Chapter 146
Since Jenny asked Lily all those questions out of concern, Lily did not feel annoyed and allowed Jenny to finish her words. However, she felt that it was inappropriate to tell Jenny about her relationship with Alexander right now. That was something she had to keep from Jenny, and she made a mental note to apologize to Jenny one day.

He‘s here on business too, so we agreed to meet,” Lily paused before continuing, “We inét that late because he was only available then. We were both busy with work during the day, so...” Although her excuse sounded a little fake, it was much better than getting lost during her night run. Jenny nodded thoughtfully, but something hit her suddenly. “Your friend is a guy?”
Lily did not know how to respond, but her expression answered Jenny.
“Is he your boyfriend?” Jenny continued.
Lily just said, “I guess?” ‘He has been my husband since we registered our marriage, and a husband had to go through being a boyfriend before that. They‘re the sanyway.‘ “Oh.” Jenny let out a sigh of relief, looking like all the burden had been lifted off her shoulders. Lily found it funny that Jenny reacted this way and asked, “Why do I feel you‘re happy abouthaving a boyfriend?”
Jenny looked just like a mother who had been waiting for her daughter to get a boyfriend. “You‘re right. Since you have a boyfriend, then you probably wouldn‘t...” She stopped and did not finish her words. Jenny‘s hesitant look reminded Lily of her unfinished words during yesterday‘s sampling session. It was like this yesterday too, and she appeared to have brought up a challenging topic. Lily did not think much about it yesterday, but since the topic cup again, she asked curiously, “Wouldn‘t what?”
“Forget it. It‘s all baseless gossip,” Jenny said, waving her hand. She felt embarrassed that she had believed those rumors before. However, Lily could guess what Jenny wanted to say, even if the latter

“N–No! I didn‘t say that at all,” Jenny quickly explained.
Lily replied smilingly, “I know it‘s not you, but that‘s probably what everyone in the company is saying.”
“Not entirely!” Since the topic cup, it was pointless for them to beat around the bush. Jenny said, “Mr. Will toldwe must keep you here at Rebirth, but the other employees know nothing about this. I eventually learned that you have the skills and talent to be a great perfumer, but I have to be honest: I thought you made it into Rebirth through your connections back then.”
Lily had a light smile on her face while she listened to lenny. She understood that it was
normal for others to think this way, so Lily did not want to make her relationship with Alexander public. Lily wanted to prove she was capable and her achievements were the results of her hard work, not because of Alexander or the Lodge family. Jenny continued, “However, I don‘t think your connections lie with anyone in Rebirth. Mr. will is the superior one here, and I could see nothing between you and him. I guess you know someone from La Beauté Group since Mr. Will protects you like that.” Jenny’s words surprised Lily because she did not expect Jenny to be this close to the truth.
