Spoiled by Mr. Russell

Chapter 229

Lily slept deeply. It was not because she had a tiring day in the lab but because...

She was experimenting in a specific field when she discovered that men and women naturally had different endurance in certain areas. For example, Alexander had woken up early to go to the company for a meeting.

Lily was not even sure what time he had left. Vaguely, she remembered that just before he left, he had placed a kiss on her forehead. She could not remember much before that.

She fished around with her fingers and found her vibrating cell phone. She held it up to her ear. "Hello?"

"Lily, it's me." It was Olivia's voice, and she sounded energetic.

"Huh, it's still so early. Don't you want more rest?" Lily said, half-awaked. She tossed around but did not feel like moving at all.

"Early?" Olivia looked at the time. "It's about to be six o'clock. How is that early?"

"Six o'clock? Six o'clock isn't early?" Lily's brain was still exhausted. She was about to hang up the phone.

"Lily, it's six o'clock in the evening. Surely you don't think it's six o'clock in the morning?"

"Six o'clock in the evening isn't early? H-Huh?!" Lily slowly returned to her senses. "What? Six o'clock in the evening?!"

She could not believe it. She picked up her phone and looked at the time properly. True enough, it would be six o'clock in the evening soon.

After being stunned for two seconds, she jumped out of bed and ran to the window barefooted. She pulled open the curtain and peered out. It was like the setting sun was laughing at her for missing a day of sunlight.

W-What? Did I sleep for a whole day?"

"Lily, did you sleep from last night until now?" Although it was pretty obvious, Olivia still asked this question.

Lily grabbed her hair and sat down in the chair by the window. Although she knew what time it was, she still felt tired. She looked at the red sky in the distance and exhaled. "Oh well, who cares what time it is? Isn't it a holiday today?"NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

"It's not that. Yesterday, you agreed to go out with Jenny to celebrate. What time is it now?" Olivia reminded carefully, implying that Lily should not forget about it.

Lily did not forget. She just did not think it was urgent. "We can go any day. I'll call her and see when she is free." The lab was taking a break, so Lily and Olivia could relax for a while, but Jenny could not. She had to shoulder the responsibility of the entire department. Thus, they should follow her schedule.

"Sure. Then you set a time with Jen. I'm free all the time." Olivia was looking forward to it. It was the first happy occasion since she switched jobs; thus, it was worth celebrating.

"I'm going to hang up now." Lily was going to hang up when she heard Olivia say urgently, "Uh-"

"What is it?" Lily lazily put the phone to her ear again.

"Y-Yesterday, the boss talked about going on a trip to celebrate..." Olivia felt shy bringing this up, but she was looking forward to it. "Did he tell you where we're going?"

"Um, no."

Lily used her hand to support herself as she stood up. She went to the washroom to clean up while putting her phone to the side. Then she squeezed toothpaste on her toothbrush and started to brush her teeth.

With a mouth full of bubbles, she heard Olivia say in surprise, "Huh? Didn't both of you talk about it last night

after going back? I thought..."
