Diana was silent.
She wondered why she would put on so much effort to return the card to Brooklyn.
Brooklyn could see that Diana was pissed as her cheeks were puffed out. A trace of warmth appeared in his ever-cold eyes.
After Diana left, Harper brought Brooklyn a piece of news.
“Mr. Powell, I’ve found something about the matter you asked me to investigate yesterday.”
The ink-black eyes with warmth just now suddenly became gloomy.
“Tell me.”
...
People in the blending section of the perfume department all knew Diana.
With the bottle of perfume named “The Necklace”, she promoted the cooperation between Powell Group and Hillvie Group.
Some of the perfumers in the department admired Diana for her gift and capability, but some of them were jealous of her.
They couldn’t understand why a perfumer who was much younger than they were could blend a bottle of perfume that could attract Mr. Powell’s attention.
Besides, Diana was way too good-looking.
Ashley Carter, the manager of the perfume department, looked at the card that represented the highest authority of the company and was handled by Diana, biting her bottom lip in jealousy.
“This way please, Anna.” Ashley returned to her gentle and graceful look as usual, returning the black card to Diana.
Watching Diana walk into the molecular laboratory, Ashley patted her desk violently.
She believed that it wouldn’t take long for Anna to be promoted above her.
Ashley had joined Powell Group several years ago. She hadn’t been promoted to the manager of the perfume department until recently. How could she tolerate to let a woman with a young pretty face only take away her power?
“Excuse me, Ms. Carter.” A female employee rushed to her with a bunch of spices. These are all the spices requested by Anna just now. I’ve taken them all here.”
Ashley took a glance of them, only to find they were all valuable spices. She was so angry that her nose twisted.
Anna wasn’t an employee of their perfume department. ‘What right does she have to use such valuable spices?’ Ashley thought to herself in anger.
Even if Anna could blend a good perfume, the share of its sales had nothing to do with their perfume department.
“Excuse me, Ms. Carter?” the female employee called her again since Ashley didn’t respond to her at all.
Ashley came back to her senses and said in a gentle tone. “Hurry up and take them into the lab. Anna is the perfume that Mr. Powell treasures the most now!”
In the molecular laboratory, Diana was dealing with the spices by using the exact instruments.
She got to know that Brooklyn was suffering from insomnia and her body scent could ease it, she had an idea to develop a perfume.
Brooklyn’s olfactory sensation was more sensitive than others. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to smell the tiny trick that she made in Mirabelle’s perfume.
While Diana concentrated on operating the instruments, she couldn’t help but think that if Brooklyn were interested in blending, probably all other perfumers would lose their jobs.
Outside the door, Ashley watched Diana’s movements through the crack on the door.
She just asked the storage to give her the list of spices that Diana asked for.
Ashley had years of experience in blending. After glancing through the list, she realized that Diana was going to develop a perfume to ease insomnia.
Thinking of that, Ashley had an idea. She asked others to get a few spices and mixed them together. Then she sent them into the molecular laboratory.
“Yes, Ms. Carter?” Dianna looked confused when seeing her.
Ashley smiled, putting the mixed spices on the table. “Anna, this is a unique spice that was developed by our department this year. If you like it, you can use it as well.”
Dianna answered politely, “Thank you so much, Ms. Carter.”
After Ashley left, Diana opened the bottle. As soon as she smelt the spice, she frowned deeply.
