wasn't for you we probably wouldn't have been here right now. I didn't invite you here only to celebrate the growth of the company but also to inform you that we'll open a new company, and as the head of the company is Lily Waldorf!”

He concluded his speech leaving me utterly speechless.

What?! I wasn't expecting that. I covered my mouth in surprisement and shock.

Me? As ahead of a new company? To be the real boss? That was a job full of responsibilities.

”What?” I said in disbelief.

Simon chuckled, he stretched his head so I walked up to the little stage.

”Cameron proposed me the idea and the collaboration wasn't only for the raise it was to testify your capabilities.”

I darted my gaze to Cameron who smiled hugely proudly and nodded.

I didn't know what to answer so I just kept covering my mouth still wordless and in disbelief. Yet so happy that I couldn't wait to see the company I would start working for.

”I don't know what to say, I am just so happy.”

People clapped their hands and cheered.

”Congratulations!”

Cameron walked on the stage with me and hugged me in front of everyone, he probably reacted instinctively but I could spot from the other people's gazes that they got puzzled by his gesture.

”I am sure you will do great things and your company will go far,” Cameron said, not minding the hundreds of people who had their gazes glued on us.

”Thank you Cameron and Simon for trusting my capabilities. I hope I don't disappoint you.” I said with a voice full of content and pride.

”Now! We are here to party!” Simon lifted his glass as he screamed.

Joanna hugged me and walked with me and the crowd of people to a table to fill our glasses with and cut the cakes.

Cameron began to talk with a few of his co-workers and he looked so happy talking with them.

Joanna finally pulled me by my side and then widened her eyes, ”was he holding your hand earlier? What happened in the bathroom?”

I took a bit of the cake, ”yes he was holding my hand. He kissed me in front of that woman.”

I whispered, her jaw dropped and her eyes widened.

”he kissed you? What? In front of her!?” She shook her head.
