Chapter 407
"Why don't you give Lily that small, pathetic company of yours? Then she can decide on any name she likes,
correct?" A clear male voice sounded behind them.
He walked over to their table and sat next to Lily, saying, "I'm sorry I'm late. I had to take care of something.”
Even though he had told her to call if she needed any help, she was still surprised that he would show up
unannounced.
"Who are you? How dare you eavesdrop..." Nathaniel frowned as he wanted to kick this rude man out
immediately.
Nonetheless, when he viewed Alexander's face closely, Nathaniel thought he looked familiar. In a sudden rush
of realization, his expression changed, "Y-You're Mr.
Russell..."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter all, they worked in the same industry. Even though he had never met Alexander, Nathaniel knew
who he was and had also glimpsed him at social parties. Still, he could not meet Alexander due to their
vastly different social and professional statuses.
Nathaniel had considered using his connections to meet Alexander, but his influence and company
were too modest. MN Inc. was simply too small to be of interest to
La Beaute Group.
Nathaniel never imagined meeting Alexander Russell in that restaurant. Alexander had moved to sit
directly in front of him, with one hand resting on the back of Lily's chair, giving the impression that they
were very close.
‘T-This is...’ Nathaniel's mind went blank as he was momentarily stunned.
"1 heard you're trying to pursue my girlfriend?" Alexander turned to look at him and asked calmly.
"Y-You...I-I..." Nathanial gulped.
There were no words that could describe the shock and surprise he felt. 'What did he say? His
girlfriend? Lily? Was Lily his girlfriend? Wasn't Edward Sullivan Lily's boyfriend?'
Nathaniel's head was filled with questions. His body trembled uncontrollably, and he was still too
stunned to speak.
"I overheard what you said, and it dawned on me, Mr. Hall, that you’re quite confident with your career.
Additionally, I’ve heard nothing but praise for your company’s recent releases. You're quite capable
when it comes to your marketing performance, aren’t you?” Alexander appeared to be carrying a light
conversation.
Alexander appeared calm and unconcerned, making it difficult to decipher what he meant by his
comment.
“Haha, it’s all right, I guess,” Nathaniel laughed dryly while his mind spun, thinking of how he could salvage the
situation. He pondered, 'What exactly was Alexander trying to do? Was he on Lily’s side?’

Alexander continued slowly, “However, I heard that the two new products were created by Melanie Thayer,
right?”
Nathaniel choked on his spit and immediately replied, “ Yes, but it’s...”
“Honestly, it doesn’t matter who made it because consumers only care about the fragrance's quality, right?"
Alexander paused before continuing, “Still if the perfumer was the mastermind behind a kidnapping and
suspected of covering up for a drug addict, I don't think the public would still use her products. Either way, I
doubt both of your products would qualify for the yearly perfume championship. Such a shame!”
Alexander did not sound sorry at all. Instead, he used a condescending tone to mock him.
Lily looked at Alexander in astonishment. Whatever Alexander had just said to Nathaniel contained so much
information that even Lily did not know about.
‘Melanie? The mastermind behind the kidnapping? Covering up for a drug addict?’ Why was Lily unaware of all
of these happening around her?’
