Forgetting You Was the Best Ending novel Chapter 15

Chapter 15

“Lily, can we entrust this design competition to you?”

Lily stood up and addressed Benjamin, “I’m still new to the company. Shouldn’t this go to more experienced seniors?”

“This was a collective decision, Lily. Your talent speaks for itself.”

Others in the conference room nodded in agreement with Benjamin.

Seeing their unanimous confidence, Lily accepted the task graciously.

“I’ll give it my all and won’t let anyone down.”

After the morning meeting, Benjamin asked Lily to stay behind.

“Mr. Benjamin, did you need something?”

Benjamin frowned slightly at her formal address.

“Lily, we’re friends. No need for such distance.”

Since he’d taken her home after she got drunk last time, Lily had warmed to his advances.

Even her parents, John and Grace, approved of Benjamin, often remarking, “That young man Benjamin seems quite decent.”

But with no interest in romance currently, Lily maintained a friendly distance–especially at work.

“If there’s nothing else, Mr. Benjamin, I’ll head out now.”

Benjamin caught her arm. “The Scott Group is competing too. Victor’s team is led by Sophie.”

Lily understood his implication. “Noted.”

The competition’s theme, “Four Seasons,” instantly brought Lily’s past “Spring” design to mind.

She decided to expand that concept into a full collection.

Days later, she presented her designs to Benjamin.

He leafed through them, impressed.

“Lily, these are exceptional especially ‘Spring.“”

“Results should be announced in a week or two. Join me at the ceremony.”
