Chapter 279


    Lily had no idea what was going on.


    “I’m sure Ms. Gray hasn’t told you yet. So, what’s happening is that thepany has received an


    invitation to the perfumerypetition, and thepany has decided to send you as our


    representative,” George exined as he pushed a purple invitation letter toward her.


    Lily was shocked. “The biannual perfumerypetition?”


    She was no stranger to thispetition. Thispetition urred every two years to select the best


    perfumers in the industry. As thepetition aimed to find the finest young blood among perfumers,


    famous perfumes in the industry were not allowed to participate.


    Of course, rookies were allowed to participate in trying their luck if they thought they were skilled


    enough. Nevertheless, someone must refer them. Therefore, most participants were juniors or

    intermediate perfumers who wanted to win the attention of the elite perfumers and make a name for


    themselves in the industry.


    “Why me?” Lily questioned. She was new to thepany. There were so many other perfumers in the


    “That’s because you’re the most suitable candidate,” George answered with a smile.


    However, Lily did not think it was as simple as it sounded. She gazed at the invitation letter silently.


    That puzzled Jenny. “What’s wrong? Do you not want to go? It’s a good opportunity to make a name for


    yourself in the perfume industry. Thepetition will happen in Westwood. It’ll also be a good


    opportunity for you to expand your knowledge. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”


    “So, am I the only one that’s going?” Lily asked again.


    Lily had never doubted her abilities. With the efforts she had put into perfume research and


    development in recent years, alongside her umted experiences, she was even beginning to


    doubt whether what went wrong previously was due to her own mistake.


    However, she knew that the world was full of talented people. Although she believed she was capable,


    Lily had no idea how strong she was.


    “Thepany will arrange for an assistant to apany you,” George said.


    “Will Ms. Gray not be going with me?” Lily nced at Jenny, thinking that Jenny would go with her.


    Jenny shook her head. “There are tasks I mustplete, and I need to stick to the schedule.”


    “In that case, there’s no need to arrange for anyone to follow me. I’ll get Olivia toe,” Lily suggested


    after some thought.


    However, Jenny instantly shot down this idea. “You’ll be going to Westwood. You’ll need someone who


    knows the ce to arrange your meals, amodations, and other kinds of stuff like getting in touch


    with the organizers. Olivia has never done such a thing before. She won’t be able to handle it.”


    Jenny’s exnation sounded reasonable, not to mention that this was thepany’s arrangement, so


    Lily did not question it further. “When do I leave?”


    “Next week.”


    “Next week?” Lily was stunned. It was already Friday. Next week would mean she would leave in just a


    few days. “But the ns we made…”


    “Right. We won’t be able to make it.” Jenny shrugged helplessly. “The schedule is conflicting. You’ll


    have to postpone your vacation. After all, this is for the betterment of you and thepany. We’ll n


    another trip next time.”


    George decided to chime in, “That’s right. I’ll be waiting for your triumphant return. When it’s over, I’ll let


    you two have a long holiday!”


    All of this rendered Lily speechless.


    ‘Triumphant return? He made it sound like I’m about to go to war!’


    Once the matter was finalized, Jenny walked out of the office and patted Lily on the shoulder. “This


    shows thepany’s trust in you. Not many are qualified to participate in thispetition, and not


    everypany is eligible to receive an invitation.”


    After a pause, Jenny looked around before leaning toward Lily and said, “MN Inc. isn’t qualified.”


    Although Lily raised her eyebrows, she did not care much about this information. To be honest, she felt


    a little restless right now. She was excited by this opportunity. After all, she had always wanted to prove


    herself. She wanted to know where her level of fragrance appreciation was at.


    “All right, I''m going to prep now,” Lily replied as she nodded.
