“Right, the perfume you’d asked for, is it a new product? I’ve never heard of it,” Wesley Parker is a world-renowned perfumer, but his daughter knew nothing about perfumes. In Lisa’s own words, she had no talent at it, nor was she interested.
Lily smiled, “Nope, it’s not a new product but an old one. It’s so old that it’s extinct now.”
“Huh? Then, isn’t that a task for Goliath?” Lisa was shocked at Lily’s request.
“Hmm… it’s not that difficult if he tried hard enough, but…” Lily smiled mysteriously. This fragrance was the first ever perfume Roseroot had invented a hundred years ago, which meant a lot to the country. It was even placed in a very exquisite bottle. This perfume was no longer available anywhere in the market. The only two remaining bottles were displayed at a museum in Roseroot. It was considered a priceless antique that was impossible to obtain even when you were insanely rich.
It was true that Lily was interested in it and did want to own it. However, she was also well aware that Mike would never be able to obtain that specific perfume. The reason why she did this was just to teach him a lesson that money could not solve everything. She had never once thought that she would be able to obtain Blossom.
After listening to her explanation, Lisa exclaimed in awe, “Lily, you surprise me every day. Do you know what Mike’s existence is like in Bryxton City? No one would ever dare to make a fool out of him.”
“Why would I be making a fool out of him? He was the one who offered to thank me with a reward, so I told him what I wanted. It depends on his abilities. I didn’t force him to do it.” Lily shrugged nonchalantly. She was not playing him at all.
‘Fine, maybe a little, but I didn’t force him to do it!’ Lily thought to herself.
Lisa shook her head, “You may not have forced him to do it, but judging from Mike’s character, he’ll get that perfume since he’d promised you. If he cannot fulfill his promise, he’ll only end up as a laughingstock.”
“It’s that bad?” Lily asked hesitantly.
“Of course! Men are prideful, especially people like Mike. Their pride is everything!” Lisa emphasized.
“Gosh… It’s my bad for not considering that. The next time I see him, I’ll make sure to let him know that I’ve changed my mind,” Lily could only do it the next time they meet. It would be awkward if she went to him now and said, “Hi, I was only joking about that perfume. Why don’t you give me a few million in cash instead.”
Lisa only laughed in astonishment and patted Lily’s shoulder, “Why have I not known that you were this funny?”
“Maybe it’s because I’ve hidden it well? It’s such a shame that you’ve caught on now,” Lily teased her jokingly.
When they exited the elevator, Lily felt her phone vibrate through her bag. She took it out and glanced at the caller ID. It was Giselle. Lily immediately felt a headache forming.
The moment she answered the call, Giselle bombarded her with a series of questions, “Ms. Christian, it’s getting late. Where are you? I’ve been waiting for you. I tried calling and texting, but there wasn’t any reply. Did you know that I was worried sick? Could you please tell me when you’re planning to go the next time? Where are you now?”
Lily looked at the watch, and it was pretty late already, “I’m still out, but I’ll be back in a few minutes.”
“All right, please make sure you return as soon as possible. It’s not safe for a woman to wander around at night. I’ll be waiting at the hotel,'' Giselle could finally sigh in relief as she had managed to contact Lily. She was determined to wait for her as the competition was just around the corner, and they needed to discuss the details.
