His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 47

"It's not bad. I'm in a new environment and working with new people. It feels like a rebirth to me, just like the company's name."

Lily did not speak about the mistreatment she experienced at her new workplace. She knew that not everyone would get along with her, and there would always be those she clicked with and those she could not.

Jenny was right. Lily had not made a name for herself, nor did she have any experience. Not only that, she had several lawsuits waiting to be settled. It was typical for companies or teams not to want her on board. It was true that Lily got into Rebirth through her connections, but now she must prove her doubters wrong by demonstrating her genuine capabilities.

"That's good," Alexander said, lowering his head to leave a peck on her cheek.

He was aware of everything that occurred at the company but did not bring it up since she didn't tell him herself. He also wanted to see how far she could go on her own after being so adamant about not making their relationship public. Alexander knew she would not disappoint him.

The soft contact between his lips and her cheek could not satisfy him anymore. He lowered his head further and found her lips this time. The sight of her bright

eyes and pink lips made his eyes darken as a wave of desire washed over him.

His firm grasp on her waist prevented her from collapsing to the floor because of her weary limbs. Her hands were also tightly gripping his shoulders. Still, she dared not provoke him further, fearing that he would become hungry for her. At that moment, her phone rang. The ringtone, to Alexander, was a shrill sound to his ears.

"I'm going to take a call." Lily retracted her arms, but he was unwilling to let her go just yet.

Impatiently, he looked at the phone in his peripheral vision, "Ignore it!"

"Let me see who it is first.”

His expression made Lily want to laugh. She did not expect to find him so adorable when he was unreasonable and childish. Although Alexander was silent, his grip on her waist did not loosen one bit.

Lily's phone kept ringing, and she worried it might be an emergency, so she got on her tiptoes and pecked him on the cheek to console him.

However, before she could balance herself, he turned his head and locked lips with her. A long moment later, he was finally willing to let her go. The phone never stopped ringing, which showed how persistent the caller was. Blushing, she ran over to pick up her phone, but the name she saw on the screen stunned her.

It was Nathaniel. Unconsciously, she glanced at Alexander and realized he was also looking at her.

"Do you want me to take it for you?" He offered as he noticed her hesitation.

"It's fine. I can handle it."

Shaking her head, she answered the call and put it on speaker. Nathaniel’s angry voice traveled into their ears as soon as the call was picked up. "Lily! Why did you stop renting the place? Why didn’t you tell me about it?"
