Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)

Chapter 973

Willy was gloomed over the next few days because of what happened that night. He was sitting in his office,

flipping through his documents, but his sight was set onto his cell phone on the side. After a while, he was in a

daze while he propped his chin. "Sigh..."

Willy sighed unconsciously. He cback to his senses as he tapped on his head in frustration. All of a sudden,

someone knocked on the door of his office lightly. He grabbed a pen on the desk and said, "Cin!"

Lexx could tell that Willy was unusually irritated as soon as he opened the door.

"What's the matter?"

Willy asked. Lexx couldn't help rolling his eyes. He retorted, "Didn't you askto cup?"

"What?"

Willy cback to his senses and thought of something. He bent over and took a document from his drawer and

handed it over, "Take a look at this!"

"Is this the C Financial Group's IPO proposal?"

Lexx was stunned as soon as he saw the document. He asked, "Are you planning on taking the company public

in an overseas market?" Wasn't it already put on hold? Why was he bringing it up again?

"It's just a temporary proposal! C Financial Group has developed too fast in the past two years. Not to mention

that it may soon cunder public scrutiny, it is also already impacting many traditional industries, and could

be impact many parties’ interests. It is common for a company to plummet once it reaches its peak. If things go

on like this, I'm afraid everything will be over sooner or later. We have planned for this for so many years. We

have always tried to make the company go public but to no avail. Doesn't this prove that there is a problem

there?"

It was not that Willy was fond of the idea of listing the company in an overseas market, but there were no other

ways to it. There were too many barriers for the company to go public locally. Also, Willy was not willing to let go

of the profitable company that he had spent years building. It could be a way to keep the company around.

"The company has not gained any attention yet. So, it's a good opportunity now. | roughly did an estimation. The

growth rate this year is likely to exceed 10%! At this speed, our company is more susceptible to risk the later it

gets! So, this is an opportunity for us to make the best out of the next two years to list it on the market!"

"You're right. | have the sthought too! In the future, A.l. and automation will becmainstream. The same

applies to online financial management. The traditional financial management industry will be hugely

impacted..."

The first ones to suffer had to be the banks! The things involved in this matter were too complicated.

"It could actually be a win-win situation to diversify the company and make this company go public

independently."

In fact, Lexx knew clearly that it was a disguised form of self protection. Once C Financial Group becfamous,

speople might be dissatisfied with it, especially the ones in positions of power. In that case, they would still

have room for negotiation at that time. It would not end up getting the entire Centurion Financial Group to

becthe target of everyone. That was the benefit of the diversification in it. Willy's visions and plans were

always ahead of an average person.

"Well, that's what | mean. | personally don't mind letting C Financial Group rise and fall on its own accord, but it

shouldn't becan obstacle in the big picture! So, we must make this happen quickly, but we should try to

keep it as confidential as possible, and you have to helpfind someone..."

"lI understand! You're talking about Amory from Genius Audit Firm. Well, | will go meet him personally! I'll have

him review all the accounts in the past three years before the company goes public! There won't be any

mistakes!"

Willy nodded his head with a smile. He said, "Yes, that's right. By the way..."

"Yes?"

Seeing Willy stammering with his face slightly blushed, Lexx couldn't help chuckling. "Haha, are you too

embarrassed to even mention her nafter asking too much about her? Get her back if you miss her. What's

the use of always sendingto run the errands for you?" Willy was not dealing with the actual matter!

Lexx took out his cell phone as he spoke. Seeing Willy's expression that obviously darkened, Lexx stopped

teasing him. He handed over a document and said,

"She has just posted online to seek a part-thtutoring job. I guess she got to know Carney from this! As

far as | know, his son has always been very rebellious. However, his son like's Miss Heady very much, His grade

have greatly improved recently! The project in the laboratory is still being continued, and it's progressing well.

Furthermore, Jude hasn't sensed anything unusual. It's obvious that Miss Heady uses her own free tto take

up part-tjobs!"

After taking a glance at Willy, Lexx then continued, "It looks like she needs the money!"

Otherwise, based on her indifferent and cold personality and talent, she would not end up taking a job that

requires zero technical knowledge, such as distributing flyers on the street.

"That's right, most of her houses and other properties are frozen. The money from the auction would be used to

compensate the victims. Also, she still has a criminal record with her. She shouldn't even be able to find a proper

job with her criminal record. | guess that she might be too honest, which is why she can't even be picky over her

part-tjob..."

Otherwise, based on Lauren's profession and strengths, she could get a job at either a chemical engineering

company or even teach at a private school, if she had just kept her criminal record as a secret. She could even

earn a lot from those jobs!

However, any chemical engineering company would definitely not hire Lauren because of her record. It was

better to be safe than sorry. They couldn't afford to take the risk. One the other hand, schools were competitive

in order to recruit K students, and the teachers

usually role models. Therefore, their competitors might use Lauren's

criminal record to tarnish the school's reputation once they discovered that. As a result, there was no school that

would take the risk either.

Lauren's current situation could easily be deduced with a little analysis.

Looking at the information on the cell phone, Willy remained silent. She was doing so badly, yet she was still so

stubborn in front of him! How silly and upsetting!

After a while, he returned the cell phone and said, "All right, got it!"

Lexx thought that Willy would give him sinstructions. After waiting for a long time, the only thing that

happened was Willy's expression souring even more, but he didn't say anything more. On the other hand, Lexx

didn't mention the matter regarding Zedd and Elijah as he thought that it was not important at all. He then stood

up and left quietly.

Willy was in a bad mood that day, so he drove around aimlessly after work for a long time. After coming back to

his senses, he realized that his car was stopped at the street where Lauren had distributed the flyers last time.

After that, he got out of the car as something crossed his mind. As expected, he saw a slender figure talking to

two fashionable young women as he looked up. There was again, a stack of flyers in her hand.

"What a stupid woman! Can you even afford to pay for a month's worth of meals or a body-check-up with your

annual salary here?"

Willy muttered to himself as he becprogressively more upset. Lauren was pregnant after all!

Willy didn't know if Lauren had eaten yet as she seemed to have lost a lot of weight!

Truthfully, Willy felt annoyed at that moment. He clenched his hands into fists. Then, he turned around and

walked towards a nearby bakery. He bought a piece of bread, a drink, and scakes. After that, he walked

of the bakery, thinking of how to pass the pastries to Lauren in an appropriate manner. As he looked over, he

inadvertently saw two people chatting happily while eating on a bench. He was heartbroken upon seeing that...
