Chapter 134

Lily questioned hersenny in silence, but Jenny was not looking at her as her full attention was on the call. Jenny nodded, saying, “Okay, I understand. Don‘t worry! I‘m coming over right away!” After Jenny hung up the phone, Lily asked, “What‘s wrong? Do you need to be somewhere?” “Yeah, they bought a new bunch of ingredients, and I need to go check on them.” Jenny nodded apologetically. “Then I‘ll come with you,” Lily offered.

“There‘s no need for that. The staff told me to go without you.” Jenny shook her head, fearing that Lily might take it wrongly. “I–It‘s not that they don‘t trust you. It‘s most likely not the company but the client.

Well, we sometimes have strange clients with bizarre rules. Still, they‘re asking for me, and our driver will be with me. I–I‘ll probably just look at some stuff and sign a few papers, so I won‘t take long.” “Sure, no problem. I‘m just worried because you‘re going alone, and it‘s late now,” Lily replied.

“What‘s there to worry about, you silly girl?” Jenny gently patted Lily‘s head and continued,” This isn‘t my first rodeo. Besides, I‘ve always gone on business trips alone; this is the first time someone has been with me. I find it cute that you‘re acting like an overprotective big sister, but you don‘t have to worry about me. I‘ll be alright.”

“O–Okay then. Make sure your phone doesn‘t run out of battery, so you can call me if you need help with anything. Just be careful. You don‘t know who you might meet,” Lily kept reminding Jenny to be vigilant.

“Okay, okay,” Jenny passed the room key to Lily and took off, saying, “Go and rest. We‘ve had a long day. We‘ve still got more sightseeing to do tomorrow!” Lily took the room key and exited the car at the lobby entrance. She waited until the car left before going inside. Since Jenny had more experience with these kinds of trips, Lily was confident that she would be fine. Besides, it‘s part of her work schedule.

What could go wrong?

Lily got into the elevator and went back to their room. Lily was about to turn on the lights after scanning her access card when someone hugged her from behind.

“Who‘s there?!” Lily shouted in surprise, lifted her heel to stomp on the person‘s foot, and swung her elbow. However, the man behind her was faster as he moved, avoiding Lily‘s foot and elbow, “Lily!” The man yelled, Lily‘s heightened senses relaxed as she realized it was the man‘s voice she had been missing dearly. She quickly softened the blow she was about to deliver, saying, “A–Alex? W–

What are you doing here?” She stared at him wide–eyed, trying to make out if he was a hallucination or not.

“I‘ve missed you,” Alexander said in a very matter-of-fact way as he circled his arms around Lily’s waist and pulled her into his embrace. In one swift move, Alexander led Lily into the suite and turned on the lights. He felt happiness washing over him when he saw the delight in Lily’s eyes. Alexander smiled because he knew Lily was also glad to see him.

Lily did something Alexander did not expect. She suddenly placed her arms around his neck, pulled him toward her, and whispered, “I’ve missed you too.” Then she kissed him full on the lips. Alexander raised his eyebrows in surprise. He was astonished at his wife’s enthusiasm as this was the first time she had shown her affection so openly. It was a dream come true. He recovered from the initial shock and began to kiss her back passionately.
