Chapter 118 - 121: Mr. Lucas Doesn’t Like Clingy Women
Lily Gray went downstairs after the dinner but couldn’t find Aidan Lucas. She learned from Ellie that he had gone to the company due to an emergency.
After thinking about it, Lily decided it would be better to discuss the matter face-to-face. In a hurry, she called a driver to take her to the company directly.
This was not Lily’s first time at the Royal Palace Group headquarters. When she arrived, she went to the first floor and followed her previous memories.
However, she was stopped by a guard at the access control point.
“Miss, I’m sorry. This is a passage exclusively for senior executives. Visitors and ordinary employees should go through the other entrance.”
It was only then that Lily realized she had been brought here by Samuel Mckinley last time, and she couldn’t take the executive entrance on her own.
Without causing any difficulty to the guard, she turned around and headed for the other entrance.
This time, she was stopped by the front desk staff.
“Miss, visitors need to register at the front desk before being allowed access. Please fill in your information, the department you want to visit, and the person you want to see. Do you have an appointment in advance?”
The female employee at the front desk noticed Lily’s refined manners and elegant attire, and treated her with a respectful attitude.
The employees who work at this front desk have high standards and are always courteous to their clients, always wearing a professional smile on their faces.
“I don’t have an appointment… I’m looking for Samuel Mckinley.” Lily hesitated for a moment before mentioning Samuel’s name.
She signed her full name on the registration card, but left the company name column blank.
The receptionist took the card, glanced at the registration book, and couldn’t help but look up at Lily.
“Miss Gray, please wait a moment. I will call Mr. Mckinley to confirm.”
As expected from a large corporation like Royal Palace, everything followed rules and regulations.
Lily sat down and waited. After the front desk called Samuel, he personally came down to accompany her upstairs.
It was only after Samuel escorted Lily upstairs that the three female employees at the front desk gathered together to gossip.
“What kind of background does that Miss Gray have? Why did Mr. Mckinley personally come downstairs to pick her up?”
“Who knows, she only registered her name and nothing else.”
“Well, if you ask me, if Mr. Mckinley comes to pick someone up personally, it must be related to the CEO. I think this Miss Gray is prettier than Miss Wellington, and she’s so polite and elegant!”
“I think so too… Oh no, you didn’t mention it, but 1 almost forgot, Miss Wellington is upstairs too!”
“What, when did she come…?!”

Samuel took Lily back to the senior executive entrance, and with the surprised eyes of the guard, they entered the CEO’s exclusive elevator.
“Young Lady, next time you come here, just call me directly, and you won’t need to register at the front desk.” Samuel had just returned to the company to handle some tasks and hadn’t seen Aidan Lucas yet when he received a call from the front desk to pick up Lily.
“Got it, thank you for your help, Mr. Mckinley.”
Lily was overly hasty, almost forgetting that larger companies have stricter rules.
“Young Lady…” Samuel knew about the agreement between Aidan Lucas and Lily, and he had a good impression of her. He thought about it and decided to remind her anyway.
“Mr. Lucas doesn’t like women to be too clingy. If it’s not necessary, try not to come here too often.”
Samuel was just being kind, as he thought Lily took the money and wanted to do a better job.
However, his words made Lily think it was Aidan’s intention.
Lily’s eyes darkened. “I understand, thank you for the reminder, Mr. Mckinley..”
