Chapter 81

Lily smiled silently. So, Jenny decided not to push the subject, “Okay then, miss secretive! Since you have your knight in shining armor to pick you up, I won‘t be your escort then I‘ll take my leave See you!”

Lily nodded and parted ways with Jenny at the entrance of the building As Jenny was backing out of the car park, she turned her head and saw Lily still standing there she was about to ask Lily why she was still there when she saw Lily dashing across the other direction Out of curiosity, Jenny slowed down her car to look at Lily. She saw Lily running toward a black sedan and hopped in. Then the car drove off. The sedan windows were dark, so Jenny could not see the person sitting inside “Gosh! I‘m just too nosy sometimes!” Shaking her head, Jenny smiled. As she stepped on the accelerator, the black sedan overtook her and sped off, “W–Was that a Maybach?!” Jenny felt dizzy when she noticed the brand of the car Lily was in “You smell good today. Did you just shower?” Alexander said as he extended his hand to stroke Lily‘s hair “Yup, I even washed my hair thrice,” Lily announced as she moved closer and leaned against his shoulder comfortably.

Alexander adjusted his posture so Lily could lean on him more comfortably. He gathered some of Lily‘s hair, placed it close to his nose, and took another sniff, “Yeah, it smells perfect.” “I finally passed my test, and now I‘m an official Rebirth staff member,” Lily happily announced as she recalled her conversation with Jenny a while ago. She was proud of winning Jenny‘s acknowledgment by proving herself through her own capabilities. Since quitting MN Inc., Lily had not made any new friends in the industry. She was also weary from her ongoing lawsuit and the bad press that followed suit. Still, she was grateful that Alexander was by her side whenever she had to deal with these exhausting interpersonal relationships Alexander frowned after hearing what Lily said “What do you mean? I thought George already stated that you‘re a staff of Rebirth.”

“S – Sorry, that‘s not what I meant. Anyway, this is just the first step for the company to acknowledge me.” Lily knew that this was only the beginning. Although she got a good head start, Lily needed to ensure she could continue growing so that she could stand alongside Alexander Alexander thought of what Lily said and was pretty confused with how the conversation turned, but he decided to let it slide. All that mattered to him was Lily‘s happiness. “Well, MN Inc.’s factories will be having some issues soon,” Alexander continued while stroking one of Lily’s hands.

Lily had long, slender fingers and a very fair complexion, but her hands were not smooth That was because she had to work in a lab, conducting various experiments and coming into contact with different chemicals. Some parts of her hands were smooth, but the rest were rough. Alexander felt a rough spot on her hand, and he stroked it fondly.

“What type of issues?” Lily questioned while allowing him to play with her hand. “I heard it has something to do with the essential oil used in their fragrances. Their final product couldn‘t pass the approval test, so now they‘re trying to save it. They even called for their staff members who were on vacation,” Alexander explained.

“So, that‘s why,” Lily mumbled. “What?” Alexander looked at Lily and asked.

“Oh, it‘s nothing.” Lily looked straight at him. “Nate and Mel called me today. They said there was something they‘d like to discuss with me in person. Now that I think about it, it might be related to their essential oil problem.”

“Did you agree to their invitation?” Alexander questioned her. “Of course not!” Lily scorned, “I‘m the defendant, and they‘re the plaintiff. We‘re not even supposed to meet outside of court! Besides, I no longer work for MN Inc., so why should I be involved in their problems? There‘s no way I‘ll see them because of this.”

Lily pursed her lips in annoyance. It might have been because she had just taken a shower, but her lips looked slightly darker with a tinge of baby pink. Still, she had a disdainful expression, and Alexander loved seeing it. He moved closer, grabbed Lily‘s chin, and pulled her in for a kiss.
