Lyra was sarcastic while observing Anne's expression and demeanor.
But she didn't realize what happened and didn't understand at all, "What are you talking about? What's the sniping? Are you going to do this to me later?" "I did not say it, but | am a person who holds a grudge. | don't like to suffer. If someone dares to bully me, | will pay back a hundred times. | believe that there are many people in the business are the same as me being vengeful. If one day when you are walking down the street, and you suddenly are knocked out and kidnapped, it must be done by someone you offended. " Anne seemed to be shocked, and in a moment, those bright eyes were red.
"Ms. Lloyd, don't scare me. I'm not experienced with all this and | haven't offended anyone. The only one | might have offended, and that's .." She trailed off and seemed to think for a moment before finally fixing her gaze firmly on Lyra's face.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLyra snorted disdainfully, "Miss Windsor, you can leave if you suddenly came to me just to say that the cooperation was stolen. | will steal AN Group's business as long as you serve as AN Group's business director.” Anne's eyes became even redder. As if she was about to cry with grievance, her eyes were watery with tears, "Why are you targeting me so much? What did | do wrong to offend you?" Lyra leaned carelessly into the back of her office chair, "If you want to be at peace with me from now on, answer me some questions." Anne nodded honestly, "Yes, please ask and | will tell you everything." Lyra's exquisite eyes were dark with sarcasm as she coldly opened her mouth and asked, "Miss Windsor, are you really Anne yourself?" Anne looked puzzled, "Of course." She continued, "And do you remember where you and Mr. Paul met?" Anne frowned, "This is a private matter. Do you even have to ask about it?" "It's just a question. A location, and it won't infringe on your relationship or privacy." Anne replied in a serious manner, "It seems to be somewhere in the mountains of Suham in Crana ." "Oh?" Lyra raised an eyebrow in surprise, "Why did you go there?" "Because the school organized activities at that time. If | go to the countryside to farm, | can increase the credit. | want to get a scholarship, so | went there. Who knows | was lost in the and I just met Paul who came to Crana for tourism. So | asked him for directions. | didn't expect he fell in love with me at first sight. He tried desperately to talk to me. I think he is quite interesting, so | exchanged contact information. " Lyra lowered her eyes, hiding the coldness, "So that's how it is. That's interesting." Anne smiled, seemingly recalling the days when they met and felt wonderful.
While she was lost in thought, Lyra caught her off guard and continued, "It seems that this incident is very memorable to you. Do you remember which mountain forest you went to in the first place? And where did you go to farm because of the school organization?" She froze and thought about it before asking, "Why are you asking in such detail? You seem to take my acquaintance with Paul very seriously. You have to tell me why so | can decide whether | want to tell you everything. What do you think?" Lyra said, "Because my sister disappeared at countryside, as if evaporated. | could not find her so | am curious where you were farming and had you seen her." "Sister? Do you have a photo of her?" "Of course | do." Lyra opened the drawer on the right side of her desk and took out a photo of Ethe and handed it to her.
Anne took the photo and looked at it carefully, "Ms. Lloyd's sister looks so beautiful.” Lyra nodded fervently, "Well, she does look quite beautiful.” Only, she was the kind of beauty that can be called the scourge.
Anne was still looking at the photo.
After taking a few more looks, she laughed and said, "It's really amazing. | think your sister surprisingly looks similar to me." Lyra shook her head.
Anne: "Don't you think so?" "No, it's at least fifty or sixty present similar.” Anne smiled brightly, "That's really a coincidence. It seems that you and | are very close. Last time | heard you talk about your sister, | did not expect to look like me." Lyra didn't want to hear this nonsense and brought the subject back, "Miss Windsor, now can you tell me what countryside you were farming in?" Anne recalled carefully.
"Sorry Ms. Lloyd, | really don't remember. I'm not familiar with the names of places. Even if I've walked five or six times, | don't always remember the names, but I'm sure I've never seen your sister. Otherwise if | meet a girl with a face similar to mine, | can't have no impression. Maybe | can even become friends with each other ." Lyra observed the expression on her face and said in a reasonable manner, "OK, | won't make things difficult for you. | can stop interfering your cooperation with other companies. By the way | can also return a cooperation project to you as compensation." Anne's eyes lit up with surprise, "Really? You can still give me the contract?" Lyra nodded affirmatively, "As long as you're willing to stay and play in Crana for a few more days, I'l do what | say." "Of course no problem. Thanks. You must have a lot of work to do, so I'll leave you to it." Anne answered quickly. After a polite bow, she got up to go out.
Just as she got up, she seemed to think of something else, turned back and continued, "But you have asked me to stay for a few more days, how long is that exactly? If it's too long, Paul will be worried. After all, he's in Owhil and I'm coming to Crana alone this time." Lyra said she understood, "Don't worry, three or five days at the most. Tomorrow afternoon, you will come back to the Lloyd's Corp to see me again. | want to take you to a fun place." "Okay, no problem." Anne seemed to be very excited to get the cooperation back and also solved Lyra's target. The sound of her high heels stepping out was crisp and cheerful.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLyra's face had a polite smile as she watched her figure exit through the glass doors.
When she disappeared completely, Lyra's smile disappeared and she turned cold.
So seamlessly every word, every expression, if it was pretend, she was really a best actress.
Ethel, she mused, had nothing to fall back on in the whole of Crana. She had no family or friends left.
Except for that person ...
She would Anne to a meeting tomorrow. Maybe she could have some clues.
