The treatment at Rebirth may not be the best, but it was the position many fought for in the industry. After all, as long as they could stay in Rebirth, they could climb the ladder of the La Beauté Group. If they were lucky, they might rise up to the mid-managerial level.How did Lily get in so quickly? Judging from what happened earlier, Lily not only got in, but the other newcomers were quite protective of her too.Melanie did not receive any response from him. She looked at him and asked, "By the way, you've known her for so long. Do you know if Lily knows kickboxing?""Lily knows kickboxing?" Nathaniel was surprised, "Who did you hear that from?"Melanie was slightly surprised when she saw his reaction, which confirmed her speculation. Nathaniel had asked, 'Who did you hear that from?' and not, 'How could it be?” and there was a vast difference between the responses. It looked like Lily indeed knew kickboxing.How did he not know? If Nathaniel knew about this, Melanie would, t
He gave a very understated account of the situation. Indeed, she triumphed brilliantly. He was nearly killed, and the bodyguards were battered so severely they could not stand. That was also why he would not just provoke or grab Lily. Obviously, he could not go around telling people about his embarrassing experience, but his mother's remarks yesterday helped him overcome his pride.If she were related to the Lodge family in Brown City in any way, everything would make sense. It would be no surprise that she excelled in kickboxing and also found it so simple to transition into Rebirth after leaving MN Inc. It made more sense if the Lodge family were her backers, and they helped her get in through their connections.Melanie did not know his thoughts, let alone Lily's relationship with the Lodge family. She was still coming to terms with the fact that Lily knew kickboxing. Besides feeling shocked, Melanie was angry and jealous. Not only was Lily skilled and talented in making perfume, b
Nathaniel had said such words. At that moment, Melanie felt that their relationship was ending!"Fine! Since you're sorry for her, I'll leave!" She stood up and wiped her tears before continuing, "From now on, you don't need to worry about the baby and me! I'll leave!"She deliberately mentioned the baby to see his reaction and pressure him. What she did not expect was that this trump card was useless. Nathaniel looked at her coldly, "Do you really plan to give me a child, Mel?" Melanie immediately felt guilty. She did not intend to keep the baby and had made an appointment for the abortion in two days. Apart from her health condition, there was also her affair with Frank. She knew that it would eventually be a thorn in Nathaniel's heart. She cannot have the baby hold her back. Therefore, she absolutely cannot have the baby.The baby was her bargaining chip in negotiating with Nathaniel, as he did not know about the upcoming abortion. Could it be that the bargaining chip was use
Nathaniel forcefully pulled his hand from Melanie’s grip and sighed. “Forget it. Mel, we all know there’s no way for us to go back to the past. It’s impossible to start all over again!” He exclaimed. Then he lowered his eyes and looked at her belly. “I think we should forget about this child.”Those words caught Melanie off guard as she did not expect him to be so resolute about not having this child. He was someone that liked children, and he cared about their unborn child back then. Yet now, he was suggesting abortion. His words meant that he would break up with her.However, Melanie would not let that happen. Even if they were to break up, she thought she should be the one to bring it up, not him. What rights did he have? She had sacrificed so much for him, so many years of her youth. What rights did Nathaniel have to decide how their relationship moved forward?“Of course, but if you insist on keeping this child, I’ll be responsible for providing child support. However…” After a
“Hey, you’re here,’ the owner greeted Lily warmly. Lily nodded and took out the draft she had prepared in advance but did not hand it over. “Where’s the kid?”“Oh, that kid?” The owner laughed. “He hasn’t been showing up for the past two days. I have no idea what’s happening, and he wouldn’t answer his phone. I'll have him fired if he doesn’t show up again tomorrow. Young people nowadays are truly unreliable.” ‘He hasn’t been here for two days?’ Lily thought to herself before asking again, “Didn’t he work for you for a long time already?”The owner shook his head. “Who told you that? It has only been a couple of months. Besides, I saw that he had some carving skills. I’ve been preoccupied recently, and there’s no one watching the store. Hence, I let him work here. However, I didn’t expect that he’d be so unreliable. Look, he’s only been working for a while and stopped coming without saying a word.”As the owner spoke of this, he seemed to think of something. “Oh, don’t worry. We
Lily had no idea what was going on. “I’m sure Ms. Gray hasn’t told you yet. So, what’s happening is that the company has received an invitation to the perfumery competition, and the company has decided to send you as our representative,” George explained as he pushed a purple invitation letter toward her.Lily was shocked. “The biannual perfumery competition?” She was no stranger to this competition. This competition occurred every two years to select the best perfumers in the industry. As the competition aimed to find the finest young blood among perfumers, famous perfumes in the industry were not allowed to participate. Of course, rookies were allowed to participate in trying their luck if they thought they were skilled enough. Nevertheless, someone must refer them. Therefore, most participants were juniors or intermediate perfumers who wanted to win the attention of the elite perfumers and make a name for themselves in the industry.“Why me?” Lily questioned. She was new to
Lily left the office and went to the supermarket to buy some groceries since the refrigerator at the house was pretty empty. Anyway, there was nothing to do, so she bought some and went back to replenish. After going to the supermarket, she stopped by a famous pastry shop to buy some cakes and snacks and finally took a cab back. The detour of her usual route was how she became aware that someone seemed to be following her. With the habit of body combat and her natural insight, she could sense that someone was following her. She initially ignored it, but she grew vigilant when she saw she was still being followed even after several turns. It was hard to say who it was, and it was unclear what the purpose could be, but it made her very uncomfortable. When Lily got into the cab, she gave Olivia’s address.She wanted to visit Olivia’s new home and inform her about the temporary cancellation of the trip. She went there once and vaguely remembered walking throu
"Did you go to Nathaniel and force him to break up with me?" Melanie asked bluntly.Lily was confused and remained silent. "Stop pretending! Just admit what you’ve done and stop beating around the bush! I never expected that you’d have such tricks up your sleeves,” Melanie sneered at her but did not dare to approach. She still remembered that Lily knew kickboxing, so she kept a distance. "Mel, are you out of your mind?" Lily could not hold back at Melanie, "If there’s something wrong with you, go find a doctor. Don’t come here with your nonsense and expect me to deal with you. I’m not a doctor. Settle your case with Nathaniel on your own. Get out of my face! You disgust me!”After saying that, Lily also waved her hand in repulsion. Melanie's face turned red after being humiliated. "Lily, don't go around deceiving people! Do you still think you can get back together with him? It's impossible!" Melanie walked forward slowly, gradually approaching Lily.
