Chapter 236: Chapter 236: A Much-Desired Partnership
The issues with May Lawrence and Quentin Ford being resolved allowed Nora Northwood to fully immerse herself in her work.
She carefully placed the documents in her drawer, the metaphor in her eyes gradually transforming into determination.
Then, she donned her white lab coat.
Fragrance lab.
The contents of today’s negotiation were fully observed by Megan Underwood. She candidly expressed her thoughts: "Nora, it seems like you really want to collaborate with Rhea."
To her, Nora was not just a business partner but someone she personally nurtured.
To be honest, she didn’t quite understand Nora’s concessions today.
Nora neither confirmed nor denied, "Rhea is a chain enterprise. I investigated their background; they have hundreds of stores targeting high-end customers domestically, and they have international presence too. If VK can negotiate this deal, it means our fragrances are on their way to high society and the international market."
Megan carefully listened to her finish and looked at the determination radiating from Nora’s starry eyes, somewhat astounded.
She had to admit that once again, Nora had refreshed her understanding of her.
Her ambition wasn’t confined to this studio.
"Nora, Megan, are you busy?"
At this moment, a female voice came from the door. Lily Sloan carefully asked while holding a USB drive in hand, afraid of interrupting them.
Nora took off her mask, "Not busy."
"There’s been a result." As Lily spoke, she shook the USB in her hand.
"Let’s view it outside."
The investigation showed that the day before yesterday afternoon, a girl entered the studio under the guise of a customer, sneaking into the fragrance lab during her visit.
"Ebony" was probably lost during this time.
Lily appeared troubled, "Stanton City is so big, and this person took the item and ran, leaving no information. Where should we look for him?"
Nora tapped her forehead, "Silly, when you encounter a bad person, you should find the police officer. Even kids understand this. Don’t you remember?"
The atmosphere relaxed instantly, and Lily had a revelation, "Oh right! Nora is so smart!"
Immediately, Lily reported the incident to the police.
Unfortunately, the results wouldn’t come out anytime soon, and they needed to wait for a while.
...
In November, Stanton City was still scorching hot.
In the blink of an eye, it was time for Nora’s appointment with Manager Morton.
This time, she was thoroughly prepared, just waiting for the opportune moment.
To appear more formidable, Nora deliberately chose a professional outfit for this project meeting.
Within the cramped space, she barely restrained the tumultuous waves in her heart.
Afterward, she presented the samples she brought with her onto the table, along with a few scent strips.
"Manager Morton, here are the Ebony samples." As Nora introduced each item, her fingers moved sequentially, "And these are a few tentative scent strips, please feel free to sniff them."
Manager Morton’s gaze focused on the fragrance called "Ebony." As she took a light whiff, a hint of amazement flashed in her eyes.
Although not knowledgeable about fragrances, as an expert in perfumes, the scent she just smelled was different from any woody scents she had encountered before.
Afterward, Manager Morton raised her eyebrows and said, "It’s a scent I like."
"Ebony’s aroma can gradually calm one’s mind, and it can be used for sleep aid. For clients with longer projects, it’s recommended to place this fragrance,"
Following that, Manager Morton proceeded to smell the other scent strips, each one exceeding her expectations.
