“Mrs. Lewis.”
After Liberty glanced at the picture, she handed it back to Mrs. Lewis.
After taking the photo, Mrs. Lewis asked Liberty with a warm smile, “Liberty, what do you think of thisgirl?”
She made a point of observing Liberty’s expression to see how she would respond.
Liberty gave her opinion candidly, “She looks beautiful and inspires a lot of confidence. I’d say she’s avery capable and independent woman, very trustworthy.”
Mrs. Lewis noted the calm demeanor in which Liberty answered and said, “You’re very good at readingpeople, aren’t you? I would agree that Lily here is an independent woman. After graduating fromuniversity, she joined her family’s company and started from the foundation, keeping her identity asecret the entire time.
“She climbed the ranks and is now the vice president of the company. It was only after she had beenpromoted to the top rung of the company that people found out that she was the chairman’s daughterand the younger sister of the president. She is a true prodigy and a daughter of a good friend of mine.”
After giving a brief introduction of Lily, Mrs. Lewis asked nonchalantly, “I’m planning to match her withmy son, Duncan. Tell me, Liberty, do you think those two make a good pair?”
Liberty continued speaking her mind rather frankly, “Based on their respective background, it doessound like they would make a good match. I think it’s a good idea since they could collaborate in theworkplace. As for looks, even though Duncan has had that accident, it should be fine once he has hisscar fixed. He would look good next to Lily.”
“I think he would like Lily as well.”
Duncan had built up everything he had single–handedly. He would appreciate a self–made andindependent woman. Based on Mrs. Lewis’s descriptions, it seemed to Liberty that Duncan would likethis girl named Lily.
She thought it was rather intriguing that Mrs. Lewis was trying to match Duncan with the lady.
Mrs. Lewis noticed that Liberty had expressed her opinion with sincerity and made no attempts toconceal her thoughts. She was very natural the entire way through and it would appear that she hadspoken her mind.
With that, she concluded that Liberty was not interested in Duncan!
Mrs. Lewis had a rather low opinion of Liberty and refused to ever consider the prospect of her sonbeing together with Liberty. She maintained this opinion even though she had been steadily losingweight and regaining her previous charms. On top of that, she was building her business and was ontrack for success.novelbin
If she kept this up, she was going to start raking in profit and come out a successful businesswoman.
Even so, Mrs. Lewis did not respect Liberty’s ungainly background. She was a divorced woman.burdened with a child–someone like her was not worthy of her son.
Nevertheless, she found it hard to acknowledge that Liberty had not developed feelings for her son, noteven in the slightest.
She thought about Liberty’s failed marriage. It had only been several months since her divorce and hersituation seemed like it was trending upward at last. With this provided context, it would make perfect
sense that another relationship was the last thing on Liberty’s mind and that she had better things topursue at the moment.
She came here intending to give Liberty a hard time, but her attempt ended up being not very fruitful.She found herself somewhat at a loss.
“I do think they make a good match as well, the problem is Duncan is always telling me how he’s toobusy with work and doesn’t seem very receptive to my suggestion of him spending time with. Lily. It’svery troubling for me. He’s already thirty–six, so he can’t be said to be young and springy anymore.How am I, as his parent, not supposed to worry about his future?” Mrs. Lewis expressed with anexasperated sigh.
Liberty conveyed her sympathy and advised, “Mrs. Lewis, there’s no way to rush these matters, and it’seven worse to try to force it. For now, let Lily spend more time with Mr. Lewis and develop theirrelationship naturally. Things will progress faster eventually.”
Mrs. Lewis spoke suddenly, “Lily’s family name is Harmon, she’s not from Wiltspoon but she came hereto survey the market and get some investments underway. Their family is trying to expand theirbusiness by starting some small–scale businesses.
“I do think there are many opportunities for those two to see each other going forward, especially sinceLily has several projects she’s interested in and plans to work with Duncan. I don’t know how things areprogressing and frankly, I’m not concerned about the business side of things. I just hope Duncanspends more time with her.”
