Tina did not immediately respond, instead, she quietly watched her, waiting for her to continue.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!
Elsa felt nervous and exined further, “Don’t get me wrong, Tina. I’m not saying Jared treats you poorly, just that with the Farrell family’s vast wealth and deep connections, you wouldn’t have to suffer any indignities if we were more confident ourselves.”
Tina nodded slightly, “You make sense.”
Elsa breathed a sigh of relief, “I’m d you understand. I hope I didn’t overstep.”
“Not at all,” Tina sipped her water, “I can also work at thepany and provide some new perfume forms to quickly build its reputation.”
Elsa, feeling like her thoughts had been read, could only chuckle nervously and sip her water to hide her tension, “You’re right, it’s a win-win, isn’t it?”
Tina raised an eyebrow, a shadowy light hidden in her eyes.
After dinner, it was gettingte, and Heath drove down to the mall to pick Elsa up to go home.
“Tina, let me take you both back,” Heath called out through the rolled-down window.
“No need, we drove here,” Tina declined calmly.
“Alright then, we’ll be off. Take care,” Heath waved and left with Elsa.
Tina watched their car disappear into the distance, her gaze slightly narrowed.
Jared draped his coat over Tina’s shoulders, gently tapping her cheek, “Getting impatient?”
Tina nodded, “More than I expected, it’s boring.”
Jared wrapped his arms around Tina’s waist and led her to the car, “Then let’s take it slow, as long as you’re happy.”
Tina smiled, “Great!”
Meanwhile, Heath parked his car by the roadside.
“Did she agree?” he asked.
Elsa nodded, “Yes, she should join thepany soon. She was always Q, offering a few perfume forms is easy for her. Now we’ll see how much she’s willing to contribute.”
Heath smiled satisfactorily, “She’s a genius. Using such talent can better serve our country.”
Elsa looked at Heath, her eyes curving slightly, “You’re right.”
As Elsa had anticipated, Tina actively took a position at Hugo’spany.
This surprised Hugo, “Tina, are you sure you want to start now? It’s just the beginning, and it will be tough. Maybe wait until things stabilize a bit so it can be easier.”
Tina countered, “Dad, do you think I can’t help stabilize thepany?”
Hugo quickly shook his hands, “No, no, I didn’t mean that. I just don’t want you to overwork yourself. You’re still young, ying should be your priority, not getting stuck in the office with no free time.”
“I’ll rest when I’m tired, don’t worry.”
Tina then moved back into Hugo’s house.
Hugo had always kept a room for her, and everything was arranged just as she liked it.
Tina could finally get a good night’s sleep.
Hugo and Jennie were indeed as busy with thepany as Elsa had said, constantly discussing various test reports and barely managing to keep up.
Sometimes, Zackary had to wait with a hungry stomach for his parents toe home.
With Tina’s arrival, their workload had eased significantly, especially with the perfume forms.
Although Natalie’s forms were sufficient to support thepany, Hugo still wanted to develop new ones to ensure continuous innovation.
“Tina’s form is quite good; it has a fresh scent like the air after rain, rich and enduring. I like it,” Jennie said, marking a check on one of the form sheets she was holding.
“I think this one is also suitable; it feels more like natural wilderness,” Hugo picked another.
The two had differing opinions. While both could beunched, the investment required to release two fragrances would be substantial-a tough feat for a startup.
During their disagreement, Elsa walked over and picked up both form sheets.
The numbers were detailed, and the ingredients precisely listed.
Elsa scanned from top to bottom, her gaze deepening.
“Mom, Dad, both are good. Why don’t we ask Tina which one she wants tounch first?” Elsa suggested, trying to mediate.
Meanwhile, Tina was ying with Legos with Zackary. Hearing her name, she said, “Bobby, draw lots.”
Zackary excitedly pulled one of the two crumpled papers on the table.
It was Jennie’s choice. Smiling, she said, “I won. Let’s go with this one. I’ll meet with the sales department now to discuss theunch.”
With the fragrance decided, Hugo also prepared to discuss production schedules with the factory, “Elsa, Tina, we’re off to the office. Stay home and order some good food if you’re hungry, don’t settle for less!”
While dressing, Hugo left some cash on the table.
Elsa shook her head resignedly, “These two, always working.”
Tina just smiled without a word.
Elsa patted Zackary’s head, “Isn’t it time to read? Didn’t kindergarten give you reading homework?”
Zackary stuck out his tongue, “Okay, I’ll study seriously.”
Watching Zackary return to his room, their smiles gradually faded.
Elsa picked up the form from the table, “Tina, you’re really a genius. This fragrance smells amazing; it’s sure to be a hit.”
“As long as you like it,” Tina responded nonchntly.
Elsa eyed the precise ratios on the form, marveling at the exquisite calctions beyond the ordinary.
Tina continued to y with the Legos, seemingly oblivious to Elsa’s actions.
Eventually, Elsaughed, “With your talent, you could make a significant impact in a national research institute.”
“Do you know how to get into a national-level research institute?” Tina replied casually.
Elsa was startled and looked at Tina alertly.
She found Tina’s focus still on the mountain of Legos, not on her.
Elsa rxed a bit, tidying up the table and storing the misceneous tasks left by Hugo and herself in a cab in the living room, where they kept unimportantpany documents.
“I’m just an ordinary citizen; how would I know about those things?” Elsaughed, secretly slipping the fragrance form into her clothing, “Tina, I’m going out to buy some food. What would you like?”
“Anything is fine,” Tina finally looked up.
Elsa nodded, changed her shoes, and left the house.
Closing the door, Elsa nced at the fragrance form in her hand, a meaningful smile ying on her lips.
