Mia shook her head. You haven’t cleared my tests yet, you’re not part of my team, and I won’t assign you any work.
She paused before throwing a half-hearted offer. “But if you’re bored and willing… you could help us out with fetching things and running errands.”
Td rather not!” Seraphina responded emphatically. I’m a perfumer. I know my professional boundaries and responsibilities. Doing menial tasks isn’t beneath me, but these aren’t a part of my job.”
After a pause, she continued with a light smile. “Ms. Lawson. I’ll await your tests since you require three days to determine the content and have no work for me. However, do note. if you fail to arrange a test within the allotted time. I’ll take that as an automatic
