Chapter 1274


    Suppressing herughter, Lily wiped tears off the corners of her eyes. "You see, due to the nature of


    our work, Olivia and I have been exposed to all kinds of nts, and we''re no strangers to bugs. How


    could we not tell a mosquito bump from a hickey?"


    "Then why did she..." He frowned. "She did it on purpose!"


    Nodding, Lily said, "Il remember Oliviaining to mest month about some girl who kept tagging


    after Edward. I''m not sure if she was being sensitive or what, but Olivia was upset. I guess she''s just

    trying to use the mosquito bump as an excuse to vent her anger."


    Alexander finally realized what it was all about. He and Edward thought wrongly that a mosquito bite


    could make a woman jealous.


    "But..." Even so, he had a question. He watched as she applied the facial mask to the dresser with her


    back facing him. "Howe you''ve never gotten jealous?"


    "Why should I?" Lily posed a follow-up questions while lifting her face to make the facial mask sit well.


    Alexander thought about it. ‘I''ve had many suitors, and Brittany was crazy for me at one point.


    However, Lily has seemingly never gotten jealous of me"


    "Don''t you worry that--


    She interrupted. "Nope!"


    Turning around, Lily only showed her eyes and mouth with the facial mask still on, but her gaze was


    unyielding.


    "Although we haven''t been together for a long time, unlike those who have spent eight to ten years


    together, you''ve given me a sense of security!


    Every day when you wake up, you''d kiss and hug me whenever you left home. No matter what


    happened, you''d tell me about it and protect me first when there was danger.


    "Why should I get suspicious of someone like you? What''s there to worry about? Alex, I used to be


    someone without a sense of security. But after meeting you, I''ve never felt safer!"


    Lily spoke calmly, and when she was done, she looked ridiculous as she fought to keep the mask from


    falling off her face, still, Alexander was ovee with emotion.


    Suddenly, he felt that he had been utterly stupid and childish today.


    ‘Why must she get jealous to prove that she cares about me? She trusts me, and that''s why she has


    never been jealous."


    "Lily..." Calling her name softly, Alexander walked over and gently pulled her into his arms. "I love you!"


    "You''re making my facial mask fall off!" At such a sentimental moment, she reached out her hand to


    push him off instead. Alexander was taken aback.


    ‘Well, this is the woman I love!’


    Aside from the two floors ofbs, the elevator to the top floor required an ess card. Lily had only


    gone there twice, and Thompson had dealt directly with her ever since.


    At this moment, three individuals were sitting in the top-floor office.


    Furrowing his brow, Thompson grasped his head as if it would fall off if he let go.


    "We received news from La Beauté Group that they will divest." His deep voice showed signs of


    exhaustion and helplessness.


    ‘They''re our main investor. Once they divest, our working capital would be insufficient, and the


    experiment would have to stop immediately."


    "At what stage is the experiment now?" Sitting with his legs crossed on a big sofa chair made of


    genuine leather, a man looked rtively calm.


    "It''s already at ate stage. In fact, I think we''re very close to sess!"


    "Close is never enough. Even if you''re one step away from your goal, it''s still a failure!"


    The rude statement made Thompson flush.
