Chapter 699


    At half past six, the seats in the ballroom of a five-star hotel in Brown City were almost full.


    Other than media reporters, there were also renowned perfumers and neers from the perfumery


    industry.


    Anyone who had any rtions to the perfumery world gathered here.


    After all, this incident caused an uproar and shook the entire perfume industry.


    Everyone wanted toe and see how Lily would exin herself.


    Everyone wanted to know if she would apologize for her wrongdoings or deny what she said in the


    recording.


    Alexander''s car did not drive to the main entrance.


    Instead, he arranged to enter through the back.


    Then a bodyguard escorted him through the VIP passage to the lounge.His secretary had arrived


    earlier to organize everything.


    Once she heard Alexandering, she quickly rushed over with a stack of papers.


    Although she managed to put on a calm face, her nervousness was seeping through.


    "Mr.Russell," she called out as she pushed open the door.


    When she looked around and did not see the person involved, she was surprised.


    "Ms.Christian...did she note?"


    "She has something to do.She''ll be here in a bit," Alexander replied lightly.


    Once the couple got off the ne, they went their separate ways.


    Lily returned to Rebirth while Alexander returned to La Beauté Group''s headquarters.


    When he was away, thepany''s backlog piled up, waiting for him to go through them.


    "Time is running out.The press conference will start soon.Almost all the reporters and media are here."


    Alexander’s secretary was aware of the unusual rtionship between her boss and Lily.


    Hence she dared not voice her dissatisfaction publicly.


    However, Alexander could tell that his secretary was a little unhappy.


    ‘This is all Lily''s fault.If it were someone else, she would have been fired immediately and held


    ountable by thepany.


    However, since that woman is important to Mr.Russel, I have no choice but to take care of her too! ‘The


    Thepany has never done so much for an employee, but Lily is an exception.


    Also, time is closing in, and she has yet to arrive!’ Although Alexander''s secretary had never met Lily,


    the prejudice in her heart was clouding her judgment.She had no idea what kind of woman Lily was to


    have made Alexander fall for her.


    His secretary heard that Lily belonged to the Lodge family in Sapphine.She wondered if Lily was


    another stuck-up, unreasonable youngdy.


    Judging from what Lily said in the recording, Alexander''s secretary assumed that Lily''s previous works


    and awards she had won were stolen products.


    "It''s not time yet, is it?" Alexander raised his wrist to look at the time.


    Then he calmly said, "Rose, when did you get so impatient?"


    Rose did not know what to say.


    Although she could tell he was not angry, after being by his side for so many years, she could hear the


    displeasure in his tone.


    So, she lowered her head and apologized, "I''m sorry, Mr.Russell.I''ve crossed the line."


    This is a big deal, after all.The impact of this incident on thepany isn''t just a tiny bump.I''m sure


    you''ve seen the charts as well.Besides the media, there are also a bunch of perfumers out there.


    There are some big names from the industry.


    "Moreover, the senior perfumers in ourpany are also very concerned about this.This matter does


    not only affect Ms.Christian.It affects thepany as a whole, including all our staff.However, seeing


    that Ms.Christian has yet to arrive, we might not have time to look through her script."


    "Forget it if you don''t have time." Alexander sat upright and rechecked the time.


    However, he had no intention of calling anyone.


    "Just wait a minute more."


    Rose could not refute and remain silent.
