With such a close distance, along with her own aroma, she had pretty high confidence. "You speak the Westwood language?" Alexander was shocked because he did not know about this. "A little bit," she smiled. She did not think it was something worth sharing. In contrast, the store they were at was much more worth discussing. "It's fascinating here." Alexander did not ask any further questions because she obviously did not want to discuss the matter of being able to speak the language. He continued her topic, "Then take a guess, what’s the material for this?" The clerk beside him was about to speak, but Alexander stopped him with his eyes. Seeing him full of confidence, as if he was sure she could not guess the material, Lily was a little amused, "Southbank soap. Did you think I couldn’t answer?"Alexander kept quiet. The smile on his face condensed for a moment. He probably did not expect her to answer accurately in one go, "You’ve seen this before?" "I h
“Mr. Corden, it's a pleasure to meet you," Alexander shook hands with him, but it was apparent that the other party was more enthusiastic.Lily looked at Mr. Corden's warm and familiar appearance, as well as his fluent language. Was this an appointment in advance? "How is it? I didn't exaggerate with you, right? To tell you the truth, in this area, I dare not say that my Southbank Soap is the best, but it is the most creative," He raised his hand and pointed to the rows of shelves."Since these can be used as handicrafts, one can also use them to clean the skin. More than 85% of the Southbank Soap is vegetable oil. I don't need to say more about the benefits to the skin. You know it to some extent, but apart from its own value, it can be developed into more and even given as a gift to friends and relatives.” Mr. Corden was the boss here because since he came in, the clerks inside became much more nervous, and their attitudes had become more respectful.Knowing that Alexa
A thought flashed through Lily’s mind. Seeing the look on his face, she wanted to tease him. She smiled gently and said half-jokingly, “I think the store is quite interesting. Why don’t you buy it, Mr. Russell?”Of course, she was only joking. No matter how wealthy a businessman was, he needed to plan before making any moves. It was not like buying clothes where one could buy whatever they fancied.However, she had forgotten that Alexander was not an ordinary person. To him, buying such a store was not like buying clothes. It was as simple as buying a cup of coffee or a bun.Thus, he replied, “Okay.”Lily was taken aback. “What?!”‘Hahaha.’ Alexander laughed to himself.“B-But…” Lily looked at Alexander's expression and realized that he was not joking. She quickly changed her words and said, “I was joking. Please don’t take it seriously. You should think carefully before deciding to buy a store.”“There’s no need to think further. If you’re okay with it, it’s good enough.” Alexa
Loius stared at her intently with a little smile. “You’re the manager of this project.”Lily was shocked. ‘Since when did I become a project manager? What am I in charge of? I have no idea what the project was about.’ “Nice to meet you, Ms. Christian,” Louis said as he beamed. “Your name sounds familiar to me.”“Oh, I remember now. You’re the winner of the recent perfumery competition, Lily Christian. That was you, right?” Louis asked.Lily had not expected the news to spread so quickly that even people in Marseille knew about it. Moreover, his company specialized in making Southbank soap and was not in the field of perfumery. Now that someone had recognized her, she could be considered a little famous.“Yes, I am.” She nodded in response.Louis’s eyes instantly lit up. “It truly is you! I’m honored to meet you! To be honest, Mr. Russell, I was worried when you said you wanted to combine perfume and the Southbank soap. But if the person in charge is Ms. Christian, then I can res
She did not hate Southbank soap, but it was too insincere to treat corporate gifts as gifts.“It seems that this gift isn’t valuable enough to satisfy you. It’s okay. I have other gifts.” He caught up with her in a few steps and blocked her way.Lily could not do anything but stand there and stare at him as he blocked her path. “Is it another gift under the guise of a corporate gift?” As expected, businessmen would seize every opportunity to generate profit. He did not miss any business opportunities, even when he brought her out to play.“Of course not!”Lily stared at him for a while before she reached out, “Where’s my gift?”He hurriedly handed her the gift bag he was holding, “Didn’t you say you don’t want it?”“I changed my mind!” She opened the bag and looked inside. Unlike ordinary soaps with various fragrances, they had a faint smell of vegetable oil. No matter the color or shape, their smell was the same. The only difference was the concentration of the scent.She did
Lily thought Alexander would just go back to the hotel after finishing his business meeting. She did not expect him to bring her out for a meal. Alexander turned to her and asked, “Did you manage to try the food at the restaurant I recommended?” Lily recalled that chaotic day at the restaurant. She had not seen the boy after that and wondered how he was doing now. Having food allergies was not rare, in fact, many people suffered from one. From dairy products to seafood allergies, some even had allergic reactions to things like millet and eggs.There were actually endless possibilities when it comes to food allergies. It was understandable that some were unaware of their allergies, but Helen was the boy’s mother, how could she not know…?“Is there anything you’d like to have?” Alexander passed her the menu as he knew that she could speak and understand the Westwood language. Lily touched her earlobe and shook her head, “I’m not familiar with the food here. You should orde
“What kind of Southbank fish was used in this dish?” Lily tried to recall the taste of the stew. She could not identify the fish used, but she could taste a tinge of garlic, bay leaf, fennel, and cilantro. The most robust taste of the stew was the sourness of the tomatoes, onions, and celery. There were also several vegetables she would typically not eat as she disliked them, but they were not overbearing when used in the stew, and the taste was acceptable. “There isn’t a certain type of Southbank fish used in the stew,” Alexander explained while smiling as he heard her question. Lily immediately understood that she had asked a silly question. Bouillabaisse was a kind of stew that was traditionally made with Southbank fish. The fish used in the stew did not matter as it depended on their catch of the day. Lily was glad that it was only Alexander who had witnessed her embarrassment. “Then what kind of fish was used in this specific stew? I wasn’t able to identify it,” Lily too
Lily unconsciously glanced at Alexander before answering Olivia, “Nope, why?”Olivia sighed in relief, “Looks like he doesn’t have your number.”“Yeah,” Lily agreed.“He called me yesterday asking if I have your number. I asked him what for, but he refused to tell me. However, he sounded uneasy, and I was worried he’d cause you trouble. You didn’t give him your contact details, right?” Olivia asked again, trying to ease her worry. Lily rolled her eyes and commented, “Why would I do that? I’m already kind enough not to have blocked him.” “I’m glad to hear that. I didn’t give Nate your number either, so don’t worry. Still, with today’s technology, if he genuinely wanted to obtain your number, he would be able to. I feel so relieved after informing you about this. It’s good that you’re aware that he’s looking for you. I was worried he might be up to no good.”Once Olivia got off the phone with Nathaniel, she immediately called Lily to inform her about this.Olivia tried asking Na
