Chapter 84

“Well, I’m afraid we can’t sell them to you.” William refused. “You know it’s not easy to breed this species. We have spent a lot of effort on it. Besides, we only have a few so they are not for mass production so…”

“I don’t need a lot of them. I only want half of what you have here.” Looking around, Seraphina said, “Give me half of what you have. I will pay for the other half. But I won’t take it away right now. I will leave it here with you. Take good care of it and do not sell it to anyone else.”

William looked like he was in a dilemma and refused again. “Sorry, but we can’t do that.”

Mia said, “Just tell me the price.” Seeing that Seraphina insisted on it, she thought it must be useful.

Moreover, it was true that grafted red sandalwood trees were rarely seen. It would be very useful if they could buy them out though the price must be very high.

William said, “It’s not about money. We have put so much effort into it and it is not the final product. We are still trying…

“Try whatever you like. I’ll pay for all the them. I’ll leave half of them here and you can try anything boldly. I won’t hold you accountable.”

The offer was indeed tempting and William hesitated as expected. He said, “We need to discuss it.

It was not something that William could decide alone. Mia also hesitated. Seraphina’s offer was unprecedented. It was hard to estimate the price of these red sandalwood trees because they were so rare. And Seraphina made such an offer even before they negotiated the price. It would only make the other party keep raising the price, which was a disadvantage to them.

After William turned around to make a phone call, Mia gently tugged at Seraphina’s sleeve. “Seraphina, do you want to think twice about it? Do we need so many? Besides, we haven’t tried it yet. You don’t know what the final product will be like. Even if it succeeds and the result is satisfactory, the price of this raw material will be very high. How should we decide the product price? How many people can afford it?”

In fact, Mia had a point. After all, from the perspective of the company, no matter how free the perfumers’ ideas were, the essential oil and perfumes finally developed should serve the interests of the company.

Seraphina said confidently, “Someone will pay for it.

Mia said, “Even if there are a few who appreciate it, it will not be the majority. We have to use the brand of Aroma Delight. Aroma Delight isn’t famous in this circle at least it’s not a luxury brand.”

In fact, there were few brands at home that be considered luxury brands in this industry. Most people still thought those famous foreign brands were much better.

Therefore, Mia’s concerns were reasonable.

“It’s exactly because we don’t have them at home that we should create our own!” Seraphina said, “If we fail, the money for purchasing the raw materials will be deducted from my salary until it is paid off.”

Mia said, “Seraphina, don’t you think you’re too impulsive…”

Mia never expected Seraphina would be insistent. Mia was surprised and wanted to keep persuading her. William had already finished the phone call. He said, “Well, since you insist on it, it’s a deal. Ad for the price…”

Seraphina said, “Price is the easiest part.”

Seeing Seraphina’s sincere attitude, William smiled. “Don’t worry, we can feel your sincerity and we will not rip you off. But we already cost a lot cultivating these red sandalwood trees so it won’t be cheap.

The profit is not a lot considering the cost and labor.

William took out a pen and a piece of paper, wrote down the price, and handed the paper to Mia and Seraphina. “Are you okay with it?”

Mia glanced at it and saw a 5-digit number. Her expression instantly changed drastically. “It’s so…”

Seraphina nodded and made the decision. “Okay.”

Mia said, “Seraphina, I think we should reconsider it.’ As her leader, Mia thought it was necessary to warn her. However, Seraphina was confident and even willing to gamble with her own salary, which made it difficult for Mia to refuse her.

Seraphina said, “If you really don’t think it’s wise. I can buy it personally with my own money.”

Although Seraphina didn’t have so much money, she could borrow some from others.

Mia said, “Well, okay.” Since Seraphina so, Mia didn’t know how to persuade her anymore. She turned to William and said, “Make sure what you give us is the best. Don’t try to fool us with shoddy ones.”

William replied, “Don’t worry. We won’t do that. Even if we want to do that, we don’t have shoddy ones.”

After all, these trees were too special. Even if they wanted to do that, they had to breed them first.

Mia said, “That would be great.”

After signing the contract and paying the deposit, Mia left the base. When they got into the car at the gate, they saw a car of the same model but a different color parked beside them. They glanced at it when opening the door to get into the car, they saw Vivian walking out of the base with Mike.

Mia had already gotten into the car. She said to Seraphina, “Get into the car and close the door. The devil is coming.”

Seraphina felt speechless.

Seraphina didn’t know that Mia was so humorous.

Of course, Vivian also saw Seraphina. When Vivian caught a glimpse of the Jeep Wrangler, the resentment in her eyes almost turned into a knife throwing at Seraphina.

However, the driver started the car quickly and drove out of the parking lot immediately. There was no face-to-face confrontation. Mia looked back and saw Vivian staring at their car with great resentment.

Mia smiled and shook her head. “Seraphina, did she steal your boyfriend or did you steal hers? Why do I think you not only stole her boyfriend but also killed her whole family and dug up her ancestor’s grave?”

Seraphina said, “I’m not that boring or cruel.”

Mia laughed, “I know. But she is acting like that. Why does she hate you so much? Every time she sees you, her eyes pop out.”

Of course, Mia was joking. She just found it very difficult to understand Vivian’s emotions.

Seraphina shook her head and she didn’t know the reasons either.

To be precise, if Seraphina hadn’t discovered Julian’s affair, she would have never found out Vivian hated her so much.

Seraphina was not very close to Vivian. However, during college, she only frequently contacted Julian and Vivian. She didn’t like socializing after all.

Julian said that the company needed Vivian, a talent who knew a lot about public relations and Research and development. He needed a reassuring female companion when attending events. Seraphina never thought too much about it and she never did anything bad to Vivian, so it was really puzzling for Seraphina why Vivian hated her so much.
