“Emily.” Seraphina sat down and looked up at Emily, her expression serious. “If you to choose between
Prosperian Company and me, which one…”
“I’d choose you!” Emily interrupted Seraphina without hesitation.
Seraphina was momentarily stunned but then smiled.
had
Seraphina thought, ‘Actually, Emily is doing great here. She has a stable job with a good sry.
Though she has a fiery temper and dislikesplicated rtionships, she is truly professional, making
thispany a perfect fit for her.
‘I won’t be staying in Prosperian Company anymore, but Emily may still be implicated to some extent. I
feel sorry for her.
‘I didn’t expect Emily to choose me without any hesitation. Looks like I gained something here.
They exchanged a smile, understanding each other without saying a word.
“By the way, have you decided to join Aroma Delight?” Now that they had rified their feelings, Emily
asked directly, “Um… Can Ie with you?”
Emily was cautious not to be a burden to Seraphina.
Usually, job-hopping happened either individually or as a team. It was umon for just one person to
move. Besides, Emily was just a rtively unknown assistant in the industry, so she wasn’t sure if
Aroma Delight would ept her.
“Um…” Seraphina pondered for a moment. She hadn’t discussed Emily’s request with Aroma Delight
yet.
Dashiell had arranged for her to go to Aroma Delight. If she wanted to bring Emily along…
“No worries! I can search for another job. I have a diploma and excellent skills. I’m sure I can find a
suitable position.”
Sensing Seraphina’s hesitation, Emily quickly spoke in a rxed tone.
“No, it’s not a problem. I’ll talk to Aroma Delight about it. Don’t worry. If you’re willing toe with me,
I’ll take you wherever I go.”
Seraphina made her decision not only based on their rtionship but also because Emily was truly a
valuable assistant to her. It made sense for Seraphina to bring Emily along.

“So, when will we move there?”
Seraphina replied, “I’ll have a conversation with them first. And there are still some loose ends I need to
tie up here.”
“Are you talking about the documents? Don’t worry. I have a backup on myputer!” But then Emily
grew angry again. “But they took the documents away!”
“It’s alright,” Seraphina waved her hand dismissively. “Julian is nning a press conference. He wants
me to admit that I lied and fabricated everything.”
Emily was infuriated. “What? How shameless! We spent so many days developing those perfumes.
You put so much effort and hard work into them. How can he take all the credit and even nder you?
He has no moralpass whatsoever!”
Emily understood it better than anyone else.
They were the ones conducting the core research and repeated experiments. Sometimes, during
critical stages, they didn’t even have time to eat, and they would only rest briefly on the bench at night,
afraid of any mishap with the data.
Emily had gone through the toughest and most exhausting times with Seraphina, so she was the
angriest about the situation.
“Julian probably doesn’t have that either,” Seraphina said sarcastically with a smile. “I won’t let him
seed. It won’t be so easy for him.”
“Seraphina, what do you need me to do?” Emily was smart and quickly grasped her intent.
“I don’t need you to do anything, but I need you to do nothing,” Seraphina said meaningfully, but Emily
didn’t understand this time. “Seraphina, what do you mean?”
“Think about it. What does Julian fear the most when he asks me to publicly admit fraud?”
Seeing Emily’s confused expression, Seraphina continued, “Witnesses and evidence against him. He
has the evidence, and the witness…”
“Is it me?” Emily pointed to herself, suddenly understanding.
“Then I can testify for you!” Emily ced her hands on her waist and said assertively. “We can expose
his deception and let everyone know what kind of person he is.”
Seraphina smiled and shook her head. “No, don’t do that. What you need to do now is
take a vacation.”
“Take a vacation?”

“Yes! Julian doesn’t need you to testify for him. He just wants to make sure that no one will testify for
me, so he’ll be pleased if you leave now.”
Additionally, if Emily resigned at such a critical moment, Julian, being petty-minded, would definitely not
let her go. cking off at work would be a good choice.
But Emily was still concerned. “Seraphina, I should stand with you in this situation. How can I run
away? I’m not a coward.”
“Silly girl, we’re never cowards,” Seraphina chuckled and said. “Besides, I have a n. You’re willing to
Emily was still confused, but seeing Seraphina’s determined expression and
considering their long history of working together, Emily simply nodded. “Alright, I’ll do as you say.”
After leaving the studio, Seraphina was heading to Aroma Delight. While waiting for a taxi on the
roadside, a ck Maybach stopped in front of her.
Seraphina was surprised to see Dashiell’s handsome face as the window rolled down.
“Get in,” said Dashiell.
Seraphina pursed her lips and then got in the car.
“What are you doing here?” she asked.
He even knew where she was.
“Don’t you want to see me?” Dashiell turned to look at Seraphina as the car started moving.
“Of course!” Seraphina naturally held Dashiell’s arm and said. “I’m just… a little surprised.”
“So, are you happy to see me?”
Seraphinaughed and said, “Yes, of course! But where are we going now? I was nning to go to
Aroma Delight. You know, I haven’tpleted the onboarding process yet.”

Seraphina had only briefly talked with the person in charge of Aroma Delightst night. In fact, she
found the address of Aroma Delight on the inte.
Before that, Seraphina didn’t know much about Aroma Delight, and she felt it necessary to have a
proper discussion with the people there.

Not today. Maybe tomorrow, Dashiell casually answered,
“Why?”
Seraphina thought, It’s not toote now. Do we have anything else to do?
Dashiell remained silent but raised his hand, pointing backward,
Seraphina turned her head and saw the cars behind them. Wait! It seemed like a car was following
them.
After observing for a while, Seraphina was sure that they were being followed. She thought, Are they
following met Who could it be? Did Julian send them?
“Then what should we…
Seraphina was about to ask what they should do when Dashiell suddenly put his arm around her
shoulder. Almost at the same time, the car suddenly elerated.
The sudden eleration caused Seraphina to lose her bnce, and she fell onto Dashiell involuntarily.
