Ch. 211..220

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 211

“And you are...” Only at this point did Olivia realize something was off.

“It‘s going to be cold tonight. Here are Ms. Christian‘s jacket, blanket, and some food. I will trouble you to hand it to her.” Edward stepped in front of Olivia, saw her stunned expression, stuffed the items into her hands, then turned around to leave.

After all, his job was to deliver the items. Ile did not necessarily have to see Lily.

“Huh, you...” Olivia returned to her senses. This person was tall and had long legs. Within three steps, he was already in the elevator.

Olivia returned to the lab with the items in her hands. She saw Lily sitting there, concentrating on her sample. “Delivery!” Olivia shouted from outside the door.

Lily heard the noise. When she turned around, she saw Olivia carrying two large bags. She was surprised. “Didn‘t you go to wash your face? Why is there delivery? That‘s very efficient of you.”

‘What delivery service had a speed like this? She was barely gone for a few minutes.‘ “I didn‘t make any orders. Your guardian angel delivered these.”

Suddenly, Lily understood. Late at night, Alexander sent so many clothes and food. He was so concerned about her. If he was not her guardian angel, then who was he?

“What guardian angel?” Lily did not get it. Next, she opened one of the bags and discovered her jacket and the blanket. She instantly guessed who the items were from.

Didn‘t Alexander say that they would not make their relationship public? Now, he brazenly walked into her workplace. Even if it was only for a short while, he might have bumped into her colleagues. “Where is he?” Lily asked as she stuck her head out to look.

“He‘s gone.” With a wave of her hand, Olivia saw Lily‘s reaction, which confirmed her suspicions. “So it was him?! Why so concerned? You make it seem like he has three heads and six limbs. He looked pretty ordinary. He knows to care about you and think on your behalf. That makes him better than most lousy men out there.”

Lily pouted. “Incomparable.” After experiencing the best, there was nothing not to love about this. It was incomparable. “To compare Nate against Alex? Please, they are nothing alike.‘ Lily‘s face was full of disdain, and she looked anxious.

Olivia could not help but laugh. “Right, right, incomparable. Although I think he looks a little ugly and is awkward in how he speaks and does things, he deserves credit for coming all the way here in the middle of the night to send you food and clothes.” Lily was speechless.

She thought of Alexander‘s halo–shrouded, elegant demeanor. She thought of Olivia, referring to him as ugly.

‘Looked ugly and dumb in the way he did things? Was Liv describing Alex? Is there something wrong with her eyes or her aesthetic sensibilities?‘ “Olivia, is there something wrong with your taste?” Olivia did not know what to say,

“Lily, even if I used inappropriate terms, you cannot attack me personally like that. You can criticize other things, but my taste is excellent.” Olivia thought about the man she had just met and decided that her description was on point. Lily thought about it. Perhaps when it came to aesthetics, everybody had different standards of beauty. She could not expect everybody to have the same taste as her.

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 212

Perhaps Olivia‘s taste was a little not so mainstream.

“Whatever. You‘re hungry, so come have some food.” The takeout in the bag was still hot. Incidentally, Lily was feeling hungry. She decided to take the food to the table outside to eat together.

She no longer focused on this question. However, Olivia was still fixated on the “Is there something wrong with your taste?” remark. Even after they sat down and picked up their cutleries, she could not help raising her head and asking, “Which part of my description is inaccurate?”

Lily was speechless.

“Fine, then tell me, in what way was he awkward in the way he does things?”

Thinking about it, Lily decided that things like appearance were in the eyes of the beholder. However, the way Alexander did work was far from awkward.

“I asked him who he was and why he was here, and he took ages to answer me simply that he was from the company. Think about it. We‘re talking about me. Not long after I arrived, I met everybody here. With one look, I could tell he was not from the company. Let‘s not even talk about other things. He tried to bluff me over something like that. Is that awkward or not?”

Olivia analyzed, “If he‘s here for you, then be bold about it. There is no need to fabricate some lie about being from the company. What a ridiculous excuse!”

After she finished her rant, she noticed Lily did not say anything. She worried that Lily was angry, so she explained carefully, “Nonetheless, this could mean that he‘s an honest person since he can‘t even lie.”

Olivia did not know Lily was wondering about what she said, imagining Alexander saying this in front of the media.

Indeed, Alexander was from the company. That much was true. However, not many of the lower–ranked people had met him. For example, even Jenny had only met him a few times before, let alone the ordinary employees. Olivia had only just arrived. It was reasonable that she did not know him.

His behavior was a little awkward now that Olivia had mentioned it. “W–What about being ugly?” Lily asked after thinking for a while. Even if this caused a misunderstanding regarding looks, could their sensibilities be that different?

“I–I was telling the truth. Lily, don‘t be angry,” Olivia clarisied after some hesitation. No matter what, Alexander was Lily‘s new boyfriend. It was a little inappropriate to criticize him like that. Furthermore, Olivia was currently eating the takeout that he had brought.

“No, I‘m not angry,” Lily denied with a nod.

However, this was mere chatter. Lily knew Olivia did not have ill intentions. She wanted to clarify because she was curious about how other people saw Alexander.

In the past, she had seen many magazines and media channels introduce him as resolute, decisive, and ruthless. As for his looks, he was known as a national treasure. Online sources might dunk on him for his methods or for being cold, but never over his looks.

Lily was mesmerized by his looks and was utterly smitten. In contrast to her, Olivia was a different case. Thus she just listened.

“Actually...” Biting her cutleries, Olivia thought of the man‘s looks again. “He looked fine.”

Lily‘s eyelashes fluttered. Finc?!”

“If you look carefully, he is quite good–looking. It‘s just that his face is a little too squarish. If he were skinnier, he would look better. He is tall and looks stout, but that‘s good because he can protect you.”

Squinting lier eyes, Lily compared her description to Alexander‘s face.

‘Is Alexander‘s face too squarish? Did he look stout?‘ “Are you sure we‘re talking about the same person?” Lily started to get suspicious.

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 213

Lily was confused when Olivia asked, “Wait! How many boyfriends do you have?” Lily stared at her, and Olivia immediately shut up

Olivia then frowned and wondered, “If we‘re not talking about the same person, then it‘s not your boyfriend who came to deliver things just now? That‘s impossible! Ile was carryin so many things, including your personal stuff, in the middle of the night. He didn‘t even say anything He just assed them to me and left.”

Listening to this, Lily had somewhat figured it out. She glanced at Olivia and said, “Wait!”

She pulled out her phone from her pocket. Lily did not have any photos of Edward, and she could not locate any online either.

Glancing at Olivia, who was staring at her, Lily opened WhatsApp and sent Alexander a text,” Send me a photo of Edward.”

If she guessed correctly, it was probably Edward who came just now instead of Alexander. If Alexander came over in person, he would not leave after giving her things to Olivia. This was not his style.

“Wait a minute!” Lily told Olivia.

After Lily sent the message, she waited for Alexander‘s response. Since Alexander asked Edward to deliver her something, he was still awake. Lily had no idea that not only was he awake, but he was parked on the road close to the lab.

The black Porsche was just parked there quietly. Alexander sat in the car and closed his eyes. Knowing that Lily was staying up late tonight, he could not sleep alone at home. Since the Weather suddenly got cold, he came over to give her some of her items.

He knew the importance of the final stage of the experiment, so he didn‘t bother hier and only instructed Edward to send things up.

His phone rang twice. Alexander opened his eyes, glanced at the text on the screen, and frowned

Edward was clueless in the driver‘s seat, but his instinctive vigilance still made him feel a chill on his back. He glanced at the rearview mirror, met liis boss‘s deep and unpredictable eyes, and was stunned, “Boss?”

Staring at him for a while, Alexander looked at his phone screen again, ensuring that his wife asked for his assistant‘s photo and not his own. His eyes darkened, and his voice deepened,” Edward, turn around.”

Edward was perplexed. “Turn around!” Alexander repeated. Edward could sense the impatience in his tone. He didn‘t know why but he still obeyed the order and turned around. His boss raised his phone at him and snapped a photo.

Edward was even more confused, “Boss?”

Cold sweat broke out of his neck. Why did Mr. Russell snap a photo of him? Was lie about to send him on some special mission and was afraid he might not make it back?

Soon, Lily‘s phone flashed, she opened it and s.aw Edward‘s headshot. The photo was a close up and was clear enough to see the still lines on Belwarel‘s face. When she looked closely, it was consistent with what Olivia lad described ile had a square face, thick cyebrows, and big eyes. He also looked a bit fierce

Feeling more convinced that her instinct was right, she showed the photo to Olivia, “Was that him?” At a glance, Olivia couldn‘t stop nodding, “Yes, that‘s him! Is he not your boyfriend?!”

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 214

“It‘s not him.” Shaking her head, Lily continued to cat with a sighi

What the hell? It was alla misunderstanding: Recalling liat she had just compared Olivia’s description of Edwind to Alexander. Lily Colt silly.

Although the shot was bluny, Lily could tellilul Alexander was in the car with Edward because he replied quickly, and the photo looked like it had just been taken.

Before Lily could figure out where he was, she received another text from Alexander, “Do you Want more

Lily knew he meant Edward‘s photos, so she quickly replied, “No need, that‘s enough.”

Why would she need so many photos of Edward? she just wanted to show Olivia to clear up their confusion. Then more texts came.

“Are you sure you don‘t need it?” “Don‘t you want mine?”

“Pfft... Cough...” Seeing the last text, Lily spat out a mouthful of water, choking and coughing. Although it‘s just a line of text from the cold phone screen, she could feel Alexander‘s unhappiness. Was he complaining that she didn‘t ask for his photo?

“Are you alright? Why‘d you choke on your water?” Olivia quickly patted her back and was curious, “Who are you chatting with? By the way, who was that, if not your boyfriend? Why did he come here just to pass you something so late at night? Also, why do you have his photo?

The more Olivia thought about it, the more suspicious she was. Something didn‘t seem right, but she couldn‘t tell what it was.

Lily coughed and waved her hands. She had to appease Alexander first. She picked up the phone and quickly replied, “It‘s enough for me to have you. Why do I need your photos?” Alexander was sitting in the car, looking at the text on his mobile phone, and the corners of his tight lips finally revealed a smile.

In the driver‘s seat, Edward was observing his boss from the rearview mirror in horror. He was looking severe for some time, and now he was smiling. What was going on? “I‘ll take photos of you when I return, okay?” Lily added, hoping that this would be enough to please him.

Alexander was finally satisfied. “Okay!”

Seeing that response, Lily breathedasich of relief. She felt something behind her, and when she turned around, she saw a big liead and jumped in shock.

“Tsk...” Olivia smacked her lips with acringing face, “I didn‘t expect you to be cheesy. Oh my, I‘ve had enough!”

Lily stood up and patted Olivia‘s head casually, amused. “Okay! Hurry and work when you‘re done eating! Clean up here, and I‘ll check if the results are out.”

“Okay, I’ll clean up! Let‘s finish our work quickly. Then you can go home and take photos with some peace of mind!” Olivia teased her and continued, “By the way, why‘d you show me the photo of that guy? You should show me your boyfriend‘s photo instead!” “It seems like I didn‘t give you enough workload!” Lily looked back at her, hand on the door frame.

“I‘ve been working overtime with you all night, so I think this is my reward!”

While cleaning up the trash, Olivia remembered the chat window on Lily‘s phone screen and couldn‘t help but ask, “By the way, who is Alexander Hall? Why does the name sound so familiar?” Lily was stunned.

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 215

Olivia stood up to throw away tlic trash and approached Lily, trying to remember. The name seemed familiar; she should have known it but could not recall it immediately.

Seeing Olivia thinking hard, Lily raised her hand and patted her shoulder. “It‘s the President of La Beauté Group.” “Oh... That‘s right! i knew I had heard this name before! It‘s the President of La Beau...” Olivia choked on her own words. She looked at Lily in shock, her eyes full of disbelief.

Her reaction did not surprise Lily, She had expected it. In fact, Lily was impressed by her own boldness. She was unsure why Alexander would agree to her “proposal.”

Even then, Lily could not figure out why Alexander would help and pamper her like this. However, her status as Mrs. Russell was very much real. “La Beauté! The President of La Beauté?!” Olivia swallowed hard and finally finished her words.

She could not comprehend this piece of information. It was utterly earth–shattering to her. Olivia only knew that Lily had found a new boyfriend, but she didn‘t know his identity would be so shocking

“Lily, are you...” Staring at her tightly, Olivia asked, “You‘re not his mistress, are you?”

Lily was speechless and lightly slapped Olivia in the face. “Is that what you think of me? What are you talking about?”

“Ah, it hurts! I‘m sorry, I shouldn‘t have said that!” Olivia cried in pain and quickly held Lily‘s arm, apologizing to her, “I was so shocked! President of La Beauté... How could it be him?”

Olivia still could not believe it. “Lily, are you telling the truth? Is he your boyfriend? Are you really dating?” Not that Olivia was nosy or that she looked down on Lily. She just could not comprehend how these two people were connected. She needed some time to digest. Alexander Russell was almost legendary. Olivia never expected to have anything to do with such a person, let alone Lily‘s boyfriend.

Lily did not intend to tell Olivia, but Olivia had already seen their texts. Even if she did not let her know, Olivia would still recall the name “Alexander Russell” someday. It might cause more trouble thien. Lily might as well liave come clean now. After all, she trusted Olivia and believed she would not spread it around.

“Yeah.” Lily nodded and continued, “Don‘t tell anyone about this, Liv. We don‘t plan to make it public.” “Oh.” Olivia initially agreed, but after liearing what Lily said, slie couldn‘t help but ask again,” Why?! Aren‘t you two in a normal relationship? Why don‘t you want to make your relationship public? Does he refuse to acknowledge you? Is he serious about you?” A series of constant questions from Olivia made Lily regret not using a nickname for Alexander in her contact list. She did not expect Olivia to see it!

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 216

If Olivia, who had been by her side for years, reacted that way, Lily could not imagine how shocking this news would be to others.

This proved that the relationship between her and Alexander could not be made public just yet.

“No!” Putting lier hands on Olivia‘s shouklers, Lily said patiently, “Listen to me. You know very well what his status is like. If I made our relationship public, can you imagine the effects on my current situation? It‘s hard even for you to accept it, let alone other people. I wouldn‘t be able to deal with that kind of publicity and gossip. There‘d be no time and energy left for me to do what I want.”

“It‘s not that I can‘t accept it. I just didn‘t expect...” Olivia quickly explained. How could she not accept it? She would be the first to be happy for Lily if it were true! “I understand, I understand! Still, not everyone thinks like you,” Lily interrupted her, “With his status if this were made public, it‘d be hard for the both of us. Before that, I want to work harder and achieve a little more. At least, I want to be comparable to him.” After listening to her explanation, Olivia finally understood. She nodded slowly and said,” Lily, I believe in you. You can do it!”

“Yeah.” Patting her on the shoulder, Lily turned to check the experiment‘s results.

A beep came from the computer, and the data results were printed. The entire laboratory was filled with a faint fragrance. The scent was a welcome sign of success.

Bending down, Lily stared at the data from the computer. She read it carefully while Olivia walked over and focused on checking on the samples. Both of them devoted themselves to their work.

After a while…

“Success! Success!” Olivia exclaimed excitedly, “Lily, it‘s a success!” “Yes! The data results meet the requirements, and the scent is what I wanted exactly. We succeeded! We did it!” Lily was ecstatic. Compared to Olivia‘s excitement, Lily felt euphoric. The feeling was indescribable to her.

This was the first new perfume she concocted by herself after leaving MN Inc., and it was a bold attempt. She hoped this perfume would shine at this year‘s annual competition.

“Great! All those days of hard work finally paid off!” “Keep the samples and the experimental data in order. Put them in the filing cabinet and lock them. We can call it a day!”

Looking at the time, it was not too late to go home, although it was already morning.

“Okay, I‘ll do it right now!” Olivia was quick at work.

She started packaging and preserving the samples, then cleaned up the lab immediately. She stored the precious samples carefully, fearing that any slip–up would ruin everything.

Lily straightened up, turned off the power in the lab, and washed her hands. When she came out, Olivia had already put everything away The two saw the joy that could not be hidden on each other‘s faces. This was the sense of victory, lighting side by side. Walking side by side toward the clevator, Olivia tried to book a ride from lier phone. “It‘s so late now, and I don‘t know if I can still get a cab, Let‘s take one together. It‘ll be safer that way. What do you think?”

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 217

Lily did not answer because she saw a car parked not far away across the road. The car was incredibly attention–grabbing at this lour and on this part of the road. The car‘s backdoor was wide open, and a tall man came out.lle stood there for a while, then turned to walk toward Lily.

“Lily?” Since Lily did not answer, Olivia called her name again. She followed Lily‘s line of sight and saw a man walking toward them. Olivia squinted to see the man getting closer. Even though it was late at night and the duo was under the dimn street lamp, Olivia could still see the man‘s figure and facial features.

Olivia thought the situation resembled a masterfully crafted scene from a movie. The man was ordinary, but he seemed sliining, and no one could take their eyes off him. Even if there was no introduction and Olivia had not met this person before, she could tell who this person was from Lily‘s reaction and the way the two were gazing at each other.

“So, it was you, after all,” Lily said.

She could guess Alexander was nearby the lab from the things Edward sent earlier, the way Alexander responded to her texts, and the photo he sent of Edward. However, Lily was focused on her experiment‘s last stage and could not afford to get distracted.

“Why aren‘t you wearing the clothes I brought you?” Alexander disapprovingly frowned when he noticed Lily was only wearing a long–sleeved shirt. Then he took off his jacket and put it on her.

“I was busy, so I forgot to put it on. It would seem I don‘t need it now,” Lily said while tugging at the jacket Alexander had put on her. She could feel its warmth.

“Can we go home?” Alexander asked.

Lily nodded, then turned to look at Olivia.

Olivia stood there with her mouth agape as she looked straight at Alexander. It seemed she was in shock Lily was a little amused but knew this was a normal reaction.

Lily felt silly that she wondered if Olivia liad unusual taste in men. How could she? Everyone would agree that Alexander was naturally gorgeous.

“Olivia, let‘s go together! It‘s hard to get a cab this late. We‘ll send you home.” Lily said.

Hearing this, Olivia shook her head repeatedly, “No, no, I‘ll just get a cab. I don‘t want to be your third wheel. You go ahead and don‘t worry about me. Seriously!”

“Don‘t be silly. It‘s so late at night. How will I know if you‘d be safe?” Lily put her arms around Olivia‘s shoulders and walked Olivia toward the car.

Olivia could not break free, so she had no choice but to follow Lily toward the car. On the other hand, Alexander looked helplessly at Lily and Olivia’s backs, following closely behind. Lily opened the car door, and the inside was much warmer than the outside. Edward tilted his head and called out, “Ma...”

Then he spotted Olivia from the corners of his eyes since she was the first one to enter the car. Edward was stunned.

“I–It‘s you!” Olivia pointed at Edward and covered her mouth immediately after, recalling she was in someone else‘s car. Although she covered her mouth, her eyes were wide open as she stared at Edward. Many thoughts flashed through her mind, and she quickly figured things out.

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 218

“He’s Mr. Russell’s driver! Of course, Edward was the one who sent the things for his boss.’ It was no wonder Olivia mistook Edward for Lily’s boyfriend.

“Thanks for sending me things just now, Edwarel,” Lily said after entering the car. She had not seen Edward just now but knew she had to thank him for sending things so late at night. “You’re welcome, Madam,” Edward responded to Lily as he glanced at Olivia. Then he turned around and put his hands on the steering wheel.

“By the way, this is Olivia. She’s my assistant and best friend,” Lily thought she should formally introduce the two, “Liv, this is Alex’s assistant, Edward.”

Olivia nodded. She noticed Edward was facing forward without looking back, so she leaned over and patted his shoulder, saying, “I’m sorry!”

Edward was taken aback and turned to look at her, “What?”

“I didn’t know who you were. I thought you were a mole who sneaked into the lab, so I was rude to you. I’m sorry!” Olivia had a carefree personality, and she was not petty. She had a terrible attitude earlier because she tlought he was there to steal commercial secrets. She wanted to apologize since it was clearly a misunderstanding.

Besides, Edward was the one who delivered the takeaway she liad eaten earlier.

Edward probably did not expect Olivia to apologize. Since a girl had greeted him so kindly and even took the initiative to apologize, he could not justify not responding. It was just that he was not quite used to such a situation, so lie nodded stiffly, “D-Don’t worry. It’s all right.”

Olivia grinned, revealing a big bright smile.

Edward turned his head back, sat upright, and held the steering wheel. At this moment, Alexander also got into the car and closed the door, “Let’s go.”

Lily turned her head and asked Olivia, “Where’s your new address after you moved? You said it’s not far from the office, correct?”

“It’s not far.” Olivia gave an address casually, but it did not sound familiar to Lily. Lily asked,” Do you know this place, Edward? Let’s go there first. We will send Liv home before we head back.”

“I know.” Edward nodded and started the car.

Olivia instinctively moved closer to the door, turned her head to look out the window, and stopped talking. It was embarrassing enough to be a third wheel, she should at least be self aware.

However, Lily did not understand lier intention. Lily was afraid Olivia would be awkward so she took the initiative to sit closer to her and grablier arm, “Liv, there’s nothing much to do the next couple of days. You sliould rest well. After that, I may liave to prepare for a new product. I will discuss the ideas with you soon.”

“Hmm.” Nodding, Olivia did not say a word. Even if she did not look over at Alexander, she could already feel his powerful aura. “I’m considering changing the target consumer group. What do you think?”

“I think since you had gotten off work today, maybe don’t talk about business anymore?” Alexander’s deep voice sounded beside Lily, and he dragged her toward him.

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 219

Alexander took Lily by surprise, and the car liappened to be taking a turn, so she stumbled into his arms. Olivia was stunned. She pretended she did not see anything as she held the door handle with one hand and covered her face with the other.

Lily‘s face turned red, and she pushed Alexander gently to sit up straight, but he took the opportunity to hold her waist, letting her lean on liis body. Alexander left no room for discussion.

“Is the new product a success?” Alexander asked calmly.

Sure enough, this successfully diverted Lily‘s attention. She immediately became excited and said, “Yes! It‘s how I wanted exactly. It was even better than what I expected. It’s perfect!” “That calls for a celebration,” Alexander added. “Yes. We need to celebrate!” Thinking of this, Lily turned to look in Olivia‘s direction, “Liv, let‘s fix a date to have a good meal. Do you want to go to the Cantonese restaurant from last time? I remember you liked the food there.”

“Okay! Then let‘s go to...” Before Olivia finished speaking, she felt that something in the air was off. She felt Alexander glancing in her direction, and a chill ran down her spine. Olivia immediately changed her words, “I–It‘s okay! I don‘t care, really. Hehe.”

Sure enough, it was not easy to be a third wheel. “You don‘t care? I remember you praising that place! By the way, I should also invite Jenny She has been working very hard lately.” Lily was ready to start planning their celebration.

“Haha, it‘s all right. We can do whatever you want.” Olivia looked out the window, holding her cheek in one hand, but even so, she could see Alexander‘s icy face from the reflection in the window.

Sigh. I didn‘t expect Mr. Russell to be jealous of me. I‘m a woman, so why would he be jealous?!‘

Olivia felt like she was on pins and needles but could not tell Edward to stop the car. She could only endure it and hoped that Edward would drive faster.

With this thought, she pinned her hopes on the man behind the wheel. Edward was driving attentively, with a resolute look, from her point of view. Maybe he did not look as fierce as Olivia thought because of the lighting. “Are you okay? Why don‘t you look excited?” Lily frowned, bothered by Olivia‘s lukewarm response.

“I think you‘re quite excited,” Alexander said while holding Lily tighter. He lowered his head to look at her, “Tell me, who else do you want to celebrate with?” “Who else? Well, Liv and I were the main ones who developed this product. Jenny also contributed a lot, so we should also invite her. As for the others...” Lily wanted to say she could not think of anyone else, but alter seeing Alexander‘s threatening gaze, she finally realized what Alexander meant by his question.

“B–But...” Lily revealed a flattering smile, “You can‘t!”

Alexander‘s face darkened instantly. His lace became even darker when he leard Edward coughing slowly from the driver‘s seal. Olivia covered her face with her hands, pretending to yawn. She was trying to suppress her urge to burst into laughter.

Lily was not stupid. She quickly realized that her words were ambiguous and immediately clarified, “N–No, I mean, it is inappropriate to invite you to the celebration because it would be inconvenient for you to show up in public.”

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 220

Alexander still had a grim look, obviously leartbroken.

Lily continued to appease him, “Of course, my success is all thanks to you. Your credit is the greatest. You’re the unsung hero beliind all of us! It’s my greatest honor to have your support and help. I’m so proud of you!”

Alexander was quiet, and Olivia said nothing either. Edward let out a few coughs.

Olivia wanted to applaud Lily for hier incredible flattery skill if they were not in the same car as Alexander

Honestly, it was the first time she saw Lily like this. It wasn’t like this when Lily was with Nathaniel. They communicated little; even if they did, it all revolved around work. Occasionally Nathaniel would say something nice. However, their interaction had never been so natural and pleasant.

Olivia took a peek and saw that Alexander’s grimn face had changed entirely. Olivia suspected that he even blushed a little.

“Huh, I never expected him to be shy.” “Where did you learn how to bootlick?” He raised his hand and pinched her face, his voice softer, “Even if the new product passes the test, it’ll take some time before it’s officially launched. Since you want to rest and celebrate, why not travel somewhere? This way, you’ll get to unwind.”

“Travel? Where?” Lily had not thought of this. After all, she used to develop new products continuously. When she succeeded, she would rest for two days, then continue with the next idea, sampling raw materials, testing the formula… It was like a routine. Her idea was simple back then. She wanted to develop more products while she was young and full of inspiration and ideas. There would be failures, but there would be successes too. MN Inc. could grow, and Nathaniel could take it easy. When they married, Lily would no longer have to work so hard. She could do wiat she liked at her own pace and live a stable and simple life. At that time, she thought she and Nathaniel were on the same page.

“It’s still undecided for the time being. You can tell me if you know where you want to go, and I’ll make arrangements for you guys,” lie said naturally. Olivia, on the side, was a little excited, “You guys?!” “You don’t want to go?” Alexander nodded, “Well, I’ll respect your choice. If you don’t want to…” “Yes, yes! Of course, I wanna yo!” Olivia repeatedly nodded for fear that her privilege would be revoked.

Olivia was delighted!

She had never received this kind of treatment even after staying so many years in MN Inc.! Olivia did not expect that she could travel at the company’s expense one day, even if it were only to tag along

Initially, when she saw Alexander’s unfriendly attitude toward her, she thought he did not like her. However, she had changed her mind. The car slowly stopped. Alexander took a glance and said, “This is you.” “Ah yes, this is me! I’ll head home first!” Olivia looked out. Her attitude was more natural than when she first got in the car, “Thank you, Mr. Russeil, have a good night!” Lily said, “It’s too dark outside. Let me walk you in.”
