Chapter 325

Back at the hotel, Giselle —file and pen in hand—was waiting for Lily and looked very much like she was about to attend a meeting.

Out of guilt for having dinner alone and not bringing anything back for Giselle, Lily willingly opened the door and let her in.

"Hi, Giselle.Have you had dinner? Should I order you room service?"

Sharing a meal always eased the atmosphere of a room.Unfortunately, Giselle rejected Lily’s offer.

"Thank you, but I’m fine.I’ve already eaten.Let’s just get straight into it."

Lily poured herself a glass of water and took a big gulp.

"Okay, go right ahead.What do you think we should do?"

Lily knew that her assistant had plans of her own she wanted to propose.

Giselle had locked herself in the room the whole afternoon after returning, and then she came to look for Lily in a hurry, so it was apparent she had a new idea to share.

"I’ve discussed it with the company, and we concluded that you should participate in tomorrow's sampling event."

Giselle raised her head and stared at Lily with a severe glint, ready to persuade her if needed.

Lily simply nodded in agreement.

"Okay, sure."

"That’s it? Y-You actually agree?"

Giselle looked at Lily in pure bewilderment.иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σмShe could not believe her ears.

"Yeah? Why wouldn’t I?" Lily asked.

"So, does this mean you’re confident in your abilities?" Giselle asked cautiously.

"If I weren’t, the company wouldn’t have sent me.Besides, I’m interested in checking out what the other perfumers are capable of,"

Lily clarified as she held onto her glass.Giselle wanted to facepalm herself.

The company had sent Lily here with expectations that she would at least advertise the company or win something for them.Yet, Lily acted as if she was here to test her abilities while not caring about the competition results.

"Yyou’re here to represent the company, so you must try your best to win something." Giselle almost uttered "first place,"but that was highly unlikely on second thought. So, she refrained from saying it.

"I'll do my best, but I can’t control the results," Lily said.

Giselle was slightly annoyed.

‘How are you doing your best when you were out till so late?’ However, she did not dare voice her disagreement.

"All right.Due to your relationship with Mr.Parker, others might criticize and slander you regardless of your competition results.The company has prepared a series of PR notices to deal with this, so please don’t be upset or worried when you see certain discussions online." Lily shook her head in disagreement.

"There’s no need for that.The more we try to explain, the worse it'll become.Moreover, even if the company could deal with this issue, where would it start? In Sapphine or abroad? They shouldn't be wasting money, workforce, or time to deal with this.Instead, they should focus their funds on research."

Giselle was quite taken aback by Lily’s stubbornness.

The company was trying to help her, yet Lily was being unappreciative.

Giselle closed her planner and concluded, "Okay.Since we’ve come to an understanding, I wish you luck in tomorrow’s competition Ms.Christian.I'll take my leave now.Please rest well."

Lily could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

As Giselle walked toward the door, she turned and reminded Lily, "By the way, this city may look beautiful and lively, but it's security is nothing like Sapphine.It’s best not to go out alone.If you need to, please inform me so I can go with you.Making sure that you’re safe is also part of my job."

"Okay," Lily replied with a raised eyebrow.

Apart from the constant nagging, Giselle was responsible and kind, as she was always thinking of ways to help Lily.
