Olivia sighed and asked, "Why are you taking him seriously?"
"There's some truth to it. Local perfumers and brands are gaining popularity, but many still believe international brands make better perfumes. That's not the case for us," Lily said, feeling emotional.
Olivia shrugged. "To some extent, it's true. Right now, the average standard in the country cannot compare to big, international brands."
"Maybe not right now, but we'll surely be able to in the future." Lily had set her sights on this goal and would work hard toward it.
One day, her perfume would be a big player on the international stage. The whole world would see that Hyderland was capable of creating top-quality perfumes.
"Lily, since you're home, I'll go now," Olivia said as she was about to turn around.
Lily tugged on her and said, "Wait! Since you're here, why not come in for a bit? I was drunk the last time, so today, let me be the one to entertain you."
"It's getting late," Olivia refused. "I might not be able to get a car later."
Lily smiled and held onto her arm. "No problem. Worst-case scenario, I'll ask Edward to send you home."
At the mention of Edward, Olivia blushed. "I don't want to trouble anyone."
"It's no trouble at all. Alexander will pay him overtime." Lily tugged at Olivia's arm and headed for the gated community. Lily had her access card this time, so they could easily enter.
