His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 3

Lily looked down at her instep and raised her head calmly. "What's wrong?"

"Where are the First Love's documents?! We can't find it in the lab. Do you know what day it is today?! Rather than staying in the lab, you chose to wander around?!"-

Nathaniel followed Lily's line of sight and saw the small cut on her instep. He felt guilty for a while but soon thought of the upcoming competition, which was more critical to him.

"Isn't the new product’s reveal and competition starting tonight? I thought I still had some time left, so I bought myself some new clothes to prepare for it."

Before Nathaniel could speak, Melanie beside him laughed. "Why? Are you planning to attend?"

"Can’t I?" Lily turned to look at her former friend and asked back.

Melanie's smile deepened. "It's not that. I'm just worried you will feel out of place. Also, didn't you avoid participating in such activities in the past?"

"Yeah, you've never liked these places nor pursued fame and fortune. You can stay at home and wait for our good news! Now, where are the documents?" Nathaniel approached Lily and reached out, wanting to pat her shoulder, but Lily deftly turned sideways to avoid Nathaniel’s hand.

Nathaniel froze for a moment, and a kraft paper bag in Lily's hand immediately caught his attention. "Are the documents complete?" He took the bag and checked it carefully with concern before handing it to Melanie.

With her action so natural, Melanie took it and glanced casually. A satisfied smile appeared on her lips. It's not that Melanie did not understand the fragrance, but she still lacked talent compared to Lily.

In addition, after hooking up with Nathaniel, Melanie even gave up her acquired efforts. Over the years, she probably forgot almost all her knowledge, taking all Lily's credit and enjoying her achievements.

Holding the stacks of documents, Melanie almost heard the trophy beckoning at her. "Where are the samples?" Melanie questioned closely.

"You can pick them up at the laboratory before you leave for the competition," Lily responded.

Lily noticed the shameless couple’s excitement as they exchanged glances in front of her. Feeling disgusted, Lily asked, "Nate, can’t I participate in tonight’s event?"

Nathaniel blanked for a while and immediately frowned. "Lily, what's wrong with you? Didn't I tell you this is for your good? Did you forget about the new talent competition two years ago? You..."

"Of course, I'm not saying it will fail, but think about it.

There's always an ’if.’ If something goes wrong, then..."

Nathanial did not say anything after that. It was as if he cared about Lily wholeheartedly. If Lily hadn't heard Nathaniel's concern with her ears and seen it with her own eyes, the shameless couple would have moved her to tears. Every word the couple said was considerate and kind, yet Lily found it disgusting.

"Well, since that's it, I can only wish you two good luck tonight!" Lily said smilingly. Then she turned around." I’ll return to the lab now."

Nathaniel nodded hurriedly. "That’s right, hurry up and prepare the samples. Make sure nothing goes wrong, understood?!"

Lily hooked her lips and sneered. Oh, of course, she would ensure nothing went wrong.

On the way, she called Olivia, and the voice over the phone sounded concerned. "Lily, are you okay? By the way, Mr. Hall has been looking for you for almost a day."
