Chapter 92

“T – Ten times?!” Melanie gasped in disbelief. She was surprised by Olivia‘s colossal appetite.

She could not even process it before she heard Olivia saying, “As for the promotion...you‘re underestimating my ambitions. Why would I be satisfied with just a managerial position in the R&D department? What I truly want is your position” She pointed and looked straight at Melanie, indicating she was not joking.

Melanie‘s expression turned sour immediately after. Although it was just a temporary measure to get Olivia‘s help, Melanie could always break her promise later. Still, it was infuriating that Olivia had the guts to ask for Melanie‘s position so openly. If Melanie agreed to give up her position to Olivia, what would the other staff members think of her, not to mention the industry?

Olivia had expected Melanie, so she was in no rush. She sat back comfortably in her chair with her hands resting behind her head. Olivia looked up and said, “Oh, there‘s one more thing. You‘ll have to apologize to Lily and publicly admit you stole her research. Afterward, I might consider helping you.”

Melanie was at her limit and could no longer tolerate Olivia after hearing what she had just said. “You‘re taking this too far, Olivia Hart!” She yelled angrily.

Faced with Melanie‘s wrath, Olivia simply smiled casually. “I‘m sorry. What do you mean by taking this too far?‘ Weren‘t you the one who told me to name my price? Yet, you‘re upset after I‘ve stated my conditions. You shouldn‘t have said that if you can‘t live up to your promises. Now you‘re just making things awkward.”

I‘m busy, and Mr. Hall still needs me to deliver some data to him. By the way, I‘m just curious, but don‘t you need to work too, Ms. Thayer? You‘re one of our best perfumers, so your knowledge is naturally much better than ours.

“I‘m sure you‘re more than capable enough to handle this crisis. We‘re all waiting for you to lead us.”

Olivia finished speaking, took out her test tube, and happily returned to work. She was in such an excellent mood after seeing Melanie flustered and speechless.

Melanie was so mad that she snatched the test tube away from Olivia.

Olivia was surprised. “Ms. Thayer, I can‘t do my job if you keep this up.” “Quit screwing around with me!

Since you‘re being difficult, let‘s be crude, shall we? What did Lily offer you? She left this company to join another, so do you think she even thought of what would happen to you? “I know you two were close, and you‘ve worked together for a long time, but being loyal to her doesn‘t pay the bills. Do you realize where she left you? She‘s earning a hefty salary while you‘re here trying to defend her. Think about it. Is your job more important or your loyalty to her?”

“Well, you see...” Olivia shook her head and sighed, “Heartless people like you wouldn‘t be able to understand. It‘s not always about money.” “Olivia Hart!” Melanie shouted in exasperation. Before she could continue, her phone rang
