The senior executive who was supposed to continue explaining the report had already closed his mouth.
In the entire conference room, apart from the occasional elegant and low monosyllabic pronunciation, there was only a woman’s voice coming from the phone speaker.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a woman!
As the call ended, everyone looked at Mr. Cooper hanging up the phone with an oddly curved smile.
My goodness, Mr. Cooper actually smiled after taking a call from a woman.
This was absolutely a once-in-a-hundred-years rare sight!
However, what they couldn’t believe was yet to come…
“Rest for ten minutes, and continue after ten minutes.” Aidan Lucas stood up and walked straight out of the conference room.
He needed to go out and arrange something for the woman.
There was a gasp in the conference room again. What did Mr. Cooper just say? They couldn’t have misheard! Mr. Cooper actually let them take a break for ten minutes!
OMG, last time they had a 5-hour long meeting non-stop, and a senior male executive with bad kidneys couldn’t muster the courage to ask for a bathroom break, resulting in his face turning into the color of a pig’s liver by the end of the meeting!
But now, the CEO himself actually said to let them rest!
The people immediately started discussing intensely, wanting to know who the woman on the phone was.
However, after Aidan Lucas threw a sharp look at them just before he left the room, the entire conference room quickly fell into an inexplicable silence.
Lily Gray didn’t have to wait long outside the shop before she saw a middle-aged woman in a professional suit walking out of the bespoke shop.
“Mrs. Lucas, I’m the store manager of this shop… I’m sorry, our staff didn’t know your identity, so they kept you waiting. Please follow me, and I’ll process your membership right away.”
Lily Gray was led inside, and she soon received a membership card from the bespoke shop.
When signing her name on the registration form, she glanced at the column for her identity, which read: “CEO’s Wife of Royal Palace Group.”
Seeing this title and thinking of Aidan Lucas’s uncharacteristically warm tone on the phone, Lily Gray involuntarily hooked her lips.
“I have an appointment with Mrs. Emily Taylor, could you please take me to her?” She said to the store manager after completing the paperwork.
Her mother-in-law was, of course, Emily Taylor. The store manager, knowing their relationship, led her directly upstairs.
This bespoke shop looked low-key but actually occupied the space of three floors. Emily Taylor was in a VIP room on the third floor.
There were four individual VIP rooms on the third floor, each with three floor-to-ceiling mirrors, allowing the guests to see themselves in the dresses without restriction.
Lily Gray followed the store manager to the VIP room where Emily Taylor was, the manager gently knocked on the door, ready to bring Lily Gray inside.
The people inside the VIP room were laughing and talking, unaware of the store manager’s knock on the door.
As the door cracked open, Lily Gray heard a familiar voice laughing exaggeratedly: “Emily, that Lily Gray hasn’t called you until now. She must have been stopped by someone and ran home out of breath. Such a small-minded person, nowhere near fitting Ethan Wilson. In my opinion, our family’s Grace is much better, generous and decent.”
Hearing the words inside, the store manager, who had always maintained a professional smile, finally showed a slight flaw.
She awkwardly stopped her action, wanting to let Lily Gray step back, but Lily Gray just smiled reassuringly at her and pushed the VIP room door open.
“Mom, I’m sorry, I was delayed on the road and I’m late.” She walked in graciously, looking at the stunned Emma Shaw and greeted her, “So my aunt is here too. Hello, aunt.”
“You…” Emma Shaw pointed at Lily Gray who had suddenly entered, her face a mix of shock and embarrassment from being caught gossiping behind someone’s back..
