Ch. 731..740
Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 731
She did intend to pursue him but had not found a suitable way to I establish a relationship with Noah Richards.
After all, building a I relationship with the Richards family was not easy.
"There’s a way, but it’ll take some effort."
Pausing, she looked at Arianna.
"How’s the new project?"
"That b*stard is in charge, and it’s got nothing much to do with me." Arianna snorted.
"Nothing to do with you? If he’s in charge, the more you’re connected to it.Whether he does well or not will greatly impact you."
Eloise took the sapphire from her.
"Remember, what I belongs to you will remain yours.No matter how often it changes I hands, it'll return to you in the end."
Eyeing the box in her mother’s hand, Ariana’s gaze became I thoughtful.
The press conference held by La Beauté Group was, without a doubt, a success.
There were no longer talks about the perfume being poisonous.
Even if there were some related discussions online, they were all about refuting the rumors.
At the same time, the event brought on a positive effect.
People got curious about the relaxing and sleep-inducing aromatherapy that Lily had mentioned, and those with insomnia urged the company to mass-produce the product.
Some more level-headed individuals did, however, ask for tests to ensure the product's safety.
What was certain was that Lily had become famous! Her name constantly trended on the Internet as many tried to look for perfumes created by Lily.
Perfumes advertised as "Made by Lily Christian" would fetch exorbitant prices.
La Beauté Group now had to crack down on counterfeit products.
Having patented her perfume, the company planned to launch a product line just for Lily.
Meanwhile, everyone in the company had changed their views toward her.
Before the press conference, many people were puzzled about why the CEO had chosen an unknown and controversial woman.
They now believed the CEO had made a good choice in his future bride because she was not only stunningly beautiful but also talented, daring, and capable.
Still, the much-discussed person was now held up at the lab, getting nagged at.
"Please spare me.You guys have nagged me all morning!"
Lily had returned to the lab for some peace and quiet before resuming her work that had been interrupted halfway.She did not expect that not long after she arrived, Olivia would find her.
With Jenny joining soon after, Lily had no place to hide.
Both Olivia and Jenny shared the same goal, which was to get her to take the exam for the practicing certificate.
"If you want us to stop nagging, then take the exam! It’s not even going to be tough for you.Why fight them over this and let them hold it against you?"
Jenny was so wrapped-up in persuading Lily that she had not even had a drink of water all morning.
"Yeah, yeah!"
Olivia echoed immediately, "Jen's absolutely right.It’s only a practicing certificate, so just give it to them! It’s not that you won’t pass the exam."
Covering her ears, Lily rolled her eyes.
"I won’t."
"B*lishit!"
Jenny retorted, "You were in this industry for so long.How could you not pass the exam for the practicing certificate? Liar! You won an international award before.Stop finding excuses and take the exam to save yourself and the company trouble!"
"I’m not b*llshitting you.I really won’t pass the exam.It’s not like I hadn’t tried before," Lily shouted as she slammed the desk.
Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 732
"What?"
Jenny and Olivia exchanged startled expressions and looked at her.
"No way!"
"It's the truth!"
With a sigh, Lily said defeatedly, "I took an exam when I started.I got the title of a perfumer, but I never passed the exam for the practicing certificate.
The Perfumers’ Society came up with that certificate, and it was never needed on the international level."
The others were speechless.
Jenny became thoughtful.
"Well, it’s not needed internationally as there’s no such thing as a practicing certificate elsewhere.Still...you wouldn’t fail the exam, would you?"
Jenny added, "Even the junior technician could get it, and you couldn’t?"
Recalling how she used to make things difficult for Lily, Jenny realized she could have stopped her from joining the company if she had demanded the certificate right from the start.
Thankfully, Jenny had not thought of it.
Of course, who would have guessed that Lily would not possess the most basic thing? "Yeah, yeah, I have it, too!"
Olivia added hurriedly.
Speechless, Lily scowled at her.
"I admit I’m stupid.All right?"
"That’s not what I meant, but..."
Olivia remembered that the exam was all about theoretical stuff, and the knowledge involved had little to do with perfumery.
Besides some fundamental theories about the classification and application of scents, the exam was mostly about political theories.
Was that the reason Lily did not pass the exam?
"You could practice for those questions and will know the answers if you memorize them.You’re smart, and I’m sure you can pass the exam," Olivia said.
Seeing how insistent they were, Lily sighed and said, "All right.It's not that I really can’t pass the exam, but I don’t want to take it."
She continued, "If it's got something to do with perfumery, I'll try my best to learn no matter how tough it is.However, the exam has nothing to do with perfumery.If it’s not recognized internationally and I have no intention in joining the Perfumers’ Society, why waste time trying to get something I don’t even need?"
The problem now was not whether she could pass the exam, but she didn’t even want to waste time on something meaningless.The other two were speechless.
Since Lily thought that way even after their persuasion all morning, it was unlikely she would budge.She even convinced them that there was no need for the certificate instead.
The three slumped against the desk, exhausted.
Olivia asked, "That means...you're not taking the exam for real?"
Jenny sighed.
"The Perfumers’ Society will put you under investigation and might even press charges against you, though.It’s clear they want to give you trouble."
"Just let them!"
Lily let out an unconcerned look.
"Frankly speaking, I’ve never understood the purpose of the society.Within the Perfumers’ Society, besides the few retired top perfumers who haven’t come up with anything new, who else got famous for their products? Isn't creating products the greatest purpose of a perfumer?"
Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 733
Olivia said, sighing, "You’re right, but the rules of the industry have always been so."
"Rules are made to be broken!"
Lily straightened up and slammed her desk.
"I never wanted to interfere with them, but if they want to get serious on this, I’ll fight back."
"But the company..."
Jenny hesitated and shook her head.
"Well, never mind.Mr.Russell will be on your side."
Lily shook her head.
"No, this is my own doing.If it gets the company into trouble, I'll quit."
She did not have much faith in herself before this, but after more than a year’s worth of experience, she fully believed she could create a product line of her own as she was good in perfumery.
"you have my support, no matter what."
Jenny patted Lily’s shoulder.
Olivia patted her other shoulder.
"Yeah, mine too!"
"Thank you, guys."
It was heartening to Lily to have their help and support.
After all, that was what real friends were for.
Meanwhile, Derrick felt better at the hospital and allowed Joseph to see him.
However, Derrick still did not look so well.
"Are you getting better?" Joseph asked, concerned.
"Trying to stay alive for now."
Derrick coughed a few times and gestured for his wife to prop up his pillow.
Sitting up, he looked weak and tired.
Joseph studied his expression carefully and felt that his elder brother would not have much longer to live.He never expected a healthy person like Derrick to become sick suddenly.
"Stop saying stuff like that.You’re just ill and will leave here as soon as you recover.You still have many decisions to make for the company."
With a concerned look, Joseph took a seat on a stool beside the bed.
Derrick threw him a languid glance and sighed.
"I know my body better than anyone else.How’s the company lately?"
"Everything's been fine and normal.Why? Haven’t Shawn and Carson reported to you?"
Joseph referred to the two old-timer stockholders in charge of the company's primary operations for the time being.
"They have, but I missed much of their reports as I kept falling asleep now that I’m sick,"
After a pause, he continued, "I remember them telling me that someone put that son of yours in charge of a new project."
Joseph was surprised and chuckled as he replied, "Yes, Damian's in charge of that, but I’ve asked others to guide him since he’s still young.So far, the project has progressed quite well, and the new perfumes will be on the market soon.Hopefully, they will do well in sales."
He spoke happily, unable to hide his joy.
"That’s good.I’m getting older and weaker.It’s the younger generation that the company needs."
Derrick incessantly coughed as if to prove that he was genuinely in terrible shape.
"Derrick..."
Joseph hurriedly rose to pat his back.
Meanwhile, Stephanie filled a glass of water and passed it to her husband before he took two sips.
"You still haven’t heard from Benedict? Now that you’re not feeling well, he should return to take care of the business, no?"
Joseph asked tentatively, not 100% sure that Benedict had gone 1 missing.
Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 734.
Derrick heaved a heavy sigh and looked out the window over his shoulder.
"He’s a grownup now, and there’s no way I can keep him by my side.He has his way of thinking.Just let him be."
"No matter what, he should stay by your side now that you’re sick."
Before Joseph could continue, Derrick cut him off.
"Forget it.If he doesn’t return, then so be it.l just pretend I never had a son.I’m getting a bit tired, so you should leave."
Joseph wanted to say something, but Derrick had already closed his eyes, looking exhausted.
The younger brother got up to say goodbye to Derrick and his wife.
"I’ll visit some other day, okay? Don’t worry about the company.I’ll manage it well."
He paused and saw Derrick’s eyes still closed as if asleep.
Stephanie wiped her tears and said, "I'll see you off."She followed Joseph out the door and stopped at the elevator.
"I won’t go downstairs with you since your brother still needs me.I don’t know much about the business, so I’m counting on you guys to put extra effort into running it, okay?"
As she turned to leave, Joseph stopped her.
"What did the doctor say about his condition?"
"The doctor says he has been overworked and has to recuperate.It shouldn’t be too...serious."
Stephanie heaved a sigh and looked downward.
Although she tried to sound casual, she was evidently holding back her tears.
"That's good.Then...where did Benedict go? Why don’t I give him a call? I’m still his uncle, after all.Perhaps he might listen to me."
"No, there’s no need!"
Stephanie looked flustered as she shook her head.
"He's held up by something and will be back soon.No, don’t rush him.Go.Don’t worry.I’ll be here taking care of your brother."
She turned and headed toward the ward, wiping her tears.
Joseph stared at Stephanie and fell into deep thought.
‘It seems to me it's not that Benedict has refused to return, but no one can contact him instead.I sent my men to investigate, but they couldn't obtain any news about him either.Has he met with some kind of accident? If it’s so, it will be a God-sent opportunity!’ Joseph was in a great mood while leaving the hospital.
He felt that everything that had happened was in his favor.
The ownership of the Tanner Corporation seemed within his reach after all.
Damian was waiting for him in his office when he returned.
"Dad."
Joseph saw the files in his hands and nodded.
"Is the perfume a success and ready for launch?"
"Yes, I’ve completed the plan for you to go over.I’ve arranged everything from packaging to marketing to endorsement and ads.The ad shoot will finish in two days, and I’ve booked the primetime slots on all major TV networks.Everything is ready, and I guarantee we'll sell out our perfumes!"
Damian claimed confidently.
"That’s wonderful!"
Joseph happily browsed through the file and was impressed by the all-encompassing plan.
"You did well, Damian! Remember to ensure that production can keep up.Tell the production line they need to prepare to accommodate our perfumes."
"I already did, Dad, don’t worry,"
Damian smilingly answered before he paused and revealed a troubled expression.
"It’s just that "
"What is it?"
"It’s just that the budget is a bit..."
Damian rubbed his fingers together, signaling that the budget was tight.
Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 735
"What about the budget?" Joseph frowned.
"Didn't we allocate a considerable amount for you?"
"You did, but hiring the perfumer cost a lot of money.As you also know, the top perfumers are expensive, so the budget has gotten a bit...tight for other areas."
Joseph flipped to the expenditure report, furrowed his brows, and stared at the numbers, upset.
"Didn’t I tell you not to overspend, even though the budget is considerable? Why have you overspent by so much? What kind of top perfumer have you hired? The fee was ridiculously high! Were you ripped off or what?" He poked the numbers on the report with dismay.
"N-No!"
Damian waved and hurriedly explained, "I approached the top international perfumer through a connection.We've put out the promotion.Google it, and you'll know how famous the perfumer is!"
Scurrying to the computer, he bent over and keyed in a series of alphabets.
"Look, William has won several international awards and is a noted authority on perfumery.We can check these things online.Besides, I’ve already tried the perfume he created, and it’s truly nice.Trust me, Dad, we will succeed.The money is well- spent."
Joseph read the introduction on the computer and held his chin, hesitant.The truth was he did not know much about perfumery.He raised his head and asked, "What did your sister say about this?"
"She’s fully behind me.She thinks it’s a great idea and says I’ve done well,"
Damian quickly responded.
Joseph cocked his head and gave it a thought but could not tell what was wrong with this situation.
Since Damian had already spent so much money, they could only move forward.He nodded.
"All right.Do it.If you run short of money, I'll ask the financial department to allocate more.
"Still, you must remember! No matter how much you’re spending, the money must be well-spent.As long as it is worth the money, then do it.Just don’t become like your mother!"
He still felt upset over the ten million dollars.
That was ten million dollars that belonged to Joseph.
Fortunately, he was quick-witted and claimed it was a gift for Eloise, winning him a good name and protecting the company’s image and stability.
Otherwise, it would be a ridiculous waste of money.
Damian smiled.He knew about his mother going to the auction.
After the business discussion, he wanted to mention it, but his father raised it first instead.
"Dad, Mom simply wanted you to give her a gift.You know, all these years..."
"What? That she has suffered? Thal it’s nut been easy for her? Has she starved? Did she have no clothes to keep her warm?"
Elizaheth had nagged at him so often that these words set him off automatically.
"Yes, I cannot make her my official wife, and it was unfair to her for all these years, but I’m doing my best to make it up to you and her.
"Ever since you were young, your mom didn’t need to go to work and worry about money.From you going to kindergarten to secondary school and then to university, I was there to pay for all the expenses.Even now, Pin is getting you involved in the company one step at a time so you can take over one day.Tell me, what is she not satisfied with?!"
As Joseph roared, Damian dared not dare say anything and simply listened.
"We've agreed on six million dollars, yet she raised the price to ten million at the auction.
Does she think it’s so easy to make money? She blamed me for giving the necklace to Eloise, but could I have told the reporters that I was divorcing the woman? "What about the Tanner Corporation? What about the share price? Will the old-timers in the company attack me for this? Has your mom thought about these things?!"
Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 736
Damian was silent for a while, then whispered, "Mom doesn't know much.She’s a woman after all.Don't be angry, Dad.Since it’s been resolved just let it go.Don't worry, I'll coax her.She just loses her temper sometimes but doesn’t mean it.She’ll be okay after her rant.
"Mom has been with you for so many years.You should understand her character by now.She was impulsive at the auction, and it was because she suppressed it for too long.Please forgive her this time."
Seeing that his son was on his side, and every sentence was sincere, Joseph felt a little more at ease, "Alright, I'm just complaining.You're right, your mother has that temper.I'll go buy her a diamond necklace later, and that'll do."
"Well, then Dad, I'm going out to work."
Joseph nodded, "Go!"
After retreating, he let out a long sigh of relief.
After thinking about it, Damian also felt that Elizabeth was too abrupt this time.
If things were not done well, it would make Joseph angry.
‘At least I won't lose my father's favor by making a fuss over a necklace"
Damian walked over to see how the ads were coming together.
As a matter of fact, he enlisted the help of Naomi Schiffer, a supermodel with a global fan base, to promote the entire set.
From the perfumer to the model, the entire box design, and even breaking into the worldwide market, he had high expectations.He did not really care about the local market.
Since he was already involved to make things happen, he wanted to aim for the big one and become an instant hit.
By then, no one in the company would dare to look at him differently.
Lily spent the day in the laboratory and only noticed that she had a sore neck when she finally left.
She had spent the past few days researching the ingredient Benedict had given her and had purposefully refined it a little for observation.
Its unique properties as an ingredient intrigued her.
The general aroma tone would change with volatilization, but this ingredient did not.
The shift was so minute and amateurish that nobody would have seen it without looking for it.
In other words, the stability of the fragrance was very strong, which was an interesting discovery.
She had no idea how it would perform if it were turned into a perfume or essential oil.
Of course, this was only a preliminary idea, and the specific implementation did not guarantee the final result.
Speaking of which, she had not seen Benedict for a while, and there had been no news of the kid.
"Lily, there you are.I almost went in to find you." the colleague outside saw her and said.
"What's wrong?" Lily asked while putting on the hand cream she made.
"Someone came looking for you."
The woman said as she escorted her to the lobby, "She was here the whole afternoon.I said I would call you, but she wouldn't let me, so she just sat there.I'm almost off work now, so I thought! should let you know and have you see what’s happening."
Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 737
"Oh?"
Before Lily could ask who it was, she spotted a familiar face sitting in the reception room.
"Lisa?"
Lily was startled because she did not expect Lisa to come looking for her.She greeted Lisa with excitement.
'Why are you here?"
"I couldn’t reject your invitation!"
Lisa was enthusiastic and came to hug her with open arms, "Long time no see! I really missed you! "Well, I missed you too!"
Lily patted her on the back, "Do you have another show to attend?"
"I can only come if I have a show here?"
Lisa wanted to be a little more mysterious, but she could not hold back her cheerful personality, so she said, "I'm here to talk business with you."
"Business?"
Glancing at her colleagues who had already left work, she patted Lisa's hand lightly, "Give me a second.Let me grab some stuff and change.Then we'll go out and chat.You must be hungry.I'll treat you to something to eat."
Lisa nodded.
Lily quickly changed her clothes and called Alexander to tell him that a friend had come to meet her.
Then the two of them headed for dinner.
"What would you like to eat?" Lily asked while driving the car out of the parking lot.
Lisa rolled her eyes around, trying to think of something, and replied, "Hmm, I want to try something I haven't had in a while since I’ve been away for so long.How about burgers?"
When Lisa said the word "burgers," her eyes lit up.
Lily could not help but laugh, "Okay, then, burgers!"
She found a popular burger joint nearby and ordered their signature deluxe with a side of fries and pickles.
Lisa pointed at the menu and ordered a double spicy burger with fries and a side of caesar salad.
After ordering, she looked up and saw Lily looking at her and smiling.
She tilted her head and asked, "Why? Don’t you have enough cash? That’s impossible! I thought your fiance is loaded!"Lisa had heard about Lily and Alexander and teased her.
Lily smiled and said, "I'm not afraid I don’t have enough to treat you, but I thought you were on a diet.Is it a cheat day?"
"sigh!"
She waved her hands and said, "Don't talk about something so negative when we’re supposed to be enjoying our meal!"
After taking a sip of the drink, Lisa continued, "I'll diet after this meal! Since I’m here, I need to enjoy the food!"
Of course, Lily was also joking with her.The burgers came right on time, piping hot.
Lily wanted to try Lisa’s burger because it looked very tempting.
Lisa offered her a bite, and they both started to share their meals.
"What’s up with the business?"
Lily only raised this question halfway through the meal.
Lisa repeatedly nodded, "Yes, I almost forgot! I'm here this time to do business with you.Could you make a series of perfumes for me? About four of them."
Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 738
"What do you mean? What's the theme? Who is it for? Are there any requirements for the type or scent? When do you need it? What’s the budget?"
Lily started firing off questions right away.
Lisa, who was munching on fries, was stunned.She blinked and replied, "Uh..."
"you’re not sure, but you came to me with a business proposal?"
Lily laughed at her and said, "Besides, there are so many perfumers over there, and many top-notch perfumers.Your father is one too.Why did you come all the way here to find me? Unless, of course, the burgers drew you here.Lily was only partially joking when she teased Lisa.Regardless of Lily’s degree of development, Lisa's father was already a well-known industry leader, as was the research team under him.Their company was already quite advanced, so why would Lisa go out of her way to find her? Was it done on purpose to give Lily a chance to shine? "Of course not!"
Pretending to be angry, Lisa continued, "Well, here’s what happened.My father and the others are currently engaged in a project and are unavailable for the time being.The ladies in our company liked the perfume you made for me before, so I was hoping you could agree.
"I've written the theme and requirements down on my phone.I'm sending them to you because I'll forget about them otherwise."
She pulled out her phone and continued, "I made a deal with the company.You must know that our costume jewelry is all sourced from designated companies.This used to include perfumes, but I convinced them that the perfume should have its own qualities.After all, this catwalk is an annual show.How can it stand out if it's just ordinary brand-name perfumes?"Lily put her hand on her forehead and smiled helplessly, Those brands you’re in charge of are ordinary?"
Lisa was flattering, as evidenced by how she emphasized the word "ordinary."
"Isn't it ordinary?"
She closed her eyes and thought about it, then said, "Most people can buy and own what they can, no matter how much it costs.Isn't that considered ordinary? To tell you the truth, I think the perfume my dad makes is pretty common."
Lily said, "Thank you very much!"
She felt very flattered.
"I've sent it to you.Think about it,"
After sending the message, Lisa thought about it and said, "No, think quickly, and you still have to agree with me anyway."I told myself before I came that I would make a deal!"
After turning on the phone and reviewing the message, she saw that the requirements were quite simple.
It was just four variants with different characteristics but under the same theme.
It was a series to express the different characters and charms of women.
There was still ample time to prepare.
"The price can be negotiated, and it'll definitely satisfy you."
"For this, you should talk to my company."
Lily said, "After all, my project is now being approached by the company."
"I don't care.I want you to take care of it! I will only talk to you and no one else!"
Continuing to stuff her face, Lisa said, "I only trust you!"
That sentence touched Lily deeply.
She sighed, "Okay, I'll think about it."
After dropping Lisa off at the hotel, Lily got in the car and headed back to her own place.
Frankly speaking, the price offered was quite attractive, but she had never done a series related to one theme for along time, and she was interested.
Lisa’s arrival made her want to start her own studio even more.
Firstly, her affairs would not involve the company, and secondly, it would be more convenient for her to talk about business and other matters.
Even without a complete plan but with a rough idea in mind, it had to be implemented immediately since the idea was still surging around.
Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 739
Lily was about to reach home when she received a call from her husband, "Are you on the way home?"
"I’m almost there," Lily replied, “Five more minutes."
"Wait for me at the door, but don't come in,"
Alexander said, "I'll be out right away."
Lily was stunned, asking, "You’re going out?"
"Um."
"Is something wrong?"
"I'll tell you later."
After some thought, Lily nodded and replied, "Well, I'll be there soon."
Soon enough, Lily drove into the neighborhood.
As soon as she arrived at the villa's gate, she saw Alexander walking out.He dressed casually, so it did not seem like a momentous occasion.
Still, he did not mention where he was going.
Alexander opened the driver-side door, which confused Lily.
"I'll drive.You've been busy all day.Take a rest."
"Oh?" Lily replied, unbuckled her seatbelt, and got out of the car to move to the passenger seat.
"Why didn't you tell Edward to drive?"
"It’s just the two of us, and I don’t want him to tag along." Alexander smiled, started the car, and turned to ensure Lily had fastened her seatbelt.
"Let's go!"
He looked mysterious and said nothing else.
Lily did not know where he was going to take her.
"It’s so late.Where are we going? Have you eaten yet? Lisa and I had dinner just now."
She stated in advance for fear that Alexander was taking her out to eat.
After a while, she continued, "I-If you want to eat, I can accompany you.We can go have some dessert."
"You want dessert?" Alexander asked casually after hearing her say that.
"Sure, that works."
"How about Sapphine's Treasure Hut?"
"All right."
Alexander drove directly toward the dessert shop.
Fortunately, there were only a few people around.He got off the car to buy two desserts and packed some snacks before bringing them to the car.He handed the things to Lily and said, "Wait.Let’s eat these later."
Lily was puzzled.It did not seem like they were going to eat.
Lily could not help but ask again, "Where are we going?"
"You'll find out later."
Alexander smiled and focused on driving.It took little time, but Alexander drove and stopped in front of a garden.
The garden looked plain and simple, so Lily looked at her husband suspiciously.
She saw him removing the car key and walking forward to open the gate.
Curiosity filled Lily as she followed him in, only to find something special inside.
Firstly, there were plenty of flowers and plants in the garden, but they had yet to grow fully.It was not the right season yet, but they were still thriving green, which was pleasing to the eyes.
Lily walked inside and saw two extensive laboratories with complete experimental equipment.
The pieces of equipment were not only complete but also very professional.
The quality was similar to those used in the company.
Everything looked new, as if construction workers had just completed the renovation.
Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 740
"Is this?" Lily guessed what it could be, but she was not sure.
"Do you like it?"
Without answering her question, Alexander iI looked around and was quite satisfied with the overall ; arrangement.
"What if I like it, and what if I don't? Is it mine if I like it?" Lily said half-jokingly, glaring at him as she touched the test tube lightly.
‘These are new!’ "That's right!"
Alexander answered with certainty, "It’s yours if you like it."
Lily pointed and looked at him with surprise.
"You bought all this ‘I for me?"
Although she had probably guessed it, she was still surprised to I hear him say that.
After all, she had just thought of getting a studio 4 for herself.
Alexander even chose the location and had it all renovated.
This is too coincidental.
Could he read her mind?
"Of course."
Alexander was delighted with her response.He walked over and put the keys in her hand.
"From now on, this place is yours.I've been around for about two months and thought this place was lovely.
The location is suitable.
"It’s quiet enough, and you can plant the materials you need in the garden.Although it’s not too big, you can still temporarily use this studio for the time being.It should be big enough."
‘Enough? It’s more than enough.It’s simply too much!’ Even if Lily had a preliminary idea, she never thought there would be such a big and excellent place to work.Even if she could rent two offices, it would be okay to use one first.
The garden was better than she had expected in many ways.
"I’m glad you like it!"
After seeing her smile, Alexander felt that so many days of searching and worrying were worth it.
"Speaking of which, shouldn't you reward me for giving you such a gift?"
Lily pursed her lips, stood on tiptoes, and kissed his cheek.
Suddenly, Alexander turned his head, kissed Lily’s lips, and deepened the kiss.
The couple kissed for a long time before Alexander said, "That will suffice."
"You should be satisfied!" Lily said as she playfully touched his nose.
"I’m never satisfied." Alexander let go of Lily.
"I'm a little hungry, so I'll get the desserts."
"Yeah," Lily nodded, watching him leave.
She turned around and walked around the area.
Alexander had turned the whole area into a unique laboratory with tall, expansive windows.
The natural sunlight during the daytime should be perfect for Lily to work.
Alexander was also thoughtful enough to have curtains with adequate shading properties installed so that the sun would not affect Lily too much if she needed to experiment in a shaded environment.
There were also two rows of desks with computers, printers, and other equipment, which were beyond her imagination.
Alexander had prepared everything Lily would ever need.
Lily was more than satisfied and was simply too excited about it.
Soon, Alexander brought in the dessert.
The couple sat at the table in the middle, opened the boxes, and smelled the sweet, tasty desserts.
Initially, Lily was full after eating burgers with Lisa, but Lily felt warm and thirsty.
The desserts Alexander bought could cool her down, so she ate half without realizing it.
"Why did you think of getting me a studio?"
She could not help but ask.
"Honestly, I just thought about getting my own studio today."
"Today? Didn't you have this idea before?"
Alexander said, glancing at Lily smilingly.
"Before..."
After pondering for a while, she said thoughtfully, "I might have, but I don't remember much."
"Even if you had, it was probably just a casual thought at that time.
Setting up a studio was easier said than done.
It took work to have everything put together.
