"I’m busy.Also, I’m going on a business trip soon," Alexander said.
"Are you saying you won’t care about my sister’s safety just because you're busy?!" Brandon yelled
over the phone.
"Hmph.You said it yourself —Brittany’s your sister!"
After a moment, Alexander continued, "She’s not a little girl anymore.It would help if you told her not to
visit my place so often.It wouldn’t be good for her reputation if people were to gossip.By the way, how
does she have so much free time on her hands? Isn’t she supposed to be shooting a drama?"
Upon hearing that, Brandon finally realized something.
"You don’t want to spend time with my sister, do you? You know how she feels about you! My parents
would be happy if you guys got together.What's bad about it? Tell me honestly.Are you seeing
someone?"
Alexander stayed silent for a moment.
"She’s your younger sister, and I regard her as my younger sister too.I’m hanging up now.Talk to you
soon.You should go look for her."
After saying all that, Alexander hung up and immediately made another call.
"Book me a flight to Westwood.I want to leave as soon as possible."
It was the first time he found work so mundane.
‘Life is difficult to get by without her by my side"
The perfumery competition would only start in the evening, so the participants had time to rest in the
morning.
Instead of doing last- minute preparations, such as revising theoretical knowledge or undergoing
training, Lily chose to relax and calm herself.Her assistant, Giselle, however, was much more anxious
than she was.
Giselle had been making calls all morning, contacting various personnel from the company, pacing
around Lily’s room, and looking at Lily from time to time but hesitant to speak.
Lily knew what was on Giselle’s mind.She probably wanted to say that Lily was too calm, but she
feared it would affect Lily’s mood.
Giselle’s attitude amused Lily, so she chose to say nothing and allowed Giselle to continue panicking.
Toward the late morning, Jenny called.
"The competition is later this evening, right?"
"Just get to the point."
Lily smiled as she glanced at Giselle, who looked back at her nervously.
"I know you’re not nervous, but could you at least pretend that you are for the sake of Giselle’s sanity?
She’s earnest about work.иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σмI’ll have you know that she’s been nagging at me all
morning."
Jenny groaned, and Lily could tell how helpless she was feeling.
"I’m not..."
Lily glanced at Giselle and straightened her back as she answered, "Okay.I’m quite nervous about the
competition later, but I think I should be able to manage.Don’t worry about it.I'll make sure to bring glory
to the company!"
Upon hearing that, Giselle’s worried expression finally loosened up as she breathed a sigh of relief.Her
tightly clenched fists also relaxed, and Lily had to suppress her laughter at this sight.
"Thanks for comforting me.I feel much better and less anxious now."
"Hahaha! Is Giselle next to you now? That’s enough.She’s cautious but quite weak-hearted.Don’t scare
her," Jenny laughed.
"Yeah, I got it."
As soon as they ended the call, Giselle came forward to comfort Lily.
"Ms.Christian, don’t be nervous.The company sent you as its representative, meaning they trust your
abilities.Just do your best.It would be great if you could win a prize, but..."
Giselle paused and did not finish her sentence.She was afraid to jinx it.
"It’s okay too.Don’t stress yourself out too much, and relax!"
She even massaged Lily’s shoulders, attempting to help Lily relieve her stress.It rendered Lily
speechless.
‘I bet she’s been holding it in all day.If I wasn’t nervous, would she have nothing else to do? However,
Lily knew Giselle had kind intentions, so she played along with her words.
"Yeah, I don’t feel so anxious anymore."
