Chapter 299
After Benedict, the young lad from the woodcarving shop, refused Lily's order, she lost contact with
him, and his phone number was changed.She wanted to know about the source of the wood, but the
owner of the wood carving shop refused to say where he had gone.It was as if he had vanished.
Alexander said he would help her locate Benedict, but he had never even met the guy.
She did not hold her breath because she knew it would not be easy.
There were more urgent things to do.
Before Lily could focus on finding him, she had a perfume convention to attend in Westwood.She was
representing Rebirth at a major event for the first time, and she had no one she knew and trusted by
her side.
Jenny had work to do, and Olivia could not accompany her either.
The company sent an assistant named Giselle Schmidt with her instead.
It seemed that the assistant had a lot of experience and a good command of the Westwood language,
which was why she was assigned the role.
The journey was peaceful.
Nonetheless, because they didn’t know each other well, there was some distance between the two.
Lily found the flight exhausting and promptly passed out in her hotel room in Westwood.She had no
idea Melanie and Frank would check into the same hotel two hours after her arrival.
"Why didn’t you book a suite? I don’t like such tiny rooms," Frank said as he looked around unhappily.
Melanie pointed at the ceiling.
"I thought you wanted revenge? Lily’s room is right above us.This is your chance if you so desire."
Frank raised his head, took a look, and laughed out loud.
"Do you want me to make a hole in the ceiling so she would fall right down into my arms?" Melanie
rolled her eyes silently.
Sometimes, she was speechless at the intelligence of this man.
"Of course not! However, if something happened, you could say that it was Lily who went to the wrong
room and ended up in yours."
Frank understood, and he pinched her chin while laughing.
"You’re so smart!"
"Is this why you're not staying with me in the same room?"
It had been some time since he had a female companion, and he told Melanie there was no need to
book two rooms because they could just sleep together.However, Melanie insisted they must book two
rooms, and they must be far apart.
This caused him to be unhappy.
"If I’m there, how are you supposed to have fun?"
Melanie laughed, patted Frank’s shoulder, and felt confident that her plan would be a success.
Of course, this was not the only reason she booked two separate rooms.
First, she didn’t want to share a room with the perverted Frank.
That would be torturous.She had to take care of her body, believing one’s body was one of their most
significant assets.She had much more to do and gain, so she must not waste it all on Frank.
Second, she wanted Lily to be completely ruined on this trip to Westwood.
A knock on the door woke Lily.
She gathered her hair and barely summoned enough strength to get out of bed and go to the door.
"Who is it?"
"Ms.Christian, we have to go through our schedule for the day," came Giselle’s voice.
"Aren't we only starting tomorrow afternoon?"
Lily was still drowsy and feeling a little disdainful.
Giselle was too serious about her job.
Since meeting Giselle, Lily knew she was a capable person.
However, Giselle was too inflexible, which was why they were not a good match.
"True, but the Westwood organizers planned the exhibition for tomorrow morning.All the participants
can visit."
Looking at the schedule in her hand, Giselle continued, "On top of that, there is a welcome dinner
tonight.You must attend, so you should shower, change, and apply make-up now."
