Chapter 125 Holding her bright future
Simon mused, pointing out the key point quite directly. “In a way, you’re still new.”
Silvia nodded, that was true.
She had been in the business for a long time, but she had always been behind the scenes and few people even knew she was a perfumer. All her previous work has been shamelessly hijacked by V.L.
The reputation and aura of her perfumery recipes were once taken away by Vivienne.
Now she’s doing it and Carmelo has given her plenty of scope, but she’s a newcomer in every sense of the word.
Who did the exclusive couture pieces target? The rich and the famous!
Exclusive couture is not affordable, it’s expensive and naturally the people who use it are very selective
They were looking for famous and established pettumers, not to mention in the perfumery circle, even people from other industries would have heard of them
With just her? Not that it’s hard, but it’s basically out of the question
“I know I have no came or coolades. the m ent, Sl have to prepareA kcept for this annual competition where I’m going to win a prize” To tell hin this was verough outline in his own mind, to have a preliminary idea already
Simon raised an eyebrow, finding that she was not use thinking about it and was interested, “What kind of preparation?”
“I’ve been thinking about creating new products recently, so I can make two in advance, even if they’re not very Successful, at least I’ll have lessons to learn.”
“That’s fine.” After thinking about it, Simon nodded, “But, it’ll be hard work.”
“I’m happy to do what I love to do!” she spoke from the bottom of her heart, the ability to do what she loved to do
was pleasurable enough in itself.
Seeing her smile, Simon’s mood brightened and he reached tor her, suddenly scooping her up in his arms and stood up, heading upstairs.
“Hmm.” Silvia wondered what he was doing and raised an eyebrow in question.
He smiled slightly. “I approve of what you’re saying, so … I thought I’d do something that would make me happy at the moment!”
“…” Silvia quickly comprehended and her cheeks ilushed,
The night was long and indeed worth enjoying.
“You’re late.” Lowering her voice, even though no one was around at this time of night, Vivienne was still nervous about being seen.
Luckily she knew the whole structure of the laboratory well, where there was surveillance and where she could avoid it.
And just in case, she had come round again in the afternoon, under the guise of looking for problems, to familiarise herself with the terrain again and to be prepared for anything in the meantime.
She didn’t expect Louis to be late again.
He seemed to have no concept of time, asking her to be punctual, but being unpunctual himself.
But she couldn’t help it, she had to ask him.
Like this moment, she smelled him smelling of alcohol, but couldn’t say anything, so she wrinkled her nose with one hand and said, “You’ve been drinking?”
“You have a good nose, don’t you?” He laughed in disbelief and moved closer to her, “Why don’t you smell what I’ve been eating?”
As he got closer, the smell of alcohol intensified, making her nauseous and she took two steps back, “Don’t do that!”
“You’re not still shy, are you?” Reaching out to tease her cheek, Louis smiled playfully. “It’s an exercise for you too! As a perfumer, how can you not have a sharp nose?”
“Come on, stop it!” Vivienne didn’t have the heart to make small talk with him.
“Time is short, we need to find out what’s wrong. You remember what you promised me and also, will you be able to … do it in this condition?”
Reaching out to press the lift button, Louis gave her a meaningful look up and down, “Don’t you know if I’m okay?”
Vivienne: “…”
The door was locked and everything inside was put away. Fortunately, she had come in advance to find out where the failed samples were kept and had carefully switched on the lights, but she was still a little anxious.
There was no one else in the lab except a night watchman. She made a point of saying hello to the night watchman, saying that she had to work late and not to disturb her, went into the lift and down to the underground garage, waiting for Louis to arrive.
That way, they would be assured that they would not be disturbed and could work out what was wrong with the recipe.
“Come and see!” Vivienne turned to face the console, to the small bottles she held out, “These are all samples of the recent failures, exactly as you gave the recipe in the concoction, the portioning is precise, but it’s just not quite right, the taste has impurities, it’s not pure.”
After all, her future was at stake in this matter and she still took it quite seriously.
“I think there might be a problem with one of the flavours in there, is it lavender? I think your other ingredients might clash a little with it, don’t you?”
When she didn’t get a response after half a dozen words, she turned back to the table, only to see Louis leaning back there at the table, half lying on the tabletop as if asleep.
It was that Vivienne became furious!
“Louis!” he called his name in a low, angry voice, “You promised me! You’re here on business, how can you do this!”
“Hey, a little tired take a little break, don’t make a big deal out of it!” Stretching, Louis said lazily, “It’s just a difference in smell, it’s not a big deal.”
“The environment, the humidity, the temperature all make a difference, don’t you even understand that?” Unhurriedly, she came over and swept past her hands, taking the vials straight away. placing them on the end of her nose for a slight sniff before throwing them into the side bin, “Rubbish!”
“Hey…” Vivienne didn’t expect him to be so quick and couldn’t stop him in time, “What if they get caught tomorrow!”

He laughed mockingly, “Tomorrow? what’s the point of keeping this rubbish when you have a successful production
tomorrow!”
At his words, Vivienne’s anger subsided and she got a little excited, “Are you serious?”
“Look at you, you can’t hold your breath!” Shaking his head, Louis had already started to fetch some of the materials and tools for the lab.
“Even if you do succeed, it will be easy to see that you didn’t do it. It’s like sex, you have to be calm, tolerant and persistent to get the most out of it!”
“‘!!!” Even if Vivienne was now open enough, she was still flushed by these few words of his, but could not hold back her anticipation and her eyes were fixed on his movements, as if what he was holding in his hands, was her bright future!
