Chapter 375
Loius stared at her intently with a little smile. “You’re the manager of this project.”
Lily was shocked. ‘Since when did I become a project manager?
What am I in charge of? I have no idea what the project was about.’ “Nice to meet you, Ms.
Christian,” Louis said as he beamed. “Your name sounds familiar to me.”
“Oh, I remember now. You’re the winner of the recent perfumery competition, Lily Christian.
That was you, right?” Louis asked.
Lily had not expected the news to spread so quickly that even people in Marseille knew
about it. Moreover, his company specialized in making Southbank soap and was not in the
field of perfumery. Now that someone had recognized her, she could be considered a little

“Yes, I am.” She nodded in response.
Louis’s eyes instantly lit up. “It truly is you! I’m honored to meet you! To be honest, Mr. Russell, I was
worried when you said you wanted to combine perfume and the Southbank soap. But if the person in
charge is Ms. Christian, then I can rest easy. 1 look forward to working with you, Ms. Christian! ’’
Lily was speechless.
“I-I’ve never done this before. I can only say that I’ll try my best.” The fusion of perfume and
Southbank soap? She was only learning about this. She had no idea what to do yet. How was she
supposed to complete the task? She looked at Alexander with resentment.
“You’re too modest, Ms. Christian. Your victory in the perfumery competition held in Westwood
brought us great honor. You may not know, but others discriminated against us in this circle.
Moreover, this place is famous worldwide for its various brands of makeup, perfumes, and other
goods.
“In their eyes, we’re not as good as them. You’ve brought great honor to us.” Louis gave Lily a
thumbs-up as he praised her. His compliment was sincere, not because he wanted to win
Alexander’s favor.
His words made Lily feel flattered, but at the same time, they gave her the satisfaction of having
brought them glory. She was happy that she had done something for her people. However, she knew
that this was just the beginning. There was still a long road ahead.
They discussed a little more before leaving with a few Southbank soaps that Louis had prepared
beforehand. Alexander tried to hold her hand after they left the shop, but Lily avoided him.
"Are you angry with me?” Alexander quickly sensed her emotions.

“So you do know.” Lily side-eyed him and said, "You told me you were taking me out for a
fun time, but it turns out it was a business meeting. You attend your business meetings
as you please. Why must you get me involved? I had no idea what was happening and
was suddenly made a project manager!”
Lily did not question him earlier as there were outsiders present. Now that they were
outside, she started going to town on him.
Alexander could not help but smile when he saw her puffed cheeks. “It was a business
meeting, but I didn’t lie to you when I said I was taking you out for fun. Look, you even
got gifts!” He waved the gift bag he was holding at her.
“I don’t want it!" Lily retorted as she looked away and walked off in a huff.
