His secret spoiled wife (Lily and Alexander)

Chapter 273

It was getting late, and Eloise had said what she had to say, so she stood up and told Nathaniel, “All

right, we'll talk about this after you’ve recovered from your injury. For now, you rest and get better.”

After she finished talking and was about to leave, she thought of something and turned back again.

“Right, forget about Melanie.”

She meant what she said.

Nathaniel did not say anything. Just like that, the ward quietened down again.

The following day, Melanie brought some soup and buns she had bought to visit Nathaniel. After the

car accident, it was like the two picked up where they had left off. They did not mention what happened

before, as if things were back to “normal.”

However, there was an apparent chasm between them. Melanie would bring him stuff and take care of

him, while Nathaniel would not kick her out. Everything was peaceful. It was like the quiet before the

storm.

Melanie fed him breakfast, cleaned up the place, and helped him wash his face and hands. She would

only sit down and tell him she had something to say afterward.

“I went to the lab to look, and everything is going on as usual. There are no problems, and the few new

employees adjusted very quickly. The new perfumers had foundations, but they were not up to

standards yet, so it was wiser to hire more people,” Melanie gave Nathaniel the latest company NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

updates.

Even if she did not report to him, Nathaniel already knew all these. He acknowledged what she said. “I

received the mail yesterday about the formula adjustment. It was your hard work, so you deserve the

credit.”

His tone was polite and distant. He only briefly mentioned the formula adjustment because when he

did, he would think of the disgusting things that happened.

Melanie understood. She did not poke the bear. All she said was, “It’s my job. It’s for the good of the

company.”

In every sentence she spoke, she emphasized that what she did was for the company, for him. The

implication was that she had a role to play, so he was not to blame her. Nathaniel could tell what she

meant. He kept quiet and did not argue.

Melanie lowered her head, took chewing gum from her bag, and stuffed it into her mouth. She said

casually, “Right, I heard Rebirth has submitted their entrees for the annual competition.”

“I’m sure they did,” Nathaniel said faintly. He felt like she was searching for a topic of conversation so

that it would not be awkward between them.

“But this time, Lily prepared the entree by herself. Rebirth trusts her so much?”

Nathaniel was a little impatient. He looked up at her. “What are you trying to say?”

Perhaps his words were influenced by his mother. He felt irritable. Suddenly, he believed that Melanie

liked to beat around the bush. Before getting to the main topic, there was no need to talk about barely

related things. He thought, ‘Just tell me what’s on your mind.’

“Nothing much. Since Lily left MN Inc., a lot has happened. I feel like I never knew her. I never thought

she could be this powerful, join Rebirth, and even gain so much authority. I don’t know what kind of

magic she possesses.”

Melanie raised her head and looked at the ceiling with a big sigh. She felt emotional.

Nathaniel did not say anything, but he took every word she said seriously. It was true that he felt like he

never knew Lily. If she was not from the Lodge family nor had the kind of support that would entail, how

would she get into somewhere like Rebirth?

Although Rebirth was not extremely big, they were under La Beaute Group’s umbrella, so the hiring

process was strict.
