“There’s a black credit card with no password in your luggage’s middle compartment. You can use it." To Lily’s surprise, Alexander said that.
Lily got up quickly and rummaged through her luggage. Sure enough, she found a black credit card with gold accents. It did not look like any ordinary credit card. "When did you put it there?"
"It doesn't matter. As long as you can use it." After a pause, he continued, "It's not easy being out there, so eating and sleeping well must be your priority. Remember to take care of yourself when I’m not around.”
His words moved Lily, and she felt very much at ease.
All she knew was to be independent and self-sufficient since her childhood. Now she had someone who would always think about her and be concerned about whether or not she was eating and sleeping well. Her well-being seemed to be the most crucial thing to Alexander.
"Sure, you too," Lily said softly.
Alexander smiled and seemed to recall something, "By the way, I heard the organizers invited Wesley Parker. That person is a bit difficult to deal with, so if you bump into him, remember to avoid confrontation as much as possible."
‘Oops.’ Lily was silent, thinking about what Alexander had just said.
Hearing no immediate response from Lily, Alexander’s heart skipped a beat. He asked cautiously, "Don’t tell me you’ve already met him?"
"Hmm." Lily snorted softly and told him everything that had happened today.
After she finished speaking, it was Alexander’s turn to be silent.
"Are you speechless because of what I did?" Initially, Lily did not think anything was wrong with what she did, but when she narrated the encounter to Alexander from a fresh point of view, Lily thought that maybe she should not have offended such a heavyweight as soon as she arrived.
Nonetheless, if Lily could do it again, she probably would have done the same thing. She could bear many things, but she could not bear the blatant disrespect and contempt for the perfumers from Hyderland.
"Not really," Alexander said while rubbing his forehead. He knew her temperament very well, but he did not expect her to meet Wesley Parker on her first day there. Alexander could never have foreseen their encounter as well. He continued, "Didn’t it all work out in the end? Mr. Parker didn’t get mad at you, and he didn't kick you out."
"Well, yes, thanks to Lisa." Lily was aware of that. “If it weren't for Lisa, I might have gotten thrown out today." She said half-jokingly. Of course, she knew this was impossible.
As a top international perfumer, even if Wesley Parker were furious, he would not have done so much in front of too many people. Besides, Lily was not in the wrong. The organizer was indeed negligent and sloppy. Wesley Parker was angry because he got embarrassed in public. If he had kicked her out because of this, it would not have looked too good on him.
"Ultimately, it's still because of you. If it weren't for the friends you made back then, how could it have ended the way it did today?" However, Alexander was also surprised by Lily’s social circle, "I didn't expect you to be friends with Mr. Parker’s daughter."
Many wanted to get close to Wesley Parker and use him to make a name for themselves in the industry, but who would have thought that Lily was friends with his daughter?
"I didn't know Lisa was his daughter. When I met Lisa, she was just an ordinary, introverted little girl. I never expected her to be related to Wesley Parker.”
