Spoiled by Mr. Russell novel Chapter 1385

Chapter 1385

However, Lily went up and down but could not find Thompson.

She stood before the elevator, thought about the secretive top floor that no one could enter, and looked up.

The indicator showed that the elevator was moving down floor by floor until it stopped with a ding.

The elevator doors opened, and the one inside was not Thompson but Mike.

They were stunned to see each other in such a circumstance.

Mike recovered first with a smile and greeted her casually, "Good morning."

"Morning."

Lily looked at him.

"It’s still so early, Mr.Corden.Have you just come to work, or did you work overnight here?"

Without waiting for his reply, Lily continued, "Either way, as the biggest shareholder, you’re truly dedicated, aren’t you?"

The elevator doors started closing, and Mike held them open before stepping out.

He looked at her and said, "Lily, we're old friends.There’s no need to talk to me this way, is there?"

"Okay.Since we’re old friends, I'd like to know why you’ve insisted on joining this project.Why must you invest? Do you honestly think it has a good prospect? What is the real purpose of this experiment?"

Lily was curious.

Businessmen like Mike were good at hedging, and he quickly threw the questions back at her.

Lily frowned and said, "Mike, we’ve known each other for so long, and you said so yourself that you’re a friend.Is this how you patronize people? If you don’t wish to tell me or can’t, then don’t.We don't have to go around in circles."

Mike held up his hands as if surrendering and said, "My apologies, but that’s not what I meant.I don’t know much about medicinal herbs and raw materials.I’m a businessman and only care about whether it would make money.I think this medical project has a good future, so I invested.Also, I believe in your capabilities.It’s just as simple as that."

"As simple as that, huh?"

Lily was doubtful.

Even though he sounded earnest, she felt something was not right.

"You didn’t wonder why Alex would pull out of the project if it has such a good prospect? Or why La Beauté Group stopped investing until you got the chance to take over?" she asked earnestly.
