Tom's arrogance was instantly extinguished.
He squeezed the bottle in his hand and lowered his head anxiously. "I didn't mean anything, I just wanted to teach them a lesson. But Lilia is right. If you really don't want the money, don't take it. Don't worry, everything else is solved!"
Tom's anger came and went quickly.
In the end, he straightened his back and looked satisfied.
Lilia pursed her lips, smiled and asked Vivi, "Where's your money? Has he returned it?"
Vivi nodded while silently staring at Tom, then licked the corners of her mouth. She still had to thank the man. "If it weren't for his help, Ludwig wouldn't have returned my money so easily!"
"He already returned everything?" Lilia was suspicious. Didn't Ludwig say that the company's finances were still insufficient before?
Why did he suddenly pay back her friend's money as soon as Tom arrived?!
Vivi nodded solemnly. "He already gave me all my money. Tom said at the police station that if he could pay me back today, the case of his mother could be canceled, and if not, the police would detain her for a few days."
Lilia immediately realized that it was a good decision to let Tom resolve the issue with Nadine.
At this time , Tom heard Vivi flattering him, then touched the bridge of his nose and gestured. "Never mind, it's a trivial matter. Lilia, too bad you weren't there to see that old aunt cry at the police station."
"What a delightful sight! As soon as Ludwig heard that the police were going to arrest his annoying mother, he immediately went out to withdraw the money. In less than ten minutes, he obediently returned all the money. In my opinion, both mother and son are selfish. Saying they lack money for liquidity is just an excuse!"
While speaking, Tom glanced at Vivi unhurriedly.
In his eyes, Vivi was an idiot!
What kind of bird brain did she have that she believed everything Ludwig said!
What kind of liquidity do small tech companies need?!
Why is there such a stupid woman!
Vivi easily caught Tom's gaze. If her hunch was right, this young master was humiliating her!
She scoffed, turned and looked away.
Their movement was clearly visible on Lilia's sharp gaze.
Tom and Vivi...
This sudden thought made her laugh.
"Lilia, you also think that what I said is very reasonable, right!"
Vivi. "..."
Lilia just smiled, she raised her hand to sort through the messy documents on the table, and turned her head to look at Harold. "Why don't we stop here today? There will be another group coming for the interview tomorrow, right? When all the interviews are over, let's discuss it again!"
Harold stopped writing and pinched his brows. "Okay, let's meet in person at Gaia's multi-purpose hall tomorrow morning at 10."
"No problem, let's go, it's almost half past five, let's have dinner first!"
After Lilia said it, Tom changed the topic. "Lilia, do you want to call Chris? He happened to be in the company today, so he should have finished by now!"
"Should I call him?" Lilia muttered, unable to understand Tom's intention.
The only thing she worried about was whether Chris would be disturbed if they had to eat together!
Lilia was still worried, but Tom had already dialed Chris' phone.
After seeing this, Harold bowed calmly as he leaned in front of Lilia, and jokingly said, "Are you uncomfortable?"
Lilia pursed her lips and nodded sympathetically. The two of them whispered for a while, then Tom had hung up the phone
"Is Chris coming?" Vivi blinked hesitantly.
She went to Gaia for an interview today only, and she was very nervous at the thought of having a meal with Chris.
Tom stared at his phone screen sadly. "Not coming! He said he was in a meeting! Why has everyone been so busy the last few months? I don't know where Alex is, he said he is on a business trip. Jean is also on a business trip. Am I the only one free here?"
Tom's snort floated through the air, and the whole office was filled with silence.
Lilia looked at him with a disappointed look. It turns out that he is a slacker!
Wait, why did it sound that lots of people went on business trips these days?! Is this a trending lifestyle?
Alex is also on a business trip!
...
Ten minutes later, the group left Lilia Studio.
The atmosphere between them is very harmonious thanks to Tom.
Although this young master was very casual, he was also a cheerleader in the circle of his friends.
That night, Vivi insisted on paying for the mini dinner as a token of gratitude and they finally decided to eat at a karaoke place.
This group of four got into Lilia's car.
Tom sat in the front row with one leg on his knee. He looked at the phone and then turned his head and said, "This KTV seems pretty good. The comments on the internet say that the buffet is good. Vivi, have you been there before?
"Once, when Lilia wasn't married, we always sang together!"
Tom said, "Then what about you? Is your voice good? Let me hear you howl for a second!"
Vivi. "..."
Lilia and Harold sat in the back row, looking at them. There was no one else to talk to, and they couldn't intervene.
Harold turned his head and watched the view of the street outside the window. His gaze shifted to the screen of his phone as he narrowed his eyes and asked casually, "Would you like to know about William's movements?"
Lilia looked at him calmly, smiling. "I guess you really want to tell me?"
"Of course!" Harold raised his eyebrows in slight disdain. "This one is a good joke indeed."
"Let's hear it then!" Lilia spoke unhurriedly.
In her impression, the last time she heard about William was when his eye was injured.
Thanks to him, Lilia had suffered quite a serious injury.
Recently, she no longer paid any attention to William. Now times have changed, and when she heard that name Again, her eyes were like a calm lake, and she couldn't make waves.
Seeing her calm eyes, Harold whispered. "William's situation is the biggest joke in the entire circle."
"When his spine was injured, I heard that he bought a lot of pathetic manuscripts. The incident was later disclosed by an entertainment company. Now, everyone in the circle knew that his disability was fake, and no one wanted to cooperate with him. Including "The Chosen Kingdom". After the film was released, they had cut a lot of scenes. In the last few days, an agent I know told me that William was seen in the studio."
"His body seemed to be recovering well, but it was said that it was not easy for him to walk. It looks like his leg can't heal properly!"
After hearing these words, Lilia didn't react at all.
