Chapter 28

Lily almost stretched her finger to touch Alexander's tanned skin and well-built muscles. She gulped
subconsciously. “Lily? Lily?!” Nathaniel suspected Lily had hung up the phone whenhe did not get a
response, so he kept calling her name.

Lily widened her eyes as she watched Alexander's tall figure lean toward her.

His handsome face was getting closer and closer.

She held her breath, and then…

When their lips got close, Alexander turned sideways and gently kissed Lily on her cheek near her ear.

Then he straightened his back and went straight into the walk-in closet.

Thud! The phone slipped from Lily's hand and rolled on the carpet.

Fortunately, the phone fell onto the carpet.

Otherwise, it would have shattered.

Nathaniel was still on the other end of the call waiting for Lily’s response, when the loud thud hurt his
eardrums.

He hurriedly moved his ear away from the phone and exclaimed, “Lily! What the hell are you
doing?!Are you even listening to me?" Lily squatted to pick up her phone and calmly wiped it.

“Mr.Hall, what's the matter? You can tell me," she said after confirming she did not damage her phone.



"Why, you...!" Nathaniel suppressed his anger and told himself to tolerate her until they settled
theirmatters during the press conference.

"The press conference I mentioned earlier is scheduled for tonight.

Come to MN Inc.

later, and we’ll attend the conference together.

We’ll rehearse on the road.

We should try to suppress the incident as soon as possible and minimize the negative impacts on the
company.” Lily sneered, "What about the negative impact on me?" Nathaniel was silent for a while.

Then he softened his voice and said slowly, "Lily, I'm sure you’re aware of how much this incident has
affected MN Inc.

The company is our life's work, and you have sacrificed much for it too.

I don't think you would want anything to happen to it, do you? Listen, I knowI might make you feel
aggrieved this time, but the company will become more popular and influential once we resolve this
matter.

We'll get married after that, okay?" He promised to marry her again, using his eloquence to coax her
repeatedly, but Lily no longer gave a d*mn.

"All right, then." Lily paused and pretended Nathaniel had persuaded her.

“You’re right.I’ve put much effort into MN Inc.and don't want anything bad to happen to it." 'If I could put
that much effort into a company, I can alsowithdraw from it.If I built it, I could destroy it as I please,’ Lily
thought.



Nathaniel was relieved when he heard Lily's words, "Then hurry to the company.

I'll be waiting for you!" When Lily hung up the phone, she stood up and realized her husband had
already put on his robe, as if he was going to bed.

"I'll be out later since the press conference is tonight,” Lily said bluntly.

She knew it was better to be honest and tell her husband about it because he would eventually find out
anyway.

"What's the hurry? It's still early, so let's rest for a while,” Alexander slowly approached Lily as he
continued, “I’ve adjustedthe water temperature and prepared the stuff you need.
