"Oh? So this task was assigned by Mr. Cooper himself, huh?" Lily laughed, her smile blossoming like a flower nourished by rain.
The coldness on her face once again bloomed into brilliance.
"Since that's the case, you should just give a straightforward report back. Tell him that I don't want to act anymore. I won't state the specific reasons, and you don't know them either. Hmm, you could suggest to Mr. Cooper that if he calls me himself to ask, maybe I will tell."
Lily's cunning smile made Director Cooper break out in a cold sweat.
"Then, then wait here for a bit, I'll make a call."
Director Cooper didn't know what had come over him; he wouldn't normally dare to disturb Mr. Cooper over such a trivial matter.
