Spoiled by Mr. Russell novel Chapter 166

Chapter 166

“That‘s nonsense! Of course Mr. Russell smiles!” “No, that’s not what I meant. He smiled a genuine smile!”

“Of course it’s real! Why would his smile be fake? Watch your words. If Mr. Russell hears this, you‘re done for!”

“I‘m trying to say that Mr. Russell usually smirks, and it‘s scary. When he does that, it‘ll most likely lead to something bad. His smile just now was real though, like one we‘d all have. It was see?” He looked at everyo one in the room find someone else who would agree The others in the room remained silent, but they all had the same thought. It also surprised them that Alexander had smiled during the meeting and that the same smile was entirely... out of character.

Lily waited for a long time, but she had not received a reply from Alexander. She kept checking her phone, her face turning a darker shade of red as she read the embarrassing text between Alexander and her. Gosh, she was acting like him. How could she have said something so uncomfortable?

“What‘s wrong? Why are you shaking your head and sighing?” Lily was so engrossed that she failed to notice when Jenny finished her work and came over to her. “Nothing, just trying to relax, so I was on my phone. You‘re done?” Lily quickly replied. “Yeah,” Jenny nodded and sat next to Lily. “I submitted the purchase list from Garden Road, and guess what?” “What?” Lily asked.

“They approved with no hassle. Let me tell you, I‘ve worked here for a long time, but I‘ve never submitted my purchasing orders with such a breeze. This was a miracle! It was just so smooth and hassle–free!” Jenny clapped her hands in astonishment.

“Right.” Lily already knew it would not be a problem. How could there be an issue when the company director had already cleared it?

just the thought sent chills down Lily’s spine. Well, not that she did not trust Jenny, but if more people knew about her relationship with Alexander, the higher the risk of them being exposed. Lily did not want that to happen yet.

Alexander‘s identity was sensitive, and he held such a prominent position in the company that if their relationship were to be exposed, Lily could imagine just how big of a ripple it would cause,

Besides, she did not want the Lodge family to find out. The only way to prevent this from happening was to continue to keep it a secret from Jenny. Jenny let it go after staring at Lily for a while. It was not like she was nosy, she was just curious about the strange occurrences the past few days. However, after asking Lily twice and seeing her pained reaction, Jenny decided not to push it,” Fine then, if you don‘t want to talk about then we won‘t. Still, you promised you‘ll show him to me when the time is right! Don‘t you dare break your promise!” “Okay, I won‘t!” Lily was glad that she could finally put an end to it. “Are you hungry? Why don‘t we go out for dinner?” After finishing her tasks for the day, Jenny was famished. “Didn‘t you say that there was a restaurant you wanted to try? Why don‘t we go there?” Lily said after giving it some thought. “Yeah, sounds good. Let‘s go,” Jenny nodded.
