Chapter 229

Lily slept deeply. It was not because she hadatiring day in the lab but because..

She was experimenting in wcific field when she discovered that men and women naturally had different
endurance in certain areas. For example, Alexander had woken up early to go to the company for a
meeting

Lily was not even sure what time he had left. Vaguely, she renembered that just before he left, lichad
placed a kiss on her forehead, she could not remember initch before that.

She fished around with her fingers and found her vibrating cellphone. She held it up to her car. “Hello?”

“Lily, it’s me.” It was Olivia’s voice, and she sounded energetic. **Huh, it’s still so carly. Don’t you want
more rest?” Lily said, half-awaked. She tossed around but did not feel like moving at all.

“Early?” Olivia looked at the time. It’s about to be six o’clock. How is that early?” “Six o’clock? Six
o’clock isn’t early?” Lily’s brain was still exhausted. She was about to hang up the phone. “Lily, it’s six
o’clock in the evening. Surely you don’t think it’s six o’clock in the morning?” “Six o’clock in the evening
isn’t early? H-Huh?!” Lily slowly returned to her senses. “What? Six o’clock in the evening?!

She could not believe it. She picked up her phone and looked at the time properly. True enough, it
would be six o’clock in the evening soon.

After being stunned for two seconds, she jumped out of bed and ran to the window barefooted. She
pulled open the curtain and peered out. It was like the setting sun was laughing at her for missing a day
of sunlight.

‘W-What? Did I sleep for a whole day?’



“Lily, did you sleep from last night until now?” Although it was pretty obvious, Olivia still asked this
question.

Lily grabbed her hair and sat down in the chair by the window. Although she knew what time it was, she
still felt tired. She looked at the red sky in the distance and exhaled. “Oh well, who cares what time it
is? Isn’t it a holiday today?”

“It’s not that. Yesterday, you agreed to go out with Jenny to celebrate. What time is it now?” Olivia
reminded carefully, implying that Lily should not forget about it.

Lily did not forget. She just did not think it was urgent. “We can go any day. I’ll call her and see when
she is free.”

The lab was taking a break, so Lily and Olivia could relax for a while, but Jenny could not. She had to
shoulder the responsibility of the entire department. Thus, they should follow her schedule,

“Sure. Then you set a time with Jen. I’m free all the time.” Olivia was looking forward to it. It was the
first happy occasion since she switched jobs; thus, it was worth celebrating

“I’m going to hang up now.” Lily was going to hang up when she heard Olivia say urgently,”

“What is it?” Lily lazily put the phone to her car again. “Y-Yesterday, the boss talked about going on trip
to celebrate…” Olivia felt shy bringing this up, but she was looking forward to it. “Did he tell you where
we’re going?”

“Um, no.”

Lily used her hand to support herself as slie stood up. She went to the washroom to clean up while
putting her phone to the side. Then she squeezed toothpaste on her toothbrush and started to brush
her teeth



With a mouth full of bubbles, she licard Olivia say in surprise, “Huh? Didn’t both of you talk about it last
night after going back? I thought…”
