Chapter 295
Spoiled by Mr. Russell
Lily was holding something in her hand when she came back this time.
Alexander could not see what it was.
Lily returned to the table with the sample, turned on the table lamp, and studied it in detail.Its fragrance was exceptional.It felt like someone had synthetically made it, but it was not.Its fragrance was utterly natural from the wood itself.She was very interested and wanted to know the source of this wood.
However, it would be difficult to find if the young lad no longer made it.
As for looking for someone...
Lily turned her head to ask Alexander, but she did not expect that he was standing behind her.It startled her, "Why are you here all of a sudden?"
"where should I be, then?"
Alexander's tone was somewhat resentful, "Are you finally acknowledging me?"
"Iâm just thinking about something I canât figure out."
Lily coquettishly tugged a corner of Alexanderâs clothes and said, "I didn't mean to ignore you."
"It annoys me even more because itâs not intentional."
Alexander squeezed her nose.He could not bear to stay angry and glanced at the wood in Lilyâs hand instead, "This is whatâs bothering you?"
"Yup." Lily nodded in reply.
Alexander pinched it with two fingers and brought it close to his nose before taking a sniff.
"This piece of wood is very fragrant." He said with a frown.
"Yeah! You think it smells good, too, right? Most importantly, the fragrance is extraordinary.Itâs unlike the typical sandalwood or other wood fragrances Iâve smelled.I have never encountered this before,"
Lily replied.
Alexander did not find it strange.
"This world is so big.Itâs normal to encounter something you have never seen before.It might be a species you donât know.It is also possible that this was not an original species.Doesnât grafting technology exist?"
"Do you mean plant grafting?"Lily shook her head, "I have seen it before at Middle Valley.The latest raw materials we purchased for the new product are grafted plants.However, this one is different."
It was because of this that she was particularly interested in it.
Seeing her frowning face, Alexander gave it a thought and said, "
Where did you get this? From the same woodcarving shop?"
"yup."
"Thatâs simple.You need to ask the boss where he purchased the raw materials."
Alexander straightened up and felt that the problem was not that complicated.
"No, the boss doesnât know.I got this piece of scrap wood from the part-time young lad working in their shop.I think heâs the only one who knows where it came from.I wanted him to keep some for me, but he suddenly stopped working there."
Lily sighed and felt a little depressed.
"A young lad?"
Alexander squinted his eyes slightly.
The key point he paid attention to seemed different from Lilyâs concern.
However, Lily did not notice it as she was deep in contemplation.She continued, "Yeah.I think heâs not a simple handyman or an ordinary craftsman.I donât know if his sudden resignation relates to this piece of wood."
She picked the wood and looked at it carefully.
Although she did not know if the whole situation was interrelated, she had the intuition that was the case.
"You seem to be very interested in him,"
Alexander trapped Lily between himself and the table with both hands against the table.He leaned down, and his body emitted a dangerous demeanor.
"To be exact, Iâm interested in his wood.However, this lad seemed strange and had a very short temper.Heâs quite interesting."
Lily remembered his temper, like gunpowder that could ignite at any time.
Moreover, he was still a kid.
