Chapter 44

Julian asked, “Have you notified her?”

#

“Everyone in the lab was informed. To avoid omission, I called one by one besides WhatsApp and the work group, but…” After a pause, the staff said, “She didn’t answer the phone.”

“Didn’t get through? Call her! Keep calling her! It matters to the company… How could she be so lazy at such an important moment? If you have her address, bring her here!” Julian said angrily.

“But…” The staff hesitated.

“Hurry up!” Julian growled.

Then he heard a lazy voice behind him. “Oh, I’m so early today! Hey, you’re so early! Ah, you are all so early!”

Julian turned around slowly and saw Emily walk in refreshed, with a big smile on her face and a good mood.

Julian got furious.

“What time is it? You are so late!” He shouted.

Emily looked at him and then raised her wrist to look at her watch. “It’s early. I’m not late!”

“The company informed all the laboratory staff to gather in the laboratory immediately. Where have you been?” Julian gritted his teeth and asked angrily.

“I’m sleeping at home,” Emily said reasonably. “What notice? I didn’t see it! Besides, I don’t read work messages during non-working hours.”

“Who do you think you are? Everyone’s working hard for the company now. What are you doing? Don’t think I won’t do anything to you even though you are a founding member. It seems that Seraphina used to treat you like this…” Julian stopped suddenly.

Seraphina’s name was taboo in the company.

Julian said, “Forget it. Go to the laboratory and check whether there is any difference between the essential oil in the lab and that before. I won’t blame you for being late if you do it well.”

After thinking for a while, Julian thought that Emily was the one most likely to know the answer except Seraphina.

Emily had been working as an assistant with Seraphina. She was the only one who knew everything about preparation, formula, and steps. However, Emily wanted to follow |||

Seraphina now. She probably wanted to change jobs to Aroma Delight.

E Julian thought, ‘Fortunately, Emily is different from Seraphina in that I still have her labor contract in my hand. As long as I refuse to approve it, I could ask her to stay for a while longer!’

“Essential oil? Don’t you have all the formulas, Mr. Brown? What can go wrong with that?” Emily put down her bag and walked inside with a smile. Seeing Vivian turn around to look at her, Emily said, “Besides, Ms. Garcia is here. With her in charge, you don’t need me to help you.”

Vivian was embarrassed by Emily’s sarcasm, so she was angry and said, “Emily! Don’t be so mean!

The company is assessing you now. Is it up to you to tell me what to do? Who do you think you are? Follow the command! Don’t talk nonsense!”

“What am I doing? Am I wrong? Ms. Garcia, you are so capable. How many of the company’s best-

selling products come from you? Do you need us for this little. problem? I’m talking cr ap? It’s okay.

Fire me!” Emily said.

She was fearless anyway. When Julian could not help fire her, she would be free again.

“You…” Vivian was so angry that she was about to lose her temper when Julian stopped her.

“Emily, that’s not what Ms. Garcia meant either. This is indeed the company’s assessment. If you or one of you does a good job and analyzes it first, then the company can give you a promotion and raise it immediately! I will never break my word here!” Julian vowed, “But you only have half a day. During this period, we must have results!”

Hearing about promotion and raising salary, everyone perked up, except for Emily.

Emily was still smiling and rolled up her cuffs lazily. “Mr. Brown is indeed rich! Then we all have to cheer up!”

After saying that, she turned around and sat down.

Julian could hear the sarcasm in her words, but he had to endure it for now, hoping to find out the result as soon as possible.

“Vivian, can’t you find out what is different?” He turned around and asked Vivian in a low voice.

Vivian’s face darkened. “How do I know? About the formula, you know… Let’s go to Seraphina and ask her face-to-face!”
