Spoiled by Mr. Russell のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 71 - チャプター 80

It was just a small gesture, but Alexander caught it. He quickly pressed the button to raise the car’s partition that separated the driver and the back seat. Without waiting for Lily’s consent, he picked up her injured foot and placed it on his lap. With the interior light on, he could see that Lily’s ankle was red and swollen. Alexander frowned at the sight and asked, “Why are you so easily injured?”“How would I know?” Lily replied in a low voice. It was as though she was fragile when all she had was a sprain. Alexander was the one who caused this, or more accurately, the way Edward drove the car.“Your bones are fine. You just need to apply some cream on it after we’re back. Reduce walking for a few days.” Alexander made his conclusion after checking her foot.“You know how to check for injuries?” Lily was surprised.“Checking on simple bruises and sprains is not hard.” Alexander raised his head to look at her, and his frown deepened.“Your body…” Alexander said hesitantly

“Yeah. I set that target for myself.”“Are you crazy?” Alexander loosened his hands on the towel, causing it to fall from Lily’s shoulders to the couch. As this matter was unusual, he had gotten Edward to talk to George. According to George, they were researching new products while experimenting with suppressing odor with fragrances. The plan was to get results within ten days, and three people were in charge of the experiment. However, Lily was not part of the trio.George was also surprised and promised to check on the matter immediately. However, Lily told Alexander that she would get the data within one day and that she was the one who set the target. He could only think that she was crazy when she made the promise.Lily did not understand why Alexander was reacting this way. Looking up, she said, “I’m not crazy. It’s not that difficult.”What she said rendered Alexander speechless. He did not know whether he should tell her that she was being overconfident or arrogant. The co

Melanie cleared her throat and rephrased herself, “I mean, there’s nothing wrong with the formula, so it’s not my problem either.”Then she turned to look at the factory’s manager. “We produce everything in the lab strictly according to the formula. If there were something wrong with the formula, we would have discovered it long ago. It must be the factory’s problem. Have you checked all the other ingredients? Have you checked if your workers made a mistake? Don’t just think about pushing the blame on others whenever there’s a problem here.”“Ms. Thayer, be careful with your words. What do you mean we’re pushing the blame? We are merely reporting the problem to Mr. Hall soon after discovering it. We just want to find out why, and after checking earlier, we think the problem lies within the essential oil. If you disagree, help us find the root of the problem, as you are a professional in this field. It will help us start manufacturing the products as soon as possible.”His words rile

Olivia looked at Nathaniel and then at her watch, “I’m not late. It’s still early!”“The company had notified all staff members to gather in the laboratory immediately. Where have you been?” Nathaniel asked with a livid face and stern tone.“I was sleeping at home,” Olivia said assertively. “What notice are you talking about? I didn’t see any. Also, I don’t read work notifications during non-working hours.”“How dare you talk back when you’re at fault? Everyone is working hard for the company. What about you? Do you think I won’t reprimand you because you’re a senior staff member? It seems like Lily has…” Nathaniel abruptly stopped speaking as if Lily’s name was taboo in the company. “Forget it. Go and check on the essential oils in the laboratory. See if there is any difference compared to before. If you do it well, I won’t hold you accountable for being late.”After some thought, Nathaniel felt that only Olivia would know the reason behind this matter apart from Lily. Olivia ha

“Thank you,” she said politely. Lily was confident that she had done her job well, and there was no need to be modest about it.Jenny smiled when she saw Lily’s confident expression. She leaned against the lockers and turned to face her, “Honestly, I thought you were the one who had plagiarized MN Inc.’s work.” Lily raised an eyebrow, unsure how to react to Jenny’s comment. When they first met, she knew of Jenny's untrust and disdain toward her. The way Jenny looked at her was so obvious. She practically had the words “You’re a plagiarizing thief!” inked across her forehead.Lily did not bother explaining herself because words could only do so much when others already had certain assumptions about her character. She could only prove herself through her capabilities and dispel those rumors with time.Jenny noticed Lily remaining silent and continued, “After all, Melanie Thayer was quite well-known in our industry. She was a dark horse that won numerous awards. Besides, most conside
