Mia’s eyes gleamed with contempt as Seraphina accepted the challenge without hesitation. Though Aroma Delight was a relatively young enterprise, it was backed by the mighty Apex Corporation, which guaranteed top-tier, talented personnel at every level. This confidence fortified Mia’s disdain towards Seraphina.
Finding a way to extricate Seraphina from the team without causing a ruckus had kept Mia restless. Now, with this gamble, she saw a tactical exit strategy.
“Don’t go back on your word! I despise individuals who don’t honor their word!” Mia emphasized, leaving no room for backtracking or second thoughts.
Seraphina affirmed without faltering, “I share the sentiment.”
Skeptical, but unyielding, Mia beckoned to Scraphina from her chair. “Come here.”
Rising to her feet, Seraphina approached Mia. With her background in the aroma. industry, she had immediately recognized the three identical perfume bottles arrayed. on Mia’s desk. Identical in their appearance and seemingly identical in the liquid they held, she deduced they were new fragrances under examination.
Understanding that each new product underwent rigorous scrutiny to ensure stability. and identify flaws, she knew the task at hand would call for a perfumer’s delicate. discernment.
Silently standing before Mia, Seraphina awaited her instructions.
“These three products were phased out by our company. I need you to identify why,” Mia instructed, tipping her head towards the bottles. The room fell silent, the expressions around the table a mix of surprise and comprehension. Each one watching. as Seraphina looked at Mia, her eyes radiating confidence, and Mia, in return, doing nothing but waiting for the show to unfurl.
Carefully, Seraphina picked up one of the bottles and scrutinized the liquid within before moving on to inspect the others. Her initial evaluation was purely visual, as if trying to unlock a secret in the perfume’s appearance. She was in no rush, and everyone. in the room watched her, most eagerly anticipating her impending embarrassment.

Rumors about Seraphina had already made rounds in the company, painting her as someone who stole confidential information from her past enterprise in attempts to climb up
the ladder at Aroma Delight. The general impression was far from favorable.
Seraphina felt the air of hostility but was unfazed-she chose to trust herself. After a thorough visual inspection of each sample, she returned the bottles to their original spots and backed off. She stood up straight, looking at Mia calmly, her hands no longer interacting with the bottles.

Mia savored her coffee, calmly waiting for Seraphina’s next move. Her patience to witness Seraphina’s struggle and inevitable surrender was vast. Yet, much to her surprise, Seraphina looked content, with no further attempt to interact with the samples.
Flashing a mocking smile, Mia suggested, “So, giving up already? Alright, then. Since
you can’t…”
“Hold on, Ms. Lawson, Seraphina interrupted, causing Mia to hold her words mid-
sentence.
“These are not phased-out products; these are new ones. They mustn’t be older than a fortnight, and are ripe for promotion, Seraphina stated boldly.
A collective surprise echoed through the room as everyone wondered who had leaked. this information to her. While Mia remained stoic, Seraphina continued, “The three are strikingly similar, with only a slight variation in one spice, thus classifying them as three distinct perfumes.”
“Are
you certain about this?” Mia chuckled, more in disbelief than amusement.
Unmoved by Mia’s skepticism, and with an unwavering conviction Seraphina. responded, “Yes! The different spice in each variety makes them distinct. Although not perceptible to a layperson, a habitual perfume user can tell them apart. Besides, these nuances become more apparent with time.”
Having made her analysis, Seraphina reached out for the far-right bottle, holding it delicately. “This one is my choice-it’s superior and should be tailored for young ladies. aged eighteen to twenty-three.
It was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
No one told her whether she was right or wrong.
Mia still looked at her with a half-smile and said jokingly, “Are you sure?”
“I’m sure!” Seraphina nodded affirmatively without hesitation.
