Her caring words are like warm water flowing into his heart. Rex answers her honestly, "No, I was busy
the whole afternoon."
"Huh?" Lily glances at the clock on the wall, "It's almost seven o'clock, why don't you eat dinner?"
"I don't have time. I'll see later."
His ‘I’ll see’ most probably means not eat at all.
Lily sighs helplessly, "You can eat a little. What if you are hungry later?"
Instead of answering her, he asks, "What time will you finish?"
"I'll leave after dinner and chat for a while. Around eight thirty."
There is still one and half hours before eight thirty. He doesn’t feel the time this afternoon when he
spends hours in meetings. Somehow he feels the time so slow with this one and half hours before he
can pick her up.
He misses them so much. He doesn’t want to leave them even for one minute. He wishes he can fly
over there.
Even though he is so anxious in his heart, he still says it calmly, "I will pick you up at half past eight."
Lily bites her lip. It's been a long time since last time she gets picked up by someone. She always takes
care of Adair all by herself. She says softly, "Then you remember to eat."
"Ok."
Hanging up the phone, Rex feels bored. He wants to do something to kill the time. After considering it,
he remembers that Orson’s company is close from his. Orson sends a message to him saying that he
will work overtime today. Rex drives directly to Orson’s company right away.
Seeing Rex entering the company's gate, the staff on the evening shift at the front desk gets a little
surprised. They quickly gets up, "Mr… Mr. Rex."
Rex waves his hand and walks in without stopping.
There are many experienced employees who stay at their positions over the past five years. They all
get promoted unless they change their job. When they see Rex coming in, they all come over to greet
him kindly, calling him ‘Mr. Rex’.
The new employee is confused. He asks the person next to them in a low voice, "Is this also the boss
of our company? I haven't seen him before?"
"This is President Rex. You are a law school student, why don’t you know him?"
The new employee is stunned, "This is Rex? I only heard his name. I never met him in person."
"Mr. Rex does not come often. He suddenly stopped working as a lawyer for some reason. He is a
good friend to Mr. Orson."
"That's it."
...
Rex walks directly into Orson's office. Orson is sitting behind his desk reading the report.
Seeing him coming, Orson is a little surprised, "Why are you here?"
"I have nothing to do, so I come to visit you."
Orson gazes at Rex’s body and tweets, "Is it because Lily ignores you? That’s why you come to me?"
Hearing that, Rex pauses for a second while he is holding the coffee cup. He pulls out a very unhappy
smile, "Why do my emotions have to be related to her? Do I rely on her that much in your eyes?"
He doesn’t care when Karl says so, now even Orson has the same idea. They all think he can only
depend on her emotionally, which is so lack of masculine.
"You just realize it?" Orson doesn't mean to let him go easily. “Don’t blame us saying so. All of your
emotions and actions are related to Lily since five years ago."
He is absolutely obsessed with Lily. And no one can change his mind.
"But why do you come suddenly?"
"I was at the company this afternoon, so I come over once I finish." Rex walks over and glances at his
messy desk. "The company must be very busy lately. Look how messy your desk is."
Orson knows that Rex has mild obsessive-compulsive disorder with cleanness. He can hardly bear the
mess on the table.
Orson moves his neck, raises his hand and squeezes his sore cervical spine, "I am busy with my work
and my heart."
Half of Rex’s ass sits on the edge of the table with his long legs props on the ground in a charming
posture. Rex laughs and teases him thinking that he was mocked by Orson just now, "Because of
Abby?"
Orson glances at him irritably, "Why do you have to say it out loud?"
"I don’t mean to irritate you. But how can’t you even get the Tommy Boy to like you?" In Rex's heart,
Abby has always been a Tommy Boy. The reason is that she is always rude to him when it comes to
Lily. And he can’t do anything to her; after all, she is Lily's best friend. And now she has one more
identity, his son's godmother.
Orson feels helpless when he thinks about it, "She misunderstood me. And she refuses to talk about it.
What can I do?"
"Didn't you two date for a while before?" Rex vaguely remembers that there was a time when they were
always together.
Thinking of the past, Orson smiles bitterly, "Were we dating? She was sad because of Lily at that time.
And I happened to be by her side, which was just a comfort to her."
"If you like her, take her. Don’t be a gentleman. Women are like this. She refuses you not necessarily
because she doesn't like you."
"Really?" Orson thinks of Abby’s words when she refuses him. If it is duplicity, she says it too harshly.
Orson looks at Rex who sits next to him and sighs, "Sometimes I even envy Lily. I'm not as good as her
in Abby's heart."
Rex thinks for a moment, "That's possible."
"..." Orson only feels that his mood becomes even more depressed, "Get out. Don’t bother me. I need
to work."
"Anyway, no matter what, don’t hurt her. If you do so, Lily will come to me to take the price. You will ruin
my comfortable life." Rex seems to help Orson, but in fact he is warning Orson and helping Abby.
They are friends for so many years. Of course Orson understands what he means. Orson raises his
eyebrows suddenly, "I remember that you don’t like her?"
“I still don’t like her. But it’s not related to what I said."
"Okay." Orson feels funny and angry, and says, "It seems that I have to kneel down and kiss her ass."
Unexpectedly, Rex glances at him and says directly, "That’s exactly what you should do."
Orson is stunned by what he says. When Orson finically realizes what he says, he really wants to kill
him right here right now. "Come on. You have wife, child and beautiful life now. So you come here just
to insult me, right?"
"As your friend, I remind you to hurry up. Don’t worry to lose face. Just do it."
"This is not like what you would say." Once upon a time, Rex's attitude towards women is really
dismissive. He doesn’t take it seriously no matter how beautiful the woman is.
What is for sure is love changes man.
Rex purses his lips secretly, "Because I have wasted so much time. I hope you can do well, nothing is
more important than having her being around."
When he says it, he really means it.
Orson also takes back his joking attitude and takes it seriously. Abby’s small face flashes in his mind, "I
know what to do."
Rex knows Orson is a good man. After all, most people in this industry are rigorous, or even boring
sometimes. When they go out to socialize, they only talk about work. Abby will have a happy life being
with Orson.
"By the way, how about we go out together with Lily and Adair? I haven’t seen them yet since they
come back." Orson suddenly suggests.
Rex responds without hesitation, "No problem."
