Alexander still had a grim look, obviously heartbroken.
Lily continued to appease him, "Of course, my success is all thanks to you. Your credit is the greatest. You're the unsung hero behind all of us! It’s my greatest honor to have your support and help. I'm so proud of you!"
Alexander was quiet, and Olivia said nothing either. Edward let out a few coughs.
Olivia wanted to applaud Lily for her incredible flattery skill if they were not in the same car as Alexander.
Honestly, it was the first time she saw Lily like this. It wasn't like this when Lily was with Nathaniel. They communicated little; even if they did, it all revolved around work. Occasionally Nathaniel would say something nice. However, their interaction had never been so natural and pleasant.
Olivia took a peek and saw that Alexander’s grim face had changed entirely. Olivia suspected that he even blushed a little.
'Huh, I never expected him to be shy.'
"Where did you learn how to bootlick?" He raised his hand and pinched her face, his voice softer, "Even if the new product passes the test, it’ll take some time before it's officially launched. Since you want to rest
and celebrate, why not travel somewhere? This way, you'll get to unwind.”
"Travel? Where?" Lily had not thought of this.
After all, she used to develop new products continuously. When she succeeded, she would rest for two days, then continue with the next idea, sampling raw materials, testing the formula... It was like a routine.
