You Are My Mr Right

Is this person in front of me trying to buy her?

Lily Winters had always worked in a very upright family before and had never seen such a scene.

But she always understood a principle.

What doesn’t belong to her, she can’t take.

Even if she takes it, she will have to give it back in the future.

The price she might pay could be even greater!

So, she must not be tempted.

Besides, Mr. Russo’s salary for her was not low!

All of this was because of Kelsey Silverton’s efforts on her behalf. How could she do something against her?

She had been working in Rose for some time now, and she had an understanding of the wages of the big employers.

Usually, getting ten thousand a month is considered good enough.

But Mr. Russo’s salary for her went directly to twelve thousand!

And besides cleaning, she didn’t have anything else to do.

Such a salary would surely make many jealous inside Rose.

So, she should stick to her principles.

“I’m afraid I can’t do it.”

“We rural folk only know how to do some cleaning, we really can’t do what you’re asking for.”

Lily Winters intentionally spoke with an accent, pretending to be someone unfamiliar with the world.

Vivian frowned.

She couldn’t understand.

But she heard the word “no”!

“Lily Winters, I believe that if you can work in Rose, you must have your own capabilities.”

“What I’m asking you to do is really very simple, you can easily solve all the problems at home, why wouldn’t you do it? Why do you want to suffer? Are you stupid?”

Vivian couldn’t understand why Lily Winters would refuse such a good opportunity.

If it were her, she would surely take the money and let her son study comfortably.

She wouldn’t have to worry about someone coming to collect debts, what a great opportunity.

“I can solve the problems at home with just a pair of hands, the shopping may be delayed.”

Seeing Vivian’s insistence, Lily Winters didn’t want to argue with her anymore.

She had already made her attitude clear, and she could still tell when someone was sincere with her.

As Lily Winters left the shop, Vivian slammed the table in anger.

Whether she hurt her hand or not, the cursing continued as Vivian left.

Lily Winters didn’t waste any time shopping and bought everything Luna had asked for.

“Lily, thank you for your hard work.”

On the scorching day, Lily Winters’s clothes were soaked in sweat after going out.

“Not at all, not at all. Is Star awake?”

Luna nodded, but today Star was unusually quiet.

Perhaps feeling the security of having her mother around, he hadn’t been making much of a fuss all morning.

Now seeing Lily Winters return, he reached out his hand wanting to touch her.

“I’m all sweaty…”

Lily Winters saw Star reaching out his little hand, but she didn’t dare to hold it, even though she had wiped her hands on her clothes many times.

But Lily Winters was too embarrassed to reach out her hand.

After all, Star smelled like sweet milk all over, while she carried the smell of sweat.

Luna smiled gently, sensing Lily Winters’s awkwardness.

“Lily, why don’t you freshen up first.”

It’s not easy going out on such a hot day.

…

Meanwhile, in Orion’s meeting room, the atmosphere was as cold as midwinter.

“Why was the project proposal this time known to our competitors ahead of time!”

Orion spoke slowly, but the force in his words surprised everyone present.

The bid submitted by Russo’s company this time was only one thousand dollars different from the competitor.

If there wasn’t an insider, not even the janitor at the company’s door would believe it.

But this person, nobody knew who it was.

The company’s audit departments were already investigating, but there were no leads.

There could only be one situation with such a result, this person must be someone from the senior management who had access to the company’s core information and bidding amounts.

Under this tense atmosphere, a man walked in, dressed casually, looking out of place among the elite in formal attire.

“Mr. Russo, the board is demanding to sell their shares.”

Alf Hicks whispered in Orion’s ear cautiously.

As a shareholder of Russo’s, nobody dared to say Alf Hicks’s sudden appearance.

He was carefree in nature, but he was standing on Russo’s side.

But what Orion thought was: the situation is only getting worse.

Once the old shareholders start selling their shares, it would undoubtedly have a big impact on Russo’s stock price.

With Russo’s already losing the project this time, if the stock market becomes unstable…

The anxiety of everyone present surged.

“The blame for this mistake lies with everyone here. The year-end bonuses will be halved this year.”

“In three days, the Qiantang office will be closed.”

“Meeting adjourned.”

Although everyone harbored resentment in their hearts, they had no choice but to accept this outcome.

Compared to being directly dismissed by Orion, having their year-end bonuses halved was already a good outcome.

After everyone left, Orion pinched his temples hard.

“These uncles and aunts of mine, they really can’t relax for a moment!”

He hadn’t resolved the internal problems here, and the pressure from the board had already descended.

“You go and inform them, we’ll have a board meeting at ten o’clock tomorrow morning.”

Alf Hicks nodded and went to deliver the message.

Orion felt extremely frustrated, he opened the monitor, saw Luna holding Star, her eyes gentle and full of love.

His mood slowly eased, he took a deep breath, turned off the monitor, and continued with his work!

…

By the time Orion returned home, it was already late, and he could hear laughter coming from the living room.

Upon entering, he found Kelsey Silverton and Lily Winters soothing Star to sleep, who was still very lively.

Looking at the time, it was indeed time for bed.

“You’re back, sir.”

Luna was the first to notice Orion coming in.

Not being able to see Kelsey Silverton’s lively expression, Orion even felt a bit sorry.

If only he had spoken a little softer just now.

“Mm, how was Star today?”

Orion’s voice carried deep fatigue, causing Luna to furrow her brows unconsciously, he seemed really tired.

“Sir, are you okay?”

“I’m fine, just a bit tired from work.”

“Ahem, Star, daddy’s back.”

Orion approached Star’s crib, who immediately smiled.

Unable to speak yet, Star could only chirp and coo, but he already stretched out his hands towards Orion.

Orion scooped him up and held him close.

“Sir, Miss Silverton is truly the most professional nanny I’ve ever seen.”

These past few days with Luna, Lily Winters could tell that she cared for the child with great attention to detail, just like she would her own child.

As a mother herself, she knew how selfless a mother’s love for her child could be.

“Oh?”

Orion waited for Lily Winters to continue.

Just as she was about to explain, the phone rang at home.

“Mom! Come back quickly!”
