Chapter 131 A Dangerous Encounter

She might not have been paying attention to the affairs of the company, but that didn't mean she was clueless about everything.

Instead of answering her, Francis looked at Lilian and said, "Lilian, give us the room."

Lilian nodded and left the office.

As she walked out, she glanced back at the closed door and then silently looked away.

Nelson passed by and noticed her downcast expression. He asked, "Madam, what's wrong?"

Lilian looked up at him and pursed her lips. She gestured, asking if they could talk somewhere else. NôvelDrama.Org © content.

Nelson instinctively glanced in the direction of the office and then nodded. He led Lilian to another empty meeting room.

"Madam, what do you want to talk about?"

Lilian hesitated for a moment. After looking around to make sure no one would come in, she gestured to communicate. "I just saw Ms. Osborne."

Nelson hummed. "You want to ask about her?"

Lilian nodded slightly.

Nelson said, "To be honest, I'm not quite sure. When I joined the company, Ms. Osborne was already by Mr. Landau's side. I heard they were classmates, but I don't know if it's true."

After explaining the situation, he comforted her. "Madam, don't worry about it. If there were something between them, it wouldn't have happened until now, right?"

Lilian wasn't really concerned about that. She wanted to ask him if he found Harriet and Julian resembling each other.

She just didn't know how to bring it up. It was just her guess, and speaking it out might lead to suspicion of spreading rumors.

Lilian let out a sigh and decided to give up. Maybe she had thought too much.

She gestured. "Thank you, Nelson. This is all I want to know."

Nelson stood up and said, "Then I'll go back to work."

Before leaving, he kindly reminded her, "Madam, don't think too much. You are the most important person in Mr. Landau's heart."

Lilian forced a smile.

Nelson was indeed a capable assistant, fully grasping worldly wisdom.

It seemed that even if he knew something, he wouldn't reveal it to her.

After Nelson left, Lilian sat alone in the meeting room for a while before getting up to leave.

But someone opened the door from outside. The two were surprised to see each other.

Lilian subconsciously took a step back.

Clyde narrowed his eyes, closed the door behind him, and asked with a smile, "Ms. Rossum, what are you doing here?"

Lilian pursed her lips, not knowing how to communicate with him.

She reached out for the doorknob, but Clyde pressed it, preventing her from opening the door.

Lilian looked up at him, puzzled.

Since they were in the office, she didn't think he would act recklessly. But she had underestimated Clyde's audacity.

He leaned closer to her and asked, "I heard you can't speak. Is that true?"

Lilian looked away, trying to open the door, but Clyde grabbed her hand.

Panicking, she tried to shake him off, but Clyde grabbed her wrist and used his other hand to touch her buttocks.

Lilian widened her eyes, her breathing becoming rapid from fear. Clyde could tell she was trying to make a sound but couldn't.

"So, you're really mute." Clyde's tone was laced with excitement.

Mortified, Lilian raised her other hand to slap him.

Clyde was caught off guard and was hit hard. His face immediately fell, and his eyes flickered with anger.

"Stupid mute, how dare you hit me?" He barked fiercely.
