Rose, Alexander’s secretary, was growing impatient as she waited. Her boss remained calm, but she could not help asking, “Mr. Russell, why don’t I call Lily and ask about her current location?”It should be easy for the company to look up the employee’s phone number. She would happily be the villain if her boss were unwilling to urge Lily.Alexander replied calmly, “No need. Go outside to deal with it first. She’ll be here soon.”Alexander had already made his point, so there was no use in her rushing. While her superior seemed calm under pressure, she was anxious despite only being a subordinate. Rose bit her lip, turned, and left.Alexander finally pulled out his phone and looked at it, his eyes darkening.When they parted ways, she claimed she needed time to gather "evidence." She added that it could take some time and she could be late, but she would be there eventually. Certainly, she would provide the press and the company with a satisfactory explanation.He trusted her and
”What are you talking about? Unlike who?” She immediately teased her."I meant he’s not like some men. They're dumb and boring. It’s as if saying something nice could kill him!" She said vaguely, but it was obvious who she was referring to.Lily wouldn't let her off the topic so quickly, "Is that so? Who’s the man you are referring to? Do I know him? Is he handsome and brave? Is that man surnamed Sullivan?"Olivia blushed hard and glared at her fiercely, "You’re annoying. I don’t want to talk to you anymore! Hmph!""You can talk about me, but don’t like it when I talk about you instead. You have double standards!" Lily shook her head and said emotionally."I do have double standards! Anyway, you're not allowed to talk about him and me.""Him? Who are you referring to?" Lily pretended to be ignorant. Olivia was mad with anger, but there was nothing she could do."Okay, I’ll stop teasing you!" Olivia pouted and looked at the box in Lily’s hand. This was something they had just m
”The impact of this incident was too significant. This is not just about La Beauté Group. You should know that the entire perfume industry was affected due to Ms. Christian. This affects our reputation! Who would dare to buy perfumes in the future? Who knows if there’s any poison in them? She’s an alarmist. She’s spreading rumors and deceiving the public!"Some radicals voiced their harsh condemnation and the facial expression of the PR department's employee changed. She immediately comforted the public, "Everyone, please calm down. The reason our company is holding this press conference today is to give you an explanation. We’ll definitely give you an answer today. However, there’s a small incident, and Ms. Christian hasn’t arrived yet. I hope all the reporters present can please give us some time, okay?”La Beauté Group had a very high status in the beauty industry. Moreover, the public relations department's statement sounded sincere. Everyone looked at each other and calmed dow
The whole road was congested, with an accident ahead. Although the traffic police were on the scene, the cars moved forward slowly.Seeing how slow the cars were, the initially calm Lily could not help feeling anxious. She looked at the traffic jam and the time. She helplessly said, "Sir, please drop me off by the side over there."Then she turned to Olivia and said, "Don't worry. Stay in the car and go slowly. I'll get out of the car soon and walk another way.""It's dangerous! There are so many cars!" Olivia said worriedly after grabbing Lily."It's fine. I’ll be careful. I’m already late." Lily glanced at the road. If she remembered correctly, a small road nearby could reach the hotel, which may be faster."Then you... be careful!" Olivia was worried, but since Lily insisted, she could say nothing else. Olivia could only give Lily some gentle reminders.When the car stopped by the side, Lily quickly opened the door and got down of the car. She trotted to the side of the road, holdin
After a pause, Alexander looked at the audience and asked, "I noticed many perfumers among the guests who came today. As far as you are concerned, do you think adding poisonous materials to perfumes is feasible? In other words, can it be done?"Nobody expected Alexander to turn the tables on them, that he would question them now.Some wanted to say, "We are here to question you, not for you to question us." However, Alexander was on stage, and no one dared to say that—instead, they just looked at each other, stunned."Is there anyone who can enlighten me?" Alexander continued.His attitude was sincere, and it did not look like he was deliberately making things difficult for them, so some perfumers were eager to answer.The status of La Beauté Group in this industry did not need anyone to comment. Even if such negative news came out, they could stop the spread of the news immediately. It showed the company’s capabilities.Besides their ability and interests, they needed a good developme
Rose noticed Alexander staring at the person who just spoke. She stood anxiously and instinctively took the initiative to start speaking, “Ms. Christian…”As soon as she started, a crisp voice sounded, “Sorry, I’m late, everyone!” Lily was panting heavily, looking a little messy, her hair wet with sweat sticking to her face. She was also wearing casual clothes.The media thought she would attend all dressed up and was startled by what they saw. Some picked up their cameras and took pictures as they returned to their senses.No matter what, the main character finally appeared. The reporters and media did not waste their time. As for why Lily was so messy, everyone wondered if she did not want to come but got forced to show up. Some reporters had already begun to think of the drama in their minds.Alexander turned to look at his wife. She was holding a box in her hand while trying to catch her breath. "Don't worry." He said warmly, took out a handkerchief from his pocket, and gently wipe
Lily performed worse than the previous perfumer and would have been better off saying that she was bragging or joking. Instead, she was admitting it seriously. Did she think she was heroic and majestic by doing so? What was Lily thinking?Looking at Mr. Russell again, he had no intention of stopping her. His eyes were always on that woman as if she was his whole world.‘Crazy! The world was crazy! Mr. Russell is crazy too!’Rose looked at the ceiling speechlessly as she did not know how the press conference would end today. Since they had already reached this point, she might as well continue to listen."Ms. Christian, do you mean that the recording was edited? That means that it’s not what we heard?" The reporters were smart as they quickly concluded the key points."The recording did sound like it was edited. However, Ms. Christian's words were clear and have not been edited," someone objected.Lily was in no hurry despite being faced with all their doubts. She smiled slightly
Immediately, the place was filled with voices of people comparing the two words. After careful consideration and trying with different tones, they did hear it with different meanings.Even the employees of La Beauté Group were curiously repeating the word silently. Only Lily remained calm, standing there quietly. Even if she did not attend all dressed up, she was still so beautiful that people could not take their eyes off her."Even so, what do you mean by poison? If it's not poison, could it be a tonic?"Lily expected she would face doubts, and laughed. "It's not a tonic, but it's almost similar. After all, tonic is good for your body. What I added also has this effect.""Don't keep us guessing. You still admit that you added something to the perfume. Did you put in other additives during the blending process? What exactly did you add?"They were met with boos from the audience. She suppressed a smile and put on a serious expression. Everyone around Lily fell silent as they wond
