Chapter 126 Don’t you really have any Idea?
Vivienne’s nose was not sensitive enough, her talent was not good enough and she was negligent, so her ability regressed so quickly, but she knew the basic procedures and principles, so she also helped out on the sidelines.
It must be admitted that when Louis was serious about his work, he was very decent.
He carefully dripped in the refined essential oils, added a few more ingredients, did the stirring and blending and finally put them on a shell to stand and wait for the results.
There were three test tubes in total, he did three attempts and, in his words, “one of them was bound to end up being the result we wanted and maybe, a little surprise.”
“You mean, a close approximation of the same model?” Vivienne asked.
Raising an eyebrow, he reached up to lift her chin, “You’re not too stupid!”
Looking away from his touch, Vivienne said, “Bul similarity is not very useful, no one would buy two similar scents, they would choose the one they liked best and the other one would be relatively useless.”
“You can’t say that, it’s a race to the bottom! The best seller is the one chosen by the public, the other one can be an imitation! it tastes similar but is much cheaper, so you think it would be very profitable?” He smiled meaningfully.
Vivienne’s eyes widened, “Wouldn’t that be the equivalent of picating your own product?”
In the process of making a perfume, it was always necessary to eliminate some defective products that did not meet the desired effect and these detective products, were simply destroyed, but leaving the child maliciously behind said that it was the first time she had heard Louis inention it,
Yes, it was true that it was tempting to make imitation pirated copies, but no one who made authentic products would do that, it was like trashing their own brand.
“Don’t say that! If someone else itnitates you, that’s what you call piracy, what’s there to pirate or not to pirate when it’s your own!” After a pause, he laughed mockingly. ” again, it’s not like you haven’t done something like this before. Don’t you have any idea how you got your V.L. stuff?”
That was a statement that poked at her deepest secret, the last thing she wanted to talk about.
“Don’t be ridiculous!”
Although he knew it wasn’t a big deal, being brought up like that was like being stripped of her shame and she was
upset.
“I don’t care if it has anything to do with it, what I care about is that you promised me something and you never did it! And…” turning to face her, his hands naturally wrapped around her body, encircling it, “You’ve been avoiding me for days!”
When he got close, his breath hit her and at once it was so heavy that she couldn’t breathe.
Vivienne unconsciously tensed physically. “I said, take your chances, you wait for me…”
“I’m tired of waiting. Vivi, are you playing with me?” He said as his fingers were already poking in through the bottom of her dress, sliding slowly up hier skin.
“… hult …” huffing backwards, Vivienne held his hand down, “No! This is a lab!”
Hearing her words, Louis turned his head to look around, slowly plancing around the room before his eyes locked on her small lace, “oh, you did remind me that this is, well, a lab.”
Before she could breathe a sigh of rellef, she felt a sudden lightness in her body and her person was lifted by his hard hand onto the counter top behind her.
“I’ve never tried that before, in a lab!” He smiled wickedly and as he approached her lips, his fingers had found the hidden clasp of her underwear from behind her precisely and with a click, he had unfastened it.
Vivienne panicked, remembering what the doctor had said and hurriedly pushed her hands against him, “Louis, wait! I really can’t!”
“No?” His face, which was still smiling, turned cloudy and his face quickly turned gloomy, “Vivi, are you tearing down the bridge? Don’t forget, you haven’t crossed this river of mine yet!”
“No!” At this time, she didn’t dare to anger Louis. “It’s not that I’m deliberately avoiding you, it’s really …”
Gritting her teeth, she decided to come clean, “It’s because I’m pregnant, that’s why I can’t…”
There was a flash of surprise in her blue eyes but on second thought Louis reacted, “Mr.Ladarius’s child?”
Vivienne nodded, “The doctor said I hadn’t been in the best of health lately and gave me strict orders not to do it again. I don’t mean to make excuses and I would love to talk to you … but you know, I have my difficulties.”
Hearing her say that, Louis finally let go of her hand and looked very spoiled, “So, you’re going to have a baby soon?”
“Vivi, I thought you were a new age woman and knew what was more important to you. I didn’t expect that you’d still choose such a vulgar path as getting married and having children and you should know that after you have children, your career longevity in the perfumer’s business will come to an end.”
Shaking her head, as if in regret.
Sliding down from the platform, she busied herself, “That’s not so full of it, who says a woman can’t have a career if she gets married and has a baby, as far as I know, Vivian, the master pertumer in the industry, also re-entered her career after having a baby and is now almost a hall of famer.”
The name Vivian does ring a bell in the industry and Louis nodded, not refuting her, only pointing out pointedly. “You’re right, not only did Vivian re-enter the business after having a baby, she’s still divorced and has a child of her own, but
“Are you her?!”
Vivienne: “…”
She was speechless for a moment and before she could think of something to say in her own defence, she heard him continue, “Which of your senses, your knowledge of information your proficiency in business operations, your years of experience in the industry, can you compare to Vivian? It she can do it, can you do it?”
“I still say, Vivi, people are called Vivi, you are also called Vivi, but what did you do to get to where you are today, don’t you really have any idea in your heart?”
The words really hit deep in Vivienne’s heart and her face was embarrassed.
“Louis, you don’t have to speak so harshly, do you?”
“I’m not speaking harshly, I’m just asking you to recognise the truth. Now that you’ve made your choice, you shouldn’t hesitate. People, there’s no wo ways about it, there’s always a trade-off. Before achieving fame and fortune and raising a husband and children, I think you should know clearly what is best!”
There was no denying that his words were cruel, but they were true to the core of her being
Vivienne was silent for a moment and said slowly. “Actually, I have already planned, not to have this child.”
