Chapter 369

"You were in there for quite a while," Alexander said.

Lily had lingered for quite some time before coming out.It was so long that all the other contestants had
left.

She nodded.

"Mr.Will wanted to chat, so I took a little longer."

"What did he say?"

After some pondering, Lily remembered Wesley’s words and became emotional.He invited me to join
his team."

Alexander nodded again and again, "That's high praise, don’t you agree?"

"I rejected the invitation."

Lily shook her head as she looked out the car window.

The street lights outside flickered.

The night scenery in Westwood was breathtaking.It was notorious for its romantic appeal.It was indeed
the cradle of the perfume industry and many big brands.

Many classical styles came from there.

Such an opportunity had been laid in front of her, but she had refused it.

"You rejected his offer? Why?"



Alexander paused and said half- jokingly, Were you scared you would miss me too much?"

Lily glared at Alexander.

‘How narcissistic!’ "I want to make my own unique brand.I want to leave behind brands that sit in the
Top Perfumer Hall of Honor."

Her eyes shone so brightly that it was brighter than the stars.

Alexander looked at her face and felt that his wife was beautiful to the core.

It was her confidence and determination that had first attracted him.She was a person of faith, and
though she had once hit rock bottom, it could not conceal her sunny nature.

"I believe in you.You can do it," Alexander said softly, giving Lily the greatest affirmation he could
muster.

As she leaned into his arms, Lily felt very satisfied.It was a blessing to have a solid and warm embrace
and someone who supported and affirmed her.

"Right!"

Lily suddenly remembered something and bolted upright, looking straight at Alexander.

"Something weird happened, though.Melanie was a no-show today."

"What's so weird about it? Maybe she realized she couldn't win, so she voluntarily withdrew from the
competition.Maybe she didn't want to participate since many didn’t make it."

Alexander shrugged, looking not the least bit surprised.

Lily shook her head.



"No, no! That's not how she operates! She did her best to come here and to get to the end.She can't
give up at the last corner! Maybe something happened to her? Maybe she got kidnapped too?"

However, the chances of that happening were probably a little too low, right? Lily looked at her husband
suspiciously, "Did you..."

The two had chatted before.

Lily suspected that the main perpetrator behind the scenes was Melanie, but there was no concrete
evidence to prove it.

She wondered what Alexander did to Melanie, considering what she told Alexander about Melanie and
Alexander’s temper and personality.

Alexander feigned innocence as he raised his hands.

"I didn't do anything illegal.Besides, she’s not worth it."

Lily looked into Alexander’s eyes, and he did not seem like he was lying.

What he said also made sense.

Melanie was worthless in Alexander’s eyes, after all.He would not have done anything.

Furrowing her eyebrows, Lily thought, ‘It’s so strange"

After the competition ended, Lily and Giselle went their separate ways.

Alexander sent Giselle back to the company for an urgent task.It meant that Lily and Alexander could
spend some alone time together in Westwood.
