Chapter 513: Chapter 516: Changing Strategy, Pampering the Wife (2)
Lily Gray thought she was here to see Aidan Lucas for a simple negotiation.
But she, evidently, had underestimated Aidan Lucas’s persistence towards her.
Maggie, who Lily hadn’t seen for a long time, led her into the office.
“Young Lady, please sit here, BOSS has a meeting that has been delayed, he will be here shortly.”
Lily Gray wanted to say she was not the Young Lady, but Maggie guided her to the sofa and then left on her own.
A while later, she came back again.
This time, she was holding a cup of milk.
Maggie put the milk on her tea table, “Young Lady, this is the milk BOSS asked me to warm up for you. Pregnant women need more calcium. It’s been chilly outside lately, you should drink something warm.”
The weather in early spring was indeed very cold.
When Lily had come from the outside, she brought with her a chill.
Although she didn’t want to accept Aidan Lucas’s “kindness”, Maggie’s attitude was warm and friendly, so she felt bad to refuse.
“Thanks, Secretary Maggie.”
“No problem.” A smile flashed across Maggie’s face as she respectfully retreated out of the room.
Just after she had left, Aidan Lucas, who was meant to be busy with a meeting, was now standing outside the door.
“How did it go?” Aidan asked in a low voice.
“Boss, the Young Lady probably hasn’t lost her memory. She just called me Secretary Maggie, but I never introduced myself after meeting her.’
This was a test that Aidan had deliberately set up.
Although Lily Gray was on guard against him, she wouldn’t put up an intentional defence against others.
Therefore, as soon as he knew that Lily Gray would be coming today, he made preparations early on to have Maggie test her.
As luck would have it, after Lily knew that she had to meet Aidan Lucas in person, her thoughts had never calmed down.
That’s why she automatically called her “Secretary Maggie”.
Listening to Maggie’s words, the crease long etched in the man’s eyebrows finally smoothed out.
“Good, stand guard at the door, don’t let anyone in.”

Lily Gray had just drank half a cup of milk when she heard a noise outside the office door.
She quickly put down her cup, moistened her lips, and straightened her clothes.
For some reason, she was feeling a little nervous about seeing Aidan Lucas.
The office door was pushed open from the outside.
First, a pair of straight long legs stepped in, then a tall and slender man appeared at the office entrance.
Aidan Lucas saw Lily Gray sitting in the middle of the sofa, staring at him, and instantly felt a warmth in his heart.
His Little Lily, as expected, had come.
He closed the office door and walked towards her.
Lily Gray naturally stood up, her left hand holding her small belly, her right hand reaching out to the man, “Mr. Cooper, nice to see you.”
The woman, with a serious look on her face, was completely professional.
Aidan Lucas’s eyebrows knitted slightly, his inky pupils fixed on her face.
It was as if he was trying to find a slip-up from her expressions.
But to his disappointment, Lily Gray showed no change upon seeing him.
Those peach blossom eyes, usually filled with laughter and affection, were eerily calm at this time.
A sudden tightness in his heart, it felt like an invisible hand was squeezing his heart.
Suppressing the disappointment in his heart, he too concealed his emotions, putting on the authority of the CEO of the Royal Palace Group, he said seriously, “Lily, I’m glad you’re willing to come today. However, I’m afraid you’ve made a wasted trip. There’s no need for further negotiations about our cooperation.”
“What do you mean!” Lily frowned, “Aidan Lucas, are you doing this on purpose?”
