Let's Get Married

Chapter 203 Flirting in Public

In the blink of an eye, it is the end of the year. It is the last day of work in the company, on which they only need to sort things out and submit the annual report summary. Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

In the evening, the company books the best hotel for the annual feast. All employees attend the meeting from the lowest to the high management level, also with the top level of board director. The entire third floor of the hotel is booked, and the cost equals to Lily’s salaries for at least several years.

At first, she thinks to wear casually. However, the old staff in the same group exhorts her to wear a little glamour. She even tells her to wear a dinner dress if she has.

Lily is astonished, “Why should I wear a dress?”

“Our company’s annual feast is very classy. There is a small ball every year, but it’s up to you to participate in it or not. It’s not obligated. Many people delicately dress up. Do you think it is appropriate to wear a casual suit?”

After thinking for a while, it is indeed inappropriate.

Thus, the night before, she picks a long beige dress with lace sleeves out from the ransack box inside the closet. The chest part is designed with fretwork; it is neither exposed nor conservative, and not dazzling but formal.

She feels good and brings it. After arriving at the hotel, the company reserves two rooms for each group. One for males and one for females. It is to make it easier for them to wait and changes clothes.

Lily takes her clothes to the bathroom. The hotel is very warm that after she changes it, she does not feel very cold. Putting on a light gray short fur outside fit was just right.

As soon as she pushes open the door and walks out, the colleagues who are still whispering immediately calm down. Everybody is looking at her and stays quiet for half a minute.

Lacey is the most enthusiastic one, she comes over and carefully touches her fur, “Wow, this is too beautiful, isn’t it? Looking thin yet exposing your white skin.”

Lily is not the girl who has sensationalism, which makes her embarrassed by the attention, “So… is it okay?”

“It’s not okay, it’s too pretty!” Crystal also coaxes, “I really have to say that you’re like a star in this dress.”

“Don’t be so exaggerated.” Lily slightly blushes and quickly hides aside to avoid everyone’s sight.

She looks at the reflection on the mirror. It indeed seems pretty good. She really hopes that the annual feasts will end smoothly and will not embarrass herself.

At half-past seven in the evening, rows of people go to their own floor. Lily and Crystal both are newbies in the company. Thus, they are at the lowest level of the company. The colleagues are also very enthusiastic. Without the usual tension and pressure, everyone is greeting each other.

As soon as Lilly appears, she captures the normal eyeballs. Many colleagues, who have met her before, look at her in amazement. The stunning in their eyes cannot be covered.

Her appearance does not particularly gorgeous but is better than others. Her makeup was pretty simple and neat at work. Thus, everyone is used to it and does not feel that she is that pretty. At this moment, changing her clothes and wearing makeup is like changing the person. She is really gorgeous that they cannot help but keep on looking at her.

Lily smiles awkwardly and quickly checks in and then enters the banquet hall.

A lot of exquisite desserts are placed inside. There are not much to eat, Lily takes one of it and puts it in her mouth, finally feeling less hungry.

After a while, the annual feast finally starts. Her table is relatively far from the stage. The feast is mainly for the leader’s speech, accompanied by various activities such as grabbing red envelopes and sending gifts out.

In the end, there is a commendation session. The door of the hall is opened, Rex takes the lead in followed by others, making the atmosphere becomes tense instantly.

As one of the leading domestic law firms, Han Yu also has many branch offices. It is not easy to see Rex in person even if you are in the same office. Let alone the branch's office.

The man is wearing a dark blue suit with a white shirt on it. His suits are all custom-made. Both alignment and shape outline his figure just right. Instead of a tie, he is wearing a butterfly bow, gentry yet elegant.

Lily’s vision falls on him, her heart is beating a little fast. Seeing him in such a formal occasion is completely different from seeing him at home. The innate leadership and aura of his body only reveal in such an environment.

Whenever he goes, he will be the focal point. This kind of man seems to be born to lead everyone’s steps.

Rex walks to the stage. His brief speech is about summarizing, his future’s vision, and also the gratitude to the staff for the past year. The whole speech is mature and earnest, which makes people feel full confidence in the company’s future. Perhaps, only a good leader can say it.

After Rex finishes his speech, he sits down under the stage. Yet, many other executives speak to him in turn, which is quite long.

Lily thinks that there is nothing else related to her. While whispering to Crystal, she suddenly hears her name called on the stage.

She is a little stunned, she then sits straight and receives everyone’s sight, also hearing the speech from the host on stage, “it is well known that our company had an accident this year. Of course, the final result does not particularly lead to serious consequences. Among them, those who deserve criticism has been criticized, as for those who deserve compliment, we should take this opportunity to praise them. Thanks to our colleague, Lily, that there was no accident. I hope that everyone can learn from her positive spirit of dedication. Don’t think that other people’s business is not your own business. Think about the company and we’ll have a better future…”

The host makes a lot of speech on the stage. And in the end, he mentions her name again, “Next, I would like to award a trophy and bonus to Lily who is working at the headquarters as an encouragement. Please welcome her.”

The crackling applauses sound, Lily is embarrassed, she is completely unprepared. Under everyone’s sight, she braces herself. When the branch leader is preparing to give her the trophy and red envelope, Rex suddenly steps forward and takes it from his hand to hand it to her.

Who does not know their relationship in the company? Even though his movement is appropriate, there is extra ambiguity in the eyes of everyone.

Lily’s face is almost burned through her neck. With a trembling hand, she takes it over from his hand. The man looks at her red face with a smile in his eyes. He deliberately swipes his fingers over her palm which outsiders could not see it. However, Lily’s face is even redder by his flirt. She then quickly withdraws her hand and smiles embarrassedly, followed by a speech, “Thank you for the encouragement. I will work harder to reward company’s cultivation.”

When she gets off the stage, her legs are soft. She wishes to go up and drags down that highfalutin man.

Is it fun to tease her?

Wait till you’re home!

When Crystal sees her huffing, she laughs and says, “How is it, he’s a boss during the day, and a husband at night. Isn’t this feeling wonderful?”
