Chapter 295


    Lily was holding something in her hand when she came back this time. Alexander could not see what it


    was.


    Lily returned to the table with the sample, turned on the tablemp, and studied it in detail. Its fragrance


    was exceptional. It felt like someone had synthetically made it, but it was not. Its fragrance was utterly


    natural from the wood itself.


    She was very interested and wanted to know the source of this wood. However, it would be difficult to


    find if the youngd no longer made it.


    As for looking for someone… Lily turned her head to ask Alexander, but she did not expect that he was


    standing behind her. It startled her, “Why are you here all of a sudden?”


    “Where should I be, then?” Alexander''s tone was somewhat resentful, “Are you finally acknowledging

    me?”


    “I’m just thinking about something I can’t figure out.” Lily coquettishly tugged a corner of Alexander’s


    clothes and said, “I didn’t mean to ignore you.”


    “It annoys me even more because it’s not intentional.” Alexander squeezed her nose. He could not


    bear to stay angry and nced at the wood in Lily’s hand instead, “This is what’s bothering you?”


    “Yup.” Lily nodded in reply.


    Alexander pinched it with two fingers and brought it close to his nose before taking a sniff. “This piece


    of wood is very fragrant.” He said with a frown.


    “Yeah! You think it smells good, too, right? Most importantly, the fragrance is extraordinary. It’s unlike


    the typical sandalwood or other wood fragrances I’ve smelled. I have never encountered this before,”


    Lily replied.


    Alexander did not find it strange. “This world is so big. It’s normal to encounter something you have


    never seen before. It might be a species you don’t know. It is also possible that this was not an original


    species. Doesn’t grafting technology exist?”


    “Do you mean nt grafting?” Lily shook her head, “ I have seen it before at Middle Valley. Thetest


    raw materials we purchased for the new product are grafted nts. However, this one is different.” It


    was because of this that she was particrly interested in it.


    Seeing her frowning face, Alexander gave it a thought and said, “Where did you get this? From the


    same woodcarving shop?”


    “Yup.”


    “That’s simple. You need to ask the boss where he purchased the raw materials.” Alexander


    straightened up and felt that the problem was not thatplicated.


    “No, the boss doesn’t know. I got this piece of scrap wood from the part-time youngd working in their


    shop. I think he’s the only one who knows where it came from. I wanted him to keep some for me, but


    he suddenly stopped working there.” Lily sighed and felt a little depressed.


    “A youngd?” Alexander squinted his eyes slightly. The key point he paid attention to seemed different


    from Lily’s concern.


    However, Lily did not notice it as she was deep in contemtion. She continued, “Yeah. I think he’s not


    a simple handyman or an ordinary craftsman. I don’t know if his sudden resignation rtes to this piece


    of wood.”


    She picked the wood and looked at it carefully. Although she did not know if the whole situation was


    interrted, she had the intuition that was the case.


    “You seem to be very interested in him,” Alexander trapped Lily between himself and the table with


    both hands against the table. He leaned down, and his body emitted a dangerous demeanor.


    “To be exact, I’m interested in his wood. However, thisd seemed strange and had a very short


    temper. He’s quite interesting.” Lily remembered his temper, like gunpowder that could ignite at any


    time. Moreover, he was still a kid.
