Dear Sweetheart novel

“Bye!”

Rayna waited until Emerald hailed herself a taxi before getting into Ella’s car.

“What’s the progress on the investigation?” she asked while switching on her phone.

“Ms. Evans did manage to find something. The perfume that Egret Scents released last month wasn’t created by their own perfumer,” Ella replied.

Rayna’s eyes lit up when she heard that. “Did their perfumer buy it from someone else?”

“No.”

“No? So, they didn’t create it, nor did they buy it from someone else. Then where did he get it from?” Rayna asked in confusion.

Ella told her everything that Suzie had managed to find out about.

Suzie had contacted one of Glory’s employees and said she had breached the company’s non-disclosure agreement by handing their perfume to a rival company. Suzie then said she would give that employee a second chance to make things right.

In order to maintain a clean employment record, the employee contacted her sister, who was working for Egret Scents, and asked for her help. As her sister was working in the production team, she was able to befriend the perfumer rather easily.

Egret Scents profited greatly from the sales of that perfume. Because of that, the perfumer became famous and ended up letting his ego get to his head. Two days ago, he got drunk at the company party and let it slip when the sister asked about it.

The perfumer said he received a perfume sample in the mail last month. He didn’t know who sent it to him, but he found its scent incredibly unique. As his higher-ups were pressuring him to come up with a new product, he recreated that perfume sample and submitted it.
