Spoiled by Mr Russell (Lily Christian and Alexander) novel Chapter 15

Chapter 15

“What nonsense could they have possibly told me?” Lily broke free from Nathaniel’s grip and approached Melanie. “I’m interested to know what you think they would tell me.”

Under the scrutiny of Lily’s sharp gaze, Melanie averted hers. “How would I know what they told you? But I’m guessing they want to offer you a role even when they know you’re working with us. They probably badmouthed us and boasted about themselves. Lily…” After a slight pause, Melanie continued, looking like she had just remembered something.

“Did they offer you a higher salary?”

“Higher salary? What would you consider that to be?” Lily asked in return and blinked her eyes innocently as if she knew nothing about what Melanie had just mentioned.

Melanie was disgusted by Lily’s act and thought, Such an idiot. She doesn’t even know how to negotiate for a higher salary. How did she even connect to the people from Rebirth? There must be a mastermind who planned everything last night. Someone must’ve persuaded her to do those things.’

“Lily, I’m just worried about you. Don’t speak to me that way, please? I’m afraid they’ve deceived you,” Melanie said concernedly. She took advantage of the situation and held Lily’s arm.

Melanie was taller than Lily, so it was a little inconvenient for her to hold Lily’s arm. Melanie had to lean down a little, but she was unwilling to do so. As a result, she pulled Lily’s arm up to match her height without caring if Lily would feel uncomfortable.

Lily turned and looked up at Melanie, her ‘good friend’ of many years, as she started thinking that she must’ve been blind to keep such a pretentious woman by her side.

Lily had poured her heart and soul into perfume research, causing her to neglect her social life. Moreover, she did not like to involve herself in meaningless social interactions as she believed it was enough for her to have a few good friends. Little did Lily know that some people treated her like a fool even when she was sincere in their friendship.
