If everyone hadn't just heard Grace's distinctive voice moments ago, no one would believe that the person standing in front of them was Miss Grace, the darling of Duke Wilhelm."How... did you end up like this?" The director was shocked.Grace gritted her teeth and looked down while clenching her fists. "I had an allergic reaction...""What kind of allergy could make you look like this?" People around her expressed their disbelief.Only Melanie's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness.Thinking about the mysterious disappearance of more than half of her royal jelly from the dressing table, could it be that this foolish woman used it as a facial cream?Melanie couldn't help but stifle a laugh, and Grace, seeing her smile, quietly gritted her teeth.After the director and a few scriptwriters had their fill of laughter, he said, "Alright, our shooting schedule cannot be postponed. It's all in the contract. If you can reduce the swelling by tonight, we'll shoot you. If not, all the ex
The environment here was tranquil, with a sea of flowers blanketing a secluded valley. There was a river in the valley, and in the distance, there was a pristine snow mountain. As it wasn't the peak tourist season, there were few visitors, but the flowers along the road were exceptionally vibrant.Melanie walked deeper into the field.Suddenly, in a large area filled with camellias, she spotted a bluish-purple flower.Blue poppy!Her eyes widened slightly. This rare flower only bloomed in Azure City, and this was her first time seeing it in person.She couldn’t resist and approached to take a sniff. The unique floral fragrance instantly rushed into her nostrils. Closing her eyes, she couldn't help but feel inspired for the Perfume Blending Competition she was going to participate in.However, why would such a rare blue poppy be planted among the camellias?Suspicious, Melanie looked ahead. Not far away, she saw another blue poppy in another camellia bush. Curious, she walked for
"Prepare the car!" After Jeffrey finished speaking, he got up and quickly went downstairs. As the car arrived at the filming location, it could be seen from a distance that all the staff were in chaos. William directly pulled the director over, and they stood in front of Jeffrey. Seeing Jeffrey with a stern face, the director thought he was dissatisfied with their work and didn't plan to invest anymore. He hurriedly assured, "President Morgan, it's our mistake this time, but we've never had such an accident before..." "Have they found her?" Jeffrey's voice was as cold as a poisoned ice blade, interrupting the director’s nonsense. The director trembled in fear. "Not yet... we are doing our best in the search..." Jeffrey's eyes twitched. He was usually rational and his emotions rarely took control, but now he couldn't help it. "President, the search and rescue team has dived into the river to search for the madam. Although this part of the water is deep, the current is no
"A little," Melanie replied. "I don't believe you!" The anticipation disappeared from his eyes, and he resumed his cold tone. "You’re just a kid. How much would you know?" "In this house, there are scents of camellia, magnolia, fairy primrose, and rhododendron. If I'm not mistaken, you're making the middle notes of a fragrance. These scents are all light, elegant, and lingering. Therefore, you need a strong and deep floral scent to balance them out. That’s why you were waiting for the blue poppies to mature, right?" Melanie had only taken one breath, and she already analyzed the fragrances in the old man's house. The old man's eyes suddenly lit up, and after suppressing his excitement for a few seconds, he stared at her and asked, "Did you smell all of that just now? With just your nose?" Seeing the old man's exaggerated expression, Melanie smiled even though her lips were cracked and nodded. "Yes." The old man squinted his eyes and started to walk around in circles. He w
"They messed with my flowers! How can I do nothing?! Of course I had to see who was causing trouble!" the old man said irritably, still pained by the destruction of his blue poppy."Did you see what the person looked like?" Melanie asked, pressing on."What if I did? I don't know them, and I'm not a cop," the old man replied, giving her a side glance. "Aren't you still alive? I hope this teaches you to be more cautious in the future!"Melanie retorted, "I had a feeling it was a trap...""And yet you still jumped? How utterly foolish!" the old man mocked."But it was urgent, and no one else was around. If the person was really drowning and I didn't help, they would have died," Melanie earnestly explained.The old man smirked. "No one else around? What about me?""Would you have helped him?" Melanie asked."No way! If he ruined my flowers, I'd happily watch him drown!" the old man said stubbornly.Melanie sighed. Talking to this old man was like talking to a wall."Sir, my perf
After speaking, the old man turned and walked out. "The vacant room is yours. Go rest quickly, and don't mess up my fragrance blending room."With his hands behind his back, the old man departed.Melanie couldn't resist staying a bit longer in the fragrance blending room.She was also passionate about making perfume, which was perhaps why she could quickly open up to the old man and communicate so easily.Despite its small size, the fragrance blending room was fully equipped. Many of the fragrances were combinations she had never encountered before.She couldn't help but admire the place. The old man might not look like much, but in the world of perfume-making, he was truly innovative and had unique insights.Walking through his place felt like unlocking the mysteries of her own blending techniques. Many things she couldn't understand before now seemed clear.Exiting the fragrance blending room, Melanie entered the vacant room the old man mentioned.As she was in an unfamilia
"You've got it all wrong," Melanie sighed, feeling the need to clarify. "Yes, we're married. The term 'uncle' is just a nickname," She awkwardly explained with a tight-lipped smile."I don't care about any of that!" The old man snapped impatiently. Without warning, he turned around and pressed something, causing the trap on Jeffrey's leg to snap open.Melanie heard Jeffrey suppress a groan of pain. Seeing the bleeding wound on Jeffrey's leg, she could only imagine the agony he must be feeling. She frowned deeply and urgently asked, "Sir, is there a hospital nearby?""Look around! There's no one here, and you're asking about a hospital?" The old man retorted sarcastically."It's just a flesh wound. I'm fine," Jeffrey reassured her. He remained seated on the ground without moving.Melanie's eyes were fixed on his injury, concern clearly in her eyes.It was rare to see her like this. Was she really worried about him?"Are you worried about me?" He blurted out in surprise.
Jeffrey closed his eyes momentarily and took a deep breath to steady himself.Using his uninjured foot, he gently pulled the blanket from the floor to cover Melanie. Then, he propped his face up with both hands to indulge in a long, contented admiration.In her deep slumber, Melanie looked just like a sunbathing lazy cat.After what felt like hours, Melanie began to stir. She stretched her legs and opened her eyes."Are you awake?" she asked.Jeffrey quickly averted his gaze and lowered his hands. "I just woke up," he replied."Oh, okay," Melanie responded, quickly checking herself to ensure nothing was exposed. Once she was satisfied, she rose from the floor. "How's your injury? Can you walk today?""Yes," Jeffrey replied, clearing his throat. "Whenever you're ready.""I'm good to go," Melanie said. "I'll let the old man know, and then we can leave."As Melanie stepped out to inform the old man, Jeffrey limped and made his way out of the room.When the old man saw them
