Chapter 28


    Lily almost stretched her finger to touch Alexander''s tanned skin and well-built muscles. She gulped


    subconsciously. “Lily? Lily?!” Nathaniel suspected Lily had hung up the phone whenhe did not get a


    response, so he kept calling her name.


    Lily widened her eyes as she watched Alexander''s tall figure lean toward her.


    His handsome face was getting closer and closer.


    She held her breath, and then…


    When their lips got close, Alexander turned sideways and gently kissed Lily on her cheek near her ear.


    Then he straightened his back and went straight into the walk-in closet.


    Thud! The phone slipped from Lily''s hand and rolled on the carpet.


    Fortunately, the phone fell onto the carpet.


    Otherwise, it would have shattered.


    Nathaniel was still on the other end of the call waiting for Lily’s response, when the loud thud hurt his


    eardrums.


    He hurriedly moved his ear away from the phone and eximed, “Lily! What the hell are you


    doing?!Are you even listening to me?" Lily squatted to pick up her phone and calmly wiped it.


    “Mr.Hall, what''s the matter? You can tell me," she said after confirming she did not damage her phone.


    "Why, you...!" Nathaniel suppressed his anger and told himself to tolerate her until they settled


    theirmatters during the press conference.


    "The press conference I mentioned earlier is scheduled for tonight.


    Come to MN Inc.


    We’ll rehearse on the road.

    affected MN Inc.


    Thepany is our life''s work, and you have sacrificed much for it too.


    I don''t think you would want anything to happen to it, do you? Listen, I knowI might make you feel


    aggrieved this time, but thepany will be more popr and influential once we resolve this


    matter.


    We''ll get married after that, okay?" He promised to marry her again, using his eloquence to coax her


    repeatedly, but Lily no longer gave a d*mn.


    "All right, then." Lily paused and pretended Nathaniel had persuaded her.


    “You’re right.I’ve put much effort into MN Inc.and don''t want anything bad to happen to it." ''If I could put

    that much effort into apany, I can alsowithdraw from it.If I built it, I could destroy it as I please,’ Lily


    thought.


    Nathaniel was relieved when he heard Lily''s words, "Then hurry to thepany.


    I''ll be waiting for you!" When Lily hung up the phone, she stood up and realized her husband had


    already put on his robe, as if he was going to bed.


    "I''ll be outter since the press conference is tonight,” Lily said bluntly.


    She knew it was better to be honest and tell her husband about it because he would eventually find out


    anyway.


    "What''s the hurry? It''s still early, so let''s rest for a while,” Alexander slowly approached Lily as he


    continued, “I’ve adjustedthe water temperature and prepared the stuff you need.
