Chapter 255
“What kind of nonsense are you spouting?” Lily poked a finger at Olivia’s forehead, pushing the latter
back into her seat.
“Hey! There are just some things we can’t explain in this world!” As Olivia took a seat, she explained
herself, thinking that her words made a lot of sense. “Well, I think God is helping you punish him for all
his bad deeds!”
Lily shook her head. “That’s enough. I’m going to get the bill. Wait for me, gossip girl!”
“You’re going to be so bored if I didn’t have all this gossip for you!” Olivia retorted in defense.
When Lily stood up, she saw Olivia’s phone on the table. It still displayed pictures of the accident,
making her think, ‘Is this really karma for Nathaniel?’
After parting ways with Olivia, Lily went to Collectors Street. She looked around for interesting items,
spending her rare free time in relaxation. This was a street that sold antiques, both authentic and fake
ones. Buyers had to determine the authenticity of the goods by themselves.
After walking around for a bit, a shop without a banner attracted her attention. The shop looked small,
but the items were placed neatly, showing the owner’s great sense of aesthetics.
When Lily walked closer to the door, she smelled a delicate fragrance. It was a pleasant scent not too
strong, but relatively fresh. It matched the vibes of the shop. No one came to her service when she
entered the shop as if this shop was empty with no one operating it.
Lily carefully observed each item and noticed that most of the items in this shop were made of wood.
The items carved were different, too, depending on the wood used. The craftsmanship was not
exceptional, but every item had its unique point. The first glance Lily took after entering this shop told
her that this place was different in a unique sense from the others.
She walked around the shop for quite some time but did not touch any of the items. She did not plan on
leaving soon, either. After a moment, a bright voice belonging to a man sounded.” What are you looking
for?”
It was due to his voice that she finally realized someone else was in this shop. However, he just hung
his head low as he sat in the corner. Due to the lighting and other items blocking the corner, she did not
notice him earlier.
Now, the man had lifted his head to look at her silently. His gaze was just like the items in this
shop-sedate. “Nothing in particular. I’m just looking around.” Lily smiled. “Sir, the smell in your shop is a
mixture of everything!” “You’re an interesting one, young lady. Why do you care about the smell in this
shop instead of looking at the items?” He was slightly harsh. Lily raised her brow to look at the man,
who looked to be in his twenties. ‘He called me young lady?’ She glanced at the item before him. Lily
realized he was carving something and was not done with it yet.
“Did you carve all the items in this shop?” she asked.
“Buy them if you want to, or leave. Why do you care who carved them? Do you care which chef makes
the food when you eat at a restaurant?” Looking slightly impatient, he asked and planned to sit back
down.
However, Lily had to retort. “Of course I do! I won’t eat anything made by a chief I don’t like. I would buy
these things if you carved them. It appears that’s not the case, so I won’t buy anything then.”
“Why you!” He tightened his grip on the graver in his hand. “Are you here to argue with me?” “What?
You’re here by yourself anyway. I can entertain you then.” Lily joked.
