Chapter 70

However, there was no hostility in Jenny's eyes this time; it seemed more like encouragement.

She smiled slightly. "Why should I be afraid?"

Lily, a perfumer, knew the industry involved stench suppression as well as fragrance creation. Not all raw materials have pleasant aromas; some have foul odors and may even be repulsive. To eliminate the stench while preserving the fragrance, a perfumer must utilize the unique properties of the materials. With such pungent smells in the air, this laboratory clearly focused on experimenting with various stenches.

Lily knew Jenny would make things difficult, but she hadn't expected this method. Still, it didn't matter; Lily was interested in everything related to perfume making.

Jenny was somewhat impressed by Lily's composure, but said, "Don't get ahead of yourself. Do you think eliminating the smell is all it takes? That's basic knowledge for any entry-level perfumer. Your task is to record the data of distinct odors and analyze their characteristics. There are forty-eight different odors here, and you need to complete this task in three days. Can you do it?"

"I don't need that long," Lily said, giving Jenny a composed look. "One day. I only need one day."

Jenny's eyes flashed with surprise, but she continued in her usual manner. "Okay, that's what you've asked for! Don't blame me if I made things difficult. Whether or not you can do it, you must accept responsibility for your promise!"

"Of course!" Lily couldn't wait to get started.

Seeing Lily's excited look, Jenny inexplicably found herself looking forward to the result.

To be honest, Jenny disliked Lily and hadn't had a favorable first impression. It was difficult for her to be objective. George had been so insistent on hiring Lily that Jenny suspected there was more to the story.

However, Lily's performance in the conference room slightly altered Jenny's perception. At least Lily demonstrated some actual talent. Jenny couldn't help but wonder why she hadn't heard of Lily before, given her abilities. Why were MN Inc.'s top-selling fragrances always listed under someone else's name if Lily had created them? Jenny suspected things weren't as they seemed. "Some of these forty-eight odors are very similar, and I should remind you to protect yourself. You might hurt your nose before the task is completed," Jenny said, patting Lily's shoulder. The words sounded harsh, but Lily sensed Jenny's good intentions.

Lily smiled slightly. "Don't worry, I promise to complete the task and pass your assessment!"

Jenny's lips hinted at a smile, but she quickly composed herself. "Those are just words. We want results!"

"Sure!"

Just as Lily was about to begin, Jenny stood behind her. "Hey"

"Huh?" Lily turned and asked quietly.

After hesitating, Jenny said impatiently, "Is your lawsuit over? Why does it seem like a never-ending TV series?"

Although impatient, there was a hint of concern in her voice.

Lily smiled. "Thank you, Ms. Gray, for your concern. It will end soon!"

"Who cares about you? I'm afraid your personal affairs might affect the company's reputation."

"I'll deal with it as soon as possible!"
