Chapter 145 Lily walked back to her room on tiptoes. After scanning her access card, she entered
through the door and tried to appear as calm as possible. “I‘m surprised you‘re back.” While closing the
door, Lily heard a sarcastic voice behind her, making her tense up immediately.
“H–Hey! You‘re awake?” Lily turned back to look at Jenny, sitting on the couch in her pajamas, watching
her. It looked like she was waiting for Lily to return. “Did I wake you? Oh, man. I wanted to throw our
garbage downstairs and buy breakfast on the way back. I‘m sorry for waking you up.” Lily‘s words
naturally flowed as she had gone over them in her mind earlier.
“Wow! Continue with your interesting story. I’m listening.” Jenny snorted.
“What story?” Lily blinked innocently, then said, “I‘m tired. It must be because I woke up too early. I better
get some more sleep now.”

move. She stretched her leg and stopped Lily from taking another step. “You think I‘ll let you escape?”
Lily smiled helplessly. “Escape? What are you talking about? I just want to take a nap.”
“No, you can‘t. Tell me honestly. Where were you off fooling around last night?” Jenny questioned in a
righteous tone as if she was talking to a crime suspect.
Lily pursed her lips, finding Jenny‘s choice of words hilarious. “Huh? Who would I fool around with? You?
You were already asleep when I came out of the shower last night. I slept soon after that. I just woke up
earlier than you today. What do you mean by fooling around? Mind your words.”
After saying all that, Lily wanted to walk away, but Jenny would not allow her to do so. “I was awake
since 1 a.m. last night, and you were already gone. If you slept, what time did you wake up? You meant
to tell me that you woke up before 1 a.m. and went to throw the garbage, and you were doing that till
now?”
Lily had no words. She did not expect Jenny to be awake since then. ‘She didn‘t tell me that she woke
up. Did she wait for me the entire night?‘
“You weren‘t awake the whole night, were you?” Lily leaned closer to look at Jenny‘s face and noticed
the dark circles under her eyes. It made her feel guilty. ,
“Don‘t try to change the topic! I was up waiting for you the entire night, and I couldn‘t even get through to
you because your phone was off. You‘re amazing, aren‘t you? I even considered calling the cops just
now! Don‘t even think about leaving the room today if you don‘t tell me everything honestly!” Jenny stood
in front of the door, insisting that Lily explain herself. Her action rendered Lily speechless.
“Okay, I‘ll tell you, I woke up at 1 a.m, and went to throw the garbage downstairs because I couldn‘t fall
asleep. After that, I suddenly felt the urge to go for a night jog. While jogging, I got lost and finally found

at Jenny cautiously, sprouting lies that even she could not bring herself to believe. Sure enough, that was
the same for Jenny, who had dissatisfaction all over her gaze. Lily sighed and gave up on trying to enter
the bedroom. She strode back and sat down on the couch. After pondering for a moment, she finally
said, “I went to meet a friend.” “You met with a friend?” Jenny came over to Lily. “Who was it? Isn‘t this
your first time here? Where did that friend come from? Is it a guy or a girl? Why did you have to meet
your friend so late at night?”
Lily found Jenny‘s train of questions interesting. “Jen! Are you interrogating a suspect? It‘s my fault for
hiding this from you, but this is my private matter, isn‘t it?” “I‘m not trying to intrude on your privacy. It‘s
just that this is your first business trip with me, and we‘re in a foreign place. What am I going to do if
anything happens to you? How should I tell your family and the company about it? I must take care of
you here!” Jenny explained her concern for Lily, evident in her tone.
