Chapter 219
Alexander took Lily by surprise, and the car liappened to be taking a turn, so she stumbled into his arms. Olivia was stunned. She pretended she did not see anything as she held the door handle with one hand and covered her face with the other. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
Lily‘s face turned red, and she pushed Alexander gently to sit up straight, but he took the opportunity to hold her waist, letting her lean on liis body. Alexander left no room for discussion.
“Is the new product a success?” Alexander asked calmly.
Sure enough, this successfully diverted Lily‘s attention. She immediately became excited and said, “Yes! It‘s how I wanted exactly. It was even better than what I expected. It’s perfect!” “That calls for a celebration,” Alexander added. “Yes. We need to celebrate!” Thinking of this, Lily turned to look in Olivia‘s direction, “Liv, let‘s fix a date to have a good meal. Do you want to go to the Cantonese restaurant from last time? I remember you liked the food there.”
“Okay! Then let‘s go to...” Before Olivia finished speaking, she felt that something in the air was off. She felt Alexander glancing in her direction, and a chill ran down her spine. Olivia immediately changed her words, “I–It‘s okay! I don‘t care, really. Hehe.”
Sure enough, it was not easy to be a third wheel. “You don‘t care? I remember you praising that place! By the way, I should also invite Jenny She has been working very hard lately.” Lily was ready to start planning their celebration.
“Haha, it‘s all right. We can do whatever you want.” Olivia looked out the window, holding her cheek in one hand, but even so, she could see Alexander‘s icy face from the reflection in the window.
Sigh. I didn‘t expect Mr. Russell to be jealous of me. I‘m a woman, so why would he be jealous?!‘
Olivia felt like she was on pins and needles but could not tell Edward to stop the car. She could only endure it and hoped that Edward would drive faster.
With this thought, she pinned her hopes on the man behind the wheel. Edward was driving attentively, with a resolute look, from her point of view. Maybe he did not look as fierce as Olivia thought because of the lighting. “Are you okay? Why don‘t you look excited?” Lily frowned, bothered by Olivia‘s lukewarm response.
“I think you‘re quite excited,” Alexander said while holding Lily tighter. He lowered his head to look at her, “Tell me, who else do you want to celebrate with?” “Who else? Well, Liv and I were the main ones who developed this product. Jenny also contributed a lot, so we should also invite her. As for the others...” Lily wanted to say she could not think of anyone else, but alter seeing Alexander‘s threatening gaze, she finally realized what Alexander meant by his question.
“B–But...” Lily revealed a flattering smile, “You can‘t!”
Alexander‘s face darkened instantly. His lace became even darker when he leard Edward coughing slowly from the driver‘s seal. Olivia covered her face with her hands, pretending to yawn. She was trying to suppress her urge to burst into laughter.
Lily was not stupid. She quickly realized that her words were ambiguous and immediately clarified, “N– No, I mean, it is inappropriate to invite you to the celebration because it would be inconvenient for you to show up in public.”
