Chapter 138 Lillee's Back With Force
Conrad suddenly cleared his throat as Jane's beautiful scent began to drift into his nose. He doesn't know what was suddenly wrong with him. He looked toward his side and he could see her beautiful side feature and his heart began to pound faster.
"So they would be selling the shares to us as long as we're willing..." Her soft voice was the one that jolted him awake.
"Hm." Conrad quickly replied even though he didn't know what she had just said. He cleared his throat and sat straight. "You can leave, I'll deal with it." He said and quickly hurried toward the bathroom in his office.
Conrad had more than less released all the tension he was feeling, but now he was more confused about the sudden attraction he was having toward his secretary.
On his way home he bought Lillee her favorite snacks to give her but upon arriving in her ward, his mood fell when he saw her sad mood. He could only feed her silently and stayed by her.

And for days and weeks, that was the low mood Lillee was in, she doesn't even remember her parent's court date, so the William's family had to attend their arraignment alone with no friends or family to visit them which was the first in the history of Ryle, but people felt they deserved it. After all, the two had tried to ruin one of their daughters and tried to sell their other daughter to make money. People continued to talk about how the William's couple raised two successful daughters but none of them attended their arraignment which was considered a massive disgrace.
At the end of the day, the couple was sentenced to life imprisonment coupled with hard labor after much evidence proved that they were guilty of their charges.
It was the court sentences that Conrad caught Lillee watching early in the morning. "So I didn't even remember my parents' court date..." She uttered downheartedly. "Lillee," Conrad called and hugged her tightly to comfort her.
Lillee sighed with tears pooling in her eyes, "Conrad. Mum, Dad... They are also gone." she said only for him to kiss her forehead.
"Don't cry anymore, okay? I am here for you." He said, but she only sighed downheartedly and separated from him. Conrad sighed when he saw her retreat into her shell again.
Lately, Conrad had thought hard about what he could do to make her happy, and after some thought he decided on helping her return to her acting career.
He knew that if she returned to being an actress, she'd heal faster since acting is her passion. He had made her lose the baby now he can't let her lose her happiness. Thinking of their baby made him guilty again.
"Lillee, I've thought about it. I will let you become an actress again." He said quietly hoping that he'll see her smile happily at the news.
Unfortunately, she took it the wrong way and instead pale with fright. She took hold of his hand tearfully. "Conrad, are you about to dump me also?" She asked him while trembling with fear.
Conrad shook his head and hugged her while patting her back to calm her down. "No, Lillee. We promised to stay forever, how can I dump you? I only want you to be happy, and I think acting always makes you happy... do you think you are ready to become an actress again?" He asked her and she stared at him hesitantly.
"You won't dump me?" She asked again in a trembling voice, and he shook his head to signify that she wouldn't. Lillee fell silent for a while and after seeing his encouraging look, she gritted her teeth and nodded to him.
"You are right. I shouldn't brood so much, we can have another baby. I will try again. I will act for you." she said with a determination that made him happy.
Conrad kissed her forehead happily before he left for work that morning.
And that afternoon Lillee uploaded online after a long time to declare that she would be returning to acting, which caused a lot of uproar.
Upon seeing that Lillee was able to catch the fans' attention again, many endorsements and offers began to knock on her door. Even the billionaire's deed reached out to her for promotion.
