Chapter 215
Olivia stood up to throw away the trash. Approaching Lily, she tried to remember the name. It seemed familiar; she should have known it, but couldn't recall it immediately.
Seeing Olivia struggling, Lily raised her hand and patted her shoulder. "It's the President of La Beautรฉ Group."
"Oh That's right! I knew I'd heard that name before! It's the President of La Beau" Olivia choked on her words, staring at Lily in disbelief.
Her reaction didn't surprise Lily; she'd expected it. In fact, Lily was impressed by her own boldness. She was unsure why Alexander would agree to her proposal. Even then, she couldn't figure out why he would help and pamper her so. However, her status as Mrs. Russell was undeniably real.
"La Beautรฉ! The President of La Beautรฉ?!" Olivia swallowed hard, finally finishing her sentence. She couldn't comprehend this earth-shattering information. Olivia only knew Lily had a new boyfriend; she had no idea his identity would be so shocking. Staring intently, Olivia asked, "Lily, are you you're not his mistress, are you?"
Lily was speechless and lightly slapped Olivia's face. "Is that what you think of me? What are you talking about?"
"Ah, it hurts! I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that!" Olivia cried, quickly holding Lily's arm. "I was so shocked! President of La Beautรฉ How could it be him?"
Olivia still couldn't believe it. "Lily, are you telling the truth? Is he your boyfriend? Are you really dating?" It wasn't that Olivia was nosy or looked down on Lily; she simply couldn't comprehend the connection. She needed time to process it. Alexander Russell was almost legendary. Olivia never expected to be involved with someone like him, let alone as Lily's boyfriend.
Lily hadn't intended to tell Olivia, but Olivia had already seen their texts. Even if she hadn't, Olivia would have eventually recalled the name "Alexander Russell," causing more trouble later. Lily might as well come clean now. After all, she trusted Olivia and believed she wouldn't spread it.
"Yeah," Lily nodded. "Don't tell anyone about this, Liv. We don't plan to make it public."
"Oh," Olivia initially agreed, but then couldn't help asking, "Why?! Aren't you two in a normal relationship? Why don't you want to make your relationship public? Does he refuse to acknowledge you? Is he serious about you?" Olivia's barrage of questions made Lily regret not using a nickname for Alexander in her contacts. She hadn't expected Olivia to see it!
