Lily was deep in thought and did not notice when Alexander got home. He saw his wife lying on the
sofa when he opened the door. The orange–red sunlight slione onto Lily‘s two slender legs as she hield
the bag of chips in one land and a piece near her closed mouth.
The TV was on, but it was apparent that Lily was not watching because her two beautiful eyes looked
ahead without focus as her mind wandered. Alexander walked over and bent down as he opened his
mouth.
Lily had returned to her senses when her husband walked toward her. She noticed he had opened his
mouth to try and steal her chip, so she quickly stuffed it into her mouth. “Hala, you didn‘t get to steal it.
Yum!”
Lily was laughing gleefully, but unexpectedly, Alexander kissed her and bit the remaining half of the
chip she had not eaten yet. Alexander did not stop there and licked the remaining food bits on the
corner of her lips, “That tastes good!”
Lily was stunned and helpless at this smug president‘s flirtatious act. Alexander kissed her lips again
when he saw her cute appearance. He carried her up bridal style and let her sit on his legs, “What were
you thinking about just now? Did you think about me?” ‘Oh my gosh. Alex is so narcissistic!‘ “If I said
no, would you throw me on the ground?” Lily wrapped her hands around his neck tightly as though she
was afraid he would throw her to the ground in the next instant.
“Of course not.” Alexander smiled and kissed her forehead. “Instead, I need to figure out why my wife is
not thinking about me when I think about her all the time!”
Lily was speechless. ‘He‘s so skilled in sweet talk.‘
“I think about you, but I still have many other things I need to do. I had lunch with Liv today, and we
decided to go to the beach. We planned to go in these few days since the weather is getting colder.”
“Okay.” He nodded in agreement. “Jenny said she had submitted the entry for the annual competition.
The preliminary results should be out when we return. I can continue developing new products with
peace of mind by then.”
Alexander raised his eyebrows, surprised, “You already have new inspiration?” “Not really, it‘s just a
rough idea,” she said, “This is also a new attempt. I‘m unsure of the result, but I want to try it.”
Alexander nodded thoughtfully and said, “Just try as you like. You can take it as an experience even if
you fail.” “As expected of my husband. Great minds think alike,” Lily complimented him with a smile.
Alexander looked at her happily, “What did you just say? Repeat it.” “I said great minds think alike!”
“Not that sentence. The one before that!” Alexander shook his head. Lily felt her face starting to blusli.
