Chapter 100

“Sorry, I overslept, Seraphina apologized. She looked at Emily and said, “It seems that you already know each other without my introduction.”

“No need. From now on, we are coworkers, Mia said with a smile, putting one hand on Emily’s shoulder.

“Mia, your attitude towards Emily is so different. You were not so friendly to me when I joined the company at that time.” Seraphina shook her head and felt aggrieved.

“That’s different. I thought you pulled strings to get the job. But now you introduced Emily to work here.

I agreed,” she said half-jokingly, patting Emily on the shoulder.

“This is such a double standard!” Seraphina sighed. “Well, now that you’re here, let’s get to work. I’m shorthanded. I want to make the new perfume as soon as possible.”

“Okay, I’ll let you get back to work. Emily, you can go to the HR department later to sign the employment contract, OK?” Mia said.

Emily nodded and replied, “No problem.”

She could sign the employment contract at any time. The most important thing was that it made her happy to work with Seraphina.

“It’s nice here!” Emily exclaimed, entering the lab and looking around. “It’s better equipped than your previous lap. Wow, it even has these things.”

Seraphina spoke as she changed into her work clothes, “Aroma Delight is not large in scale, but its labs are well-equipped because Apex Corporation is its backer. In addition, Ms. Lawson also said that if we need any more equipment during our work, we can report it to her.”

“Large companies are indeed good! You did the right thing to work here!” Emily said. She followed Seraphina to change into work clothes, wash her hands, and get ready for work.

Seraphina assumed Emily had successfully quit her job when she saw she was so relaxed. “By the way, did Julian make things difficult for you when asked, still worried.

you quit?” Seraphina “I didn’t see him when I quit my job,” Emily replied, waving her hand. “Anyway, the time is up for me to leave automatically according to the labor law. He can’t stop me. Moreover, I moved,” Emily said, approaching Seraphina. She was extremely pleasant when she said the last sentence.

“You moved?” Seraphina asked, surprised.

“Yes!” She nodded and continued, “I’ve thought about it. Even though I can convince my mother, I’m afraid she will waver if Julian comes to visit us again and again. My mom is an amenable person who can easily change her mind. Anyway, I’ll be working here. So I decided to move to an apartment nearby. It killed two birds with one stone.

“Is it easy for you to find an apartment nearby all of a sudden? Would you like me to keep an eye on it for you?” Seraphina asked.

Looking for an apartment was a tiring job. She felt sorry for Emily. After all, she was the one who had a beef with Julian, but Emily got involved.

“No need. I decided to move long before, so I’ve been paying attention to vacant apartments for a long time. When I decided to move, I called the agency. Fortunately, the apartment remains unoccupied. So I moved in. Am I efficient?” she said, raising her eyebrows proudly.

“That’s great!” Seraphina nodded and went to work. She told Emily carefully about her general ideas and the necessary raw materials that Emily should prepare.

After all, they were old partners. Emily listened carefully and took notes. They did their part, so the experiment went very well.

When a new product was launched, many various samples were made at the same time for observation and data recording. After all, even minor differences might have a significant impact on the end outcome.

It was getting dark soon. Seraphina stretched her sore shoulders and walked out of the lab. She saw Emily walk into the lounge with two mugs of freshly brewed coffee. “Take a rest,” she said.

Seraphina nodded. They sat down on the sofa.

Seeing Seraphina stretch her neck and shoulders, Emily asked with concern, “Are you tired? Let me massage your neck and shoulders for you.”

When Emily worked at Prosperian Company, she would occasionally massage Seraphina’s shoulders for her. It had been a long time.

Seraphina didn’t refuse. She turned around slightly and pushed her hair away from her slender neck.

Emily pinched her shoulders with both hands and gently relaxed her sore muscles. Soon, she felt much better.

“It’s so good to have you here. I’ve got my hands full these days. I feel much relieved when you’re here,” Seraphina said, looking up and closing her eyes. She was a little sleepy.

The development of a new product would take a lot of time. After all, it required frequent experiments. Now that Emily could share her work duties, she wouldn’t get too busy or tired.

“So, should you offer me a pay raise?” Emily asked jokingly, tilting her head.

“Come on, you can’t ask for a pay raise on your first day of work. You will scare the boss away!”

Seraphina replied disapprovingly, shaking her head.

“Employees who don’t ask for a pay raise are not good employees,” Emily replied with a smile. All of a sudden, she stopped massaging when her eyes fixed on Seraphina’s neck.

Sensing Emily stopped massaging her, Seraphina opened her eyes and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“Seraphina, you…” Emily hesitated, her eyes fixed on somewhere.

Seraphina lowered her head curiously, not seeing anything wrong with herself. What Emily saw was…

Emily patted her neck and showed her the position.

Seraphina patted her neck as well and suddenly remembered something.

She wore a high-necked shirt to cover her hic keys but later changed into her work clothes, which couldn’t.

Seraphina didn’t notice it when she was busy working all the time. Now Emily massaged her neck, and her hair was pulled away to expose her neck. The hic keys on her neck were exposed.

“Well…” Seraphina was a little embarrassed, but they were all adults. There was no need to hide it.

She smiled at Emily and said, “You know that.”

Her reaction made Emily burst out laughing. “Yes, I know! But with whom?”

Seraphina had already broken up with Julian. Of course, it couldn’t be him. She didn’t appear to notice Seraphina getting too close to another man.

To be exact, Julian was the only man in her life with a name throughout these years. She lived her life merely between work and home every day. The times she went shopping were numbered.

She wondered if Seraphina had got a new boyfriend and who it was. Why hadn’t she thought of any man?

After thinking for a while, Emily asked again, “Do I know him?”

It was a waste of time for her to rack her brains if she didn’t know him.

She believed that was the simplest question, but Seraphina found it difficult to answer.

“K-Kind of, Seraphina replied.

Given Dashiell’s reputation and social status, there should not be many people who didn’t know who he was, particularly in Sunville. Even so, she didn’t think Emily had any dealings with him.
