"Yes." Edward nodded in reply.
"Thank you!” Lily thanked him sincerely. However, this caused Alexander to feel jealous again, "You only thank him? What about me?"
"I don’t need to be so polite with you!" Before Alexander could speak further, Lily added, "Hey, you were the one who said that."
'It seems I've stepped on my own trap,' Alexander thought.
Edward looked at his boss in surprise when he saw Alexander stammering, unable to refute. 'It seems that only my boss's wife can make him feel so helpless.'
"I might be late today. Call me if you have any problems," Alexander said while putting on his coat.
"Okay!" Lily tip-toed to help him adjust his shirt’s collar. She suddenly remembered the upcoming trip," Oh right, you mentioned going on vacation earlier. Do you have a destination in mind? Or have you already decided where to go?"
"Not yet. Why?"
“It's nothing. Liv has a few recommendations. Since you're busy and have not decided on a place, why don’t the girls and I decide it ourselves?" She was traveling with Olivia and Jenny this time and could
decide the destination and itinerary by themselves.
"Sure." Alexander nodded in agreement.
"Of course, You were chattering non-stop and refused to go home. You insisted we continue drinking, and I couldn't stop you!"
"R-Really?!" Lily gasped in surprise. She was surprised to find out she was such a lousy drunk.
"Hahaha! Of course, it’s a lie! I’m teasing you!" Olivia laughed out loud and continued, "You're not a bad drunk. You just slept and could barely tell me which block you lived in at Imperial Hills. I couldn't get in without an access card, but luckily Mr. Russell showed up."
Olivia paused for a second and continued, "By the way, I told Jenny that you stayed at the Lake Hills. Since that's near Imperial Hills, I managed to fool her. You almost exposed yourself. Remember this, and don't mix them up!"
Lily was speechless. Indeed, one tended to make mistakes when one was drunk.
