Spoiled by Mr. Russell

Chapter 59

Twitter was loaded up on the tablet‘s screen, and it appeared to be some breaking news. Lily recognized a well–known vlogger who frequently appeared on entertainment news lews.”

She sarcastically laughed and said, “I never expected Mr. Russell to look at gossip news.” Alexander looked at her and did not reply. After seeing that look, Lily had an uneasy feeling. She turned to the screen again to look more closely. The news turned out to be about her.

The main content was about Lily‘s time in college, with no mention of her name. To be precise, the years starting from college to her experience in the working world. The most detailed segment was about her relationship with Nathaniel and Melanie.

The title was sensational — ‘Happy Hour With the Wolf in Sheep‘s Clothing.‘

What?!

Lily was stunned, but she was more surprised than angry. She had not expected Nathaniel to do such a thing, believing that he had already used slander to its full extent. Lily had no idea he had more tricks up his sleeve. His best tactics were usually to seize information and go to court. This time, he even denied the romantic feelings that they had shared in the past. Oh, sorry! Maybe they did not have even the slightest feelings for each other. Otherwise, how could this have happened?

“I...” After looking at it for a while, Lily turned back to Alexander, “Do you believe it?”

It did not matter what others said or how Nathaniel slandered her. What mattered more was how Alexander felt.

Alexander‘s expression did not change. Hearing her question, he just blinked, “What?”

“I told you, it‘s boring stuff.” He turned off the tablet, then took her into his arms. He looked down at her face and pinched her nose. “Angry?” Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Lily shook her head. She turned to spread her arms and wrapped them around his neck. Then she rested her head on his shoulders, soaking in his sense of security.

How could she ask such a silly question? Why would he be so calm and say it was boring news if he believed that gossip? He trusted her unconditionally. It felt weird but reassuring!

The longer she spent time with him, the more she understood what a good man should be. Meanwhile, the more she thought about the cr*p she had to deal with in the past, the more she gave up on someone like Nathaniel.

“You said it‘s boring stuff. Why would I be angry about boring stuff?” She pressed against his shoulder and said sullenly.

“Okay, that‘s good.” Alexander stroked her long hair with one hand and rolled it in the palm of his hand.

“Did you skip work on your first day? Was it because you were unhappy?” He asked casually, making small talk. “Was someone in the company giving you a hard time?”

“No. The manager was very considerate. She gave me three days off to settle my personal affairs and time to adapt to the new environment. She‘s too generous.” Lily clapped her hands as though cheering for Jenny.

“Really?” Alexander questioned her words as he looked at her sideways.

“Such a considerate manager. I‘ll need to take some time to check on her.”

He looked serious, not joking at all.
