After Benedict, the young lad from the woodcarving shop, refused Lily's order, she lost contact with him, and his phone number was changed. She wanted to know about the source of the wood, but the owner of the wood carving shop refused to say where he had gone. It was as if he had vanished.
Alexander said he would help her locate Benedict, but he had never even met the guy. She did not hold her breath because she knew it would not be easy.
There were more urgent things to do. Before Lily could focus on finding him, she had a perfume convention to attend in Westwood. She was representing Rebirth at a major event for the first time, and she had no one she knew and trusted by her side.
Jenny had work to do, and Olivia could not accompany her either. The company sent an assistant named Giselle Schmidt with her instead. It seemed that the assistant had a lot of experience and a good command of the Westwood language, which was why she was assigned the role.
The journey was peaceful. Nonetheless, because they didn’t know each other well, there was some distance between the two.
Lily found the flight exhausting and promptly passed out in her hotel room in Westwood. She had no idea Melanie and Frank would check into the same hotel two hours after her arrival.
“Why didn’t you book a suite? I don’t like such tiny rooms,” Frank said as he looked around unhappily.
Melanie pointed at the ceiling. “I thought you wanted revenge? Lily’s room is right above us. This is your chance if you so desire.”
Frank raised his head, took a look, and laughed out loud. “Do you want me to make a hole in the ceiling so she would fall right down into my arms?”
Melanie rolled her eyes silently. Sometimes, she was speechless at the intelligence of this man. “Of course not! However, if something happened, you could say that it was Lily who went to the wrong room and ended up in yours.”
Frank understood, and he pinched her chin while laughing. “You’re so smart!”
“Is this why you’re not staying with me in the same room?” It had been some time since he had a female companion, and he told Melanie there was no need to book two rooms because they could just sleep together.
