Camille's jaw practically hit the floor. Could Flora's perfume really be worth that much? Eighty million?! She could hardly believe it.
"Uh..." Liana was equally flabbergasted.
"Nathan, is this perfume really worth that kind of money?" Camille wondered if he was losing his marbles, but she kept that thought to herself out of respect for the old man's reputation.
She’d thought ten thousand bucks was steep, and here Nathan was talking eighty million like it was pocket change!
"Eighty million's probably a lowball! Never mind, explaining it to you is a waste of time. You just wouldn’t get it," Nathan said, waving her off dismissively. He turned to Liana instead: "If you think that's cheap, how about a cool hundred million, huh?"
Camille felt like she was in a daze, questioning everything she thought she knew. A hundred million for a little vial of perfume?
Liana hesitated, "Nathan, we can’t just give it to you. It was a gift to us, and passing it on wouldn’t be right."
Nathan looked a bit disappointed but quickly shrugged it off. It wasn’t about owning the perfume; he wanted to find the genius behind it.
"Alright, then who made this masterpiece?" he asked, assuming the creator must be someone as seasoned as he was.
But Liana's response was a bombshell even for those used to high drama.
"The perfumer? She's a young girl named Flora. Connor's fiancée," Liana replied, leaving Nathan stunned.
Today's young women were truly remarkable, crafting such exquisite fragrances at such a tender age! Nathan had heard of Flora’s exploits; the girl was a force of nature, shaking things up on Lone Island in no time at all.
Nathan didn’t dismiss Flora because of her youth. On the contrary, he was thrilled. The art of perfumery was a dying trade, and discovering such a talented young person was a breath of fresh air. If the other old timers got wind of this, they'd be knocking down doors to recruit her.
