Chapter 167 Do As I Say
Francis paused and looked up at Harriet who calmly stood there with a professional smile in a businesslike manner.
He asked, "What do you think I should do?"
She was stunned to hear it and said, "Mr. Landau, I am just reporting to you the problems it may cause. Everything is up to you." Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
"Do as I say."
She nodded, "Yes, Mr. Landau. I'll help her ask for a one-month leave."
"You can go out now."
Harriet turned around and walked outward. When she arrived at the door, she looked up at Francis and saw him still reading the document in his hand with his head down. Then, she closed the door and silently left.
After a while, Nelson came in and reported to him about Clyde’s affair.
"Clyde has been convicted of embezzlement. Because he returned part of the money, he was sentenced to seven years in prison."
"What else?"
Nelson hesitated and said, "It is rumored in the company that I brought Ms. Rossum here. I..."
He wanted to nip the danger in the bud. Otherwise, he might follow in Clyde's footsteps after the rumor got more outrageous.
Francis replied without even looking at him, "I know. You can leave now."
Nelson breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, and exited. When he met Harriet at the door, he politely greeted her.
She said, "Nelson, Mr. Landau asked me to help Lilian apply for a one-month leave."
Nelson unthinkingly replied, "I see. Thank you very much."
Harriet's gaze wandered on his face before she smiled, "You're welcome. Do you owe me a favor now?"
Nelson smiled, "Sure. Please don’t hesitate to tell me if you need my help."
"OK! I will tell you when I need your help."
Harriet had the answer in her mind, so she didn't ask any more questions.
After casually exchanging pleasantries, they parted and got back to work.

Lilian had almost recovered. The doctor came to check on her every three days. Most of the time, she sat in the room alone in a daze.
The doctor took her pulse, examined her injuries, and nodded, "Ms. Rossum, you have gotten over your cold. And your injuries have almost healed. However, you are still weak. Don't let yourself catch a cold again. Otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous."
Lilian looked up at him, nodded, and picked up a piece of paper with “Thank you” on it.
The doctor couldn't help laughing every time he saw these two words. He was not mocking her. Instead, he thought she looked cute when she raised the paper.
There were several pieces of papers on the table. In addition to "Thank you," there were other daily expressions such as "You're welcome" and "Sorry".
"Ms. Rossum, please be happy. When you are in a good mood, you will recover sooner."
Lilian pursed her lips and looked at the TV broadcasting entertainment news. The drama had cost 300 million dollars and had a luxurious all-star lineup. The protagonist was Julian. When she stood among the stars, she was in the limelight.
Francis was generous to Julian. When Lilian couldn't even afford the medical fees, he invested 300 million dollars in Julian’s play to help her enter the showbiz.
Julian could do whatever she liked and get into trouble. But Lilian couldn't do anything. At the same time, Francis asked her to wash the dishes. When she worked in his company, he had others look down upon her.
When the doctor called her Ms. Rossum, she felt it was ironic.
The doctor pondered for a while, took out his phone from his pocket, clicked on a video, and showed it to her, saying, "Ms. Rossum, please watch."
Lilian looked away from the TV and looked at his phone.
It was a collection of funny videos about pets. The animals in it were naughty. Some puppies could even dance. She did not know if it was post-produced but thought it was fun.
Watching the video, she couldn't help smiling.
