Chapter 165


    Chapter 165 Alexander‘s reply was fast but brief, just one word, “Yeah.” Lily smiled as she read his


    message. She removed her shoes andy on the sofa. Then she replied, “I went to Garden Road today


    and finally found what I needed.”


    “Red Sandalwood?” Alexander asked. Lily‘s smile froze when she read his reply. She pouted and


    typed, “Howe you know everything?” “That‘s because it‘s in the books.” Alexander even added a


    shrugging emoji at the end. Lily had to read the message a few times before understanding his


    meaning. Of course, Alexander would eventually find out since Lily did spend a considerable amount of


    thepany‘s money to buy the red sandalwood.


    Naturally, thepany‘s finance department would record this amount as thepany‘s purchases.


    After all, it would have to be approved by the finance manager and the director. However, Lily was still


    surprised that Alexander had quickly received the news.


    If it were a regrpany, it would probably take a few days before the executives became aware of


    it. Alexander was, in a way, terrifying since he possessed a robust informationwork.


    “What‘s wrong?” Alexander asked after noticing Lily had not replied to his previous message. “Nothing.


    When are you leaving?” Lily quickly texted as she stole a nce in Jenny‘s direction. Jenny had buried


    her face in herptop as her fingers typed away. Since Jenny was busy replying to her emails, she

    would not have time to notice what Lily was up to.


    Lily lowered her head and returned her focus to her phone screen. “Don‘t worry. I‘ll leave soon. Why


    are you so fixed on making me leave? How can you just dump me after using me?”


    Lily was speechless. ‘He can be so childish and dramatic sometimes. What does he mean by d?mping


    him after using him? He‘s just being ridiculous now!‘


    After some thought, she imitated Alexander‘s texting tone, “Yep. I‘m done. Are you?” ‘Reply to that, why


    don‘t you?‘ Alexander could not help but chuckle. He quickly replied, “Why don‘t we keep trying?” “Fine.


    Let‘s try this again.”


    Alexander could imagine Lily typing on her phone with an embarrassed but determined expression as


    he read her messages. It made him feel warm inside since he missed her and could not wait to get


    home after finishing his work.


    He finally looked up from his phone, and everyone eyed him like an alien. Alexander frowned in


    annoyance and remarked, “What‘s with your faces? Don‘t you guys have work to do?”


    “Y – Yes, sir!” Everyone replied while nodding.


    “I’m leaving,” Alexander said, standing from his seat. He had no intentions of staying any


    longer. One of the employees mustered his courage and asked Alexander before he left, “S–Sir, about


    the coboration...” “Just talk to the client following our initial proposal. I hate it when they try to


    bargain. We can move forward from there if they ept, or else we‘ll just look for another partner.” It


    was just one of La Beauté Group‘s many projects. Even if their deal did not work out, La Beauté would


    not lose much, as it all depended on whether or not both parties saw eye to eye. Alexander left


    straightaway after finishing his sentence. Unbeknownst to him, he had left the meeting room with


    gossip that couldst them a lifetime, “Did you see that? Mr. Russell was smiling!”
