Chapter 228: Chapter 228: Exclusive Use
Walking through the corridor, Nora Northwood brought Manager Morton into the scent room, where Manager Morton was captivated by the walls covered in test papers.
"What is this?"
Seeing the interest piqued in the other party, Nora was secretly delighted and explained, "These are scent test papers. Each paper has a unique number printed on it, which is the formula of fragrance ingredients."
She took a paper from the clip, "Manager Morton, you can have a sniff."
Manager Morton took it, smelled it at the tip of his nose, and after a few seconds, returned it to Nora, commenting on the scent he just experienced, "It smells a bit like osmanthus."
"You got it right, it’s osmanthus. We’ve added some woody notes to the base of this fragrance."
"No wonder it doesn’t smell overpowering."
"Try to feel its middle and base notes, with an evening breeze, branches mingling with some floral scents... as if strolling along a forest path, with fellow walkers around."
Following Nora’s words, Manager Morton seemed to step into the world she depicted and immediately decided, "We can further discuss matters regarding collaboration."
"Sure."
Nora led the way to the office. With the change in their moods, the flow of air around them seemed to slow down as well.
She quickly devised a new plan for Rhea.
"VK can customize products with different fragrance notes according to your diverse customer types, dividing the spa rooms into primary, secondary, and tertiary tiers. My promise to you is three types of aromatherapy."
Manager Morton was very pleased with Nora’s proposal, but had an additional condition, "I need to see samples before finalizing a partnership with VK."
"Of course, looking forward to collaborating with Rhea."
Finally, both parties reached an agreement to deliver a sample within ten working days.
Over these past few years at the flower shop, Nora has mastered nearly three thousand kinds of spices, producing a sample in a short time is no big deal for her.
...
Evening, seven o’clock.
The bright moonlight streamed through the open glass window, spreading a layer of cool white on the living room floor.
Nora leaned against a cushion, flipping through her notebook of recorded and summarized formulas.
Until she heard a noise at the entrance, she ran over barefoot, seeing the man in a suit returning home, she cheerfully said, "Jasper, I’ve got good news!"
"Let’s hear it."
Jasper Sinclair changed into slippers and brought her back to the living room.
He buried his head in Nora’s neck, inhaling her scent.
"Today I closed a major deal in the beauty industry..." Nora recounted the conversation she had with Manager Morton.
Jasper listened attentively to her story, not forgetting to pop a grape into her mouth during the pauses.
The dish of grapes on the coffee table quickly dwindled down to just their stems.
"Here’s to you signing the deal smoothly. In the meantime, you can start preparing for the Singles’ Day pre-sale plan."
Jasper’s words served as a great reminder to Nora—Singles’ Day, the big sales event, was approaching fast.
"Good thing you reminded me, or I would have forgotten all about it."
As she spoke, Nora left a big kiss on the man.
Jasper seized the opportunity to capture her tender lips, the sweet fragrance of grapes lingering and dancing between their tongues.
Lately, Nora often worked late at the studio, meeting only at nine or ten each night.
Jasper couldn’t bear to exhaust her; tonight, he finally got to see her come home early.
"We’re still in the living room," Nora maintained the last bit of her rationality and reminded him aloud.
"Let’s go to the bedroom."
Jasper released the hand playing with the end of her hair and carried her horizontally off the sofa.
