Chapter 279 Lily had no idea what was going on. “I‘m sure Ms. Gray hasn‘t told you yet. So, what‘s
happening is that the company has received an invitation to the perfumery competition, and the
company has decided to send you as our representative,” George explained as he pushed a purple
invitation letter toward her. Lily was shocked. “The biannual perfumery competition?”
She was no stranger to this competition. This competition occurred every two years to select the best
perfumers in the industry. As the competition aimed to find the finest young blood among perfumers,
famous perfumes in the industry were not allowed to participate.
Of course, rookies were allowed to participate in trying their luck if they thought they were skilled
enough. Nevertheless, someone must refer them. Therefore, most participants were juniors or
intermediate perfumers who wanted to win the attention of the elite perfumers and make a name for
themselves in the industry.
“Why me?” Lily questioned. She was new to the company. There were so many other perfumers in the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtcompany, after all. This was a bit unfair to the others. “That‘s because you‘re the most suitable
candidate,” George answered with a smile.
However, Lily did not think it was as simple as it sounded. She gazed at the invitation letter silently.
That puzzled Jenny. “What‘s wrong? Do you not want to go? It‘s a good opportunity to make a name for
yourself in the perfume industry. The competition will happen in Westwood. It‘ll also be a good
opportunity for you to expand your knowledge. It‘s a once–in–a – lifetime opportunity.” “So, am I the
only one that‘s going?” Lily asked again. Lily had never doubted her abilities. With the efforts she had
put into perfume research and development in recent years, alongside her accumulated experiences,
she was even beginning to doubt whether what went wrong previously was due to her own mistake.
However, she knew that the world was full of talented people. Although she believed she was capable,
Lily had no idea how strong she was. “The company will arrange for an assistant to accompany you,”
George said. “Will Ms. Gray not be going with me?” Lily glanced at Jenny, thinking that Jenny would go
with her.
Jenny shook her head. “There are tasks I must complete, and I need to stick to the schedule.”
“In that case, there‘s no need to arrange for anyone to follow me. I‘ll get Olivia to come,” Lily suggested
after some thought. However, Jenny instantly shot down this idea. “You‘ll be going to Westwood. You‘ll
need someone who knows the place to arrange your meals, accommodations, and other kinds of stuff
like getting in touch with the organizers. Olivia has never done such a thing before. She won‘t be able
to handle it.”
Jenny‘s explanation sounded reasonable, not to mention that this was the company‘s arrangement, so
Lily did not question it further. “When do I leave?”
“Next week.”
“Next week?” Lily was stunned. It was already Friday. Next week would mean she would leave in just a
few days. “But the plans we made...”
“Right. We won‘t be able to make it.” Jenny shrugged helplessly. “The schedule is conflicting. You‘ll
have to postpone your vacation. After all, this is for the betterment of you and the company. We‘ll plan
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmanother trip next time.”
George decided to chime in, “That‘s right. I‘ll be waiting for your triumphant return. When it‘s over, I’ll let
you two have a long holiday!”
All of this rendered Lily speechless.
‘Triumphant return? He made it sound like I‘m about to go to war!’
Once the matter was finalized, Jenny walked out of the office and patted Lily on the slioulder.” This
shows the company‘s trust in you. Not many are qualified to participate in this competition, and not
every company is eligible to receive an invitation.”
After a pause, Jenny looked around before leaning toward Lily and said, “MN Inc. isn‘t qualified.”
Although Lily raised her eyebrows, she did not care much about this information. To be honest, she felt
a little restless right now. She was excited by this opportunity. After all, she had always wanted to prove
herself. She wanted to know where her level of fragrance appreciation was at. “All right, I‘m going to
prep now,” Lily replied as she nodded.
