Chapter 298
Spoiled by Mr. Russell
Frank mocked her, but Melanie ignored it and got straight to the point.
"Iâm here with a business proposal."
"A business proposal? You?"
Frank snickered, unconvinced.
"If I remember correctly, you donât have enough money to talk business with me.Besides, what kind of deal could you offer? You havenât even been able to fulfill your last promise."
He was losing patience with her.
If this were the old Melanie, she would have lowered her voice and tried to coax him or even begged him.
This time, though, she was already over her head, so there was nothing to lose.
Melanie replied, "You didn't keep your word, either.
You promised to help me enter this yearâs perfume championship and win the trophy.
However, the formula you gave me had several flaws!"
"I've already settled that for you, havenât I? What more do you want?" Frank questioned her heatedly.
"Right, you settled that, but youâve also ruined me! Now that Nathaniel knows about us, he doesn't want me anymore.Heâs even kicked me out of MN Inc.! How can I enter the championship now? How am I supposed to build a career in the perfume industry? This was all your fault!"
She accused Frank furiously.
Frank smiled calmly in the face of her wrath.
"Mel, how could you say that? What we did was consensual, no? Speaking of my promise, didnât I already give you the formula? Using that formula, youâre qualified for the championship.Besides, Iâve heard that MN Inc.had already handed in their registration form, which was approved.We only need to wait for the judges to evaluate.If Nathaniel won't use your name for this, thatâs his problem.You should look for him, not me."
"Donât worry.Iâll settle things with Nate once and for all.However, Iâve done so much for you.Shouldnât you at least give me something in return?" Melanie said.
Frank looked at her with a smirk, "What do you want from me?"
"I heard thereâs a huge perfume sampling event next week in Westwood.I want you to take me there."
She had heard that this sampling event would invite guests from large corporations and famous perfumers.
Lily would also be there as Rebirthâs representative.
Although this event was not as big as the annual perfume championship, it still held a special status in the industry.It was also a more exclusive event because of the strict requirements for participation.
Melanie was green with jealousy! Why did everything good befall Lily? How was it that Melanie had nothing while Lily had everything? She would not accept this nor allow it! Frank laughed uncontrollably, scattering cigarette ashes everywhere.
"Mel, are you sober? Do you know the type of people that would attend this event? Do you think you could get it with your status and capabilities?"
He sneered, "Honestly, it isnât just you.The number of perfumers qualified to join the event from this country is unbelievably low."
"I know that! Youâre qualified, though, so take me with you!"
Melanie raised her head and looked straight at him.
Frank was well-known in the industry.She was not exactly sure what status he held abroad, but she was pretty sure he was still qualified to attend this event.
He lifted his hand and put out his cigarette, "You're right.Iâm qualified, and I've also received their invitation.Why should I bring you along? Give me one good reason."
"I know Lily will attend,"
Melanie paused, "Itâs difficult to lay a finger on her within these borders, but itâs a different story abroad.I could help you seek revenge and ensure she wonât get away!"
Frank glanced at her as he calculated whether the deal was worth it.It was indeed a tempting offer to him.
After a while, he decided, "Deal!"
