Chapter 142

When Lily was done showering, she noticed Jenny had fallen asleep. She appeared to be exhausted
as she was snoring softly. Lily tiptoed over to cover Jenny with a blanket, then silently left the bedroom
after turning off the light. She was staying in a small business suite with an adjoining living area
equipped with a sofa, table, and chairs. She cleared the trash from supper to a corner of the table.

Right now, she was still wide awake. The sampling session today was quite fruitful. Although there
were few differences between the new products, they were consistent with the overall theme.

Frank‘s perfume caught her interest. She had tried the sample provided by the organizer. Although the
fragrance was like chrysanthemum, professional perfumers could tell at a glance that it was not the
case. It was likely that Frank cleverly used a refined spice that smelled similar to chrysanthemum, but
not to test those who took part in the sampling. He likely thought that no one could see through his
tricks as none of the perfumers who participated had reached his level. From this, it could be deduced
that he was quite an arrogant person. The fact that he agreed to Melanie‘s word and made her the
center of attention was quite intriguing

Lily picked up her vibrating phone and looked at it. Alexander sent her a brief message. “The wolves
will eventually eat the naughty shepherd.” It took a while for Lily to understand his message, and he
seemed to refer to the story, ‘The Boy Who Cried Wolf.‘ Lily promised to meet him when she was free,
but she never showed up. Thus, she became the lying shepherd.

Alexander said the wolves would eat her! It‘s a wonder how his brain works. With all his attempts at
acting spoiled and coming up with such a riddle, Lily was left dumbfounded. However, his action was
indeed adorable!

Lily looked at the time, and it was already late at night. However, it was never too late for a date!



She sneaked a peek at the bedroom and noticed that Jenny was still sound asleep. Lily smiled when
she saw Jenny turn over and mutter something in her sleep. She then left the room quietly after taking
the trash on the table to throw away.

Lily took the elevator upstairs as Alexander was staying on the upper floor. She found room number
1808 under the dim light in the corridor.

Just as she was about to knock on the door, the door opened from the inside. She was dragged in and
pressed against the wall. Alexander closed the door with one hand and pressed her against the wall
with the other as he leaned in for a passionate kiss.

“When have I not kept my promise? Look, I’m here now. Aren’t you a little too spoiled? Instead of
calling me the girl who cried wolf, shouldn‘t you call me Pinocchio‘s nose?” Lily said while panting for
breath.

“Alright, I‘ll say that next time.” Alexander laughed at her words and smiled dotingly. ” ” Lily was
helpless against him and punched him lightly. Alexander caught her fist and kissed her repeatedly, “I
missed you.”

Lily‘s heart melted hearing his words. She lowered her head and said, “I missed you too, very much
so!”

They both got closer and closer to each other until their lips touched. This time, the kiss was tender, as
if the person being kissed were the world‘s most priceless treasure.
