Lily sat up and looked at Nathaniel with an amused expression. She questioned him patiently, "Mr. Hall, if I remember correctly, you've been telling people that Ms. Thayer created your company's perfumes. Then, how could I have done something to your formula?
"Besides, since Ms. Thayer created the perfume, she could just make alterations. How could I possibly be able to do anything to your formula? How was this my revenge?"
Nathaniel had expected her to react this way, so he lowered his voice, "Lily, there isn't anyone around, so could you drop the act? We all know what's the deal with the formula. I admit I've used you, and I'm sorry. Still, you've almost destroyed my company. Now that you've left for Rebirth and doing well there, I won't ask much of you. I hope we can forgive and forget. How about that?"
This was already his most significant concession. He would not press charges on what Lily had done, and she should not continue to hold grudges against him for his past mistakes. In his opinion, this was the best outcome for both of them.
Lily was silent and looked at Nathaniel as if she had never known him. How could he be so shameless and entitled? He was not at all sorry for everything that he had done. Not only that, he even dared to act like the
victim. Nathaniel was such a shameless man!
"Now you're admitting I created all of MN Inc.'s previous perfumes and essential oils?" She asked mockingly without responding to his previous request.
"I-I..."
When Nathaniel was about to refute, someone came up from behind and called out to Lily, "Lily, I'm back!"
He stopped talking as a woman approached to stand next to Lily. She placed a hand on Lily's shoulder and announced, "Gotcha! Now, you have to introduce your boyfriend to..."
Her smile froze as she turned cheerfully toward Nathaniel, "It's you!"
