Chapter 282
The car suddenly sped up, and Lily swallowed her curiosity about the photos and the investigation
She gripped the overhead handle, her heart racing from the intense speed. Xavier's voice mockingly said, "You're
really "loyal" to your feelings."
The rapid speed made her uncomfortable, so she closed her eyes and shrank into her seat. She didn't know how
much tpassed before the Cullinan finally came
to a stop.
She slowly opened her eyes, her long lashes fluttering, and glanced out the window. They had arrived at the
entrance of Aqua Sonata neighborhood.
She opened the car door, jumped out, and crouched by the roadside, gagging. The cold didn't hurt her, but the
nausea did. Every tshe ran into him, things never went well
Once the dizziness faded, she didn't look back and walked straight into the neighborhood.

The passenger window was still down, and Xavier waited for her to say "thank you". Instead, he watched her
storm off, her back filled with frustration.
Where was her conscience? As expected, she could only make him angry.
The Cullinan parked by the roadside in the cheap neighborhood, drawing attention. After a while, he raised the
window and drove off
Upstairs, Maryanne had already left. This was the first night since moving in that Lily would be alone. She was
left alone to process the subtle emotions that surfaced when she encountered Xavier
She forced herself to suppress those feelings and focused on thinking about how to design Terence's marital
home.
The following day, she felt a bit drained. To make things worse, Landon called her into his office when she arrived
at the company.
"Lily, were you with the client for measuring the dimensions yesterday?" Landon asked.
"Yes, | sent you a message." Lily nodded.
She was about to take out her notes to show the measurements, but she realized she had left her notebook at
home.
He waited for her to prove she hadn't been goofing off during work hours.
She apologized, saying, "I forgot to bring it, but I have all the measurements in my head
Although it was a two-story villa with more than ten rooms, her memory was excellent, and she remembered
everything
"Someone made an anonymous report that you were using work hours for personal matters." He pulled out some
photos of her with Maryanne shopping for clothes "The headquarters askedto investigate and report back
this moming In the photos, she and Maryanne were anm-in-arm, laughing and chatting, obviously famillar.
Everyone was suspicious that she colluded with a friend to take measuring the dimensions and was slipping
work. So, calling to clear things up wouldn't be
nough.
"What else can prove my innocence, aside from the notebook?" Lily didn't want to waste time.
Landon looked troubled. "Unless you can get yesterday's client to sign the contract today."

This wasn't Landon trying to make things difficult, but rather just store policy.
Even after the measurements, the design needed to be approved by the client before the contract was signed,
yet she was expected to get the signature today. "What else?" she couldn't just ask the Devereux family to sign
off on the contract. "Maybe you could call Mr. Devereux?" Landon hinted, suggesting she use backdoor
connections to solve the issue.
Lily pressed her lips together and asked, "What if | really did sidp work to have fun!"
He answered without hesitation, "Your entire commission for the month will be canceled, and your quarterly
bonus will be deducted."
Money was her lifeline at the moment. The atmosphere in the office bectense.
Suddenly, Daphne knocked on the door and poked her head inside. "Mr. Ashford, a client's here, asking for Lily
specifically
"Isit yesterday's client?" Landon immediately got up from his desk.
Lily Instinctively shook her head. "Impossible."
She had agreed with Maryanne that they would send the design once it was ready, so they would not be coming
back. "II's Mr. Fulton," Daphne whispered "He looks really wealthy!"
