“Everything is perfect for him, but others slandered me so badly!” Lily whined angrily.
Amidst the comments, she saw a few netizens who tried to explain the truth on her behalf. They said that Nathaniel was only putting up a show to appear heartbroken. There was someone who even analyzed her fallout with MN Inc. in detail. Lily did not know the person, but their explanation was close to the truth.
However, most netizens’ criticism had drowned out such an article that outlined the situation’s truth. The other netizens called the writer a troll, and some even told the writer to shut up because even Lily was staying silent regarding the matter.
“You want to get back at them?” Alexander asked, leaning down as he placed the tablet down.
“Of course! I don’t care if he wants to put on a show! Nate can pretend he’s sad or whatever he wishes, but dragging me into this mess isn’t the right way to go about it.” Lily puffed her cheeks. “Besides, I must throw the blame back to him for the few netizens who stood up for me.”
Alexander sat down next to Lily and said casually, “That’s easy.”
“I don’t need your help!” Lily pressed Alexander’s hand down on the couch and said, “I can handle this myself!”
Sighing, Alexander looked at his hand. “I’ll feel useless if you do this. Why would you need me in your life if you can do everything by yourself?”
“You’re not useless. There are a lot of things I need you for.” Lily buried herself in Alexander’s embrace. “For instance, you can warm me up on a cold day like this. You can even be my blanket and pillow. Don’t you see how useful you are?”
Her words made Alexander helplessly chuckle as he hugged her back. “You don’t need me to do anything?”
Lily’s smile stiffened as she shook her head, saying, “Although this matter may seem complicated, it’s pretty simple to deal with. An eye for an eye. It’s as easy as that.”
In this situation, Nathaniel took advantage of the public’s pity toward him as the ‘victim.’ His plans went smoothly only because Lily focused on creating a new product instead of ending things with him. Nathaniel even settled their previous lawsuit in private.
Lily had enough evidence to prove her innocence, which would be the best way to get back at Nathaniel. Alexander said nothing as he noticed Lily’s persistence. He trusted that Lily would succeed with her plan.
…
On the other side of the coin, Nathaniel happily prepared to recruit more talents. He had ordered his HR department to publish a post to announce that MN Inc. was recruiting talented perfumers. They encouraged anyone passionate about the perfumery industry, regardless of their experience, to attend the interview and prove themselves.
This post caused a huge commotion on the internet as soon as it was released. As Nathaniel was the hot topic on social media, many went to MN Inc. for the interview.
He sat in his office, watching the interview session’s live stream. At that moment, Nathaniel felt that everything in his life was moving in a great direction again.
