Chapter 592
With a beep, the door opened. The man now knew that this lady, who appeared to be gentle, was not
easy to deal with. Politely, he said, “Ms. Christian, this way.”
When Lily entered, she made an “OK” sign with her thumb and index finger behind her back. She knew
that Alexander could see her.
Seeing that the door was closing again, Alexander shook his head, realizing that he had been smiling
the entire time. It was great that she was strong enough to protect herself, but even if she could not do
that, he would always protect her.
Lily was right that Noah would show up the next day. He came early, and the doorbell sounded while
she was still having breakfast. Not looking up, she continued to eat in an unhurried manner. When
Noah entered the door, he saw that she was holding a piece of toast in her hand. “You’re early and
even more diligent than I’ve expected,” Noah praised, clapping his hands. However, Lily looked at him
like he was an idiot. ‘Diligent? Having breakfast is considered as being diligent to him? What’s he even
talking about?”
When his compliment did not get him a response, he rubbed the tip of his nose and said, “I think your
memory shouldn’t be that bad. You should remember who I am by now, right?”
Lily put down the half piece of uneaten toast and brushed her hands before she looked up at him and
spoke, “I don’t care who you are. I just want to know what you’re up to.”
She would like to avoid wasting food if possible, but the instant food in the refrigerator here was
terrible. It had only been two days since she left home, and she was missing Alexander’s home–
cooked meals already.
Pursing her lips, she realized she had become picky with her food because his dishes were always
delicious.
Lily’s question was within Noah’s expectations. He chuckled and pulled out a chair to sit on the
opposite side of her. “Are you interested in joining the Perfumers‘ Society?”
“I thought you came here today to challenge me.”
“That’s on the agenda, but don’t you have a plan for your career path?” After a pause, Noah continued,
“I know you rejected Mr. Parker’s invitation back in Westwood and insisted on coming home. I also
heard your patriotic remarks, and I must admit that I admire you for that but… don’t you have any plans
other than loving the country? For example… joining the Perfumers‘ Society, becoming a member,
director, and even the vice president or president one day?”
“Then I’ll be at the peak of my career?” Lily went along with what he said but had no wishes for that at
all. Nothing he said made her feel excited.
“Yeah!” Noah nodded in affirmation, thinking that Lily was already attracted by his suggestion.
After returning from Westwood, he got someone to investigate Lily. There was not much information
about her, especially her life before she entered university. He knew she was part
of the Lodge family, or rather, a relative of theirs. That was why she did not take after the Lodge
surname
Lily‘s life after university was much more interesting She had a boyfriend she had been dating for a
couple of years, but they ended things about a year agoIt became a big deal and was even trending
several times on Twitter. After a few rounds of arguments, she job hopped to another company in the
same industry,
Out of all the information, the craziest thing was that she was engaged to Alexander Russell, the CEO
olacauté Group. It was a well–known fact, but they had not hosted an engagement party officially
There were many interesting facts about Lily, Noah would give her that.
On the other hand, her professionalism and ability as a perfumer caught his attention and surprised him
the most. He believed such a talent should be working for him.
“I can help you if you‘re interested.”
After tempting her, it was time to throw out the bait. He believed that she would make the right choice.
