It lasted until Odell took a sip of his coffee. He said to Lily, “These are all my suggestions.”
Lily’s gaze changed. She quickly said, “Okay, Young Master Carter. I’ll have them make the changes
after I return.”
“Mm.” Odell put down his cup. “Let’s end our conversation here.”
When Lily saw that he was about to stand up, so she said right away, “Wait.”
Odell looked toward her.
Lily smirked. The admiration in her gaze at him could not be hidden. “Young Master Carter, I just took
over my family’s business, so there are a few things that I don’t know how to handle. Can I get some
guidance from you?”
Odell frowned. “You’ll know how to handle those matters after you work for some time.”
As he spoke, he was going to stand up. “I haven’t told you about the questions yet, Young Master

promise that I won’t delay your time for too long.”
Odell glanced at the time.
He had been there for almost 20 minutes. He was not worried about Liam. On the other hand, Isabel
did not like to read or study. He had confiscated the phone she liked to play with. He did not know
whether she would be obedient or not.
However, a few minutes only meant exchanging a few sentences.
After a moment, Odell looked toward Lily. “You can talk.”
The corners of Lily’s mouth curved up. She smiled and asked him, “Young Master Carter, what will you
do if you meet someone who made your heart pound during work?”
Odell immediately replied, “I’ve never been attracted to anyone during work.”
“It’s just a hypothetical question.”
“There are no ‘ifs’.”
Odell said, “Does Ms. Springsteen have any other questions?”
Lily smiled again. “Can I have a meal with you tonight?”
“I’m not free tonight…”
Smack.
Sounds were coming from behind him all of a sudden.
Odell was interrupted. He turned his head and had a look.
He saw the two kids, who were supposed to be studying in his office obediently, behind him.
Isabel had slipped and fallen on the floor. Liam’s hands were placed below her armpits as he tried to
help her get up.
Seeing that Odell had discovered them, their actions stiffened. They looked toward him with big eyes.
“Young Master , Young Miss, why are you here?” Lily’s surprised voice rang. Isabel got up with help
from Liam. They walked to Odell’s side. Odell was looking at them with a stern expression. Isabel

you talking about love with this aunty? Are you going to have an affair again?” She got even more
confident as she spoke.
Odell felt a lump in his throat.
Lily’s expression stiffened. After a moment, Odell stood up and carried Isabel in his arms.
He turned back to look at Lily. “Ms. Springsteen , I think you should consult other people on this
question.”
Lily smiled awkwardly. “Sorry for troubling you.” Odell did not say anything else. He exited while
carrying Isabel.
Liam turned around to look at Lily. Then, he went after them.
Lily sat at her place. Her expression was stiff and awful.
Did they not know that their mother had left with Thomas?
Even if they did not know, they should not have eavesdropped on adults like that. How impolite of them!
Odell quickly brought Isabel and Liam back to his office.
On the way, he explained that he and Lily were merely business partners several times.
