Melanie playfully shook her waist, “Why won‘t you trust me?”
“If you don‘t want that, go if you want to. I‘m done arguing.” Nathaniel did not want to see Melanie act
coquettishly and argue any longer, as that was his bottom line.
However, he also wanted to go to Middle Valley because he heard there would be quite a few industry
professionals attending. In addition to participating, Nathaniel wanted to win over some talents and hire
them to work for MN Inc.
Lily‘s actions gave MN Inc. a lot of trouble, and Nathaniel was aware of the importance of talents. He
knew he had to recruit more talented perfumers so that the company could defend itself against
challengers. It was a terrible experience, after all.
Nonetheless, there was an issue with the essential oils, and Nathaniel had to be present at the
company to test them repeatedly. He knew the formula must not have any mistakes and had to monitor
it himself, so he could not be absent.
Still, it would be beneficial for Melanie to go and gain some experience as it could help her in the future.
Even though she was not as qualified as Lily, Melanie was loyal to herself. Along with the baby,
Melanie felt even more relieved.
Nathaniel thought of his future child and looked down at Melanie‘s lower abdomen. Although it was still
flat, it had already conceived a tiny human being, and he could not help but feel overjoyed.
Meanwhile, Melanie was not as delighted as Nathaniel. She wanted to go and have fun, so she felt
there was no point in having someone follow her the whole time. She even wondered what Mr. Moreau
would think if someone followed them around. Even so, it did not seem to make sense at the moment.
They would take one step at a time.
Alexander did not send Lily off on the day of her departure. Since she was afraid of others seeing her,
she insisted on taking a cab with her suitcase, even refusing to let her driver send her on her way.
Before leaving, probably to appease the resentful Alexander, Lily hugged him. Then she consciously
said something humorous, “Absence makes the heart grow fonder. I will be back soon, so don‘t miss
me too much!”
“Likewise,” Alexander hugged Lily and pinched her waist in revenge. “Hey!” Lily exclaimed. “This man
is too much! She got into the cab to rush to the airport as Alexander stood there and watched the car
leave. Edward, silent as a stone statue, took two steps forward. “Mr. Russell, are you sure you don‘t
want to tell Mrs. Russell you‘re going too?”
Alexander tilted his head, looked at Edward, and asked lazily, “Now, that won‘t be as fun, would it?”
Edward replied, “W–Well...”
Fun? Edward knew nothing about how playful his boss could be.
“Have you upgraded the seats?” Alexander asked while turning around to walk back “Yes, and Ms.
Gray‘s seat as well I followed your instructions and told then that this itinerzy was essential to the
company. I also said it was part of a special arrangement”
For Edward to appropriately arrange this, he told George to settle it.
“Okay,” with a light snort, Alexander walked back into the house He thought it seemned empty and
deserted without Lily.
