Spoiled By Mr. Russell By Luminous Night Chapter 629

Justin’s answer was not necessary anymore, as his attitude spoke volumes. Lily got back to her room and noticed that Alexander was not there. She had no idea where he had gone, had assured her, they were on the Lodge family’s grounds, which were perilous at times but but as he mostly safe. Therefore, she should not worry about him.

She had to handle some things urgently, so Lily took out her phone and called Olivia, “Liv, there’s a small candle stick in the safe inside my lab. Could you please send it to the FDA for lab testing?”

“Why?” Olivia had not seen Lily in days. She was overjoyed to hear from Lily, but before Olivia could ask how she was doing, Lily made an unexpected request.

“I need it urgently. Please help me,” Lily added, “Don’t tell anyone about this. You need to do personally, and when you have the results, take a photo of it and keep the report safe with this you.”

“Okay,” Olivia promised though she was still slightly confused.

As a perfumer, they were trained to identify different types of raw materials used in scents, and there was no need for a third party to be involved. However, if this was what Lily instructed, it could only mean something was wrong with the candle.

From Lily’s tone, this issue seemed urgent, so Olivia did not question it any further. Instead, she asked, “Are you still in Kingsland?”

“Nope, I went back to the Lodge family home,” Lily explained.

“Oh, then… are you with Mr. Russell?” Olivia asked.

“Yeah,” Lily replied and asked, “How are you doing over there? Did we receive any new projects while I was away?

“It’s fine back here. We’ve only received some regular orders. They were quite easy to handle, so I’m feeling a bit bored now. When are you coming back? I’m still waiting for you to be back. so we can start creating new products,” Olivia commented half–jokingly.

A perfumer’s responsibility was to continuously develop and invent new product formulas. The most fulling and empowering part of the job was through studying and infusing new materials with others to develop new combinations for perfumes.

Olivia had started trying to create her own product, but it took a lot of work. It was again. proven that one needed to be gifted in this field to invent something amazing. No matter how. hard she tried, the perfumes she could come up with were always lacking compared to those. high–end branded ones. On the other hand, Lily could always make them better when she added components to the ones Olivia had made.

“Yeah,” Lily was unsure how long she had to stay. Even though they had agreed on three days, that was just a date given to Jonathan to prevent him from creating a scene. Furthermore, she wanted to get to the bottom of her grandfather’s sudden death.

Olivia had been with Lily long enough to tell that she was not her usual self, “Are you sure you’re alright? Does this have to do with the incident in Kingsland? You shouldn’t be disheartened. Joining the Perfumers‘ Society is not an easy task. Aside from being talented, you need to have certain experiences as well. It doesn’t matter whether we can join or not. Let’s just concentrate on making better products and earning international recognition. That’ll show them!”

“Why’d you return to your family house right after coming back from Kingsland? Was it to visit your grandfather?”

Olivia thought Lily was unhappy because she failed to join the Perfumers‘ Society. She was in the dark about what happened to Lily in Kingsland and was trying to make Lily feel better.

However, Lily realized that Olivia had not heard about her grandfather’s passing from how she talked.

That was strange. Does this mean that no one knew about it? Was her grandfather’s passing not made public yet?

“Something happened at home,” she paused before speaking solemnly, “My grandfather had just passed away.”

“Your grandfather passed away?!” Olivia’s yell was so loud that people in the room could hear her through the speakers. Lily immediately moved the phone away from her ear, yet she could. still hear Olivia clearly.

“How could this be?! When I last spoke to you, you said he was not sleeping well but was still very energetic, right? Besides… this happened so suddenly!” Olivia paused for a while.

Then, she realized something strange, “Wait, that can’t be! Isn’t your grandfather Mr. Lodge? The news of his passing would definitely be aired on the news, but I’ve not seen or heard anything yet!”

Olivia was an avid fan of gossip news. If Wilfred was dead, it was impossible that she had not heard anything about it.
