"Are you a perfumer?" The girl asked as soon as she heard what Lily said. Lily sounded like an expert."Yeah." Lily nodded. Her focus was still on the piece of grass. "Now, can you tell me where you found this, or…could I buy it from you?"Lily assumed that she might want to make a profit out of the grass. After all, it seemed like the girl valued it.Unexpectedly, the girl refused. "I'm not selling it." Then, without waiting for Lily to speak, the girl got up and walked toward the scattered group of people that she was with. "You lot don't know how to appreciate good things! Look, this perfumer said this is great!" The girl exclaimed with her head held high, like a child who had just received praise. Lily was startled. She did not expect that this girl would directly reject her and go off to flaunt. This was bewildering to Lily."What perfumer? Stop lying. Although we don’t have the title yet, we’re professionals with equivalent skills too. Rachel's uncle is also an internationally
The man was surprised because Lily was supposed to be in the courtyard. The gate was locked, and the walls were nearly five meters high. ‘Did she fly out of there?’On the other hand, Lily was so focused on the raw material before her that she did not notice the others."Here's the deposit if you don't believe me." Lily took out her purse and a small stack of cash, stuffing it into Kasey's hand. "You can give me your address, and I will drop by one day. Let's sign an agreement."When the youngsters noticed Lily's seriousness, they could not hide their surprise. However, they still found it ridiculous."Congratulations, Kasey! You found someone that appreciates your little grass!" The girl next to Kasey patted her on the shoulder with a hint of mockery in her voice.However, Lily could not care less. If everyone could identify raw goods so quickly, there would not be so few perfumers around, and if others easily recognized raw materials like these, they wouldn't be considered rare.
‘This girl is so bizarre. She’s young and competitive, but what’s the point of arguing about who’s the winner in this sort of thing? How uninteresting!’When Lily did not speak, they assumed she was afraid and laughed. "It's so obvious that she got caught. Are you throwing in the towel already?""What should we compete with?" Lily's statement was so sudden that they all froze and could not react for a while."We'll see who knows their scents better," The girl who mocked Kasey spoke up. Although she was not tall, she still looked imposing. It was apparent she was the ringleader."Am I competing with you?" Lily asked in surprise. Hearing this, the group burst into laughter."Are you looking down on her? Do you know who she is? It's time you get humbled!""Kasey, shouldn't you keep your actress up to date before bringing her here? How dare she look down on Rachel like that? Now you're just digging your own grave!""Everyone knows Rachel is the queen of scents. She has her uncle's no
Lily knew this game was difficult for beginners like them but a piece of cake for her. However, it was not her fault that she was bullying kids here. She never wanted to participate in such a childish game but wanted that raw material.The results of the game were indisputable. Lily had won by a mile. At that time, the faces of the people around her darkened. They were in utter shock, as they had never expected Lily to win in such a dominant manner.On the other hand, Lily did not care about the game, as she took the box back from Kasey. "Remember your promise. I will pick up the goods in two days."The little girl was completely stunned!Although Kasey felt that Lily was knowledgeable enough to appreciate the grass she brought, Kasey did not expect Lily to win with such ease. Even Kasey herself was not confident that Lily could win it. Now, she was beginning to look at Lily in a different light.While Kasey was still in a daze of admiration, Rachel exclaimed, "Hold up!" After a
Lily took a step back. She was getting a little impatient with these kids."I can only admit defeat if I'm defeated. Do you think you're so great?" Rachel looked at her provocatively, with no hint of allowing Lily to leave.Then, she took two steps toward Lily with fire in her eyes. Rachel was determined to win.Just as the atmosphere began to tense, a voice called out. "Rachel!"Although it sounded casual, Rachel was startled and immediately tensed up. Panic flashed across her eyes as she turned around and greeted awkwardly, "Hi, Uncle." "What are you doing here?" The man who came over was dressed casually, but his extravagant aura was prominent. His simple question was putting Rachel in the spot. "I-I just came with my friends." "Is the competition over?" he asked again."Y-Yeah, it is," she replied in a low voice. She did not expect her uncle to show up here at all. The man took a few steps toward her and rubbed the top of her head. "Well, since it's over, hurry home. It's getti
”We met before in Westwood” He tried to remind her, but Lily still could not recall who he was.He confirmed that she was not pretending and gave up trying to help her recall him. He said, “You performed slightly better than me in the sampling competition. My name is Noah Richards.”He gestured with his finger that he was just slightly worse than her. He then stretched out his hand to express his friendliness. Lily glanced at his hand and nodded as a greeting, “Noted.”Noted? What kind of an answer was that? Was this woman always so arrogant? “I was just testing the waters in Westwood and hadn’t thought I would receive something unexpected. I wonder when I could have the honor to compete with you again officially?”Lily looked at the man in front of her. He seemed unconvinced of his loss even though his words remained polite. He was obviously implying that he lost because he was careless and did not try his best in the previous competition. Therefore, he would like to compete a
”Looks like I’m not too late.” Alexander knew Lily could protect herself but only felt relieved when he confirmed her safety with his own eyes. The previous kidnapping case at Westwood kept him on edge. However, there was nothing wrong with being cautious.“Is there a problem?” Lily heard his implicit meaning and blinked her eyes at him a few times.“Let’s change locations before we continue,” Alexander said. He pulled her towards a nearby big tree at the side. There was a black Mercedes-Benz parked there. The dark night and shade from the tree helped to conceal it and no one would notice it unless they paid attention.Lily got into the car and felt much warmer. She breathed in her hands to keep warm. In the next instant, both of her hands were held in his palms, and he warmed her hands with his. “It’s so late. Where have you been?” He asked in a reprimanding tone.“I went treasure hunting,” Lily recalled the treasure she found and could not help laughing. Heartfelt joy could b
“The invitation card was a fake.”“It’s fake?!” Lily was shocked. She did think something was wrong with the invitation this time or that the other party had other intentions. However, she had never expected the invitation card to be fake.“How can it be fake? I saw the Perfumers' Society seal on it, so it doesn’t seem fake. We can report it to the police if someone deliberately counterfeited it.”Alexander nodded. “This matter is not that simple. I’ve checked the seal, and it is genuine. So, it should be someone who misused the society seal. The question is, how could someone easily obtain the seal? Also, do you know who owns the place you’re living in?”“Who is the owner?” How would she know who owned the place?“Have you heard of the Richards of Kingsland?” Alexander was unsure how much Lily knew and explained to her slowly, “That place belongs to the Richards’ youngest son, Noah Richards.”“Noah?!” Lily had only felt that the name sounded familiar earlier. However, she had ju
