Chapter 216

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 lier hands on Olivia‘s shouklers, 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 work harder and achieve a little more. At least, I want to be
comparable to him.” After listening to her explanation, Olivia finally understood. She nodded slowly and
said,” Lily, I believe in you. You can do it!”

“Yeah.” Patting her on the shoulder, Lily turned to check the experiment‘s results.

A beep came from the computer, and the data results were printed. The entire laboratory was filled with
a faint fragrance. The scent was a welcome sign of success.

Bending down, Lily stared at the data from the computer. She read it carefully while Olivia walked over
and focused on checking on the samples. Both of them devoted themselves to their work.

After a while…



“Success! Success!” Olivia exclaimed excitedly, “Lily, it‘s a success!” “Yes! The data results meet the
requirements, and the scent is what I wanted exactly. We succeeded! We did it!” Lily was ecstatic.
Compared to Olivia‘s excitement, Lily felt euphoric. The feeling was indescribable to her.

This was the first new perfume she concocted by herself after leaving MN Inc., and it was a bold
attempt. She hoped this perfume would shine at this year‘s annual competition.

“Great! All those days of hard work finally paid off!” “Keep the samples and the experimental data in
order. Put them in the filing cabinet and lock them. We can call it a day!”

Looking at the time, it was not too late to go home, although it was already morning.

“Okay, I‘ll do it right now!” Olivia was quick at work.

She started packaging and preserving the samples, then cleaned up the lab immediately. She stored
the precious samples carefully, fearing that any slip–up would ruin everything.

Lily straightened up, turned off the power in the lab, and washed her hands. When she came out, Olivia
had already put everything away The two saw the joy that could not be hidden on each other‘s faces.
This was the sense of victory, lighting side by side. Walking side by side toward the clevator, Olivia tried
to book a ride from lier phone. “It‘s so late now, and I don‘t know if I can still get a cab, Let‘s take one
together. It‘ll be safer that way. What do you think?”
