The other party has accepted your request.
Staring at the unfamiliar profile picture pinned to the top of her messages, she wasn't sure how to break the ice.
Aurélle was actually owned by the Zimmer family...
Should she still participate in the perfume competition?
If they found out a member of the Xylon family was competing, would they purposely make things difficult for her?
Her mind was at war, but as she finally calmed down, she figured they probably wouldn't.
A massive corporation like Aurélle wouldn't be petty enough to target one random woman...
Besides, she had seen Mr. Zimmer a few times now, and he seemed pretty laid-back. He was always smiling and actually looked like he had a better temper than his assistant.
Queenie's heart settled.
For now, she just needed to explain everything to his assistant and make it clear that she hadn't known his identity to begin with. As long as she cleared up the misunderstanding, everything would be fine.
As for whether participating in Aurélle's competition would outrage the Xylon family, she didn't care anymore.
In their eyes, she had been a rebellious, unfilial daughter from the day she married Zander Calvert anyway.
She didn't mind adding one more sin to her list.
"Hi, Miles. This is Queenie. I just wanted to clarify what happened the other night. I had no idea you were the assistant to Aurélle's CEO. It was purely a coincidence that your window was open and I happened to fall through it..."
"I am participating in Aurélle's perfume competition, but I won't use you to achieve anything. As long as the competition is fair, I'll use my own talent to prove whether I deserve to stand on the winner's podium."
After sending those two messages.
She deleted his contact.
Since she had already made herself clear, keeping his number would only make her motives look suspicious.
Meanwhile, the dinner was wrapping up. Zander warmly saw "Z" out.
Throughout the entire meal, Queenie barely exchanged a single word with the fake "Z".
