After landing in Paris, Chloe rushed to Moonstone Castle and found the hotel she had booked in advance. After taking a shower, Chloe plopped onto the bed, feeling super lazy and unwilling to move a muscle.
Even though it was sunny outside, the hustle and bustle of France began.
To adjust to the time difference, Chloe didn't sleep for long. At noon, she got up and went downstairs to find a place to eat.
Chloe found a decent looking restaurant, nabbed a seat by the window, ordered her meal in fluent French, and then sat there waiting.
Most restaurants in France were decked out all fancy and posh, with exquisite silverware, crystal glasses, various paintings on the walls, and pretty vines decorated in the corridors. All of which totally fit the French people’s unique sense of romance and elegance.
After lunch, just when Chloe was enjoying her dessert, her cellphone rang. Seeing the caller ID, she smiled and picked up.
"Hey."
A deep, powerful voice came from the other end, "I'm here."
Chloe stood up, "Alright, I'll come get you." She paid the bill and left the restaurant, but ran into a few people.
"Hey, what a coincidence..."
Keira raised an eyebrow. Lance was standing on the outer side of the road, so he couldn't see the arrogant face Keira made when she saw Chloe.
Chloe didn't say anything, but turned to the middle-aged man next to Keira.
"Oh, remember him? My mentor, the one my grandma specifically hired to teach me fragrance blending. I remember he visited our house before. You might have met him, right?"
Joshua, a bit of a big shot in the fragrance world. He won the champion of the fragrance contest when he was 32. His elegant and noble creations were loved and sought after by the upper class’ gentlemen and ladies. With the endorsement of these high society people, his reputation in the fragrance world remained strong.
Chloe as expected knew his works. His talent was indeed extraordinary. But his success...
Chloe didn't know if the products he designed were out of his own preference or he just wanted to be successful.
Joshua looked well-maintained, he exuded an artist's noble aura. Dressed in a deep purple suit, his indifferent gaze at Chloe didn't reveal any emotions, but obviously excluded Chloe from his social circle.
Chloe didn't say anything while listening to Keira's introduction, because she knew Keira definitely had more to say. Keira wanted to take a jab at her, and she wouldn't miss any chance.
As the granddaughter of the Summers family, Carolina knew that Chloe was most interested in fragrance blending, but she only hired a master for Keira. This was something that Keira was proud of and thought could stab Chloe in the heart.
Then...
Not long after, Keira put on a look of sudden realization.
