You're The Best Medicine For Me novel Chapter 40

In the VIP resting room…

Sabina’s father and mother, George and Olivia Thomas were receiving Mr. Stewart.

As they lauded their own daughter, Sabina, greatly to him, Mr. Stewart laid eyes on her work and he was moved to the point that he wanted to keep her as his disciple.

After Sabina had lost sight of Bryan, she came back to the resting room looking disturbed.

When Olivia saw her daughter return, she immediately stood up and held her arms with a wide grin, “Sabina, Mr. Stewart has seen your work. He’s quite interested in you and he wants to know your opinion on following him tutelage. He will be able to train you until you become a masterful blender of perfumes.”

Sabina heard this and almost instantly her gloomy face was gone. She directed her gaze on a middle-aged man sitting on a sofa.

He was dressed in loose-fitting black overalls, and his hair was combed stylishly. He had a glasses and a thin figure, but his smile was somehow very down-to-earth.

Sabina hurried to his side and greeted him with an astonished expression, “Stewart, do I really make the cut?”

Mr. Stewart’s full name was Arthur Stewart.

Sabina purposely chose to call him “Stewart” because she wanted to get as familiar as possible to this world-famous perfumer. She wanted to gain his liking so that she could become his last disciple.

Mr. Stewart had announced to the public that this mask banquet would signal the end of his professional career. From that moment on, he wouldn’t dabble in the business anymore, so there would be no new work from him. However, he would choose a talented youngster from this banquet to be the last disciple he would train.

He would teach everything he knew about the business to this last student.

Arthur lifted a bottle of perfume on the table and smiled, “Are you the one who blended this bottle of perfume?”

Sabina narrowed her gaze and there was a flash of dark light in her eyes.

That bottle was indeed orchestrated by her, but she didn’t own the formula.

She nodded with an earnest smile, “That’s right.”

Arthur produced a satisfactory smile and commented, “This perfume was light to the sense and it carries with it the scent of morning dew. This is great for calming the unsettling heart. Where did you get your inspiration from?”

Sabina put on a faint smile and replied with full confidence, knowing that she knew the ins and outs of this bottle, “Stewart, I was inspired by the morning dew. Every drop of this perfume is born from every droplets of morning dew that I have collected, and those morning dew have to make the cut of my serious expectation. They had to be on certain flowers or leaves, and in the process of producing it, every droplet was separated according to their sources. In fact, I didn’t mix in any artificial flavoring, and this wouldn’t suit a woman anymore. I specially created this for my love because he loves the faint aroma of morning dew. It could help him relax and ease him into sleep.”

When Arthur heard all of her words, there was a flash of astonishment on his face.

When he first encountered this bottle of perfume, he had a feeling that it was something he had known. After Sabina had introduced the origins of this perfume, he slowly recollected that a girl had spoken the same words to him in the past.

Every droplet of dew originating from different flowers and leaves would culminate into a type of perfume that could recreate the effect of early morning. One could search for escape from a stressful working life through this perfume.

He never thought that there would be two of a kind in this world.

Arthur suddenly launched into a guffaw.

George and Olivia exchanged a glance.

Sabina asked with a suppressed smile, “ Arthur, what are you laughing about?”

“I am enthralled because you guys are too alike!” Arthur then lightly shook the contents of the perfume with his hand.

Sabina was perplexed at his answer, and she hated most when someone compared her to someone similar.

After that incident from six years ago, Sabina would often had nightmares that Shirley would come back for her dear life in the form of a ghost.

She tried to fake her calmness, “Stewart, who do you think is alike with me?”

“She is also your age, and she used to create perfume using morning dew, like your creation here. The methods are the same, and the smell is the same too. If there’s a chance, I would let you meet her. She is one of my proudest student.” Arthur said with obvious delight, “However, your perfume lacks something. If a chance arises, you two need to have a good talk over this. With that, you can create an even superior perfume.”

When Sabina heard this, she could feel her body shudder, and a chilling cold crept to her heart.

How was that possible?
