Chapter 166 “That‘s nonsense! Of course Mr. Russell smiles!” “No, that’s not what I meant. He smiled a
genuine smile!”
“Of course it’s real! Why would his smile be fake? Watch your words. If Mr. Russell hears this, you‘re
done for!”

“I‘m trying to say that Mr. Russell usually smirks, and it‘s scary. When he does that, it‘ll most likely lead
to something bad. His smile just now was real though, like one we‘d all have. It was

out of character.
Lily waited for a long time, but she had not received a reply from Alexander. She kept checking her
phone, her face turning a darker shade of red as she read the embarrassing text between Alexander
and her. Gosh, she was acting like him. How could she have said something so ufortable?
“What‘s wrong? Why are you shaking your head and sighing?” Lily was so engrossed that she failed to

notice when Jenny finished her work and came over to her. “Nothing, just trying to rx, so I was on
my phone. You‘re done?” Lily quickly replied. “Yeah,” Jenny nodded and sat next to Lily. “I submitted
the purchase list from Garden Road, and guess what?” “What?” Lily asked.
“They approved with no hassle. Let me tell you, I‘ve worked here for a long time, but I‘ve never
submitted my purchasing orders with such a breeze. This was a miracle! It was just so smooth and
hassle–free!” Jenny pped her hands in astonishment.
“Right.” Lily already knew it would not be a problem. How could there be an issue when thepany
director had already cleared it?
Jenny started eyeing Lily with curiosity when she reacted all too calmly to the news, “Now, tell me
honestly, are you sure your boyfriend isn‘t an executive in ourpany?”
“Erm… no.” He was not in an executive position. Alexander was, in fact, the director of the La Beauté
Group, so technically, he owned thepany and was nowhere close to being an executive.
“Really?” Jenny narrowed her eyes at Lily questioningly. “Our business trip was amazing, and we were
well taken care of. Isn‘t this all because of you? You can tell me, and I promise to keep your secret.
Don‘t you trust me?”
“He’s not someone at the executive level, Jenny, I promise to tell you when the right timees,
okay?” Lily looked troubled.
If she allowed Jenny‘s imagination to run wild, she might find out who Alexander was, and
just the thought sent chills down Lily’s spine. Well, not that she did not trust Jenny, but if more people
knew about her rtionship with Alexander, the higher the risk of them being exposed. Lily did not want
that to happen yet.
Alexander‘s identity was sensitive, and he held such a prominent position in thepany that if their
rtionship were to be exposed, Lily could imagine just how big of a ripple it would cause,
Besides, she did not want the Lodge family to find out. The only way to prevent this from happening
was to continue to keep it a secret from Jenny. Jenny let it go after staring at Lily for a while. It was not
like she was nosy, she was just curious about the strange urrences the past few days. However,
after asking Lily twice and seeing her pained reaction, Jenny decided not to push it,” Fine then, if you
don‘t want to talk about then we won‘t. Still, you promised you‘ll show him to me when the time is right!
Don‘t you dare break your promise!” “Okay, I won‘t!” Lily was d that she could finally put an end to it.
“Are you hungry? Why don‘t we go out for dinner?” After finishing her tasks for the day, Jenny was
famished. “Didn‘t you say that there was a restaurant you wanted to try? Why don‘t we go there?” Lily
said after giving it some thought. “Yeah, sounds good. Let‘s go,” Jenny nodded.
