Flash Marriage: She becomes Mrs. CEO after the Failed Dowry Talk

Chapter 274: Eden Garden

The exhibition ended, Nora Northwood left the vanity fair with "Corner."

Approaching noon, the sun quietly peeked out with a pointed head.

Nora re-entered the car, her hair swaying with her movements.

The fragrance bottle placed in front of the car contained her favorite woody scent, tranquil and desireless, a scent mixed with sandalwood powder.

Suddenly returning from the dazzling exhibition hall to an almost enclosed space, Nora felt a bit uneasy.

Her eyelids drooped, and now, in the quiet, her whole body exuded a faint sense of fatigue.

Three consecutive days of competition, along with the banquets where she wore a fake smile, left her not only physically exhausted but also mentally tired.

"Jasper, I’m so tired."

"Stay home and rest this afternoon, don’t go anywhere."

Instantly, a silence engulfed the cramped car interior.

The light and shadows outside the car window poured over Nora’s cheeks, and Jasper Sinclair felt a pang of heartache upon seeing her like this.

Then, with restraint, he gently planted a kiss on her forehead.

...

Even after running around for several days, by 9 o’clock on a weekday morning, Nora was punctually at VK.

"Nora, why didn’t you take a day off at home?"

Megan Underwood was somewhat surprised to see her in the store.

"Thank you for your concern, Megan. I rested all afternoon yesterday, it’s almost enough."

"Did you have breakfast?"

Megan said as she opened a McDonald’s paper bag on the table, "Have some hash brown."

Nora swallowed slowly. Although she had eaten a hearty breakfast, her taste buds were still tempted by the creamy hash brown. She smiled playfully, "Thank you for the loving breakfast, Megan."

"Stop being cheeky, eat up."

The employees of the studio gradually arrived.

While eating breakfast, some took the opportunity to inquire about the competition Nora participated in.

Nora took a small sip of soy milk and said warmly, "There are always people better than us, and I don’t know what ranking I can achieve, but I’ve gained a lot of insights and indeed learned a lot in this competition."

Saying that, she looked out the window.

A tiny crane made of candy wrapper fluttered in the air conditioning breeze.

Near ten o’clock, the mall officially opened for business.

The customers at VK gradually increased, and Nora felt that the number of people had more than doubled compared to before.

She leaned next to a sales clerk in the store, "How have the sales been recently?"

"Boss, a lot of people have bought fragrances in the past week, and many are here specifically because of you."

The sales clerk, a girl around Nora’s age, looked at her with twinkling eyes, as if admiring an idol.

"Great work, if we’re ever short-handed, we can hire more staff."

"Not at all."

Afterward, Nora went to the perfume workshop alone.

She didn’t hurry to change into her lab coat, but instead found a chair and sat down with a slightly lazy demeanor, randomly flipping through a notebook of coded entries.

Nora reflected on her recent gains and the little changes, with an indescribable feeling in her heart.

She mused, when could she have insights like Finnian Lawrence?

...

In the afternoon, just before leaving work.

Nora formulated another bottle of fragrance, naming it "Eden Garden."

The top notes of this fragrance were tart and sweet lemon, while the middle and base notes blended with a type of flower she loved, tuberose.

This is a scent where brightness and warmth coexist, no matter where you are, the Eden Garden makes you feel a unique sense of belonging.
