Spoiled by Mr Russell (Lily Christian and Alexander) novel Chapter 73

Chapter 73

The first thing Lily did upon reaching home was to take a shower. After an hour, Lily finally came out in her pajamas when she was satisfied with how great she smelled from head to toe, thanks to the mix of body wash and fragrant essential oil she created herself. Alexander had already showered in another bathroom. He walked over with a prepared towel when he saw Lily coming out. “You didn‘t dry your hair?” He realized Lily did not have the habit of blow–drying her hair after her shower. Even though there was a hairdryer in the bathroom, she always came out with wet hair.

“I don‘t like the feeling of hot air blowing on my scalp,” Lily explained and stretched out her hand to take the towel from Alexander. However, he moved his hand and covered her head with the towel instead. Then, he placed his hands on her shoulders. “Sit down.”

“I–I...”

Lily could not convince Alexander to stop, so she could only listen to him, sitting down obediently. Alexander pressed his hands on the towel and gently wiped her hair. “This is great service,‘ Lily thought, hesitating for a moment before she allowed Alexander to do whatever he wanted with her hair. Initially, she could not get used to how nicely he treated her but slowly, she started to adapt to it. Now, Lily learned to enjoy his kind acts. Alexander was so sweet toward Lily that she felt like she had fallen into a pool of honey. The way he dried her hair was so comfortable that Lily closed her eyes, enjoying the moment.

When Alexander heard no sound, he tilted his head and saw Lily‘s eyes closed, her head slightly lifted, looking like she was enjoying it. Alexander‘s lips curved into a smile, and he tried to lighten his hands‘ movements on Lily‘s hair, patting her hair dry slowly from the roots to the ends.

Sleeping with wet hair would be bad for her. Alexander could only dry her hair with a towel because she did not like using the hairdryer. Before she fell asleep, she murmured, “It doesn‘t smell anymore, right?”

“Yeah.” Alexander did not know what he should say about her now that she brought this matter up. It was his first time seeing a perfumer who made herself stink all over. ‘She‘s indeed different from the rest,‘ he thought.

Unaware of his internal complaints, Lily continued with her eyes closed, “With my exclusive essential oil, I can‘t stink! Still, it doesn‘t smell that bad. It‘s just that I used a little too much today, and it might be too strong when mixed, so...”

“Don‘t go there tomorrow,” Alexander interjected. “Huh?” Upon hearing that, Lily immediately opened her eyes and turned around to look at Alexander. “I can‘t. Ouch!”

As a result of turning her head abruptly, Lily pulled her muscle, making her yell. Alexander let go immediately and reprimanded her, “Careful there. Why’d you have to turn so fast?” “This is my job. Since I agreed to do it, I can‘t stop halfway. Plus, I promised...”

Promised what he asked keenly

“I promised my superior I would have the results within a day.” “One day? All 48 types of sınells?” “Yeah Wait.” Lily paused for a moment, slightly surprised. “How did you know it‘s 48 smells

“You need to have a detailed analysis of the 48 types of sources for bad scents. Who told you to complete it in a day?” Alexander asked in return instead of answering her question

“I did”

“It was you?”
