Chapter 173
Spoiled by Mr. Russell
Lily sat up and looked at Nathaniel with an amused expression. She questioned him patiently,â Mr. Hall, if I remember correctly, youâve been telling people that Ms. Thayer created your companyâs perfumes.
Then, how could I have done something to your formula?
âBesides, since Ms. Thayer created the perfume, she could just make alterations. How could I possibly be able to do anything to your formula? How was this my revenge?â
Nathaniel had expected her to react this way, so he lowered his voice, âLily, there isnât anyone around, so could you drop the act? We all know whatâs the deal with the formula. I admit Iâve used you, and Iâm sorry. Still, youâve almost destroyed my company. Now that youâve left for Rebirth and doing well there, I wonât ask much of you. I hope we can forgive and forget. How about that?â
This was already his most significant concession. He would not press charges on what Lily had done, and she should not continue to hold grudges against him for his past mistakes. In his opinion, this was the best outcome for both of them. Lily was silent and looked at Nathaniel as if she had never known him. How could he be so shameless and entitled? He was not at all sorry for everything that he had done. Not only that, he even dared to act like the victim. Nathaniel was such a shameless man!
âNow youâre admitting I created all of MN Inc.âs previous perfumes and essential oils?â She asked mockingly without responding to his previous request.
âIâI...â
When Nathaniel was about to refute, someone came up from behind and called out to Lily,â Lily, Iâm back!â
He stopped talking as a woman approached to stand next to Lily. She placed a hand on Lilyâs shoulder and announced, âGotcha! Now, you have to introduce your boyfriend to...â
Her smile froze as she turned cheerfully toward Nathaniel, âItâs you!â
Of course, Jenny recognized Nathaniel and was startled to see him there. He was no boyfriend of Lilyâs. Instead, he was her ex.
Jennyâs genuine smile turned into a smirk as she remarked sarcastically, âTo what do we owe the honor of MN Inc.âs director being here?â
Nathaniel was shocked by how fast Jennyâs expression changed. He was also confused with her behavior. Last he checked, he had never crossed paths with Jenny, so why did she look at him like he owed her a million dollars?
Could it be because of Lily? That was impossible! Lily had only recently joined Rebirth, How could she be able to befriend someone so soon? She was not even a popular person to begin with âHi, Iâm Nathaniel Hall, and you are?â Jenny looked familiar, but he could not tell who she was.
This didnât faze Jenny. She gave him a hasty smile and turned toward Lily, âIâve got something unbelievable to tell you!â
âWhat is it?â Lily smiled at her, Jennyâs appearance disrupted her original plan, but she was still delighted to see Jenny as Lily wanted to escape the annoying pest. âErm... Urgh, I forgot!â After giving it some thought, Jenny realized that her mind was blank. Jenny thought she could finally catch Lily with her boyfriend, but it was only Nathaniel. This exchange made her forget what she had planned to tell Lily. This realization made her angry. In annoyance, Jenny immediately turned to Nathaniel, âItâs all your fault!â
Nathaniel was speechless at her reaction.
