Chapter 158
“Sure.” Lily made the decision. “Lily, I think we should reconsider this.” As Lily‘s superior officer, Jenny believed it was her responsibility to remind her colleague to be careful. However, she could not reject Lily‘s decision, seeing as how Lily was confident enough to the point where she was willing to use her own salary for this matter.
“If you feel this decision is not suitable, I could purchase it with my own money under my name.” Although Lily did not have much money with her now, she could borrow a little from a certain someone.
“Okay then.” At this point, Jenny stopped persuading Lily and turned to look at Ben. “You must give us the most authentic and best ones you have. We don‘t want any low–quality goods, understand?”
“Don‘t worry about it. We can‘t do that even if we wanted to because we can‘t find low–quality ones to replace them.”. This item was too unique, after all. They would need to breed these plants before using low quality goods to replace the high–quality ones.
“That would be the best.”
The duo left the nursery after signing the contract and paying the deposit.
They saw a car similar to theirs at the entrance, but it was a different color. Lily and Jenny looked at the other car as they got into theirs. Coincidentally, they saw Melanie exiting the car with Frank. She even had her arms wrapped around his.
Jenny joked. It was difficult for anyone to know Melanie’s exact feelings. Lily shook her head, not knowing the answer to that as well. To be precise, Lily might never realize Melanie‘s hostility toward her if she had not found out about Nathaniel‘s affair with Melanie.
Although Lily and Melanie were not close, some thought they were good friends since Lily disliked social interactions and only had Melanie and Nathaniel by her side throughout her university years.
Nathaniel told Lily they needed a talent like Melanie for the company’s development. His iustification was that Melanie knew how to manage public relations and conduct research, so she could even accompany him to public events. Lily did not mind all that, and she believed she did not wrong Melanie, so it was unclear where Melanie’s resentment toward her came from
