Spoiled by Mr. Russell
After recovering from her shock, Lily laughed, âMr. Adler, please donât joke with me. According to my understanding, Iâm still too inexperienced to join the Perfumersâ Society.â Lawrence shook his head gently and explained, âWe canât use our oldâfashioned views to look at society now. Society has changed, and talented young people can are everywhere. One can always accumulate experiences as one ages.
âHowever, youâre already talented, so why would you go through all that? Isnât that unnecessary?
Thereâs no point in joining the society when youâre as old as me. What can people of my age do?â He concluded while waving one of his palms in the air.
The man standing next to him had a pained expression. âMr. Adler, what does that us if you consider yourself too old? Youâre still in your prime, and we can only look up to you say about and admire your work. How can we, as juniors, compare to your achievements.â
âThatâs right!â
âYeah!â
Others around Lawrence agreed by adding, âMr. Adler, your talent is hard to come by. You are one in a million, and I dare say that no one can match your talent, at least not in a hundred. years.â
Lily was astonished by these perfumers from the Perfumersâ Society. She never expected them to speak this way. It was true that Lawrenceâs talents were hard to come by and that he was the countryâs top perfumer, but to claim that there was not anyone like him, at least not within a hundred years, was too much.
How would they know that no younger perfumers were more talented? Besides, they had not even seen other perfumers from abroad. Some may not be as popular in terms of reputation because they were more focused on producing better perfumes and not their popularity.
Take Wesley, for example. He was a very wellâknown perfumer in his own country as well. How could Lawrence be so sure he was better than all of them?
Unfortunately, this was what the Perfumersâ Society was like. Whenever someone complimented Lawrence, the rest would follow suit. It was as if they were all his lackeys.
Lily could not make herself say something so fake, so she remained silent. She genuinely wondered what his intentions were in coming to look for her. She had only intended to stay for a while before leaving to look for Alexander. She wanted to call him, and if he was available, she wanted to return to Sapphine City together.
However, she did not expect such a commotion to stop her, and from how Lawrence spoke, it looked like he had no intentions of letting her leave.
âSo, how about it?â Lawrence asked as he shifted his focus back to her. He lifted his head and looked her in the eye. âIs my invitation not enough? Are you going to reject my offer as well?â
Lawrence might have sounded friendly on the surface, but he did not give Lily a choice from way he had asked her. Since he had personally sent out the invitation, the society members would only view Lily as insolent if she chose to turn down his offer.
the After pondering for a short while, she smiled apologetically at Lawrence and took a few steps back. Then she lowered her head and said, âI sincerely thank you for giving me such an opportunity.
Unfortunately, this came at such an abrupt timing that Iâve not yet mentally prepared myself to accept it.â
âAre you honestly rejecting my offer?â Lawrence smirked and questioned Lily.
âIâm not trying to reject you. Itâs just that I think Iâm still unqualified to accept your invitation.â Lilyâs attitude was humble and respectful. âFirstly, I was excited when I heard the society had extended their invitation to me. I immediately rushed over when I got the news, butâ¦â
She glanced briefly in Noahâs direction and continued, âAfter staying here for the past two days, I finally got a glimpse of what the Perfumersâ Society is like. I realize my personality is unsuitable for joining as I canât contribute anything to the society. Plus, I would only create more trouble for the senior members.â
âWhy would youâ¦â Lawrence wanted to say something, but Lily continued, âI was preparing to leave, but then you showed up. Iâm sorry to have caused such a commotion to have you come all this way.
Why donât Iâ¦â
