NovelEnglishChapter 1233 After Duncan scared Jessica away, he looked at the closed door and pulled out his phone to call Liberty.
It did not take long for Liberty to accept the call.
“Why aren’t you open today, Liberty?” Duncan coff a bit harsh.
“Seren and | are off to take care of sstuff in our hometown. I'm closed for the day to resolve the ownership issue with our parents’ htoday. What's the matter?” Duncan asked, “Oh. Is it going to be resolved today? Do you need to go to court?” He could give a hand if Liberty wanted to take the Hunt family to court.
“We're settling it out of court. | got to go, Mr. Lewis. Talk soon.” “Sure.” Duncan hung up the call.
Why did he not receive any news about Liberty’s hissue being resolved? She did not tell him anything.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCto think of it, why would she tell him? He was not anybody to her. She had no obligation to talk to him about her personal matters.
With that in mind, Duncan felt a lot better.
Since All You Can Eat was not open for business, Duncan had to rush to the office for a meeting on an empty stomach.
Not too long after he left, Lily appeared at the diner.
Of course, Lily could not see anything since the place was closed. She still had no idea that Liberty owned All You Can Eat.
She cto deliver homemade breakfast to Duncan.
Spotting Duncan's parked vehicle right in front of the diner from afar, Lily pulled up and watched Duncan.
Lily saw Duncan scaring Jessica away.
She even took a photo of them so Mrs. Lewis could identify who Duncan was talking to.
Jessica left in a fluster, but she had a quick exchange with Duncan, so it meant that they knew each other. Lily was confident at first that she would bag Duncan in no time.
Despite Mrs. Lewis‘ heads-up, she remained optimistic while being on the lookout for other women around Duncan.
Lily would study and eliminate any potential rivals. By potential rivals, it was any woman who knew Duncan and had an interaction with him.
She would never go for anything that did not guarantee results.
After Duncan drove off, Lily started the engine and followed him.

“Mr. Lewis, Ms. Harmon is here.” Duncan took a seat and said, “Tell her | don’t have ttoday. I'm going to a meeting. She can look for my mom for anything.” The secretary was without a word.
It was too late.
Ms. Harmon was here and right behind him.
“I want to talk about a partnership with you. | don’t think Mrs. Lewis can helpwith that,” Lily said while carrying two food containers into the CEO's office.
The secretary tactfully retreated out of the office.
With Lily entering the office, Duncan cussed his secretary in his mind for informing him too late.
It was his mother’s fault too. Since his mother brought Lily to stroll around the company, it was basically giving Lily the green light to roam as she pleased.
Alas, Mrs. Harmon was a good friend of his mom for decades, so Duncan was not in a position to kick Lily out. Besides, Lily had not done anything to cross the line. She was merely visiting his company and proposing a collaboration.
