Melanie got into the car and put on the seat belt. “Why are you here and on the way?”“I’m doing something nearby. I’m also paying attention to something as important as you participating in the Perfume Blending Competition. I wasn’t expecting to see you come out,” Quincy explained with a smile. “Heading home or for the company?”“No.”Melanie then said, “I need to go to the Certification Center first to get some documents.”“What documents?” Quincy asked.“The first batch of our company’s men’s perfume is ready, so all we need is to get the certification documents. We can then release it in batches into the market for trial,” Melanie explained to him.When she was at the lounge, several of her colleagues from the perfume department in the chat group were talking about this. Melanie then told them that since the Certification Center was close to the venue where the Perfume Blending Competition was taking place, she could go and take it so that her other colleagues didn’t have to
The driver didn’t dare to waste any more time and quickly turned around, driving back to Melanie’s side, and slowly stopped.Before the car could even completely stop, Jeffrey opened the door and walked over to her side.“How are you doing?”Melanie was still feeling faint. Maybe it was the low sugar caused by her starvation. She had no strength to say anything, and simply waved her hand toward him.Jeffrey raised his eyebrow, bent down, and instantly carried her into the car.“I thought you’re not letting me ride in your car?”She asked the man sitting next to her with an eyebrow raised.“No point talking back when you’re in this state!” Jeffrey said, upset.Melanie pouted. She wondered who was the one that started it first?“To the hospital!” he ordered.“No.”Melanie wasn’t loud, but her tone was determined.When her eyes saw that the man next to her was becoming furious, she explained, “Our home is just in front. I don’t want to do anything else now. I’m starving becaus
Cyrus’s fake, severe voice came from the mobile.“That’s right. You have my number, but I don’t have yours. I thought you’d forgotten about it and didn’t want me to return what I owe you,” Melanie said with a smile.“I am someone that is especially petty! How can I forget those who owe me something?”Cyrus spoke as if he really was someone like that. Then, he said, “Get yourself clean up. I’ll send you an address. Come to my workshop right now.”“Now?”Melanie was shocked.“Yes, now. What?” Cyrus said unhappily. “The people from Harbor City are too passionate and only let me leave when it’s late at night. I’m leaving tomorrow already. So, are you going to fulfill your promise or not?”“Alright. Give me the address and I’ll head over right now,” Melanie guaranteed sincerely.After hanging up, Melanie waved the mobile in her hand and said to Jeffrey somewhat apologetically, “I need to head out and it’s quite far away. I’ll only be back very late at night. Don’t wait for me.”And
"How could this happen?" Melanie furrowed her brows."We don't know what's going on either. More than one trial user has raised concerns. It's becoming quite a big issue. Our PR department and colleagues from a third-party PR agency are currently working together to figure out a solution," the assistant explained.As they were talking, Annie's call came in. After some thought, Melanie instructed her assistant, "Go to the QC department. Ask them to prioritize testing the batch of perfumes we distributed for trials to see if there's any problem." "But Miss Melanie, we've already checked multiple times, and the certification center found no issues.” The assistant was puzzled by Melanie's instruction. "Regardless, now that someone is claiming there's a problem, we have an obligation to retest. If it turns out to be our fault, we'll compensate and apologize," Melanie said, hanging up and answering Annie's call. "Mel, could someone be deliberately targeting Jones Enterprise? Norm
"Back then, I remember my father mentioning that Melanie's father single-handedly expanded Jones Enterprises' perfume in a short time. even in the bleak environment of the fragrance industry at that time. "It was rumored that the reason he could achieve this was due to his extraordinary talent and expertise in blending fragrances." "So, could Melanie have inherited this talent?" John thought out loud. "But, sir, as you said, it's just a rumor," the assistant cautiously remarked, as she didn’t know what John was thinking about. John raised his hand to stroke his trimmed beard. "Rumors don't arise out of thin air. Send more people to investigate this thoroughly for me." "Yes, sir!” the assistant agreed. - Before Melanie could arrive at Jones Enterprise, professionals online had already started pointing out that the appraisal documents released by Jones Enterprise were internal and lacked certification from the Certification Center, making them completely unconvincing. Sud
Melanie looked up in surprise and saw Jeffrey's slender neck and chin. He enveloped her in his coat as if he were her knight in shining armor. Behind them, Jeffrey's subordinates and bodyguards quickly took control of the troublemakers, after which one of them approached Jeffrey to seek instruction. "President Morgan, how should we handle these people?" "Take them back and find out who's behind this!" Jeffrey instructed without turning around. "Yes, sir!" Instantly, the area behind them fell silent. Melanie emerged from his embrace, noticing that his back was completely soaked. Droplets of water were dripping down his coat. "Are you okay?" She wanted to ask many questions, but in the end, all of them condensed into this one. "I’m fine. I just need to change my clothes." Jeffrey casually replied, "You go up. I'll escort you to the elevator." "Alright." She nodded. Jeffrey escorted her into the elevator, and she went directly to her office. An assistant was already
One of the female employees nervously picked up her phone, opened her Instagram app, and handed it to Melanie. She was cautious, as if confessing her own guilt. "Miss Melanie, I followed Vivian on Instagram when I coordinated her advertisement shoot the last time..." Everyone knew Melanie and Vivian had a fight when shooting an advertisement last time, so the female employees feared offending Melanie. However, Melanie didn’t mind. Her eyes were fixed on the phone. In Vivian's latest post, she wrote, [Another long night saved by face masks…] In the comments, Quincy expressed his concern. [If you can, get some rest. Take care of yourself.] The tone he used made it feel like the two of them were more than just acquaintances. Melanie blinked and suddenly recalled a time when she was in Quincy's car. His phone rang, and the screen displayed a contact named "Vivi." Could that person have been Vivian? "Thank you." Melanie locked the phone and returned it to the female employee
Twenty minutes later, an impromptu board meeting was convened. Being bold in a twisted way, Quincy admitted on the spot that everything was his doing. He even provided detailed information on how he leaked the information. The other shareholders present immediately turned their blame toward Quincy's father. "Mr. Quicksilver, you’re too unscrupulous! Why did you do this? You caused us to suffer a loss!” "Even if you used to work closely with Daniel, look at Daniel's current state! Why would you still choose to stand with him?" Everyone voiced their condemnation, and Mr. Quicksilver was furious. He pointed at Quincy and berated, "You ungrateful child! Were you threatened by someone? How could you do such a foolish thing? Did someone force you to take the blame? Speak!" Feeling that she was being indirectly criticized, Melanie calmly sneered, "Mr. Quicksilver, I can't figure out how creating trouble for him benefits me or the perfume department of Jones Enterprise. Do you think
