Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLily had always been indifferent to such things, which made him wonder when she noticed him using company funds to take Melanie oul on vacation and buy her gifts. Nathaniel did not understand. Why did she wait until now to mention it when she had known about it for a long time? He could only think of two possibilities. The first one was that Lily did not know it before and only found out somehow recently. The second one was that she had known about it for a long tbut pretended she was ignorant and unaware. Either possibility was scary to Nathaniel. Their confrontations just reinforced his sense that he had never really understood her. It made him wonder if she was still the Lily that he knew.
Nathaniel clenched his fingers tightly one by one. His anger had reached a breaking point. He might have looked calm facing the board of directors, but he had been panicking the day before. He feared he could not reassure the shareholders, and it would be gover for him.
Luckily, Nathaniel convinced and persuaded them to believe in him. They were satisfied with his explanation so far.
However, things would not be so simple if the shareholder got to know the truth. He dared not bet whether Lily had any evidence on this matter. After scontemplation, he gave in after weighing the pros and cons. What Lily wanted was just Olivia. Then, so be it. He would give Olivia to her.

If Melanie successfully developed the new products and won the award, they would beca hit in the market and easily rake in profits. Would he still need to be concerned about Lily?
Nathaniel dialed an extension number and said solemnly, “I am Nathaniel. Revoke Olivia’s non - compete clause! That’s right. Yes, that’s all. Don’t need to worry about this anymore.”
Melanie still went to the laboratory after resting for a few days. She was not eager to go as the odor of chemicals and solutions was unpleasant. She went, nonetheless, after considering her future fand status.
She had “authored” the formula but still had to put on a show and participate in the research and development process. Melanie must, at the very least, show up in person. Having supervised and participated in the entire procedure, she would not be stumped if she were questioned later. Melanie could not bear the consequences if someone like Lily showed up again.
