Chapter 842 - Lilian Cavadini (2/2)

He is keeping his distance from her, but she is watching… and waiting... confident that her time will come.

Lily is making sure to be available whenever any of the directors needs something delivered to the CEO, and one of those opportunities is right now.

Back to present...

”Why are you here?” Jasper does not like that she got into his office without permission, and his cold reception is not hiding his displeasure with the current situation.

Lily can tell that Jasper is aggrevated, but she found his icy-blue eyes to be simply irresistible.

”I'm here to drop off these documents.” Lily innocently pointed at the documents she kept on his desk previously. ”Director Stanley said it's important, so I didn't want to leave them unattended. Faith is not at her desk, so I let myself in.”

She scrutinized him and noticed that he looks sharp. ”Anyone special?”

”None of your concern.”, Jasper pushed a button on his desk.

Few seconds later, his secretary, Faith entered CEO's office.

Lily frowned. What does that mean: 'none of my concern' ? Did he find himself a girl worth showering and dressing up for?

”Miss Cavadini brought some documents inside my office. Personally.”, Jasper told Faith dryly.

Faith saw Lily standing next to Jasper's desk and fell into panic. ”I apologize CEO Kiani. I stepped away only for a minute to go to the restroom.”

Jasper's cell was ringing, and he saw that it's a call from his father.

”Miss Cavadini, next time make sure to leave documents with Faith. If she is not there, wait for her outside my office.”, he waved gesturing to two women to get out without looking at them and answered the call. ”Yes, father…”

”Mr. Korhonen is here after a long time, and I hear that you rejected meeting him today?”, Jasper's father was not happy.

Jasper made a face. Why would he meet with some old geezer when he already agreed to meet with Ellie? ”It was a last minute meeting invitation, and I have a conflict.”

”Last minute? The request for the meeting at four o'clock was sent around noon. That gives you four hours to rearrange your schedule. Whatever your conflict is, make it disappear. What kind of a CEO are you if you can't meet with one of our biggest partners during regular work hours?”

Jasper pinched roof of his nose while his father continued: ”You know that there are still people who suspect that I gave you this position too soon. You can't allow yourself to slip now. You are almost there. Establish yourself properly and then you can…”

”Yes. Yes… Fine.” Jaspers squeezed through his teeth and took a deep breath. He should not snap at his father. ”Send me the details. But I will meet him in the building and no dinner plans.”

Jasper hanged up and exhaled.

He agreed to meet with Ellie at four. And he was looking forward to it. Now what?
