Chapter 170

• Lily sipped on her juice while Edward savored his champagne. Lily's curiosity got the better of her, and she asked, "So, who is the person you planned all this for?" Edward's expression turned mysterious, and he replied, "I can't tell you that just yet. It's a secret. Maybe when that person starts liking me too, I'll reveal all." Lily smiled, amused by his enigmatic response.
• "You're really something else, Edward," she said, shaking her head in amusement. "But you're also a good person. I'm glad I'll be working with the Hamilton family." Edward's eyes widened in surprise, and he asked, "What? Working with us? You're not thinking of marrying me, are you? I should let you know, I'm already taken." He said this jokingly, but Lily just rolled her eyes.
• "Absolutely not," she replied, laughing. "I'm not thinking of marrying you. Richard offered me a job, and I'm considering accepting it." Edward's face lit up with excitement. "That's great! I'm actually starting at the office on Monday. It'll be fun having you around. We can have a blast working together." Lily chuckled and said, "We'll be working, Edward, not having fun. I'm very professional when it comes to my job, so you might want to steer clear of me."
