"Y-You’re up?" Melanie forced a smile.
"You're going to get what you deserve."
His words washed away all of her humiliation as she looked at him with wide and gleaming eyes. "Really?"
"Of course!" He lowered his head and planted a kiss on her forehead. "Take a shower and get dressed up. I'm taking you somewhere later."
"Where are we going?" Upon hearing what he said, she suddenly felt energized.
"Didn't you want to learn how to become a star perfumer? Then, you shouldn’t ask anything and just do as I say."
Finally, he stood up and withdrew his arms. When he looked down at Melanie, she felt immense pressure and was at a loss for words.
Even though he was right, it made her feel like she was an item for which he could set a price as he wished. It made her uncomfortable, but when she thought about it, she would give him what he wanted in exchange for her dreams. That was how a deal worked.
He would find it amusing if she suddenly became concerned about her pride, given that she was nothing more than a commodity in his eyes. After reaching an
understanding with herself, she felt better.
