“No, but it‘s annoying. Still, you don‘t need to come and help me chase the dog.” “Are you sure you
want me to help? Then I‘ll head over.” Alexander was more than happy to come and even more eager
to announce their relationship to the world. “No! No thanks! I refuse!” Lily repeated three times, and he
laughed out loud.
“I‘ll be there for you anytime!” Alexander replied. of course, it was impossible to ask him to help, and
Nathaniel would not dare to do anything in such a public setting. However, hearing those words from
Alexander made Lily feel at ease, and she smiled sweetly.
Seeing her smile, Nathaniel was a little dizzy for a while. Given their long history together, he was used
to having Lily by his side. He had grown accustomed to her busy schedule in the lab while dressed in
work clothes daily, the peculiar aromas that permeated her body, and her unwavering expression and
tone. However, these were the same reasons that made him feel very tired.
How could there be a woman as dull as her? She was neither charming nor sexy, neither romantic nor
gentle. He had no interest in her at all. He would not spend so much time with her if it were not for her
readiness to help him unconditionally or even her exceptional perfume–making skills.
However, her smile just now surprised him.
Such a sweet and playful smile. Was that really Lily? who was she joking and having a good time with?
Lily was sitting right in front of Nathaniel, but she did not realize he was there. Why was she beaming
so brightly while staring at her phone screen?
It shocked Nathaniel that she would completely disregard him. When he gave it some thought, he
realized there was only one plausible explanation, she had done it on purpose. When Lily saw
Nathaniel just now, her eyes were a little panicked. This would not be the case if she simply ignored
him. Lily must be upset, so she acted this way. She was playing hard to get to win his attention. After
clearing his throat, he tapped one hand on the table. The sound made Lily look up at him, and
Nathaniel was satisfied.
‘Look! Stop pretending!‘ Nathaniel cared, but he also pretended not to çare. “Lily, I‘m talking to you.
Can‘t you hear me?” he said. Glancing at him sideways, Lily said, “We‘re not that close.” “...” Nathaniel
frowned as he was ridiculed. “Lily, why are you doing this? Even if we’re not lovers, we can still be
friends! Look, you got your revenge, and your grudge is over. Melanie and I did something wrong, but
you‘re still trying to get revenge. We‘ve already withdrawn the case, so just let go. Let‘s forget the past
and move on, okay?” Lily was utterly amazed as she stared at him with wide eyes, as though she were
looking at some rare animal.
‘What bizarre logic! Where did he get the nerve to suggest I just forget what happened? What
right does he have to say so? Who does he think he is?‘
“I‘m sorry, I don‘t quite understand what you mean. Come back for revenge? Avenge what? What was
my revenge? You make me sound like a superhero, but I‘m sorry I did nothing!” Nathaniel leaned back
with one hand on the back of her chair, turned to gaze at her, and said, ” Lily, there‘s no point in staying
like this. I‘m sincerely making peace with you, yet you keep twisting and turning. Do you dare claim that
you never touched the company’s formula while you were there? Didn‘t you deliberately give a fake
formula for the essential oil?” His words were confident as if he had evidence to prove her guilty.
