His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 314

Lily was surprised. She did not have many friends, but she managed to meet one here in Woodland, and that friend turned up to be someone of high caliber.

"Well, it’s unexpected, but it’s your blessing." In any case, Alexander was relieved. At least with this relationship, Wesley Parker would not be too hard on her.

"What kind of blessing is this? I’m in such a dilemma now. Whether I join the competition or not, it will not end well for me." Lily murmured while looking up at the ceiling.

"Are you afraid?" Alexander turned his chair to face the glass window. Outside was the boundless night view of the city. It was late at night, but he had no intention of going home. Without her, he would much rather stay in the office and face the table full of work.

"Why would I be afraid? I’ve encountered worse. I can’t control what others say, can I? I’ll do what I must!" Although Lily was complaining, she had already made up her mind.

She could not change the situation she was in. She had never backed down when faced with adversaries. Why should she withdraw from the competition because of what people might say? She joined the industry because she loved perfumery, not because she wanted approval and fame.

If Lily cared about public perception, she would have been devastated when Nathaniel and Melanie teamed up to slander her.

Her words made Alexander laugh, "Just do whatever you want. I have your back."

This statement was the best encouragement, and support Lily needed. She felt relieved knowing there would always be someone there to support her no matter what. She was no longer working or fighting alone.

Lily thought someone was knocking on her door when she heard a knocking sound. She answered, but there was no one there. She then realized the sound came from Alexander’s side of the call. "It sounds like someone is looking for you. We’ll talk later."

Before Alexander could say anything, Lily hung up the phone. He frowned as he looked up at the door. “Come in.”

"Mr. Russell, it’s Ms. Oakley." Edward looked a little uneasy.

The person entered Alexander’s office, ranting and complaining, "Ha! I knew Alex was here. Why did you stop me, Edward? What kind of secretary are you?”

"Ms. Oakley..." Alexander sat up straight and waved his hand, and then Edward stopped and exited the office.

The woman who came in was wearing Chanel's latest slim-fit trench coat this fall. After she walked in, she took it off and revealed a tight little black dress she was wearing underneath. The dress fitted her body perfectly, outlining her curves distinctly.

She took a few steps forward with a smile on her face. Then, seeming to recall something, she glanced at the door and said dissatisfiedly, "Edward is losing his grip. He doesn't even know how to close the door."

Just as she was about to close the door, she heard Alexander say, "Leave it open."
