Ch. 361..370

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 361

The process did not take long.

People started to submit their papers within the first half hour.

The number of people in the venue was gradually decreasing, but Lily was taking her time in writing her answers.

The ingredients were easily distinguished, and she could write them out quickly.

Interestingly, the two fragrances were very similar, not only in color but also in their notes.

The advantages and disadvantages were roughly the same, which left Lily pondering.

Seeing that everyone else answered quickly, a few participants looked uneasy, but after thinking about it for a while, they all finished answering the questions.

In the end, there were only a few people left.

"There are ten minutes left.If you don't hand in your papers, we will forfeit your answers," the examiner said while looking at the time.

The last few who were hesitating finished their writing.

Lily took another whiff of the fragrance.She smiled and quickly finished filling out her paper as well.

After handing in the papers and heading out of the hall, Lily saw that the people who had handed in their papers earlier were still there.

The organizers had told them to wait in a large room.

It seemed that the results would get revealed on the spot.

Seeing as the last test was over, everyone was relaxed.

In addition, they had participated in the competition for the last few days and were now familiar with one another.

They chatted away happily.

"I think Mr.Parker's perfume is exquisite.We ordinary people can’t compare in terms of skill.It was unique and creative.I think this perfume will become an international best-seller this year!" one of the participants said.

A few people on the side agreed, but some objected and expressed disdain, "Come on! Do you honestly think Mr.Parker made that? Just because it’s written on the bottle doesn’t mean it's true! They just want to see who’s a kiss*ss."

"Didn’t you sense something weird with the perfume? How can you call yourself a perfumer? Just go home and take care of your kids!"

It was a woman who got mocked.

She instantly went red in the face as she retorted, "What makes you think I couldn’t tell the difference? Mr.Parker’s perfume uses a variety of floral fragrances, and the essential oils in it were specially prepared.If you don't understand it, don't mock others! Also, don't mock women.Your mother is a woman too!"

The discussion had turned into a personal attack, and the participants started quarreling with one another.

The crowd split into two groups.

One group believed Mr.Parker’s skill level was excellent and superior to ordinary people's.

The other group believed it was not Mr.Parker's work.

The organizer wrote his name to confuse the participants and make everyone mistakenly believe it was Mr.Parker's work so that they would make the wrong judgments.

The two sides were bustling with their own opinions and were about to break out into a fight.

Lily chose not to participate and just stood in the corner where she hoped no one would notice her.

"You don't seem to agree with their views?" someone beside her suddenly said.

She turned toward the person to ensure the other party was really talking to her and found him staring at her.It was aman who looked different from the crowd.His features stood out, and he looked unique and handsome.

Lily had not paid much attention to the other participants in the competition before, so she did not have any impression of this man.

However, being able to stand with the crowd meant he was one of them.

Like Lily and Melanie, the man seemed like an outcast from the crowd.

"I didn’t say a word."

Lily shook her head, cleverly avoiding the argument.

The man was more interested in her than the liveliness in front of them.

"Still, your face tells me you disagree with both sides." Lily said as she raised her hand and touched her face, ''You can read my face?"

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 362

"It's not written on your face but in your eyes. Your eyes seem wise.

"He communicated in English, and he spoke it very fluently.

"You're very well-spoken."

Without responding to his words, Lily gave him an irrelevant compliment.

"Thank you."

The man happily took advantage of it and introduced himself generously, "Hello, my name is Noah,"

As he said that, he stretched out a hand toward Lily with a smile.

Lily got to her feet.She had no interest in shaking hands with him and replied, "It's time."

The organizers had come and asked them to return to the venue again.

The noise suddenly subsided, and the silence made Lily feel much more comfortable.

When she returned to her seat, she saw Noah sitting diagonally behind her.

No wonder Lily had no impression of him before.

Noticing that she was looking at him, Noah happily waved at her.

Lily glanced at him, then turned back around with a blank expression on her face.

‘Why is this guy so enthusiastic about a stranger?’

"Everyone's answer sheets have been reviewed.Out of many considerations, we have decided to announce the final results now.However, before the announcement, Mr.Parker has something to say and would like to chat with everyone."

After speaking, the examiner got up and walked away.

"Mr.Parker, please."

There was warm applause from the crowd, and a regal-looking older man who always carried himself meticulously walked in amid the applause.He wore a well-pressed suit, and his steps were steady and powerful.He walked to his seat, looked around, and then sat down.

Maybe it was just her imagination, but Lily felt that his eyes had stopped for a split second when they reached her.

Was it because of Lisa? Although Mr.Parker was a bit stubborn, he should disdain nepotism.

"I'm pleased to see all of you.The ones who have managed to come here are the best of the best in the past two years," Mr.Parker cleared his throat and said.

Before the crowd expressed their happiness, his face sank, and he continued, "But I'm also heartbroken to see what you all did earlier.What happened to professionalism?"

His words confused the crowd.

Nobody knew what he meant.

Before these people had time to cheer, he wiped away their smiles.

They got replaced by embarrassment and awkwardness.

Lily thought it was a little funny.She pursed her lips and said nothing.

"Mr.Parker, why do you say this? You can criticize us if we’ve done something wrong.Did someone upset you?" one of the participants growled.

"Mr.Parker, the test questions were designed to confuse people.Neither of them was your work, right?" someone proposed to prove their idea.

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 363

Mr.Parker answered without looking at the man, "What do you think?"

The man was at a loss for words.

What did that even mean? The man had spoken his mind since that was what he thought.

"Are you sure that's the case? Or did you assume?"

Mr.Parker continued.His words confused many people, and they all wondered what he meant.

"Judging by the answer sheets, quite a few of you had the same opinion, right?" he continued to ask.

There was no answer from the crowd.

Looking at how they had quarreled earlier, there was no need to produce the answer sheets.

Many of them disagreed anyway.

"What do the others think?"

After a final round of questions, he said, "Let's announce the results."

The examiner on the side nodded respectfully and then stepped forward to announce the results.A total of ten people were selected.

The examiner started announcing results starting from tenth place.

What surprised Lily was that Noah took second place.She looked back and glanced at him.

Noah happened to be looking at her as well and gave her a slight nod and smile.He had a confident look on his face.

After announcing the last nine places, there was only first place left.The atmosphere was now tense.

After all, there was only one spot left, so it was either first place or failure.Everyone wanted to go home with honor and rise to fame.

Therefore, when the examiner pronounced the name "Lily," it caused quite a stir.

"Her?! How is that possible?!"

The crowd started whispering.

Many people were unconvinced.They spoke in low tones, but their disbelief was apparent because there were so many voices.

"How could she possibly win? There’s something shady going on with the results."

"The sampling competition has been around for many years, and there has never been such a shady scene.It’s unheard of."

"Isn't she a friend of Mr.Parker's daughter? No wonder."

"Did Mr.Parker give her tips ahead of time?"

"Why bother asking questions? Just give us the answers."

Different voices gave different opinions, but the final result did not convince almost everyone.

None of them felt like Lily deserved first place, and they thought she could never be better than them.

"Wait a minute.I question this result!" someone raised his hand and raised an objection.

Even though Mr.Parker was present and the competition results were final, they could not hold back their contempt.

"I don't understand how she..." The speaker pointed a finger in Lily's direction.

"...could win first place. Is she better than us? How are we inferior to her? I hope you will give us an answer that will convince us.Otherwise, this is unfair competition!"

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 364

In the face of everyone's doubts, Lily's face remained neutral.She still looked indifferent, as if what these people were discussing had nothing to do with her.

The examiner glanced at Mr.Parker, then said, "Please be quiet.You wanted to know why Ms.Christian could win first place, right? That's back to the final question itself.The last question in the competition, do you all believe your answer was correct?"

"Could it be that both those bottles are Mr.Parker's works?" Someone suddenly realized.

If Mr.Parker disagreed with what the person said just now, it was incorrect.

Since it was not mentioned that neither of the two bottles belonged to him, then it meant that it did.

The examiner smiled, then picked up a stack of the test papers they had just finished answering, "Here’s the answer sheet for everyone.After analyzing the raw materials and ingredients, almost everyone wrote a detailed description and wrote their judgments at the end.

"Many people thought that these two bottles did not belong to Mr.Parker, and of course, some people thought that they did.However, Ms.Christian’s answers did not include this point."

Everyone looked at each other.

"Was it wrong to analyze it? Just because we added our own judgment, whether the answer was right or not, it’s still wrong?"

"It's better to let Ms.Christian share about it herself," he moved to the side, motioned her to come forward, and added, "By the way, Ms.Christian's composition analysis was the most comprehensive.Yes, it can be said to be word for word.If you’re still not convinced, you can take a look for yourself later."

Lily was a little depressed.She thought it would be over after the test, and she could go back after the results were obtained.She did not expect that to happen, and it was starting to get a little too troublesome.

Feeling helpless, she stood in front of the microphone.

Without rushing to express her opinion, she turned to look at Mr.Parker, sitting on the side, "Before answering, I want to ask Mr.Parker a question."

Glancing back at her, Mr.Parker raised his hand and motioned her to ask.

"I wanted to ask, what was your intention of asking those questions in the competition?"

As soon as that came out, everyone gasped.How dare Lily speak to Mr.Parker like that? It proved that they had something going on.

Taking a deep look at her, Mr.Parker responded with the same answer, "What do you think?"

Everyone was silent.

"I think you're testing whether everyone will be troubled by external factors and affect their judgment," she said directly, "Actually, the last question could have been left unlabeled and simply let us analyze and judge.It doesn’t matter whose work it is.However, the label on the bottle is specially labeled, clearly identifying who the creator was.It’s nothing more than trying to interfere with us, so everyone is preconceived about the work itself and adds meanings that do not belong."

"We knew that, so that’s why we questioned it.We'll deny the answer given by the competition and judge ourselves."

It was the one who asked the question earlier, and his dissatisfaction was evident.

"No, you didn't."

Lily directly denied his answer, which made the man upset.

After taking a quick deek around, Lily began talking, "True to what the gentleman said, you doubted the organizer's label, but you were unaffected.Instead, you became too entangled in it.You spent too much time thinking about the label, analyzing and guessing its authenticity.Due to it alone, your judgment is clouded.Spending a lot of time pondering this label, whether to question it or make educated guesses, is counterproductive."

Everyone was silent.

Despite their initial skepticism, they gradually began to believe Lily after hearing her response.

Someone then asked, "Ms.Christian, how did you answer? Haven't you ever wondered who created these two works?"

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 365

Looking at that person, Lily answered thoughtfully, "It doesn’t mean much to whoever the author is.This test is about analyzing the composition and the pros and cons of the work, not who created it."

"Then, if you remove the labels and focus on the two creations themselves, will your answer be the same as now?" she asked rhetorically.

That question caught people's attention, and they engaged in careful thought.If there were no labels, it was very likely that the answer would still be different.

When answering the questions, they wondered if this was really Mr.Parker's work or one of their challenges.

After spending so much time and energy, no one thought that thinking about whose work it was would deviate from the game's core.

Now, her words have convinced most people.

However, there is always dissatisfaction.

"Excuse me, Ms.Christian.What you said was good, but you’re so young and could think so well.Are you really talented and intelligent, or have you been in contact with similar things before?"

His question was full of maliciousness.It seemed to be a common question, but in fact, he was saying that she relied on connections.

Indirectly, he meant that she already knew the questions in advance, which was why she could answer so well.

Looking deeply at him, Lily replied, "Then you’re presumptuous.Not only that, but you're also a bit ignorant.

"As far as I know, there’s no direct relationship between knowledge and age.Some people are young, but they are knowledgeable and wise.Some people are older, but they are shallow and live under a rock.Of course, I'm not talking about you.I just want to say that a person's tolerance has little to do with age.Also, I think, if you’re here, it shouldn't be the latter."

She smiled and said it calmly, but her words were neither humble nor arrogant.It was obviously mocking his shallow knowledge, but in the end, she gave him some face and did not want to make him too embarrassed.

His face and neck were bright red with anger, yet he was speechless.

Furthermore, to continue the discourse would portray him as ignorant, and he was not challenging her, but rather Mr.Parker and the entire competition.

"This competition was complete and successful, and it allowed us to see that there are so many talents in our fragrance business.I believe that in this field, everyone will be able to create a world of their own! I believe there will be more excellent work in the future! I’m pleased to announce that this competition is over, and I will contact the winners to collect the prizes and trophies later."

After the invigilator finished speaking, this competition finally came to an end.

Lily breathed a sigh of relief but felt she would never participate in this type of competition again.

Research and development were a peace of mind.

Socializing, on the other hand, was a pure headache!

"Ms.Christian!"

After the game, and before she could leave, someone stopped her, "Mr.Parker wants to see you.Please come with me."

Lily did not know what he meant, but after all, they were still in the arena.

After the kidnapping, the recent security and protection measures had been comprehensive, so it would never be like the last time.

Following that person to the office, Lily saw Mr.Parker sitting inside after the door had opened.He watched Lily walk in front of him and motioned her to sit down.

"Ms.Christian, you really impressed me,"

Mr.Parker’s body leaned forward a little.Although his tone was not admirable, it was affirmative.

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 366

"Thank you," Lily replied politely.

"However, I have some reservations about your remarks just now."

Changing the topic, he continued, "When you said that the brand doesn't affect you, do you really think so, or do you just say that rhetorically because you can't tell the difference?"

Without waiting for her answer, he added, "Of course, in any case, your answer sheet is indeed more accurate than the rest.You are still number one regardless, that's for sure."

This was why he held her back, as he did not want to ask this aloud.

"To be honest, we're both on the same boat.I don't quite agree with the question you asked.In fact, the question itself is a paradox,"

Lily wasn't offended as she calmly explained her side.

"Oh?"

On the other hand, Wesley seemed a little insulted as he raised his eyebrow.

Obviously, he did not take her words seriously, thinking it was just a cover-up for her mistake.

As a matter of fact, Wesley was unhappy with the results of this competition.He had initially planned to select one of his disciples as the winner, but they did not perform as well as he thought they would.

Although Lily had won first place, his prejudice was so strong that he didn't think that she was capable of achieving anything in this industry.

"Was the reason behind your question to get us to focus on the product itself, regardless of the brand or any other external factors?" she questioned.

Upon hearing that question, Wesley paused for a moment before he nodded slightly.He couldn't deny that this was exactly his thought process at that time.

A perfumer should pay more attention to the value of the perfume itself.

People focused on brand names more often than not.

Once a scent is labeled with a renowned brand, it would blow up and be sold at extremely high prices.

On the other hand, newcomers would find it hard to break through this scene.

Wesley felt that this mindset should be changed and that brands should not easily sway people.

"Yet, you deliberately labeled the bottle with your name while instructing us to ignore who the perfumer was.I guess it's safe to say that you're placing too much importance on the influence of the brand's reputation on the product.You're trying to use your name to distract us while telling us not to be blinded by brands.Isn't that very contradictory in itself?" Lily asked.

To her surprise, Wesley shook his head.

"You wouldn't have noticed this if you only focused on fragrance.You managed to do that, didn't you?"

Although he was reluctant to admit this, it was true.

Lily laughed and said, ''That's not the case.I'm just saying that whoever the perfumer is shouldn't influence the perfume itself, but that doesn't mean that I won't think about who created the perfume.The product and the creator are inseparable.Being perfumers, although we create all sorts of fragrances, each with a uniqueness of its own, the personal touch of the perfumers is what gives the scent its name."

Initially, Wesley disapproved of what she said and wanted to object.

Later, as he listened, he slowly began to straighten up, nodding slightly as she continued.His perspective of her began to change.

Looking at Lily with great interest, he said, "It seems like you're pretty eloquent.Can you guess who this perfume belongs to?"

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 367

Lily smiled.

"To be honest, there's no need for me to guess at all.The personal touches of these two perfumes are very obvious.They both have a very distinct smell, with a strong orchid note."

She paused and cast a deep look at Wesley.

"It's very similar to the perfume you wear."

"So, your final answer is?"

Wesley seemed unmoved by her words as he stood there expressionlessly, neither hinting whether she was right or wrong.

"You made those two perfumes; they were your products," Lily answered affirmatively.

"Are you sure?" Wesley raised his eyebrows and laughed.

"You must know that many people gave that answer, or should I say, most people did.Moreover, I remembered from your answer sheet that you clearly stated considerable differences between the two fragrances."

"Yes, I'm sure!"

Lily nodded before explaining, "Although the two fragrances are very different, I also wrote another point on the answer sheet.The base notes of the two perfumes are the same.A probable reason for such big differences may be because one of them is an old product of yours, while the other, I suppose, is something you've worked on recently.

"In other words, you've made some changes along the way.As perfumers, in addition to constantly creating new fragrances, we will get different inspirations and constantly work on our previous products.

"No matter how perfect our work is, we always strive for it to be better.Also, as you age, the experiences you've gained will change your thinking.Therefore, it's not unusual for you to come out with something so different."

At this point, Lily had finally moved Wesley.

"Have you studied my work?"

"Just a little.After all, you're one of the top perfumers in the industry.As upcoming perfumers, we should dabble in and understand the works of our predecessors."

"Then can you tell me what is your favorite and least favorite work of mine?" Wesley asked, genuinely interested in her answer.

Lily would never shy away from such discussions, and before she knew it, the two began to chat away.Time passed in a blink, and it was only when someone knocked on the door that the two stopped talking.

"Mr.Parker?"

Wesley immediately frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"

Without saying a word, the man pushed open the door and glanced inside before hesitantly saying, Someone is here to pick Ms.Christian up."

Wesley glanced at his watch unhappily; he had no idea it was already so late in the day.

Time had passed so quickly without him realizing it.It had been a long time since he had such an engaging conversation.

All his doubts and disdain about Lily had disappeared in this short period.He was now looking at her with admiration.

"Lily," he called out, ignoring all formalities.

"I appreciate your insights and knowledge on perfumes.Would you be interested in joining my team and me to further your perfumery journey?"

Lily was taken aback by this offer; she did not expect him to lay it on the table like this.It was an honor to be offered a place on Wesley's team.It was the greatest affirmation one could get as a perfumer.

However, at this moment, she hesitated.

As a perfumer, Lily was keen on producing her own line of fragrances.She had missed too many opportunities recently as Nathaniel sold her works under someone else's name.

Although this offer was tempting, she still shook her head and declined.

"Thank you very much for your offer, but I think I would like to continue developing in Hyderland.My current company serves me well, and I still have much to learn.In any case, I am still very grateful for the assurance you've given me with this offer!"

Wesley was surprised.He did not think Lily would reject him.

Over the years, no one had rejected his offer.

They would all, without exception, agree without a second thought.

"I'm sure you're aware that Westwood is the city of perfumes.Although I'm not trying to look down on Hyderland, over the years, I've yet to see Hyderland producing any top-tier perfumers.You're wasting your talent there."

He felt it was a pity for her to reject his offer.

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 368

Lily's face turned serious when she heard this.She disagreed with what he said.

"I think you're wrong about this.It's not that there aren't any excellent perfumers in our country.It's just that other countries have scouted them.

"I am a prime example.Right now, I can also choose to stay in my country or move to another.That is why I want to continue to stay and grow in Hyderland.I hope that in the future, the whole world will see that Hyderland produces top-tier perfumers whose fragrances would sell internationally." Her words made Wesley sigh.

"All right, I respect your decision.However, don't hesitate to contact me anytime if you change your mind!"

"Thank you!"

"Haha, I can finally understand why that girl, Lisa, likes being your friend so much."Lily smiled.

"Maybe it's because I'm honest."

With a hearty laugh, Wesley happily sent her out with a smile on his face all along the way.

When Lily saw the car waiting for her, she knew it was Alexander.

After bidding goodbye to Wesley, she confirmed what she had guessed when she got into the car.It was, indeed, Alexander inside.

However, Giselle was not in the car.

"Where's Giselle?" Lily asked.

"I sent her away."

"She listened to you?"

Lily was surprised to hear this.

Giselle was a headstrong woman as she was stubborn and persistent.She was even more on edge, especially after Lily’s kidnapping incident.

How could she just leave because of what he said?

"I'm the boss.Why wouldn’t she listen to me?"

Alexander raised his eyebrows as he seemingly had a powerful aura around him.

Although Lily felt amused by his appearance, she did not believe him.

"Really, now? Although she isn't the bravest person I know, she's stil] quite hard-headed, and I know she's very protective of me.Don't you dare bully her!"

Since the kidnapping incident, Lily had always felt sorry for Giselle and regarded her as a friend.

"It seems like you're quite protective yourself," Alexander replied bitterly.

"I've gotten George to get her to deal with a more important task back at the hotel and that her job here has been taken care of." Lily was speechless.

'This man is abusing his power!'

"She believed that?"

"You know how she is.Although she'll follow the higher-ups' orders, she is still worried.She wouldn't leave until she saw the car the company had arranged and even confirmed it herself,"

Alexander explained as he pointed to the car they were in.

Giselle only left to handle the task once she saw and confirmed that the company had sent this car.

As for Lily, she had her phone on silent as she chatted with Wesley.

Thus, she did not receive any calls.

When she took out her phone and glanced at it, sure enough, Giselle had sent her a message.

Within the long text were sentences urging Lily to check with the driver to make sure that it was the company's car before getting in; it was best to call the company to reconfirm this, and that Lily should wait at the lobby of the venue.

Lily felt her heart turn warm when she read the message.She felt lucky that she had so many people who cared for her.

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 369

"You were in there for quite a while," Alexander said.

Lily had lingered for quite some time before coming out.It was so long that all the other contestants had left.

She nodded.

"Mr.Will wanted to chat, so I took a little longer."

"What did he say?"

After some pondering, Lily remembered Wesley’s words and became emotional.He invited me to join his team."

Alexander nodded again and again, "That's high praise, don’t you agree?"

"I rejected the invitation."

Lily shook her head as she looked out the car window.

The street lights outside flickered.

The night scenery in Westwood was breathtaking.It was notorious for its romantic appeal.It was indeed the cradle of the perfume industry and many big brands.

Many classical styles came from there.

Such an opportunity had been laid in front of her, but she had refused it.

"You rejected his offer? Why?"

Alexander paused and said half- jokingly, Were you scared you would miss me too much?"

Lily glared at Alexander.

‘How narcissistic!’ "I want to make my own unique brand.I want to leave behind brands that sit in the Top Perfumer Hall of Honor."

Her eyes shone so brightly that it was brighter than the stars.

Alexander looked at her face and felt that his wife was beautiful to the core.

It was her confidence and determination that had first attracted him.She was a person of faith, and though she had once hit rock bottom, it could not conceal her sunny nature.

"I believe in you.You can do it," Alexander said softly, giving Lily the greatest affirmation he could muster.

As she leaned into his arms, Lily felt very satisfied.It was a blessing to have a solid and warm embrace and someone who supported and affirmed her.

"Right!"

Lily suddenly remembered something and bolted upright, looking straight at Alexander.

"Something weird happened, though.Melanie was a no-show today."

"What's so weird about it? Maybe she realized she couldn't win, so she voluntarily withdrew from the competition.Maybe she didn't want to participate since many didn’t make it."

Alexander shrugged, looking not the least bit surprised.

Lily shook her head.

"No, no! That's not how she operates! She did her best to come here and to get to the end.She can't give up at the last corner! Maybe something happened to her? Maybe she got kidnapped too?"

However, the chances of that happening were probably a little too low, right? Lily looked at her husband suspiciously, "Did you..."

The two had chatted before.

Lily suspected that the main perpetrator behind the scenes was Melanie, but there was no concrete evidence to prove it.

She wondered what Alexander did to Melanie, considering what she told Alexander about Melanie and Alexander’s temper and personality.

Alexander feigned innocence as he raised his hands.

"I didn't do anything illegal.Besides, she’s not worth it."

Lily looked into Alexander’s eyes, and he did not seem like he was lying.

What he said also made sense.

Melanie was worthless in Alexander’s eyes, after all.He would not have done anything.

Furrowing her eyebrows, Lily thought, ‘It’s so strange"

After the competition ended, Lily and Giselle went their separate ways.

Alexander sent Giselle back to the company for an urgent task.It meant that Lily and Alexander could spend some alone time together in Westwood.

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 370

"Aren't we going back?" Lily was curious about where he was taking her.

Everyone left, and it was just the two of them.

"I said before that I wanted to reward you with a trip, but the competition was delayed.Let me make it up to you now!"

Alexander said with great interest.It was not known where he got the convertible sports car.He drove her on the highway, which was like a scene in those romantic movies.

"Wait, I have an appointment with Olivia and Jenny!" She sighed and felt regretful when she thought about it.

Plans that had been made earlier had to be scrapped because of last-minute errands.

"Am I not better than them?"

While driving, he turned to look at her with dissatisfaction.He gets jealous pretty quickly, regardless of anything.It was unbelievable!

"Okay, you're the best! Now concentrate on driving!" she replied, as she used her hands to rotate his face to look forward.

In any case, safety always came first.He was overly excited about that praise, and a big smile was raised on the corner of his lips.He wanted to comfort her, and said, "Come with me this time, then you can join them the next."

"I can’t take that many days off.What makes you think I’m that free?" She muttered softly.

Alexander thought she was just like him, taking days off whenever she wanted to.He was the big boss, but she was just a small employee.

"Did you forget about me?" He turned to look at her with a smug smile.

Lily was silent.He suddenly remembered that for the past two days, he had been calling George directly.

The things he explained were all directly related to her.

So in essence, only a fool would not know their relationship!

"Did you make our relationship public?" she asked nervously.

"No," he replied smoothly, and looked at her again, Alexander took her hand and said, "George might have guessed it, I didn't tell him.He does know that you’re on my side, and there’s nothing wrong with that.Just let him know if there’s anything you need to do or anything you need help on."

Lily pursed her lips and said nothing.

"I know you want to rely on yourself, but you’re also not relying on me! For example, participating in this competition.Even if the company recommended you to come because of me, you would not be able to win first place if you didn't have the capability to.I didn't control the game, so you're still on your own!"

With that, he brought her hand to his lips and kissed her.

Amused by his serious look, Lily said, "I didn't blame you!"

"It's best if you don't blame me.You know we can’t hide forever, so.."

Slowing down the car, he turned to look at her, and said very affectionately, "When do you want to announce us?"

Lily was silent again.

Looking at his half-joking, half-serious face, Lily's heart was pulsing uncontrollably.

With his status, he did not need to seek her opinion at all if he wanted to announce their relationship to the public.

However, he had always kept his promise and respected her thoughts.He really cherished her and cared about her.

The corners of her lips rose.She used the other hand to hold their hands together, and said to him, "Soon!"

Soon! Soon enough, when she was stronger and had enough confidence to stand next to him, she would declare to the world that he is hers! She was one of a kind!
