Chapter 698: Chapter 701: Lily Gray’s appearance surprises the board of directors.
Madame Lucas pushed the woman dressed in a light pink professional suit in front of Director Holbrook.
Director Holbrook did not understand Madam Lucas’s intentions and could only look at the woman in front of him.
The professional suit perfectly outlined her slender figure. Her long hair was tied up behind her head. Her uplifted peach blossom eyes made her already gentle and beautiful face even more charming.
At first glance, Director Holbrook held an attitude of disdain.
Although he felt guilty facing Madame Lucas.
But seeing Lily Gray in front of him immediately made him throw that guilt to the back of his mind.
Humph, she is indeed just a pretty vase.
Isn’t she just more attractive and softer than other women?
For a woman like this, as long as you got money and power, you could find as many as you wanted.
He really didn’t understand why the Lucas family insisted on supporting a woman like this.
Just as Director Holbrook was about to start criticizing, he saw Lily Gray give him a slight smile.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
The corners of her eyes curved downwards, those charming eyes immediately floated a light easing smile.
It was a peculiar feeling.
Even though this was their first meeting, seeing her smile gave Director Holbrook an unusually comfortable feeling.
It seemed like his irritable temper had been soothed by her gentle warmth.
This woman unexpectedly gave a rare favorable impression.
Not the kind of favorability a man has for a woman, but inexplicably made people feel at ease and comfortable with her smiling face.
Lily Gray had psychologically prepared for everything on the road here.
Madam Lucas’s training was not to be underestimated, and she was her role model.
Lily Gray knew very well, at this time, what she should be doing.
She reached out to Director Holbrook and extended an olive branch.
“Hello, Director Holbrook. I’m Lily Gray, Ethan Wilson’s wife. I’ve long heard of your great reputation and always have admired how you built the Holbrook Logistics Empire from scratch. It’s indeed my honour to see you in person today.”
Lily Gray extended her hand. Even though he originally looked down upon her background, when she could mention his achievements right off the bat, Director Holbrook immediately felt somewhat inflated.
In addition, Lily Gray’s smile was amicable, her eyes clear and bright. There was no hint of the typical insincerity found amongst businessmen when she spoke.
When she said she admired how Director Holbrook had built his empire from scratch, she made it seem genuine.
When she said she had been wanting to meet Director Holbrook, combined with her sincere attitude, it looked as though it came from the heart.
Moreover, although she was enthusiastic and friendly when speaking, her demeanor was neither inferior nor superior.
When she gave compliments, there was no flattery or annoying feeling, instead, there was a sincere meaning hidden in her straightforwardness.
This type of compliment instantly went straight to the heart of the receiver.
In an instant, Director Holbrook let go of the dissatisfaction in his heart towards Lily Gray.
If he previously did not understand why the Lucas family would think so highly of Mrs. Lucas.
Now, he finally understands.
Such a charming woman, if it were him, he wouldn’t give her up either due to the obstruction of outsiders.
She was sociable, and she maintained an elegant and calm demeanor, revealing friendliness and kindness between conversations, without any trace of flattery or vulgarity.
With such a leading lady, marrying her was absolutely a blessing for any man.
Given time, once Mrs. Lucas has a solid footing in industry, just by using ‘diplomacy’, she will be able to win over many affiliations and favorabilities for Mr. Lucas Scott.
Initially, Director Holbrook was disappointed by Aidan Lucas’s decision due to Theodore Lucas’s subtle instigation, which was why he supported Theodore Lucas at the board meeting.
But now, after seeing Lily Gray in person, unknowingly, his position changed.
