His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 106

Lily never told Alexander that she preferred a quiet environment instead of the commotion of large groups of people. Lily had assumed that someone like Alexander would be surrounded by servants who busied around the house.

She had no idea that he was nothing like that. There was no one in the house apart from the regular cleaner. The place was quiet, and he even did the cooking. Even though it felt a little deserted, she liked the feeling of not being disturbed.

There was a pot of fruit tea brewing and a few delicate cookies lying on a small saucer beside it. Alexander was adamant about not letting her into the kitchen, so she had no choice but to abandon the idea and only sat obediently.

There were seven or eight little perfume bottles on the coffee table in front of her, all of which were newly launched. She sat silently for a moment after preparing a glass of water, some paper towels, and mint leaves. The recent troubles with Nathaniel, among others, made it hard for her to calm down. She could not find the inspiration or desire to create new products.

Things could not continue that way anymore. If Lily continued exhausting herself, she would become hallowed over time, and her creative ability would

soon run dry without new sources of inspiration.

The work trip opportunity from Jenny was a great idea. Lily could go outside, get some fresh air, and maybe get some new inspiration.

Lily opened her eyes. The little bottles in front of her looked pretty cute. She picked up a pink bottle and brought it closer to her.

However, she could smell the overflowing scent even before removing the bottle cap. It was too much, almost to the point of being pungent. Lily lost all desire to uncap it and instead placed it back.

These were lesser-known brands of perfume rather than famous ones. One did not have to look at other brand-name perfumes to get ideas. Often, it was the small brands that brought unexpected inspiration.

Although she had withdrawn her hand, the scent lingered on her fingers. She washed and dried her hands before she sat down again and picked up another bottle. In her hand was a small notebook to record her analysis, thoughts, and ideas.

Lily felt a sense of fulfillment as she busied herself.
