After sending Mike to the hotel and making an appointment to pick him up in the evening, Julian and

Vivian left the hotel.

When there were only the two of them, Vivian could finally ask, “Julian, who is this Mr. Larson? Why

are you so nice to him? I don’t think he takes us seriously at all. Why do you flatter him like that? A

great perfumer? I’ve never heard of him. Maybe he’s just bragging about himself!”

After pondering for a few seconds, Vivian still didn’t change her mind. She went on, “You made me

dress up for so long just to pick up this Mike? But he hasn’t done anything since he got here. Why don’t

we see if he is really good before we make a decision? What if he’s a fraud?”

Julian sighed, “He’s not a liar. Don’t worry! It wasn’t easy to get him to help me.”

Putting his hands on the steering wheel, Julian breathed a sigh of relief. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

So far the problem hadn’t been resolved, but since Mike was here, Julian believed that things would

only work in his favor.

After all, no matter how good Seraphina was, she was just an inexperienced young girl who could

never be compared to Mike.

Hearing Julian’s words, Vivian suddenly remembered the question she was interrupted from asking

carlier. She asked again, “By the way, the Mrs. Barker you mentioned… Is she… Is she your mother?”

Vivian’s tone was cautious.

Julian was silent and then nodded.

Julian’s mother, Janet, remarried many years ago. Julian’s stepfather was from a prominent family and

it took a lot of effort for Janet to marry his stepfather.

It was not easy to marry into a prominent family. Janet was bright and beautiful, but her new husband’s

family was still very hard on her.

Janet used to be the best actress, but her new husband’s family didn’t like her career, so she stopped

acting. As for Julian, her son with her ex-husband, he was abandoned by Janet.

Julian was raised by his grandparents. Julian’s last name was his biological father’s last name, and he

never called Janet Mom in public or in front of a third person. Instead, he called her Mrs. Barker. Few

people knew that Janet was Julian’s mother.

Seraphina didn’t know about it either.

Julian seldom contacted his mother, so Vivian didn’t know about this, and she didn’t. realize it until

Julian mentioned this Mrs. Barker.

But then Vivian felt relieved.

“Since he was introduced to you by your mother, it must work. That’s right, how could I forget about

your mother? She won’t leave you alone since we’re in trouble now. With her connections and power,

Seraphina can’t beat us!” Vivian grinned.

“I don’t want to bother her until there’s no other way. She also… She doesn’t want me to bother her,”

Julian lowered his head and said in a low voice.

Seeing that Julian was in a bad mood, Vivian said in a soothing voice, “Well, it’s not easy for her either.

Didn’t you say she lived a prudent life in that family? Since she’s willing to help us now, she still loves

you. You’re her son.”

“Maybe,” Julian said drily.

Janet seldom contacted Julian or paid attention to him after she remarried. When she occasionally

went back to Julian’s grandmother’s house, she would buy novel gifts for Julian, but she rarely smiled.

Julian knew that Janet had had another baby after she remarried, and he knew that he would never be

able to call Janet Mom in public. However, he always wanted to succeed. so he could prove to her that

he was living a good life even without her.

Now Julian was about to make a name for himself, but he was in such big trouble that he had to ask

Janet for help.

Julian was surprised when Janet called him, but he… He had no reason to refuse.

Now Julian just hoped that Mike could save his company and his career.

In the evening, when Vivian went to pick up Mike, her attitude was obviously different.

Vivian wasn’t sure if Mike was a liar or how good he was, but hearing Julian say that it was his mother

who introduced Mike to help, she felt relieved.

The people Mrs. Barker reached were Bianda’s upper class, so Vivian was sure Mike would be able to

help her and Julian.

Vivian smiled, “Mr. Larson, we can’t thank you more for coming to help!”

Vivian took the initiative to pour Mike wine. She was wearing a red dress, which was almost the same

color as the red wine in the bottle. When she bent over, the tanned skin on her chest contrasted with

the red dress, which made her look even more

In response, Mike remained expressionless. He said without looking up, “I owe Mrs. Barker a favor, so

I’ll do what I promised.”

Julian nodded and echoed, “Yes. Mr. Larson, this must be

After taking a sip of the wine, Mike slowly raised his head and glanced at Vivian.

His gaze slowly shifted from Vivian’s forehead to the tip of her nose, her lips, and her chin… Finally, his

gaze landed on Vivian’s chest.

Julian didn’t say anything.

Julian was irritated, but considering his need for Mike’s help and Mike’s status, Julian gripped his fork

and said nothing.

“Are you also a perfumer?” Mike asked.

Vivian was stunned for a moment and then nodded hurriedly. She blurted out, “Yeah, I’m also a

perfumer! But I can’t compare with you. You are a master, and I am only an apprentice!”

Vivian smiled curtly and acted modestly.

“I thought you’d won a lot of awards and created a few popular perfumes,” Mike said. lightly, picking up

his glass of wine.

Vivian didn’t understand what Mike meant and subconsciously looked at Julian, who was also

confused.

Vivian continued awkwardly, ‘It was just a fluke. I’m still inexperienced and I have a lot to learn from

you!”

Hearing Vivian’s reply, Mike sneered, “A fluke? A perfumer can succeed with talent, hard work, and a

golden opportunity, but he will never succeed by a so-called fluke!”

“Uh…” Vivian stammered.

Vivian was embarrassed and didn’t know what to say.

Mike continued, “Since you are half a perfumer, why can’t you tell the difference. between the

formulas?”

Mike’s words were so sharp, and he looked at her with a scrutinizing gaze, which made Vivian

uncomfortable all over. Biting her lower lip, Vivian blushed and snapped, “Mr. Larson, it’s not that I can’t

tell the difference, it’s…”

“Seraphina is just too devious!” Vivian called out angrily.
