Alexander initially did not catch on to what Edward was talking about and realized later on that Olivia got jealous and threw a tantrum. Although Edward looked like a cat had scratched his face, he seemed to have enjoyed it.Alexander told him that he deserved it for having no self-respect, but at the same time, he could not help but think that Lily had never gotten jealous of him, not even once.When Edward touched his scratched face with a smug grin, he told Alexander, “She did this because she cares about me!”That made Alexander wonder if Lily did not care about him according to Edward’s logic.‘That’s impossible! We’ve been through much together, and if anyone claimed that Lily doesn’t care about me, I wouldn’t believe it. However, something seems amiss, doesn’t it?’Like now, a mosquito had left a bite on his neck, exactly where a woman might get suspicious, but Lily was sure the culprit was a mosquito.‘Lily has spent almost every day with Olivia, so why is her way of thin

“How come the mosquito bump grew so big?” She pressed it.“How do you know it’s a mosquito bump, not a...” He paused and let out a hiss despite himself. “Not what?” Removing her hand, Lily looked at him and asked.“Don’t you think it looks like something else? Or rather, doesn’t it make you suspect anything?”Lily thought he was acting weird. ‘He used to speak his mind. Why does he sound like he’s holding back?’“What exactly are you talking about?”Seeing her get impatient, Alexander decided to get straight to the point. “Don’t you think it looks like a... love bite?”“A what?” Blinking, Lily did not think much and said instinctively, “You think something else bit you?”Alexander was speechless. She saw his look and finally caught on to what he was saying. “Oh, you’re talking about a hickey!”“Yes, I suppose so…” He suddenly felt like an idiot.‘Why am I trying to make her suspect me when she wouldn’t do so in the first place? Would I feel better if she scratched my face

Thompson also spoke bluntly, “You’re not a professional, so you might not understand. The experiment may not sound complicated, but it requires excellent skills. Besides, even an ordinary product requires multiple experiences to succeed. Of course, an opportunistic businessman like you would not understand how hard it is.”The one who spoke to Thompson before this was Mike Corden. Mike was wearing his business suit as he lounged on the sofa with a cigar.After listening to Thompson, he narrowed his eyes, held up his cigar, and tapped off its ash. “If I remember correctly, Professor Thompson, you told us that La Beauté Group has withdrawn their funding.“Without opportunistic businessmen like me, you won’t be able to continue your experiment, no matter how great it is!”He was undiplomatic, knowing that without La Beauté Group, the project would not have the money to continue unless they could find a new funding source. Moreover, they did not want the experiment to stop.“You—” Fac

Mike looked up coldly, and his glasses glinted. “Professor Thompson, you’re a smart person. You don’t need me to teach you something as simple as that, do you? After a pause, he continued, “Or it’s so simple that you can’t even handle it?”“You—” After getting provoked many times, Thompson could not help but flare up.The man in the executive chair, however, interrupted. Deep and awful, his voice was strangely unnerving. “Stop quibbling! Professor, Mr. Corden is right in saying that you couldn’t even make a perfumer stay. Are you planning to wait until she tells everyone about what’s going on in the lab?”“No, but…”“No ifs or buts! I’ll let someone else take over if you can't do it.” A silence ensued while cold sweats covered Thompson’s back. Of course, he knew what the man meant.They could not afford to tell other people about their secret. Knowing much more than Lily about the project, Thompson knew his life would be in danger if someone else took his place. Besides, he was ob

Lily glanced and saw it was a call from Thompson. ‘What a coincidence!’ “Professor Thompson.” She answered the phone. His voice came from the other end. “Lily, are you busy with anything now?”“No. Is there anything I can do for you?” She lifted her eyelids and looked at Olivia, who was eating her apple. “Well, I have to ask you for a favor.” Letting out a sigh, he said, “Look. We’ve conducted the experiment for so long, and everyone approved it initially, not to mention you’ve invested so much energy in it. Don’t you think you’re being a bit too irresponsible by backing out now?” “Professor, I think it’s way more irresponsible to carry on with the experiment without knowing its purpose.” Lowering her gaze, Lily said casually, “I think I’ve made myself clear. If you’re trying to dissuade me from backing out, forget it.”‘Besides, I doubt you have the funding for the experiment as well.’“I…” After a pause, Thompson added, “Never mind. Are you free to have a meal with me?”
