27.27 % Chapter 4 Mr. Lewis's assistant had been with him for over five years - basically his mouthpiece . Whatever Mr. Lewis preferred not to say out loud , the assistant would say for him . Ethan clearly understood how this worked . Seeing Mr. Lewis stay silent while his assistant struck first , he knew exactly what that meant . He quickly stood and bowed repeatedly to Mr. Lewis . " Mr. Lewis , this is all a misunderstanding ! Lila just joined the company - she's young and doesn't know the rules yet . " Please don't take it to heart .

Our budget is more than sufficient , and our sincerity is real . I'll rearrange everything right away . " The assistant sneered , pressing in step by step . " A newcomer ? Mr. Reed , is this what your company calls sincerity - letting a rookie take the main seat ? " " Or is it that Grant & Reed Innovations doesn't have a single person left who can represent the company properly ? " The moment Lila realized he was talking about her , she puffed up her chest , refusing to back down . " So what if I'm new ? I'm the bravest little bunny there is !

I nearly spit out my tea . The bravest little bunny ? Was she out of her mind ? Inside the company , her eccentric energy was one thing - but she actually dared to pull this in front of outsiders ?

Now , panic spread across his face . He turned and barked at Lila . " Quiet ! Don't say another word !

" Then he turned back to Mr. Lewis , practically bent at a ninety - degree angle . " Mr. Lewis , this is entirely my fault . I didn't handle things properly . Please , give us another chance -I'll fix it immediately . " He shot Lila a frantic look . "Lila , hurry ! Bring out Master Lowell's teapot ! " Lila froze at his tone , looking completely lost . " What ? " " The teapot ! The one I told you to bring ! " " Hurry ! " Lila's eyes darted away , and she muttered under her breath , clearly reluctant . " But ... didn't you say we'd give it after the deal was done ? " " It's for Mr.

Lewis either way - sooner or later doesn't matter ! " Ethan was running out of patience . " Just bring it here ! " Dragging her feet , Lila finally pulled out an ornate wooden box from her bag .
