Chapter 2256


    The cafeteria hushed, and everyone nearby could pick up on the conversation.


    While Ste wasn''t familiar with the S-type essential oil, every seasoned Caline employee knew its


    significance.


    This particr blend was a key ingredient in high-end perfumes like "Dream Weaver". There was only


    a hundred milliliters of the essential oil in stock. It was rumored to have been identally created by


    Darcie. However, due to theck of recorded ingredients and proportions, this bottle became a unique


    treasure, reserved for special asions when someone of importance needed a custom perfume.


    With Caline possessing only this sole bottle, the news of its shattering left everyone stunned.


    Darcie''s expression darkened as she turned away and left.


    Ste intended to follow, but Wren halted her. "Ms. Hall, let''s forget about my issue. It''ll blow over soon.


    You don''t have to..."


    Ste met her gaze. "It won''t just blow over. Your tolerance will only embolden them. You need to show


    them you''re not someone to be trifled with, so they''ll think twice before crossing you."


    Wren hesitated.


    Without waiting for a response, Ste departed.


    Sonia wasn''t one to be careless. Such a valuable item would have surely been kept secure from


    ordinary hands. How could it have been broken?


    Rushing to the elevator, Ste arrived at the scene where a gathering had formed around the essential


    oil storage area.


    Sonia found herself encircled, everyone''s eyes on her as if she were a criminal. She appeared visibly


    shaken.


    Darcie stood nearby, brown ss shards littering the table. Though nothing remained on them, the air


    was thick with the scent of essential oils. Ste caught a hint of vetiver amidst the unfamiliar


    fragrances, each exuding a distinct aroma.


    Carefully, Darcie touched the broken pieces and instructed Aubrey to arrange for cleanup.


    Aubrey hesitated, murmuring, "Ms. Arnold, it''s toote. Water has been mixed with the essential oil,


    contaminating the oil."


    Darcie''s frustration red, and she let the ss pieces fall back onto the table, her expression cold and


    firm. "How many times must I stress the importance of this bottle? How could such a mistake ur?"


    Defeated, Aubrey responded, "There is a perfume consultation this afternoon. I asked Sonia to fetch


    some oils for the fragrance room. I never anticipated she would touch the S-type essential oil, let alone


    break it."


    Observing Sonia''s reaction, Ste noticed her tremblingshes.


    Darcie''s tone remained icy. "Is this your first day? How could you entrust such a crucial task to an


    intern?"


    Aubrey confided, "Sonia came with Ms. Hall''s rmendation, and you instructed US to look out for


    her. Thinking to give her more exposure and experience, I trusted her with the task. She''s usually so


    reliable; I never expected this oue..."


    Upon hearing "Sonia came with Ms. Hall''s rmendation", Ste realized the implications.


    This was aimed directly at her.

    In the past, to secure Sonia’s position, she had casually remarked that if Sonia caused trouble, she


    would resign. It had been a casual statement, with no intention of following through. But clearly,


    someone took it seriously and used Aubrey to remind her.
