"It's fine, Liv. Listen to me. You've been busy because of work for far too long. You shouldtake a break since you'll get busy again in a few days.

By then, you won't be able to rest even if you wanted to,” Lily said half-jokingly.

Since Lily insisted, Olivia stopped persuading her. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

“Okay then.Oh right, you know I have two phones.I turned off the one for work.If you need me, call my personal phone number.”

“Yeah.Have fun!” After hanging up, Lily noticed Alexander gave her a deep look.

She looked down at her appearance, but nothing seemed to be out of place.

"What's wrong?" + “Are you asking her to leave because you don’t want her to get involved?” Alexander hit thenail on the head, stunning Lily before she let out a smile. “Not entirely.

Liv was my assistant while I worked in MN Inc., so she’s familiar with all my products and research outcomes.

This time, Nathaniel is determined to make me take the blame for everything, so Liv would be the first person he woulwanted to bring up the past.

If so, she will have no choice but to tell them everything, regardless of whether or notshe wants to, because she is still MN Inc.'s employee.

It would be better for her not to be around." While talking, Lily did not neglect her food.

Some things were indeed expensive for a reason.

Her meal possessed an exquisite and delicious appearance with a first-class taste.

It had been a long since she had time to sit down and enjoy her meal.her.

Hence, she paid no attention to her image or that Alexander was sitting right before

She simply ate as she usually would when she was alone.

With a faint smile on his lips, Alexander just stared at Lily as she ate.

It was as if he could be full by just watching her eat.was a little apprehensive about Lily's plans.

“You seem pretty confident.” Initially, Alexander

Still, after listening to what she said, he realized she was not acting impulsively.

Lily stopped digging her spoon into

"There's one more thing I hope you can agree to." "What is it?” Alexander seemed to be full already.

He placed his utensils down, gently wiping the corners of his lips with a napkin ashe waited for Lily to continue. "I-I want to bring Liv with me to Rebirth." After a short pause, Lily continued, "I'm doing it for myself, but Liv is also a competent person.

Plus, I’m used to working with her.

I can promise you we will bring great results to the company.

If not, I will..." Lily even raised a hand as if she was making an oath.

“What will you do?” Alexander asked, interrupting her words.

“Give us half a year.

Within that time, I can create a hot-selling perfume that will benefit the company significantly.” Lily promised.

Alexander chuckled.

“I remember you only took three months to develop the formula for First Love, so why do you need half a year at my company?”.down slowly, hesitating for a moment before she said, "Actually...” "Yeah?" "First Love is flawed.” "Oh?” "I'm sure you know a great perfume takes time to create, from its inspiration and planning process to repeated experiments and try-outs.

Lily put her hand

We had to rush everything to create a perfume in three months.

However, we had no choice back then.” Lily shrugged and continued, “Nathaniel wanted us to rush our work because he needed a new productto participate in the competition, so...” The creation of First Love was a rushed process. "That was why its base note changed completely with just a slight modification to its ingredients," Lily said in a playful tone.

Her thumb and index finger were placed closely together to indicate how little of the new ingredient she used.Lily's liveliness and each of her expressions into his mind.

Alexander engraved

His eyes darkened, and he suddenly moved closer to her.

Before she could react, he had wiped the corners of her lips with a napkin.

"There was a tiny bit of oil stain on your lips.” Alexander looked indifferent, as if his actions were a regular thing.

However, his words made Lily blush instantly. Alexander was so serious and focused while gently wiping the corners of her lips.
