“What do you mean by that? What’s his name? Let me see if I know the guy.”“You’ll find out soon enough!” Lily raised her hand and patted Olivia’s shoulder. Lily stood up and changed the topic, “Liv, it might be more challenging to create this new product, and work would be tougher, too.”“You make it sound like our work was easy back then. Don’t worry about it. Just lead the project and leave the preparations to me.” Olivia smiled.“I knew you’re the best assistant I could ever ask for!”When they returned to the lab, Lily first checked the extracted samples. They were, as expected, nothing like what she wanted.It was essential to use high-quality components, but the extraction and purification techniques necessary to achieve the desired scent were also crucial. The complicated procedure had to be carried out repeatedly before it could be considered a success.The launch of a new perfume in the market involved many hours of hard work by the perfumers. Those who would steal th

Nothing was set in stone, after all, and one must be smart enough to think outside the box and find other ways to deal with life.‘I should stop playing defensively and strike back whenever someone provokes me. It’s about time I retaliate and show those two I’m not someone to be trifled with.’When Alexander arrived home, the sight of Lily lying on her stomach on the couch welcomed him. Her laptop was in front of her as her fingers gracefully typed away on her keyboard. Lily crossed her calves mid-air while focusing all her attention on the screen.It was rare to see Lily working on her laptop at home in such a position. Alexander put down his things and changed into his house slippers before peeking over to see what Lily was doing. She had several tabs on her screen, registering for a troll account on a certain website.“What’s up?” Alexander went to pour himself a glass of water and brought one for Lily as well.Lily adjusted her posture and sat cross-legged with her laptop on h

"Lily, are you out of your mind? You're acting like a dog with rabies! What do you think you're doing?" Nathaniel started shouting from the other end as soon as Lily picked up the call. Fortunately, Lily had expected him to act that way, so she ensured the phone was away from her ears. Lily was not angry at all at the face of his insults. She smirked and replied coldly, "Mr. Hall, a dog with rabies bites anyone in its path. However, unlike you, I know exactly who I’m going after, so I’ll only attack you!" "You…" Nathaniel inhaled deeply. He would have torn her to pieces if Lily had been in front of him. "Lily Christian, I know what you want. I’ve ensured Olivia Hart won't be your lap dog anymore, so you're coming at me for revenge." "Finally, we've come to an understanding. By the way, you shouldn't insult dogs. They're intelligent and loyal creatures, much better than you could ever be," she added in a frigid tone. She did not care if Nathaniel insulted her, but

Nathaniel hung up the phone and took a cigarette break before entering the house. Inside, Melanie was sitting on the sofa, peeling an orange. Before putting it into her mouth, she ensured the orange was free of all piths. "Something wrong?" Melanie asked as she noticed he had a pained expression. She cleaned up the mess on the table, wiped her hands, and sat up. Nathaniel shook his head, indicating that he rather not talk about it. "Even if you don't tell me, I could guess. I heard a thing or two when you were on the phone. Lily was the one who leaked the information about our perfume, right?" Melanie was good at reading people as if she was filled with wisdom. Since Melanie had overheard his conversation with Lily, he decided not to keep it from her anymore. He heaved a heavy sigh, walked to the fridge to get a can of beer, and downed it. "Why are you so angry when she's the one who leaked the information? She's just asking for trouble. If that’s what she wants,

It turned out Nathaniel had good crisis management skills since he knew how to use this issue to his advantage. After briefly reading MN Inc.’s announcement, Lily was sure her PR stunt had inadvertently earned MN Inc. good press with the public.Although some questioned MN Inc.’s motives and if the formulas were authentic, they speculated the reason for this stunt was that something big was coming up. These internet discussions were indirectly giving MN Inc. more publicity.“What do you think MN Inc. is trying to achieve? Isn’t this suicidal? Why would they expose their perfume formulas to the public? Unless they’re planning to stop their old production line?” Jenny placed one hand under her chin and spoke her mind.Jenny’s words brought attention to the fact that MN Inc. had decided to abandon its old perfume lines while trying to improve its branding image. However, it was something they got forced to do since Lily released their formulas. Still, Jenny and Lily wondered if MN Inc.
