Arianna nodded. "Of course!"Just like that, the meeting ended.Damian never expected the highlight of his life to end like this. Not only was he pained, but he also did not know what to do next. "Arianna Tanner, what are you trying to do here?!" He could not hold himself back and rushed to grab her arm."Mr. Damian, what are you doing?" Arianna did not bother to break free from his grip. Instead, she frowned and looked at him. "You're hurting me."Turning a deaf ear to her words, Damian became more aggressive. "Is this part of your plan?! You're trying to frame me, aren't you?! Why did you suggest inspecting our perfume?! Are you trying to say there's something wrong with my perfume?!"His voice boomed. Since there were still people around the lounge area, it attracted many people’s attention as they gathered around. However, the duo was their two bosses, so no one dared to speak up. Everyone just stood and watched quietly."Mr. Damian, I need you to calm down. We should all wor
Although Damian was reluctant, he had to admit Arianna was more experienced than him in dealing with crises.When the elevator door opened, Nathaniel was standing there. The three of them exchanged looks, and just as Damian was about to speak, he heard Arianna say, "Come with me!"She called Nathaniel into her office and closed the door. However, as Arianna did not draw the curtains, everyone could see that she was talking with a solemn expression, presumably about the perfume crisis.Damian continued to pace around outside. His mind was in chaos. After much deliberation, he still thought that woman was the root of all these problems. He even wondered if Naomi had taken money from someone else and tried to frame him.After thinking about this a bit more, he stomped away.Although Arianna seemed occupied talking to Nathaniel in her office, she fixed her eyes on Damian, who was outside. When she saw him leave in a hurry, she dropped the act and signaled with her eyes that Damian had
Lily brought some fruits and a thermos of hot porridge to the hospital for Olivia's visit.After she had resigned and worked with Lily at the studio, Olivia had not been eating properly. When Lily got the call informing her that Olivia was in the hospital, she was shocked.Lily was relieved to learn from Edward that it was only a minor stomach ulcer, and she quickly brought some porridge and fruit over early in the morning."Where is the person who’d always make me eat? You're something else. How could you forget to eat?!" Lily kept muttering as she poured the porridge into a small bowl."Your stomach is very sensitive now, and you should only eat food that is easy to digest. Now, no matter how much you crave them, you can't eat all that delicious food you like anymore."Then she sat on the edge of the bed and blew on the spoon as she glanced at Olivia, who was still laughing. Lily genuinely did not know what to do with this woman. "How dare you laugh still?""What a privilege to
“That's none of our business," Lily said before closing the door. Then she sat back down and continued feeding Olivia the porridge.This industry was chaotic. The reporters weren't there for any of them, so it was best not to poke their noses into it.After eating two bowls of porridge, taking a break, and munching on a banana, Olivia thought she heard footsteps outside. She guessed that the reporters must have left and felt more at ease."You should rest well these couple of days. There's nothing much in the studio right now, so you don't have to worry. Once you're out, you can continue to rest at home if you like," Lily said."Don't you have a new series of themes to come up with? Can you do it on your own?"Olivia knew of Lisa's request, so she was eager to ensure everything was going well. After all, this was the first big project that the studio had, and it was a big stepping stone for them."I have yet to decide on a theme, but I have a rough idea. Give me time to think abo
"Lily, what's going on?" Olivia tilted her head and asked. She observed Lily getting up to close the door, but she didn't return for quite some time, and then, it was only partially closed."Shush!" Lily gestured. "I'm watching a show." Olivia was speechless! Wasn't Lily the one who said not to meddle in other people's business? Olivia did not know why Lily was interested until, amidst the yelling, Lily suddenly remembered who that man was.That man that barged in was Joseph Tanner's illegitimate son, Damian.The fact that Lily had heard of him was also purely coincidental. Jenny had told her at the time that Nathaniel had taken a job with Tanner Corporation and proposed that they go into the perfume business. He even opened up a new department to develop perfume, with him being the person in charge. Lily had no idea when he became the project manager of Tanner Corporation or how he became involved with them. However, Jenny warned Lily that their complicated relationship could l
“So, Mr. Tanner, you seem to prioritize your company's loss over Ms. Schiffer's well-being, am I right?" Another reporter immediately stepped in and questioned.Damian was no fool and immediately picked up on the trick question. "Of course, I care about Ms. Schiffer, but before there’s any conclusive evidence, it's wrong for her to say something is wrong with our perfume. We consider it slander and have the right to pursue it!""The hospital has already issued a test report confirming that your company's perfume triggered Ms. Schiffer's allergic reaction. There is no doubt about that. Why are you still trying to argue? What other evidence do you need?""Mr. Tanner, did you come here to pressure Ms. Schiffer into changing her statement?""Are you here to suppress this matter because your company cannot prove its innocence?""If it triggered Ms. Schiffer's allergic reaction, other consumers must also be experiencing it. What's more, my sources say your perfume contains prohibited in
After that, the reporters left. They had everything they needed and more. Now, they just had to go back and edit the clips in preparation for their new posts. The story this time was sensational, and it was as big a deal as Lily's poisonous perfume or even more prominent.In Lily's case, it was just an audio recording, and there was no solid proof. In addition, La Beauté Group had a solid background with an excellent public relations team. Although the news story did not take long to spread, the PR team quickly suppressed it.Then once the press conference concluded, it gave them a clean slate and put the company in a positive light. Immediately after, some said La Beauté Group's perfumes are good for one's health and could even cure diseases. They were miracle products.Later, what was even more interesting was that Lily resigned from La Beauté Group. Everyone assumed she was going to lay back and enjoy being a trophy wife, but she later revealed she had opened her own studio and w
Upon reaching home, Joseph looked for his daughter straight away. “Where’s Ari? Hasn’t she come back yet?”He appeared anxious. At this moment, Eloise sat in the living room, sipping tea and watching TV. She replied unhurriedly, “Isn’t she at the company? Why are you back so early today?”“It’s urgent!” Joseph yelled anxiously. “Why hasn’t Ari come home yet? I left the company when I saw her leaving. Why hasn’t she arrived home yet? Did something happen to her on her way home?”Eloise glanced at him in surprise and said, “Hey, you’re a weird one. Since you watched her leave, why didn’t you call out to her? You could’ve talked to her at the company, but why did you have to wait till you got home?”Joseph was in a foul mood and rebuked, “You know nothing! There are so many people at the company, and there are some things that we can’t discuss there. I was thinking of talking to her at home, but why isn’t she back yet?”He took out his phone to make a call as he spoke. When he heard
