"What do you mean by that? What's his name? Let me see if I know the guy."
"You'll find out soon enough!" Lily raised her hand and patted Olivia’s shoulder.
Lily stood up and changed the topic, "Liv, it might be more challenging to create this new product, and work would be tougher, too."
"You make it sound like our work was easy back then. Don’t worry about it. Just lead the project and leave the preparations to me." Olivia smiled.
"I knew you're the best assistant I could ever ask for!"
When they returned to the lab, Lily first checked the extracted samples. They were, as expected, nothing like what she wanted.
It was essential to use high-quality components, but the extraction and purification techniques necessary to achieve the desired scent were also crucial. The complicated procedure had to be carried out repeatedly before it could be considered a success.
The launch of a new perfume in the market involved many hours of hard work by the perfumers. Those who would steal the products of others' labor were despicable.
"We failed again!" Olivia sighed, slightly disappointed.
"It's normal to fail. When did we ever succeed easily in the past? Plus, we're using a new ingredient this time around. It has a complex scent, so it'll be even more challenging for us! What? Are you going to give up now?”
After working together for so many years, Olivia knew Lily was joking. "An easy research is lame. If we do this, I want to do the hardest one!"
While talking, Olivia prepared for the next round of experiments. However, Lily stopped her. "It's fine.
We’ll continue tomorrow since it’s late now. We're not in a hurry, anyway."
It was getting late, and Alexander had reminded Lily to go home earlier that day. Although he seemed overbearing, Lily enjoyed having someone care for her so much.
