These so-called new products were made using the same formula as before. It had only been a little
adjustment to the proportion of ingredients. It was pretty uninspiring and disappointing.
She had assumed there would be unexpected help. Indeed, such an undertaking required luck.
“If it’s so easy to get inspiration, there would be a lot of professional perfumers.” Dashiell grabbed her
and took her into his arms. “Have you eaten yet?”
“Yes, I have. Noticing the look in his eyes, she hurriedly explained, “I didn’t go into the kitchen. I got off
work early today and had some food outside.”
With narrowed eyes, he spoke in a melancholic voice. “Didn’t you wait for me?”
“I…was hungry.” It was not a big deal, but she felt guilty as if she had made some big
mistakes.
Seraphina glanced at him. “You haven’t eaten yet? How about ordering takeout?”
After saying that, she planned to take out her phone and order takeout.
“I don’t want takeout. You’ll go out to dinner with me!”
“But I’ve already had it!”
Dashiell smiled proudly and said, “Then keep me company!”
In the end, he took her out to have dinner with him..
On the way, Seraphina didn’t plan to eat anything but watch him eat, but she was
wrong.
The third plate of beef had been served, but she didn’t feel she had enough. It was really tasty.
As he watched her eat contentedly, Dashiell sipped wine carefully, appearing graceful and delicate. He
seemed to be the one who had come with her after eating.
“Do you want some more?” he asked caringly.
“No… thanks!” She waved her hand and exhaled. “I will go overboard and die if I eat anymore!”
“How about some apples for digestion?” he asked in a “friendly” way, raising his eyebrows.
“You can just tell me what I have done to offend you. Why do you want me to die from overeating?”
She touched her stomach with one hand and felt that she had eaten too much.
“I recall asking you to come keep me company. But you couldn’t stop eating. So you are blaming me
now?” Dashiell said meaningfully, setting down his fork. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
Seraphina couldn’t talk back.
What he said was true, but it was he who brought her to this new restaurant, and she couldn’t resist it
as the food smelled tempting to her. At that thought, she said with righteous indignation, “Of course, it’s
your fault!”
“Okay Dashiell nodded thoughtfully. “So it’s also my fault that you want to go on a business trip without
telling me?”
“You…” Seraphina choked and looked at him with her eyes wide open. “How do you know?”
As soon as she finished her words, she felt that she had asked a stu pid question. How could he not
know?
She thought, ‘Well, working in the same company as your husband is not cool, especially if he is your
boss. If anything happens, he will learn about it right away!
She sighed and murmured with grievance, “Well, as you know, this is the company’s arrangement. I
have to accept what is arranged for me as an employee.”
“You sound resentful to me. If you don’t want to go, I…
Before he could finish his words, Seraphina hurriedly interrupted, “Who said I didn’t want to go? I just
didn’t have time to tell you about it yet.”
“In Kweaville, the morning and evening temperatures differ significantly. Don’t forget to bring your coat,”
he said without mentioning anything further.
Seraphina was a little surprised that it would go so smoothly. She had expected him to put forward
different opinions.
Considering that the company had organized it, he probably knew earlier. It was foolish. of her to fear
his disapproval.
Seraphina was relieved that Dashiell did not express any disapproval of her going on a business trip. It
would be simpler for her to carry out tasks in the future after such a good start.
Although her work was supposed to be steady, she occasionally had to travel outside to
gather materials and get ideas. She occasionally had to go to events as well to learn from other
people’s experiences.
It was going to be more difficult in the future if Dashiell refused to let her go on a regular business trip.
The fact that he did not place any restrictions on her independence made her much more favorable
toward him.
Julian stared straight ahead and refused. I disagree.”
Cowled and nagged him. “Julian, don’t do this! I know

Curling up against him, Vivian you don’t want me to be away, but this is a good opportunity. Think about
it. It’s been at while since I attended such a perfumery.conference. Besides, Mr. Larson is going with
me, which is even more…”
“I don’t want you to go because of him, Julian interrupted her. “Anyway, you are not allowed to go this
time.”
“Who will go if I don’t? What about the essential oil and the formula? What about the company’s
business? Who is more suitable than me to go? Or would you rather support a newcomer and abandon
me?” She immediately shouted out, “Who is it? Is it that girl named Ruth in the company? The way you
look at her seems suspicious to me.”
Julian frowned and scolded, “What are you talking about? I only date you and no one else. I don’t know
what girl you are talking about.”
“Then why don’t you let me go?” She pouted, shaking his arm. “Julian, I’m going! And I don’t go there
for myself. I am going there on behalf of Prosperian Company. It will be easier to supply goods and
expand the distribution network if we can open a new market in Kweaville. Besides, our company is
short of talented employees now. Maybe I can find some talents for you this time.”
Julian’s heart softened as she tilted her head and blinked at him with moist eyes.
She had her way of manipulating him because she knew him too well. Like usual, she had
unconsciously softened his heart, so he softly responded, “Vivi, it’s not that I don’t allow you to go. We’ll
go if my schedule permits. But I don’t have the time right now. And I can’t rest assured that you will go
there by yourself.”
“Who said I would go by myself? I am going with Mr. Larson. He’s also been invited as a distinguished
guest. It must be good to go with him!” Vivian remarked happily.
“It’s because of him that I disagree!” Julian’s voice grew louder suddenly out of fury. “Vivi, didn’t you
notice the look in his eyes when he glanced at you?”
Vivian was taken aback.
After giving it some thought, she declared, “Well, no, I don’t think there’s anything

With him! Besides, he is a socialite whom your mother introduced to us. He can’t be like that. Do you
think they all love me as much as you do? I think you’re overthinking.”
