Chapter 273 You Don’t Have to Be Like Her
Susan and Ingrid shopped all day and bought a lot of things. Other than a gift for Miley, Susan also bought gifts for other elders of the Palmer family. In terms of maintaining connections, or to put it more precisely, in terms of pleasing the elders, Susan always did a good job.
When they were about to leave, Susan stopped in her tracks as she passed by the perfume counter. She looked at those dazzling perfumes.
After walking for a while, Ingrid noticed that Susan did not catch up. She turned around and saw Susan standing in front of the counter in a daze.
“What is it? You want to buy perfume?” Returning to Susan’s side, Ingrid picked the perfumes with her.
“Ladies, what kind do you prefer? We have a lot of styles. You can have a try,” the sales lady said.
As she spoke, she picked the bottles up and introduced the perfumes, “For example, this is the new arrival of this month. The taste is mainly sweet…”
As the sales lady introduced, Ingrid wore a few of them with great interest. Then she picked out two of them and decided to buy them. However, Susan hesitated for a long time, not being able to make up her mind.
“What is it? Nothing you like?” Ingrid asked.
Susan shook her head and frowned. “None of them smells like that one.”
“What one?”
.
“Ma’am, what type do you like? Or do you know what style it is? or more accurately, what brand or series is it? I can help you find it,” the sales lady hurriedly said.
. Looking at her, Susan shook her head again and pulled Ingrid forward. When she passed by the perfume counter of
other brands, she stopped to continue searching. However, she still could not find the one she wanted.
Seeing how disappointed Susan was, Ingrid was very curious. “What exactly are you looking for?”
“I don’t know either. Anyway, I remember the smell. None of these smell like that,” Susan said hesitantly.
“Where did you smell it?” Since Susan could remember the smell, she would definitely remember where she smelled it.
Susan didn’t say anything.
Because of Susan’s silence, Ingrid became even more curious. “Don’t you remember?”
“It’s not like that…” Susan stammered, as if she found it hard to say it out loud. “It’s… I’smelled it on that woman.”
Ingrid did not know who Susan was talking about at first.
“That woman…” Ingrid paused, and then she suddenly reacted. “You mean the woman Simon is going to marry?”
Susan’s eyes dimmed. She lowered her head and nodded.
“What the hell? So, you have been looking for the perfume worn by that woman? What are you thinking?” Ingrid gently poked Susan’s forehead with her finger, feeling sorry for Susan. “You don’t think that by finding the perfume she wore and wearing the same perfume, you can get Simon back, right?”
Ingrid’s words were very straightforward, but she was right. It was exactly what Susan was thinking.
Susan was desperate, and she would practically do anything just to get Simon back. When she passed by the perfume counter, she remembered that she had smelled a faint perfume on that woman that day. It smelt great. The scent of
the perfume was faint, but it lingered on the tip of her nose for a long time.
That day, after Susan ran out of the Palmer’s home, she rubbed her nose with hatred for a long time, wanting to erase the woman’s scent. Later, she suddenly had a thought. Maybe it was because of this smell that Simon was attracted to the woman. He was deeply fascinated by the woman!
Susan looked for it in the perfume department for a long time, yet she couldn’t find it. She was a bit disappointed.
“Forget it. I know she is a perfumer. Maybe she blended it herself. There’s nowhere to buy it!” Susan said, a little upset.
Ingrid shook her head repeatedly. “Look at you. You give up so easily. Why didn’t I realize before that you weren’t perseverant at all? What makes you woo Simon for so many years?”
Because back then, Susan still believed that she had a chance.
Back then, she knew that Simon was single, and he didn’t have feelings for anyone. Thus, Susan firmly believed that she had a chance. She firmly believed that she and he were a destined match. However, since the day she saw the way Simon looked at that woman, Susan’s confidence for so many years vanished at once.
Simon had never looked at Susan in the same way. Never!
“Forget it. She may have blended it herself. I can’t find it anyway. And I don’t know how to blend it!” Susan smiled self-mockingly. She laughed at herself for being so stupid. How could she win over a man with a bottle of perfume?
“Are you a fool or what?” Ingrid grabbed Susan. Then she said, “Maybe you don’t, but someone does! Is she the only perfumer in the world? She is not that good. If you think the perfume will work, then go and find it! Find a capable perfumer and blend a better perfume. You don’t have to be like her!”
Susan was silent.
She was tempted by Ingrid’s words. Susan was already about to give up, but she regained some hope now that Ingrid had said this.
Ingrid was right. Silvia was not the only perfumer in the world. There were many top-notch perfumers. It was not impossible to get a better perfume. It was just a matter of money.
“But… Maybe it’s not the perfume…” Susan said hesitantly.
“Think about it from a different angle. What if you’re right? What if it is? You have already persisted for so long. Since there is a chance, you have to give it a try. If you don’t try, how will you know if it will work? Anyway, things have already come to this point, right?”:
Every word that Ingrid said made Susan more resolute. Ingrid was right. If she didn’t try, how would she know if it would work?
“Then… Do you know any top-notch perfumers?” Susan thought about it and asked.
“I…” After a pause, Ingrid said, “You know that my family is in real estate. It has nothing to do with fashion or beauty products. I’m afraid I can’t help you with this. You have to find a perfumer yourself. But it’s not a difficult thing. You can get whatever perfumer you want as long as your offer is tempting enough!”
“You’re right!” Susan nodded hard. “I should try with every chance I get!”
“This is for Grandpa. Ask him to light it in his room every night, but don’t put it on the bed.”
Silvia said softly as she handed Zain a delicately wrapped box.
“Why don’t you give it to him yourself?” Though saying that, Zain still took the box. “What is it?”
“It’s a scented candle. It’s good for sleeping. I hope it can be helpful for Grandpa.” Silvia heaved a sigh.
She did a lot of research to make the scented candle. She had never been more careful. After all, her grandfather was getting old. The candle should be compatible with his condition and helpful as well. However, it was not medicine after all. It could only play a supporting role.
“If it’s possible, let Grandpa go to the hospital for a checkup.”
“You know his temper,” Zain said indifferently as he placed the box in the bag.
“But…”
Without waiting for her to speak, Zain suddenly asked, “When are you getting married to Simon?”
