Eloise held her daughter’s hand and wanted to say something when she heard a car approaching from outside. Her face sank. "Your father is back."It did not take long for her words to fall as Joseph entered the house with a bag in his hand. He was stunned when he saw Eloise and Arianna sitting in the living room. "Ari, you’re home too," he said, walking straight over. "Perfect. I have one for each of you.""What is it?" Arianna smiled, stood up, and took the bag from his hand. She opened it and glanced inside. "Wow, perfume!"Seeing her surprised expression, Joseph smiled. "This is the first-ever perfume from our company, and we’ve sold out of them! I bought two bottles directly from the factory for you two to try."His smug look annoyed Eloise. She knew Joseph was only happy that the product came from that little brat, not because it was the company’s first-ever perfume. She felt unhappy inside and could not return a joyful expression to Joseph. Her gaze was indifferent as if the m
Joseph was preparing to make a latte when he entered his home office. His espresso machine was grinding the beans, making a whirring sound."Ari, I haven't seen you much in the company recently?" He asked while casually adding milk to the jug.She smiled. "Well, you wouldn’t come and find me often anyways. I’m usually in the office. What's wrong?"Maybe it was a little embarrassing initially, but Joseph stopped adding milk and coughed lightly, "I-It’s nothing. I was just asking. Maybe the company has been too busy recently, so I wasn’t aware. By the way, what do you think of Damian's project?" While frothing his milk, he raised his head to look at her."I’m all in to support him! You can see that I even purposely bought one to show my support." Arianna said with a smile, and her face was full of sincerity.Joseph shook his head and said, "That’s not what I meant. I mean, what do you think of his performance?""Good! He’s doing great! I initially wanted to give Damian some advice,
He was never willing to recruit a son-in-law. He always thought it was like handing over a piece of the family business to an outsider, so he set high expectations for Damian instead, hoping he would succeed and inherit the company."Hey, if I can help, I will. Damian is strong, though, so you should also consider his self-esteem. He'll think I'm protecting him more, and it's easy to take that to heart.Joseph thought about it, then sighed and responded, "Never mind. In any case, the outcome is all but certain. Praise Damian in front of the shareholders in the upcoming management meeting. I’ll have another piece of news to announce on that day too.""What news?" Arianna asked curiously, frowning."You'll know when the time comes. This is something about which I'm still not entirely certain, and I need to be sure before I play my cards. You can go now," he waved absentmindedly.Joseph’s unfinished words aroused Arianna’s intense curiosity. At the same time, she also knew that if he
"What happened to Benedict?" She frowned, but she was very concerned about this, "Didn't you say he disappeared? Has there been any news?"Although she did not take Benedict seriously, he was still a direct descendant of her uncle. There was still recognition of him among upper management. Besides, he stayed in the company until he rebelled and left, and he also helped Derrick handle the company's affairs for some time.Arianna probably would not have had any chance if it weren't for him insisting on working on wood carvings instead of running the business.She, therefore, felt a little uneasy when she learned that there could be updates regarding him."Well," Eloise said, her face dignified, nodding slightly, "I heard Benedict passed away.""Passed away?" The news was so shocking that Arianna was speechless for a while before asking her mother, "Mom, is it true?""Eighty percent," After thinking about it, Eloise continued, “Your father isn’t very sure, so he hasn’t said anything
"The initial idea is that each has its own characteristics, but they can all be related to the same theme. After all, they're all in the same place, which is what gives them their individual traits.” "Then what is the theme of your show?" Lily asked again. "The clothing is CL's latest style, and the theme is about “spring,” with green as their color palette. That's about it." The two chatted, and Lily slowly came up with ideas. She was no longer as clueless as before and asked a few more questions. Finally, she said, "There’s one last question. Even if your dad couldn’t make time for it, I believe you must know a lot of other perfumers, many of whom are better than I am. Why did you have to travel all this way to find me?" Without waiting for Lisa to speak, she added, "Don't say anything else. As far as I’m concerned, if this is simply for the fragrance, I don't think I'm so special that you have to travel so far." Lisa almost choked on her words. She stu
Lisa’s attitude stunned Noah. He felt she was hostile toward him for some reason, even though he had never done anything to offend her. After some thought, he peeked over and looked in. Then he saw Lily, who was also looking over.Their eyes met, so Noah smiled and said, "I’m looking for her." He walked past Lisa and went straight toward Lily’s direction.Lisa was shocked and quickly turned around to chase after him."You seem so laid back.” Noah looked around the studio and smiled again. "Have you completed the paperwork and licenses yet?""You don’t need to worry about that." Lily stood up and had a terrible attitude toward him."It’s part of my job to be concerned. All the perfumers in the country are under the Perfumers’ Society’s control. You don't have a license to practice, but you are still involved in this industry. It’s illegal to create so many perfumes for sale on the market. So tell me, how can I ignore this?"He looked around casually as he spoke and noticed many he
When the Perfumers’ Society invited Lily to join them, they did not mention checking for the certificate. However, they held it against her this time.She could guarantee that many small perfumers in Hyderland did not have this certificate and were still performing well. It was one thing to have the certificate or not, and another if anyone would check on the status.Lily was about to speak when Lisa interrupted, "That’s ridiculous! Being a qualified perfumer is about talent and hard work. What does anything have to do with the certificate? Does it mean one can only be a perfumer with the certificate?”"Sorry, this is a matter between Lily and me. You shouldn't interrupt." Noah came today to negotiate with Lily. If she changed her mind and was willing to join the Perfumers’ Society, they could resolve the certificate issue. However, if she disagreed...Since Lily was in this industry, she should abide by the rules set by the Perfumers’ Society."Lily is my friend, and her business
“You’re just jealous!” Lisa ignored Noah’s explanation. “I think you’re all just a bunch of losers from Hyderland. The only one that’s genuinely talented and capable is Lily!”“Lisa.” Lily thought this was just plain arrogance. There were still some talented perfumers from Hyderland, and Lisa had just offended all of them with what she had just said. “Lily! I’m just saying what’s on my mind,” Lisa pulled Lily’s sleeve and remarked.It resulted in Noah smirking coldly. “I can assure you, Lily is not the only talented perfumer from Hyderland. Miss Parker, I’m sure your father would disagree with you!” Noah would have already taught Lisa a lesson if it were not for her father.“It’s pointless to argue over here. Noah, it’s true that I don’t own the license you’re referring to, and I won’t even try to get it,” Lily stood tall and continued, “Studying perfumes and making them was merely a hobby of mine. I’m willing to do it, and no one can stop me.“It isn’t up to you to tell me wheth
