Chapter 81


    Lily smiled silently. So, Jenny decided not to push the subject, “Okay then, miss secretive! Since you


    have your knight in shining armor to pick you up, I won‘t be your escort then I‘ll take my leave See you!”


    Lily nodded and parted ways with Jenny at the entrance of the building As Jenny was backing out of


    the car park, she turned her head and saw Lily still standing there she was about to ask Lily why she


    was still there when she saw Lily dashing across the other direction Out of curiosity, Jenny slowed


    down her car to look at Lily. She saw Lily running toward a ck sedan and hopped in. Then the car


    drove off. The sedan windows were dark, so Jenny could not see the person sitting inside


    “Gosh! I‘m just too nosy sometimes!” Shaking her head, Jenny smiled. As she stepped on the


    elerator, the ck sedan overtook her and sped off, “W–Was that a Maybach?!” Jenny felt dizzy


    when she noticed the brand of the car Lily was in


    “You smell good today. Did you just shower?” Alexander said as he extended his hand to stroke Lily‘s


    hair


    “Yup, I even washed my hair thrice,” Lily announced as she moved closer and leaned against his


    shoulderfortably.


    Alexander adjusted his posture so Lily could lean on him morefortably. He gathered some of Lily‘s


    hair, ced it close to his nose, and took another sniff, “Yeah, it smells perfect.” “I finally passed my


    test, and now I‘m an official Rebirth staff member,” Lily happily announced as she recalled her


    conversation with Jenny a while ago. She was proud of winning Jenny‘s acknowledgment by proving


    herself through her own capabilities. Since quitting MN Inc., Lily had not made any new friends in the


    industry. She was also weary from her ongoingwsuit and the bad press that followed suit. Still, she


    was grateful that Alexander was by her side whenever she had to deal with these exhausting


    interpersonal rtionshipsProperty belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    Alexander frowned after hearing what Lily said “What do you mean? I thought George already stated


    that you‘re a staff of Rebirth.”


    “S – Sorry, that‘s not what I meant. Anyway, this is just the first step for thepany to acknowledge


    me.” Lily knew that this was only the beginning. Although she got a good head start, Lily needed to


    ensure she could continue growing so that she could stand alongside Alexander


    Alexander thought of what Lily said and was pretty confused with how the conversation turned, but he


    decided to let it slide. All that mattered to him was Lily‘s happiness. “Well, MN Inc.’s factories will be


    having some issues soon,” Alexander continued while stroking one of Lily’s hands.


    Lily had long, slender fingers and a very fairplexion, but her hands were not smooth That was


    because she had to work in ab, conducting various experiments anding into contact with


    different chemicals. Some parts of her hands were smooth, but the rest were


    rough. Alexander felt a rough spot on her hand, and he stroked it fondly.


    “What type of issues?” Lily questioned while allowing him to y with her hand. “I heard it has


    something to do with the essential oil used in their fragrances. Their final product couldn‘t pass the


    approval test, so now they‘re trying to save it. They even called for their staff members who were on


    vacation,” Alexander exined.


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


    “Oh, it‘s nothing.” Lily looked straight at him. “Nate and Mel called me today. They said there was


    something they‘d like to discuss with me in person. Now that I think about it, it might be rted to their


    essential oil problem.”


    “Did you agree to their invitation?” Alexander questioned her. “Of course not!” Lily scorned, “I‘m the


    defendant, and they‘re the intiff. We‘re not even supposed to meet outside of court! Besides, I no


    longer work for MN Inc., so why should I be involved in their problems? There‘s no way I‘ll see them


    because of this.”


    Lily pursed her lips in annoyance. It might have been because she had just taken a shower, but her lips


    looked slightly darker with a tinge of baby pink. Still, she had a disdainful expression, and Alexander


    loved seeing it. He moved closer, grabbed Lily‘s chin, and pulled her in for a kiss.
