Chapter 1368


    Lily stared nkly at the shattered ss on the ground, anxiety rising as though the sharp sound had


    found its way into her heart.


    Then she crouched down to pick them up before Olivia quickly grabbed her.


    "Don''t! Let me do it!"


    "I''m sorry..."


    Lily mumbled.


    It seemed like she was in a trance.


    "What are you apologizing for? This is your studio,"


    Olivia joked, trying to lighten the mood.


    She noticed Lily''s absentmindedness today but did not bring it up or ask any questions.


    Once she saw how out of it Lily was, Olivia knew Lily couldn''t continue working.


    "Go and rest.Leave this to me!" Olivia said, pushing Lily out before she turned to clean up the mess on


    the floor.


    It was fortunate that the contents were merely perfume- making raw materials.


    Even if it were broken and scattered, it wouldn''t be harmful.


    Once she was done cleaning up, she saw Lily sitting on the sofa outside with a calm look.Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org.


    However, Lily seemed immersed in her phone, scrolling through her messages.


    "Has Mr.Russell not replied to you?"


    Olivia asked as she walked to the sk on the table and found that it was empty.


    Then she turned to boil some water to fill it up.


    It was no secret that Alexander was off on a business trip, and Olivia knew about it.


    Edward was tagging along as well, so she understood how Lily felt.


    "Did Edward call you?" Lily asked.


    Oliva shook her head and replied, "I think it should be fine.This is not their first business trip.They''re


    used to flying around like this.Despite this, this trip was a special case.If things were not serious, they


    would leave early and be back by the evening.This time, it had been two days.Lily knew what Olivia


    meant, but she still had no idea why she felt so flustered.


    Lily''s grip on her phone tightened.


    There was an unexinable sense of unease that lingered in her.


    "Edward texted me that they had arrived safely.He said that although the incident this time isn''t small,


    it''s nothing new.They will check on the situation first, find out the cause of the poisoning, and look into


    the ones responsible for it.Then they''ll figure out how to deal with it and whatpensation they


    should give.They''lle back once that’s settled,"Olivia said.


    While waiting for the water to boil, she continued, "Something simr happened here before.When it


    in charge must be held responsible unless the perpetrators are found.That way, they will be punished


    ordingly.These things areplicated.Don''t worry too much."


    "People are dead," Lily uttered.


    Her mood was low, probably because of the deaths rted to this case.


    When she heard that there were casualties, her heart dropped.


    In some cases, there was a drastic difference between the number of deaths and those wounded.


    They were still La Beaute Group’s employees, even if she did not know them.


    They all had their own lives.


    It was natural for her to feel a little unsettled.


    Hearing this, Olivia also lowered her eyes and sighed faintly.


    At this moment, the kettle clicked.


    Olivia then grabbed two sachets of tea and put them in two cups.


    After filling them with boiled water, she brought them to Lily and ced them in front of her."Here, this


    is to calm you down.You''re still pregnant.You shouldn''t be stressing yourself out."


    Lily put one hand on her lower abdomen.She knew that feeling this way would not be good for the


    baby, but it was not easy to control her emotions.


    "Let''s talk about something else.I heard that you''re helping a chubby girl lose weight?"


    Olivia asked in a rxed tone in an attempt to divert not only Lily''s attention but also her own. Lily


    nodded.


    "I suppose so."
