The young man was silent for a moment before he said in determination, “Yes! Is there a problem?
“Nope! Since that‘s the case, I want you to use this type of wood for my order. As for what to carve, I
need to think about it. Once I‘ve decided, I‘ll tell your boss about it,” she said, waving the scrap wood
between her fingers and turning to leave. “Wait!” the young man called out anxiously behind her.
Lily stood in her spot before slie turned to face him again. “I‘m not sure of the size you‘d like. There
might not be enough wood for that.” He was frowning, looking troubled.
“That shouldn‘t be a problem. You can let your boss know, and then he can purchase more wood.” Lily
smiled and said casually, “You don‘t need to worry about that. That‘s your boss‘ job.”
“Well...” He pursed his lips. “The factory won‘t have enough wood as well. Anyway, you just can‘t use
this type of wood.”
He was hiding something from Lily. She did not force him to tell her but just smiled and looked at him.
“Honesty is the best policy, little boy.” “Little boy? You‘re not even older than me by that much!” He
seemed unhappy being addressed in such a way and pursed his lips. “No matter what, you can‘t use
this type of wood.” “I‘ll talk about this with your boss.” Lily found his weak spot, and it was easy for her
to rile him up in a short time.
“Why must you use this type of wood? I can use other kinds for you, and I can promise that it will
produce the same, no, even better results!” His cheeks were puffing up from anger, making him look
like a hamster. It was adorable.
Lily smiled. “Since they‘re the same, why can‘t I use this type of wood? What‘s special about it?”
The young man said nothing, so Lily continued to probe. “Or rather, is there any difference between this
and other types of wood? For instance, its scent?” She walked closer toward him. Although she was
smiling the entire time, the young man felt a threatening aura approaching him. Lily had a gentle look
and was not the kind that would make others feel fear. However, she exuded an aura that made the
young man want to run away from her as far as possible. Frowning, he asked, “Who are you?” “Me?
I‘m just a customer who visited your shop, Lily answered while looking at the scrap of wood in her
hand.
Indeed, it looked similar to other types of wood, but there was a speck of unusual stain on its sides.
The stain looked like a dried liquid that flowed wlien the wood was cut openi.
It was that area that exuded an intoxicating fragrance. This fragrance was different from anything Lily
bad smelled before and from all the mixed products. After all, this was a natural smell mixed with the
scent of the wood.
Lily believed she had not seen such a thing before, so it made her wonder if the wood was grafted, like
the type she ordered back in Middle Valley. After all, there were rules in the industry. As they were a
shop specializing in wood crafting, they would not let others know where they purchased their wood
from so quickly. In Lily‘s case, she just wanted to find out why the wood had such a scent, but wliy
would they trust her? Moreover, even if they did trust lier, they had no obligation to help her either. Lily
could not ask them directly, so she made a private order and requested this type of wood to be used
instead. As expected, such wood was indeed unique. That was why the young man chased after her so
anxiously.
