His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 548

Lily was surprised that her gesture of gifting her friend a custom-made perfume would cause quite a commotion on the news and social media.

Initially, the discussions on social media were about the perfume, but they gradually became about the perfumer, her past, her physical appearance, and even how she sounded in person.

Hashtags like “Lily’s custom-made perfume.” “Lily’s heavenly voice,” “Lily the queen of plagiarism,” and “Lily looks like an actress” appeared across Twitter. If these were not hashtags, Lily would have assumed the netizens were using her name to create new catchphrases.

Faced with such a situation, Lily did not know how to react. It was a perfect example of unintentionally successful social media marketing.

Lily’s Twitter account gained four million followers overnight. She was still not used to this overnight fame, even though she was well-known now. Still, she was unsatisfied with her performance as a perfumer and knew she had a long way to go to become a world-famous perfumer.

“Aren’t you happy to be famous?” Alexander asked while pouring them each a glass of red wine. He passed her one glass and sat beside her with the other.

“Honestly, I would much prefer if they focused on my perfume instead of me.” As a perfumer, there was nothing more fulfilling than the public acknowledging her work.

She had spent so much time researching and developing her product that it would mean the world if people genuinely appreciated it. However, the reality was the exact opposite. At first, the public showed interest in Lily’s work, but they became more interested in Lily than her perfume.

“Have you ever thought of starting your own brand?” Alexander asked as he sipped his wine.

“My own brand?” Lily’s eyes immediately lit up. That was every perfumer’s dream, but it was difficult to achieve as one needed a lot of money and resources.

Even though there were many top perfumers, few had their own perfume brands. Most typically worked for reputable brands at the start, and once they made a name for themselves, they would tie themselves to the brands they worked for. By then, it would not matter whether or not it was the perfumers’ own brand since they were already famous.

“I don’t have the resources for that. Besides, Rebirth treats me well.” Lily was forever grateful to Rebirth because it allowed her to continue working on her research and doing what she loved. Moreover, it also gave her leverage to go against Nathaniel. How could she leave Rebirth after she had made a name for herself? That would be downright selfish.

“You don’t have to leave Rebirth,” Alexander clarified, “You can still stay. They’ll just provide you with an individual research area. Then, they'd place your new products into a separate line whenever you decide to release one. You'll be the one naming the products with a different brand. That will be your brand.”

Alexander’s proposal was tempting, and it was hard for Lily not to accept it. “You gave me such an attractive offer, and it’s difficult for me to refuse!” Lily's eyes betrayed her eagerness to take up the offer.

Alexander smiled, “Then don’t refuse it.”
