Lily roughly talked about getting kidnapped in Westwood but skipped over Alexander's trip to Westwood to find her. In addition, she omitted and understated the part about herself dealing with the kidnappers. Even so, her two friends looked pale with fright."Yikes! The kidnappers had guns?!""They must be terrorists!" "How did you get yourself into that situation?"The duo sighed in amazement. Just imagining the scene was already terrifying, and seeing Lily seemingly unscathed was a miracle. Jenny looked at Lily worriedly and said, "Lily, are you sure you're okay? Please let us know if there’s anything wrong. Don’t keep it to yourself.”Olivia, on the sidelines, added, "Yeah! Don’t let it traumatize you! No matter what they did, you must tell us! We’re your best friends, and we’ll help you keep it a secret! Lily was at a loss for words but replied, "Why does it sound like you two wanted something to happen to me?”"How is that possible!""Don't talk nonsense!"It was t
Lily knew Alexander would not do such a pompous thing, so she did not know what was happening. She just kept thinking that someone was pranking her.The balloon floated up and formed a beautiful scene. The ladies in the crowd thought the balloons were romantic, so they stuck their heads out the window to see who had sent them."Look! There's someone there!""Yeah! Right downstairs!""Is he holding flowers? Wow! What a big bouquet!""Let's see! It's a big bunch of red roses! Exactly ninety-nine, right?"The exclamations came one after another, and many had already begun looking toward Jenny's office with envious eyes."T-That’s…" The trio in the office was stunned. Initially, Olivia thought it was Alexander’s doing, but when she turned to look at Lily's face, Lily was not happy at all. People were calling someone downstairs, so she poked her head out the window to look down.Initially, the person standing downstairs was far away, so Olivia could not see clearly. Coincidentally,
"Someone made a complaint that you’re littering in public and polluting the environment. Please come with us to assist in the investigation," one of the authorities said.Nathaniel’s eyes widened in disbelief, but he was willing to comply, "I only put up a few balloons. How is that polluting the environment? Besides, there are people selling balloons on the street all day long. Go and catch them instead!" "There’s no problem with a couple of balloons, but when it reaches a certain number, It will affect the delivery site and cause certain consequences, so you must bear those consequences and responsibility."'Nathaniel was very unconvinced, "What consequences did I cause? What was the impact?" One of them moved his hat and glanced upstairs, "Someone complained because you affected other people's working conditions." "Who complained? Who complained about me? Tell me! I want to ask in person how it affected them! Don't touch me! Do you know who I am?"It would be too
In fact, what Jenny said was right. It was very annoying to have this going on and on. Lily thought that her relationship with Nathaniel was over, but he was still very connected to her.She could understand if it was work-related, but what was he trying to do now?Calling the police to take him away was just a temporary solution. Since it was not a major crime, he would, at most, be fined and released afterward. Then what? What if he came back the next day?"Anything on your mind?" Alexander hugged Lily from behind. He had been reading a book but saw her holding a watering can and watering the same pot of flowers for a long time. That poor pot of flowers was about to drown but she had no intention of stopping. "Huh?" Lily finally came to her senses and saw the flower pots in front of her overflowing, "Yeah!" She hurriedly stopped what she was doing and turned to go to water another pot, but he grabbed the watering can from her hand and put it aside, "Okay, don't harm
"If you want to settle this yourself, I don’t have an issue with that. If you feel annoyed and don’t want to come forward, I can help you solve it,” he threw the towel aside, took her hand, and kneeled in front of her. He said gently, "You have to know that no matter how you decide, I’ll respect your opinion."Lily suddenly felt very touched and wanted to cry. She wrapped her arms around his neck while pouting, "Honey, you are so kind!"She meant that from the bottom of her heart, as she was fortunate to have him.Alexander trembled as if he did not hear clearly, “What did you say? Could you repeat it?” "You're the best!" Lily whispered as she buried herself in his shoulders. "Not this sentence, the previous one! Say it again!" He pulled away some distance and looked into her eyes. After being married for so long, she never changed how she addressed him. She always called him by his name and occasionally called him Mr. Russell. She did not change her ways, and he did
The most famous five-star hotel in the city was sixty-six floors tall. It overlooked the entire city. Still, Nathaniel rarely went there, even with his financial resources. He had probably only gone there twice because of a customer’s invitation.However, he had invited Lily there, even though he was slightly apprehensive. Nathaniel was not quite sure what Lily had in mind. ‘Will she be willing to give me a chance, or will she want to test me? Maybe Lily still resents me.’No matter what it was, Nathaniel thought he still had a chance with Lily as long as he was persistent, especially after spending all those years together.Nathaniel wore a more formal suit. It was not pure white like the one from yesterday, but off-white, which added a bit of a gentleman's demeanor. He looked elegant and handsome; if he dressed up more, he would seem very attractive.Nathaniel arrived very early, and the seats there focused on customers' privacy. In addition, he did not know whether it was too ea
“Do you honestly mean that?” Lily laughed, “I don’t think so.”Nathaniel replied desperately, “Then what else do you want me to do? Just name it. I’ll do whatever you want!”“Really?” Lily smirked wickedly. She looked like a siren that could lure any man to her. Nathaniel was captivated by her beauty, but then he noticed she had lifted her slender finger and pointed toward the window. Her lips uttered, “Jump out the window!”“What?!” Nathaniel thought he had misheard.“Didn’t you say that you meant it? I’m giving you a chance. If you jump, I’ll forgive you immediately,” Lily looked at Nathaniel and sneered. She was smiling, but her eyes were cold. They look like icy pools, staring into Nathaniel’s soul and freezing him.“I-I…” Nathaniel peaked outside the window. They were on the sixty-sixth floor, and the view was breathtaking, but when he looked down, he felt dizzy.‘How can I jump from this height?! I’ll die!’“Lily, stop joking. I sincerely apologize for my past mistakes, bu
“You want to start over?” Lily looked at Nathaniel like he was a joke.Nathaniel thought Lily was still interested in getting back together, so he continued to put up his act, “I know I made many mistakes in the past. I never appreciated you, and it was all my fault. I promise to make it up to you if you give me a chance!”The more Lily listened to what he had to say, the more ridiculous it became. Lily changed her seating position to get a better look at Nathaniel, saying, “Let me hear it then. How are you planning to make it up to me? What could you possibly give me that I don’t already have?”Nathaniel had no idea that Lily was messing with him. He thought she would feel tempted to take him back, so he continued persuading her, “If you’re willing to come back to me and MN Inc., I’ll listen to everything you say. I’ll use all my connections and everything I can to make you the best perfumer in the country and abroad!”“Didn’t you say I wasn’t good enough and shouldn’t embarrass m
