Chapter 231
Spoiled by Mr. Russell
âCheers!â The atmosphere in the small room was grand, even if only three of them were there. They could hardly contain their excitement.
âNever had I imagined that you could succeed in such a short period. Iâm pleasantly surprised!â Jenny exclaimed.
She had already seen the successful samples this morning. The girls gave her a sample to try yesterday, which smelled amazing. It was indeed a wonderful fragrance! âWeâve told you that the formula was a success. Honestly, this is nothing. Lily could develop a new fragrance and finish it within a month!â Olivia clarified while she ate.
âReally? Within a month! This means you could come up with countless new perfumes in a year!â Just counting the number of products Lily could produce already excited Jenny. Besides, she had seen what Lily was capable of, so she was not worried about the quality at all.
âNow, thatâs not entirely true. Without inspiration and a clear vision, it would take me over three months to develop a good idea. Hopefully, you wonât get mad and fire me!â Lily turned to Jenny and joked.
Jenny laughed loudly. âI wish I had that kind of ability! Remember when you first came to Rebirth...â she paused and looked at Olivia, âYou werenât here yet, so you didnât know about it. When Lily first came to our company, I didnât want her under me, I almost fought with Mr. Will, yet it changed nothing! I was suspicious that she had some sort of connection with someone in the company. I was sure she did!â
Jenny hit the table loudly as she finished speaking Olivia glanced at Lily playfully and thought, âWell, Jennyâs right. Lily does have a connection. An unbelievable one!
Olivia smiled wickedly and urged Jenny to continue, âThen, who was Lilyâs connection?â
Jenny turned to look at Lily this time and pouted. âTurns out she didnât have any connections at all! I had no choice since I couldnât make her leave the company, so I devised problems for her to solve. I thought she wouldnât be able to survive and would leave! Still, she proved me wrong.
âI knew then that her skills would keep her in the company regardless of her connections! Sheâs a talented perfumer. Honestly, Iâm not worried that youâd leave our company. I believe that youâll someday be a legend in this industry!â Jenny confessed. This was such high praise, and Lily thanked her calmly, âYouâre too kind!â âIâm serious! Donât forget to help us out when youâve achieved that status. Donât forget us!â Jenny said while downing another glass. She had been drinking quite a bit and was even stuttering slightly.
âJenny, I think youâre drunk!â Olivia said while holding onto her.
âDrunk? No, Iâm not! Donât you know that Iâm a heavy drinker? This amount of alcohol is nothing! When Iâm on a business trip, Iâd have to...â Jenny stopped abruptly as her hands immediately covered her mouth. She was feeling nauseous. âJenny, are you okay? Why donât we leave now?â Looking at her condition, Olivia concluded it was time for them to leave. âLeave? Itâs still too early! Besides, this is a rare opportunity for us to sit and chat!â Jenny patted Lily on the back of her hand and turned to Olivia to do the same.
She pulled them closer, âI like the two of you. Everyone in the office is afraid of me. To them, Iâm just a monster that gives then lots of work and stress. However, itâs not my intention. To survive in this industry, you have to be tough. Competition is fierce, and youâll only get eliminated if you canât survive that!â
