Nathaniel could not feel the slightest pity for her now. In retrospect, he should have suspected that she was trying to dispose of the baby and sent someone to investigate, but he didn't. He never knew that she wanted to abort the baby so early on. Nathaniel even thought about their future and living a good life with her, but she was halfhearted, making her worthless. "I’m nice enough not to ask you to leave MN Inc. Of course, the company will participate in the annual competition, but it’ll be in the name of MN Inc., not you as a representative. You can only accept the award as a representative, and that’s the best I can do.” "No, no!" Melanie could not accept it.She made a deal with herself for the competition and to bring herself to a higher level. Her feelings and everything were on the table, and the bet was still on. How could she give up her future? "You can't do this to me! You can't take my credit. This new product is my achievement. It belongs to me!"
“I can tell you’re not feeling too well after your surgery, so I’ll stop arguing with you now.”After turning the wheelchair around, Nathaniel continued, "I have to head back and rest. I'll arrange for someone to take care of you. As for going home, let's discuss it when you’re ready to be discharged."At that point, there was nothing left to say. In addition to Lily, he also needed to consider maximizing the company's interests. It was inappropriate for Melanie to hold onto her position for a long time. Lily quickly hopped into the shower when she got home. She felt like bad luck had assaulted her from every corner today.Melanie was no threat to her, but the whole thing had been frustrating. Lily had not expected Melanie to use her pregnancy to frame someone. Melanie was far more vicious than she had imagined.When Lily got out of the shower, she saw that she had a missed call from someone named “Grumpy Craftsman.” She pursed her lips and thought that something must h
Jenny, standing outside the door, was worried, so she decided to call Olivia. "Has Lily mentioned anything to you about new products?" "No. What's wrong?" After leaving the hospital, Olivia went shopping for groceries before heading home and cleaning the house. The vacuum cleaner was rumbling in the background, and she could not hear Jenny too well. "Lily went into the lab and locked herself inside. I tried to talk to her, but she ignored me. I don't think she's in a good state. I'm a little worried." Upon hearing this, Olivia was stunned and quickly turned off the vacuum cleaner. She subconsciously mumbled, "Is it because of what happened today? She looked okay when she left earlier, though."Jenny was curious. "What happened today?"“Long story. Lily is in the lab, right? I'll go check in on her." Olivia quickly put aside her things, took off her apron, washed her hands, and hurried to the lab. There was no response from inside the lab. Helpless, Jenny could
“Y-You’re serious?”It was not that Jenny doubted her capabilities. However, the effects of the moment were impactful. So impactful that the aftermath would be long-lasting.Lily was like this, even in the early days. It was hard to say how she would be later on. It was apparent Lily was in a bad mood now. Jenny did not want to fight with her, so she said, “All right since you’ve finished, pack up and leave. It’s getting late.”“I’ll send her home,” Olivia volunteered.They both took the bus. Once they got on board, the driver instinctively shouted to the back, “Hey, ladies, are you sure you’ve used enough perfume?”Olivia laughed, embarrassed. As a perfumer, having all kinds of scents on her was typical, and she did not always smell good. The perfume ingredients were complicated, and making perfume was a complicated process.They had grown accustomed to receiving strange glances in public, but the potent, unique smell on them today was rare. Even Olivia, who was used to immersin
Olivia sighed and asked, "Why are you taking him seriously?""There's some truth to it. Local perfumers and brands are gaining popularity, but many still believe international brands make better perfumes. That's not the case for us," Lily said, feeling emotional.Olivia shrugged. "To some extent, it's true. Right now, the average standard in the country cannot compare to big, international brands.""Maybe not right now, but we'll surely be able to in the future." Lily had set her sights on this goal and would work hard toward it.One day, her perfume would be a big player on the international stage. The whole world would see that Hyderland was capable of creating top-quality perfumes."Lily, since you're home, I'll go now," Olivia said as she was about to turn around.Lily tugged on her and said, "Wait! Since you're here, why not come in for a bit? I was drunk the last time, so today, let me be the one to entertain you.""It's getting late," Olivia refused. "I might not be able
“Why would I need to be afraid? They’re all the employees that I hired.” After stopping to think, Olivia realized there was nothing to fear.It was even something good. Lily shook her head and sat cross-legged in front of her while sipping the juice.“What are you mixing, Lily? The smell is quite complicated. Don’t tell me you’re creating something new. This new product is… really “unique.” Since she got in the cab, Olivia had tried to smell and analyze it. The scent was too blended to tell what was inside, and the strong smell made it hard to distinguish.“I’ve not thought about it. It’s just a trial.” Lily shook her head while thinking. Initially, Lily just mixed some spices and essential oils on a whim. She did not have an exact idea of what she wanted to do. However, Olivia's and Jenny’s words gave her some inspiration. It was possible to create something unique from this.All smells in this world were unique, whether perfumes or essential oils. Nature generously gifted us a
“No, there’s no need. I’ve already troubled you twice. I can catch a cab back myself since it’s still early.” Olivia hastily waved her hand in rejection.“If so, I’ll accompany you to get a cab,” Edward replied.Olivia kept silent.Lily smiled when she looked at the two of them. She walked to Olivia, raised her hand, and patted her shoulder, “You should just let him accompany you!”“Achoo!” Edward, standing at the side, could not hold back his sneeze.Lily was speechless. She planned to go upstairs for a shower as soon as they left. At first, she noticed nothing, but Edward’s repeated sneezing made her realize how pungent her body smelled.When Lily walked over to Olivia earlier, he could not stop sneezing, even though Lily was still far away. She could estimate how strong the smell would be if she got close to Alexander.“I’ll go take a shower,” Lily said, and just as she was about to turn around, Alexander grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms.“Don’t hug me. I smell
Lily was holding something in her hand when she came back this time. Alexander could not see what it was.Lily returned to the table with the sample, turned on the table lamp, and studied it in detail. Its fragrance was exceptional. It felt like someone had synthetically made it, but it was not. Its fragrance was utterly natural from the wood itself.She was very interested and wanted to know the source of this wood. However, it would be difficult to find if the young lad no longer made it.As for looking for someone… Lily turned her head to ask Alexander, but she did not expect that he was standing behind her. It startled her, “Why are you here all of a sudden?”“Where should I be, then?” Alexander's tone was somewhat resentful, “Are you finally acknowledging me?”“I’m just thinking about something I can’t figure out.” Lily coquettishly tugged a corner of Alexander’s clothes and said, “I didn’t mean to ignore you.”“It annoys me even more because it’s not intentional.” Alexander
