Spoiled by Mr. Russell

Chapter 19

Lily went to the laboratory after leaving MN Inc., which was located far from the company. Lily and Olivia were mainly involved in research and development and would only mass produce their latest products after proving their success rates.

However, Nathaniel was usually eager for quick success and would rush for production, even though the product had yet to pass its tests. He would always jump the gun and launch newer products.

He said that the market was ever–changing, and others would soon replace them if they did not seize their opportunities. Therefore, he thought it was necessary to push new products to capture the consumers‘ attention.

Lily disagreed with his aggressive marketing because she knew developing a new product would require a process of inspiration and experimentation. Newer products needed repeated tests to succeed, and they could not rush to release them.

Although Lily disagreed, she could only make suggestions because she was not qualified enough. Nathaniel told her she did not know how to run a business and only needed to focus on producing newer products quicker. Nathaniel also said she would be a wealthy wife who would enjoy the rewards of his success.

However, Lily never wanted that. She would be content as long as she could be with him. She had sacrificed many things for him, but he took advantage of her all along.

Lily hurriedly stepped on the breaks when the lights turned red and collected her thoughts. She told herself to stop thinking about Nathaniel and that she needed to move on. She knew it was not too late to do so.

When she arrived at the lab, she realized Nathaniel was more cunning than she thought. Olivia was not there, but she was in the archives room with several strangers who seemed hostile.

“What‘s going on?” Lily asked calmly. “L–Lily!” Olivia looked like she had found her savior as soon as she saw Lily. “You‘re finally here! These people are about to destroy the archives!”

Lily glared at the strangers as Oliva told her what was happening. Then, Lily patted Olivia‘s back to calm her down as she asked the strangers, “Who are you guys?” “Mr. Hall sent us,” one of them responded with an arrogant attitude.

“Nonsense. Mr. Hall never told me about this.”

“This is none of your concern. Mr. Hall has ordered us to work with you at the lab starting today to hasten the development of newer products as soon as possible.”

Nathaniel told them to work with me? He just wants to keep an eye on me!‘ Lily thought.

It seemed Nathaniel was still naive because he assumed Lily would continue to work for him as if nothing had happened during the competition yesterday.

“Since you‘re all here to work with me, you should be in the lab. What are you doing in the archives room instead?” Lily said mockingly.

“T–These guys told me to locate all the research and development documents. They also demanded that I hand over the keys to the archives room!” Olivia hurriedly explained.

“‘The R&D documents? Why should we give you confidential information?”

“Mr. Hall said...”

Lily interrupted the man before he finished speaking, “Stop mentioning Mr. Hall and tell him to speak to me in person instead. You said this is all Mr. Hall‘s doing, right? Well, I could say that you are a spy from another company!” The men looked at each other in dismay after Lily rebuked them,NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
