Spoiled by Mr. Russell novel Chapter 145

Chapter 145

Lily walked back to her room on tiptoes. After scanning her access card, she entered through the door and tried to appear as calm as possible. “I‘m surprised you‘re back.” While closing the door, Lily heard a sarcastic voice behind her, making her tense up immediately.

“H–Hey! You‘re awake?” Lily turned back to look at Jenny, sitting on the couch in her pajamas, watching her. It looked like she was waiting for Lily to return. “Did I wake you? Oh, man. I wanted to throw our garbage downstairs and buy breakfast on the way back. I‘m sorry for waking you up.” Lily‘s words naturally flowed as she had gone over them in her mind earlier.

“Wow! Continue with your interesting story. I’m listening.” Jenny snorted.

“What story?” Lily blinked innocently, then said, “I‘m tired. It must be because I woke up too early. I better get some more sleep now.”

She stretched her arms as she spoke, wanting to walk to her bedroom. However, Jenny was quick to move. She stretched her leg and stopped Lily from taking another step. “You think I‘ll let you escape?”

Lily smiled helplessly. “Escape? What are you talking about? I just want to take a nap.”

“No, you can‘t. Tell me honestly. Where were you off fooling around last night?” Jenny questioned in a righteous tone as if she was talking to a crime suspect.

“Okay, I‘ll tell you, I woke up at 1 a.m, and went to throw the garbage downstairs because I couldn‘t fall asleep. After that, I suddenly felt the urge to go for a night jog. While jogging, I got lost and finally found my way back after a long time. Do you believe me now?” Lily looked

at Jenny cautiously, sprouting lies that even she could not bring herself to believe. Sure enough, that was the same for Jenny, who had dissatisfaction all over her gaze. Lily sighed and gave up on trying to enter the bedroom. She strode back and sat down on the couch. After pondering for a moment, she finally said, “I went to meet a friend.” “You met with a friend?” Jenny came over to Lily. “Who was it? Isn‘t this your first time here? Where did that friend come from? Is it a guy or a girl? Why did you have to meet your friend so late at night?”

Lily found Jenny‘s train of questions interesting. “Jen! Are you interrogating a suspect? It‘s my fault for hiding this from you, but this is my private matter, isn‘t it?”

“I‘m not trying to intrude on your privacy. It‘s just that this is your first business trip with me, and we‘re in a foreign place. What am I going to do if anything happens to you? How should I tell your family and the company about it? I must take care of you here!” Jenny explained her concern for Lily, evident in her tone.
