Melanie playfully shook her waist, "Why won't you trust me?"
"If you don't want that, go if you want to. I’m done arguing." Nathaniel did not want to see Melanie act coquettishly and argue any longer, as that was his bottom line.
However, he also wanted to go to Middle Valley because he heard there would be quite a few industry professionals attending. In addition to participating, Nathaniel wanted to win over some talents and hire them to work for MN Inc.
Lily's actions gave MN Inc. a lot of trouble, and Nathaniel was aware of the importance of talents. He knew he had to recruit more talented perfumers so that the company could defend itself against challengers. It was a terrible experience, after all.
Nonetheless, there was an issue with the essential oils, and Nathaniel had to be present at the company to test them repeatedly. He knew the formula must not have any mistakes and had to monitor it himself, so he could not be absent.
Still, it would be beneficial for Melanie to go and gain some experience as it could help her in the future.
Even though she was not as qualified as Lily, Melanie was loyal to herself. Along with the baby, Melanie felt even more relieved.
Nathaniel thought of his future child and looked down at Melanie's lower abdomen. Although it was still flat, it had already conceived a tiny human being, and he could not help but feel overjoyed.
Meanwhile, Melanie was not as delighted as Nathaniel. She wanted to go and have fun, so she felt there was no point in having someone follow her the whole time. She even wondered what Mr. Moreau would think if someone followed them around. Even so, it did not seem to make sense at the moment. They would take one step at a time.
Alexander did not send Lily off on the day of her departure. Since she was afraid of others seeing her, she insisted on taking a cab with her suitcase, even refusing to let her driver send her on her way.
Before leaving, probably to appease the resentful Alexander, Lily hugged him. Then she consciously said something humorous, "Absence makes the heart grow fonder. I will be back soon, so don't miss me too much!"
