Melanie was the most disappointed person at this turn of events.
She was waiting to watch Lily get into trouble, but Lisa came out of nowhere and disrupted everything.
‘How annoying!’ Melanie gritted her teeth with resentment and watched Lisa smiling in joy.
To her, Lisa was the one who ruined her plans and everything great that was about to come her way.
‘Wait! Why do I feel like I’ve seen her before? She looks familiar.Earlier, she said she met Lily in
Hyderland, but I’ve known Lily since we were at university.I’ve met most of her friends, and there
weren’t that many.Why does Lisa sound so familiar then?’ Melanie continued staring at Lisa’s face for a
moment, and a memory fragment flashed across her mind.
‘That's her?’ On the other side of the hall, Lisa was still talking to Lily after the crowd dispersed.
"Lilsy, I sent you my new phone number after I returned to Westwood.Why didn’t you contact me? I
thought you didn’t want to be my friend anymore."
"You sent it to me before? I didn’t receive it, though."
Lily was surprised to hear that.
Lily remembered Lisa, this old friend of hers.
Back then, Lisa was an exchange student at her university, but no one knew Lisa’s true identity—the
daughter of the internationally renowned perfumer Wesley Parker—at the time.
Everyone thought she was just another exchange student.
Lisa was not as jolly then.Her personality was similar to Lily's, as she did not have many friends either.
Lily had forgotten how they became friends, but she made a scented sachet for Lisa before Lisa
returned to Westwood.
Their classmates also loved to play around with fragrances, and most of them made perfumes or
essential oils.
To Lisa, receiving a scented sachet with various dried flowers with different fragrances was rare.
Lily also made adjustments according to Lisa’s thoughts and gave it to her as a gift.
However, she did not expect Lisa to love the sachet that much and always kept it by her side.
"Huh? Didn’t you receive it? I sent it three times because I was afraid that would happen."
Lisa pouted in disappointment at first, but she soon returned to her jolly state.
"It’s okay, though.Look! Even if you didn’t receive it, we managed to get in touch with each other again!
It has to be fate, right?"
"You're right.That’s the exact word."
Lily laughed.It was a happy thing to be able to meet an old friend in a foreign country.
"Oh, right, are you here to attend the perfumery competition too?"
Lisa asked as she took small bites of the piece of cake in her hand.Lily raised her brows and chuckled.
"Didn’t you say I was here to visit you?"
That made Lisa chuckle too.
Waving her hand, Lisa explained.
"I said that deliberately.I had to say that to ease the tension in the air.Otherwise a fight would’ve broken
out between you and my dad, right?"
Lily was speechless.
‘It seems she knows everything, but she’s just pretending to know nothing to ease the tension.Such a
brilliant girl!’
Although it had been a few years since they last met, they still managed to click right away.
Laughing, Lily nodded.
"If I were to fight with your dad, what would you do?"
"That won’t happen,"
Lisa took another bite of the cake, shaking her head as she said indifferently, "There are alot of guards
here, and my dad has many bodyguards protecting him too.You'll be pressed to the ground before you
can even touch him."
Lily did not know what to say to that.
