Chapter 42


    However, Rebirth was just a subsidiary of La Beauté Group, and its rtionship with the parent


    uneasy. Under Nathaniel‘s constant urging, she returned to the office to investigate what had


    transpired. Meanwhile, Lily officially reported for duty at Rebirth. Although they had negotiated a deal,


    the contract had not been signed. An appointment was made the day before for Lily toe in for


    work.


    ording to Alexander, Lily should familiarize herself with thepany before officially starting work.


    Owing to Lily‘s vehement insistence, Alexander did not intervene too much. He left it to Edward


    Sullivan to handle Lily‘s onboarding. Even so, Lily knew that her arrival would not be peaceful.


    Walking through the office, Lily arrived at the general manager‘s office. Three people were waiting


    inside, two of whom she had met.


    “Mr. Will.”


    Sitting in the middle was George Will, the general manager of Rebirth, and the man on the left was the


    human resources department manager. Lily had met both of them before, while the woman beside


    them was a stranger to her.

    Seeing Lily‘s arrival, George stood, walked around the table, and patted her shoulder lightly. “Hello Lily,


    wee to Rebirth!” “Hello, Mr. Will, Mr. Thorn.” Lily greeted them politely, and then her eyes fell on


    the unknown woman. “Let me introduce you. This is Jenny Gray, the manager of our project


    department. She is a formidable businesswoman. I hope you two will get along well.” George said with


    a smile.


    “Hello, Ms. Gray.” Lily greeted her, but she had an intuition her future boss would be challenging. Sure


    enough, Jenny nodded slightly and stopped looking at her. “Mr. Will, the project department has no staff


    shortage.” “Of course, there is no shortage of staff, but there is a shortage of talents! Rebirth is still in


    its early stages of development, and we need talents to bring thepany to the next level! Lily has


    that talent, so you should take good care of


    her. It‘s also to inject fresh blood into your department.” George‘s words were insistent.


    However, Jenny was not someone who backed down quickly and was brave enough to speak up


    against her superior. “Does she? Why have I never heard of her in the industry?”


    “Oh yes, I remember now. There was an infamous ‘perfumer without a nose‘ called Lily Christian two or


    three years ago. Was that your namesake, or...” Her tone was confrontational, and her eyes were


    sharp.


    Faced with Jenny‘s doubts and undermining, Lily straightened her back, “It‘s not my namesake. That


    person was me.”


    “Oh?!” Jenny acted surprised. “Is the threshold for ‘talent‘ so low these days?”


    “There was some misunderstanding in what happened back then, Ms. Gray. It‘s been so long, I almost


    forgot about it, but you still remember,” Lily smiled, “It‘s clear that we are destined to work together.”


    Lily‘s lukewarm reaction made Jenny‘s eyes darken, “You can call it destiny, or you can call it


    misfortune.”


    Then Jenny‘s small smile faded, and she turned to Charles Thorn. “Mr. Thorn, I will not allow a person


    with no qualifications into my department. Also, she has a pendingwsuit. Personally, I think it is very


    unwise for thepany to recruit her at this time!”
