Married a Secret Billionaire by Breaking Wave

Chatper 1709

After facing numerous rejections, Lily finally entered Daniel's office today to meet him.

He had just concluded a meeting, checked the time, and calculated how much time he could spare for her.

Deliberately slowing down, he figured a brief meeting would be ideal. If he could swiftly dismiss this matter, perhaps

they wouldn't need to converse again.

The thought of Maisie discovering his secret meeting with his ex-wife made him uneasy. He wouldn't be able to

explain himself if she found out.

Unexpectedly, his assistant rushed over and whispered, "Mr. Quimby, Ms. Reyes arrived early and has been

wandering around the office. If you don't show up soon, the entire company might find out she's here!"

Daniel's expression changed. Suppressing his anger, he hurried toward his office.

Although years had passed, neither of them had changed much. The only noticeable difference was the slight chill

in the eyes of a leader who had gained experience over the years.

After some self-promotion from both sides, Daniel decided to cut to the chase. "I'm sorry, Lily. I'm not too interested

in your proposal. I have to decline this collaboration."

"What?" Lily was shocked. "Why?"

Daniel replied directly, "There are many powerful companies in Cumulus City. Why cling to me?"

"Because you're the most capable one!"

His expression changed.

She chuckled. "Of course I know you have a weakness."

Lily had noticed the photograph of him and Maisie on the desk as soon as she entered the office.

Her speculation from the other day was correct. The young woman she had shared a table with at the cafe, who

showed her the outline, was Daniel's partner.

He discreetly moved the photograph on the desk, changing the angle so that Lily wouldn't see it.

"Ha! What weakness do I have?"

"You're still stubborn, huh?" She squinted, thinking, 'Forget it. I won't expose him now.'

"Don't worry. I won't tell anyone about us," she said, smiling. "In reality, we had to get married due to our families'

benefits. We were constrained by that. After we lost that, it was only natural that our marriage had to end. Did you

not... tell her about this?"

He glanced at her, pursed his lips, and said nothing.

"Alright, just think about it!" She got up. "Perhaps you'll be the one begging me to collaborate with you!"

"What do you mean?"

She revealed a cryptic smile. "You'll find out in the future."

"Your overconfidence hasn't changed after so many years, Lily!"

"Hmm... It's been years, yet you're afraid of a woman now, Daniel!"

"What did you say?"

He glared at her.

"Nothing." She forced a smile. "This project guarantees to make money, and it's in the cultural industry you like.

You'll be able to sell a couple of intellectual properties by then and be in the film circle.

"We'll be loaded! I wouldn't have come to you if not for your amazing business skills and generosity!"

He scoffed. "So, you're saying I could give you more money?"

"Perhaps I'm not the only one you'll have to pay by then!"

He frowned. "Lily, why are you being so cryptic today?"

She smiled and left the office, waving with her back facing him. "Call my assistant, Rachael, after you think about it.

I'm waiting for your good news!"
