His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 129

The nervous heaved a sigh of relief, and everyone in the audience laughed.

"You have a good sense of humor, Ms. Christian. Indeed, being a senior resembles being an object to the learning juniors, but not everyone can understand the true essence of a senior's work. How much do you think you can understand, Ms. Christian?" The host asked provocatively, trying to add excitement to the conversation for the audience.

Everyone was in high spirits because of the little episode earlier. They all waited for Lily's answer. The question seemed simple but was quite tricky to answer. Lily would appear too arrogant if she gave an exaggerated answer but would seem unconfident if she was too reserved.

Lily smiled at the host. "I dare not say I can understand the essence of a master’s work. As perfumers, we all know very well that every perfumer has their own inspirations and ideas. Each product has the creator's unique perception. Even in the creation process, there would be different approaches and motivations.

"People are inherently different, and it is naturally impossible to understand what is happening in other people's minds. I can't say how much I'll understand Master Claude's work, but I can tell you my thoughts

and feelings after trying his new product."

Lily stood on stage, speaking openly and eloquently without hinting at stage fright. Her smile was confident, and her tone and body language were convincing. She was like a light, capturing the audience’s attention.

Many did not realize that they had subconsciously locked their eyes on Lily as they gradually nodded in agreement with her statement.

Meanwhile, a man smiled as he sat in a VIP room on the second floor overlooking the entire venue.

The sampling session became more lively because of the appearance of several new perfumers. It was an excellent opportunity for the rookies to gain experience and communicate.

Melanie’s eyes grew darker, and she became increasingly depressed and irritable because everyone seemed to be shining in the spotlight. She was the only one who everyone ignored and forgot.

She wondered why it seemed that way since she had won many awards by working hard to climb the industry ladder. She was also a perfumer, but it was like no one knew.

'I shouldn't have come here just to get humiliated.' Melanie turned around and prepared to leave with that thought in mind.

"That lady." The host shouted, "Yes, the beautiful lady in the red dress. Yes, you!"

Snap!

Suddenly, the spotlight turned to Melanie, and she became the center of attention. She knew she could not avoid it. Melanie straightened her neck and slowly turned around as her back stiffened, hoping that she had misheard and the host was not calling her. However, the host looked straight at her and said smilingly, "Can you please come to the stage?"

Melanie could not leave when faced with many gazes, no matter how reluctant she was, as it would be too embarrassing. She slowly walked toward the stage with stiff steps. She did not turn her eyes away for fear of making eye contact with anyone, especially Lily, which would make her die of embarrassment.

Melanie still did not dare to look down when she stood on the stage. Instead, she looked straight off into the distance.
