Chapter 755

Since production at the studio had only just begun, there was little to do.

Lily spent a few days deliberating over the series theme, and that was just for Lisa's order.

She could only begin developing the fragrance once she settled on a theme and basic concept.

In the early afternoon, Lily suggested that Olivia go home and rest while she stayed around to tie up some loose ends and outline the preliminary concept for Lisa's order.

She sat for nearly an hour trying to think of solutions, but all she could think about was whether she should give up the child or her job.

In the meantime, she could not stop twiddling the piece of wood Benedict had given her because of how it smelled.

Interestingly, its scent was not strong but had steadily lingered for a long time.

"Your business hasn’t even started officially.Do you have to work so hard?"

Having the key to the studio, Alexander went straight in and saw her zoning out.

Lily was surprised.

"Why are you here? Got off work early?"

"I've come to offer my labor, but it looks like there’s no need."

Alexander glanced around and said, "Everything looks great.Your equipment should be more complete now."

"Yeah, Olivia helped arrange them, but I asked her to leave early since there’s not much to do here for the time being."

"Then why haven't you gone home?"

He took the piece of wood from her hand.

"What's this?"

"Benedict gave that to me, and I haven't had the time to study it until now,"

She added, "Speaking of which, I’ve not heard from him in a while.He told me he was going to look for some wood, but he had gone missing since.Why hasn’t he returned after such a long time?"

Alexander crouched and regarded her curiously.

"You keep mentioning another guy’s name in front of me.Aren’t you worried that I'd get jealous? Lily rolled her eyes.

"He's just a child, okay?"

"From what I know, he’s already 20 years old and can’t be more than two years younger than you."

He tapped the tip of her nose.

"Also, he talked like an old man."

"Really?"

Lily was a bit surprised that he was not a teenager anymore.

"To me, he’s just a child."

Speaking of children, she grew uneasy.She wanted to say something to Alexander as he twiddled the wood between his fingers, but she could not quite get the words out.

"What's up?"

Sensing her gaze, Alexander touched his face.

"Am I too good-looking that you can’t stop staring?"

"You’re so in love with yourself, aren’t you?"

Although it was meant to be a joke, Alexander was entitled to be in love with himself as no one could get enough of looking at his face.He joined in on her laughter.His eyes met hers and immediately became reflective.

"Has something been bothering you over the last two days?"

An observant man like him would notice that she looked troubled the past couple of days.

"Do you...like children?" She asked tentatively.

Alexander considered her question seriously and replied in the same manner.

"Not quite."

Disappointed, Lily fell into silence.

Seconds later, he clarified, "However, if you’re their mother, I’d love them."

Lily was rendered speechless.
