No one had ever said such a thing, and it stunned the sales advisors. They were at a loss for words, not knowing how to respond to Lily.
Upon seeing the two sales advisors meet gazes and looking disappointed, Lily knew they wanted to seal a huge deal. She smiled, saying, “I’ll get this diamond ring, but do you have wedding bands? Mr. Russell and I would like to see what you have.”
“Yes, we do!” The sales advisors returned to their senses and got up to their feet to retrieve the wedding bands.
“Won’t you consider buying a bigger one?” When Lily spoke earlier, Alexander listened and did not interrupt because he fully respected her decision. When the two sales advisors left, he tucked Lily’s hair behind her ear and explained, “They’re right. The bigger the diamond, the better its preserved value. What about I buy a few more for you to play around with?”
Lily rolled her eyes, knowing there was more humor to his words than truth. She could not help but complain, “What’s the point of me keeping these things? Even if I were to store something, it would be raw materials for my perfumes. These things have no purpose besides collecting dust in my jewelry box.”
“There is!” Alexander got closer to her and smiled cheekily. “If I go broke one day, you can still sell the rings for extra cash to make your life easier, and—ouch.”
He had almost finished his sentence when Lily punched him lightly on his chest. She was speechless at how he could joke about such a thing.
“That won’t happen. Even if it does, the money I make from creating perfumes is enough to support us.”
Jokes aside, an ordinary person would not be able to count the number of assets La Beauté Group owned. If the company were to go bankrupt, it would probably affect the lives of more than half of the people in Hyderland.
Lily was serious too. If there came a day when Alexander would run out of money, Lily could support herself and her husband with her own abilities.
