She was a total knockout.
Her tailored suit fit perfectly, showing off a tall, flawless figure.
"Lily Bai?" Xena Xiao frowned. "She’s the one you’re so obsessed with?"
Shaun Fane’s eyes widened. "No way!"
"She’s married! She even has a kid," Xena snapped, shaking off Shaun’s arm and storming out.
Shaun scrambled after her, "No, no! I was just trying to set her and Secretary Grant up. How did she end up on stage?"
Xena ignored his excuses and slammed the door on her way out.
Shaun didn’t dare chase her. Fuming, he grabbed his phone to demand answers…
...
Lily Bai wasn’t a professional emcee, after all.
But luckily, this kind of hosting was pretty rigid—just stick to the script and follow the program.
She made it through the whole session without a single mistake.
At least the live broadcast didn’t crash and burn.
After the conference ended, every staff member looked at her with awe and admiration.
A real photographic-memory genius—right here in real life.
...
Secretary Grant was sent to the hospital, and after he woke up, he called Lily Bai to thank her.
By then the conference was over, and Lily Bai was about to head home.
"Our team spent half a year planning this Expo, and it almost crashed at my link. Thanks for saving the day."
"If anything, I dragged you into this," Lily Bai said. "If you hadn’t helped me last time, they probably wouldn’t have targeted you."
"Why bring that up now?" Secretary Grant said. "Did you catch who did it?"
"No idea yet," Lily Bai replied. "The conference just ended."
"Honestly, we don't even need to investigate. It's obvious," Secretary Grant said. "Just be extra careful from now on!"
"You too!"
"Yeah."
"How's your body holding up?"
"Other than that, I'm fine—just my neck hurts," Secretary Grant said, laughing. "Could you go a little easier next time?"
"Oh? So you're expecting a next time?"
"No, no, that's not what I meant... Haha! There won't be a next time," Secretary Grant said, clearly in good spirits.
