Things were not going according to Brittany’s plans. Alexander quickly finished his breakfast, which was not what Brittany thought would happen—the duo sat opposite each other, chatting away as they ate their breakfast. He ate only a sandwich and had one cup of coffee before returning to his desk and turning on his computer.Alexander had fixed his gaze on the monitor immediately after eating his breakfast. After taking a few bites of the food, which tasted bland because he was not focused, Brittany could no longer sit still and put away her breakfast before walking over to him. “Alex, can’t you see that I’m here?”Alexander looked up at her before his gaze averted back to his monitor. “What is it?”“Do you hate me?” Brittany asked again, pouting.“No.”“Then why are you ignoring me?”“I’m working.”“You’re lying! You just don’t want to talk to me. Are you so busy that you don’t even have time to eat breakfast with me?” Brittany was so angry that she reached for his monitor and

In fact, this perfumery competition was not considered the most significant event for perfumers. It was more of a competition to discover new talents, so the organizers only invited young blood, like solo participants or perfumery company representatives, to participate in the event.The junior perfumers who registered as solo participants received special treatment because they could be exempted from the competition's first round. Due to that, fewer participants would take part in said round.As a representative of Rebirth, Lily had no choice but to join the competition’s first round. The task was pretty simple. Each participant had five perfume bottles and had to identify the ingredients used by smelling them. On top of that, they would need to identify the perfumes’ base notes.It was a piece of cake for Lily. Back then, Jenny gave her a similar task to make things difficult for her. The only difference was that Jenny’s task was much more challenging than in the competition’s fir

Giselle was one to worry about many things, but she was right this time. However, Lily's rejection was not solely motivated by a desire to avoid gossip, as meeting Lisa at such a delicate time could lead to unwarranted assumptions. Even if Lily did not care about that, it would affect the reputation of Lisa and her father.Lily looked at the man and said, “How about this? I’ll call Lisa and talk things over the phone with her.”The man stayed silent, so Lily took out her phone and called Lisa. However, the call did not go through at all.“Ms. Parker is doing this because she has no other choice. Ms. Christian, we hope you understand,” the man explained.At first, Lily wanted to decline, but she was worried that something had happened to Lisa or that she had encountered some sort of difficulty since the call was not going through and the man had Lisa's ring with him. After hesitating for a moment, she finally decided. “Fine. I’ll come with you.”“Wait!” Giselle, seeing that she cou

Christopher made a phone call after he locked them up. “Yes, we got her. When will we receive our payment?”“Have you tied her up properly?” The person on the other end of the call asked worriedly.“Don’t worry. We’ve always met our customers’ various needs,” Christopher paused a moment before adding, “Even if she weren’t tied up, do you think she’ll be able to run away?”“It’s better to be on the side of caution.” Although he, too, felt that Lily could not escape from her kidnappers, the plan had to be foolproof, and mistakes were unacceptable.Christopher did not take his words to heart. “When are you coming over?”“I can only be there after two days. Give Lily water but less food for the next few days. Don’t let her eat much. Also, remember to give her the injections,” The person said.Christopher stayed silent for a while before he laughed awkwardly and said, “Shouldn’t you do this yourself?”“I have something urgent on my side and can’t leave. Just do as I say. I’ll pay you

“Do you have the right to ask questions now?” Lily sneered while Jo felt the knife's tip pushing deeper into his flesh.The pain of the blade penetrating through his skin and the fear that he might be dead the next minute made his attitude soften. “D-Don’t do this! L-Let’s talk it out!”“Sure. Let’s talk then. Who ordered you to do this?” Lily, with her head, tilted to one side, asked.When they were in the car earlier, Lily sensed something was off. Lisa would have called Lily beforehand if she genuinely had problems or difficulties on her end. However, Lily could not get through to Lisa’s phone number, and ultimately, Lisa’s phone got turned off. It meant that Lisa faced a severe problem, and she should have sought help from her father. It did not make sense that she looked for Lily.Hence, Lily felt they were here for her, not because Lisa sent them here because she was in trouble. In that case, Lily played along, wanting to find out what they were up to while she searched for t
