Chapter 290


    Jenny, standing outside the door, was worried, so she decided to call Olivia. "Has Lily mentioned


    anything to you about new products?"


    "No. What''s wrong?" After leaving the hospital, Olivia went shopping for groceries before heading


    home and cleaning the house. The vacuum cleaner was rumbling in the background, and she could not


    hear Jenny too well.


    “Lily went into theb and locked herself inside. I tried to talk to her, but she ignored me. I don''t think


    she''s in a good state. I''ma little worried."


    Upon hearing this, Olivia was stunned and quickly turned off the vacuum cleaner. She subconsciously


    mumbled, "Is it because of what happened today? She looked okay when she left earlier, though."


    Jenny was curious. "What happened today?"


    “Long story. Lily is in theb, right? I''ll go check in on her." Olivia quickly put aside her things, took off


    her apron, washed her hands, and hurried to theb.


    There was no response from inside theb. Helpless, Jenny could only sit on the sofa outside and wait.


    When office hours were over, the staff left one after another. Jenny had sat there for about an hour


    before Olivia arrived on the scene, panting heavily.


    "Is she still inside?"


    Jenny pouted in the direction of theboratory. Olivia nodded and ran over to knock on the door. "Lily,


    It’s Olivia. Please open the door. What are you doing inside? Let mee and help you. Lily—"


    Before Olivia finished speaking, theb door swung open, apanied by a horrid smell. Olivia was


    the first to bear the brunt. She was stunned for a moment before she started to cough uncontrobly.

    She could barely stop.


    Jenny raised her head when she heard the door opening, but before getting close, she was


    overwhelmed by the strong scent and started coughing as well. "W-What’s that smell?”


    Both of them were practically choking, but Lily seemed unaffected. She just looked at them and said,


    "Were you guys looking for me?"


    There was silence from Jenny and Olivia. They had knocked on the door while calling on to her


    repeatedly. Was Lily unaware?


    Even if they wanted to reply, they could not stop their coughing fits and could barely say a word.


    "I''m sorry. I forgot to turn on the venttion," Lily said. She turned to the side and flipped on the fan


    inside the room. The wind quickly took away the smell.


    When she regained control over herself, Olivia wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and looked


    around. "Lily, what were you doing in here? What was that pungent smell?"


    "It''s nothing. I wanted to try mixing some of the most intense and strong scents." As Lily walked out of


    theb, she seemed pretty gloomy. Today’s events had left her in a somber mood.


    So what do you get when you mix all the bad stuff?


    In the field of perfumery, sometimes, one would require making bold attempts. Lily had closed the door


    and immersed herself in what she was doing. She had paid little attention to whatever was happening


    outside the door.


    “You could’ve died in there!" Jenny said as she coughed again. "This idea of yours is a little too bold."


    "I think the effects were pretty good. I kept a few samples and will wait for the results toe out." Lily


    said in a serious tone as she pulled off her gloves.
