Perhaps Olivia’s taste was a little not so mainstream.“Whatever. You’re hungry, so come have some food.”The takeout in the bag was still hot. Incidentally, Lily was feeling hungry. She decided to take the food to the table outside to eat together.She no longer focused on this question. However, Olivia was still fixated on the “Is there something wrong with your taste?” remark. Even after they sat down and picked up their cutleries, she could not help raising her head and asking, “Which part of my description is inaccurate?”Lily was speechless.“Fine, then tell me, in what way was he awkward in the way he does things?”Thinking about it, Lily decided that things like appearance were in the eyes of the beholder. However, the way Alexander did work was far from awkward.“I asked him who he was and why he was here, and he took ages to answer me simply that he was from the company. Think about it. We’re talking about me. Not long after I arrived, I met everybody here. With one lo

"It's not him." Shaking her head, Lily continued to eat with a sigh.What the hell? It was all a misunderstanding. Recalling that she had just compared Olivia’s description of Edward to Alexander, Lily felt silly.Although the shot was blurry, Lily could tell that Alexander was in the car with Edward because he replied quickly, and the photo looked like it had just been taken.Before Lily could figure out where he was, she received another text from Alexander, "Do you want more?" Lily knew he meant Edward's photos, so she quickly replied, "No need, that’s enough."Why would she need so many photos of Edward? She just wanted to show Olivia to clear up their confusion. Then more texts came."Are you sure you don't need it?""Don’t you want mine?""Pfft… Cough..." Seeing the last text, Lily spat out a mouthful of water, choking and coughing.Although it's just a line of text from the cold phone screen, she could feel Alexander’s unhappiness. Was he complaining that she didn't as

If Olivia, who had been by her side for years, reacted that way, Lily could not imagine how shocking this news would be to others.This proved that the relationship between her and Alexander could not be made public just yet."No!" Putting her hands on Olivia’s shoulders, Lily said patiently, "Listen to me. You know very well what his status is like. If I made our relationship public, can you imagine the effects on my current situation? It's hard even for you to accept it, let alone other people. I wouldn’t be able to deal with that kind of publicity and gossip. There’d be no time and energy left for me to do what I want.""It's not that I can’t accept it. I just didn’t expect…" Olivia quickly explained. How could she not accept it? She would be the first to be happy for Lily if it were true! "I understand, I understand! Still, not everyone thinks like you," Lily interrupted her, "With his status if this were made public, it’d be hard for the both of us. Before that, I want to wor

‘He’s Mr. Russell’s driver! Of course, Edward was the one who sent the things for his boss.’ It was no wonder Olivia mistook Edward for Lily’s boyfriend.“Thanks for sending me things just now, Edward,” Lily said after entering the car. She had not seen Edward just now but knew she had to thank him for sending things so late at night.“You’re welcome, Madam,” Edward responded to Lily as he glanced at Olivia. Then he turned around and put his hands on the steering wheel."By the way, this is Olivia. She’s my assistant and best friend," Lily thought she should formally introduce the two, "Liv, this is Alex's assistant, Edward."Olivia nodded. She noticed Edward was facing forward without looking back, so she leaned over and patted his shoulder, saying, “I’m sorry!”Edward was taken aback and turned to look at her, "What?""I didn’t know who you were. I thought you were a mole who sneaked into the lab, so I was rude to you. I'm sorry!" Olivia had a carefree personality, and she was

Alexander still had a grim look, obviously heartbroken.Lily continued to appease him, "Of course, my success is all thanks to you. Your credit is the greatest. You’re the unsung hero behind all of us! It’s my greatest honor to have your support and help. I’m so proud of you!"Alexander was quiet, and Olivia said nothing either. Edward let out a few coughs. Olivia wanted to applaud Lily for her incredible flattery skill if they were not in the same car as Alexander.Honestly, it was the first time she saw Lily like this. It wasn't like this when Lily was with Nathaniel. They communicated little; even if they did, it all revolved around work. Occasionally Nathaniel would say something nice. However, their interaction had never been so natural and pleasant. Olivia took a peek and saw that Alexander’s grim face had changed entirely. Olivia suspected that he even blushed a little. ‘Huh, I never expected him to be shy.’"Where did you learn how to bootlick?" He raised his hand and
