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

Chapter 417: The Exhibition Approaches

As Nora Northwood left the building, everyone she passed respectfully addressed her as "President Northwood."

The former Miss Northwood had transformed into another identity, but this still wasn’t her desired endpoint.

Nora went to a nearby dessert shop and routinely ordered a piece of cake.

The instant the cream melted on her tongue, both her taste buds and mood were immensely satisfied.

She sat straight-backed by the window, observing the bustling traffic on the road. The chatter of customers and the sound of car horns permeated her ears.

Gradually, her inner being became tranquil.

At one o’clock in the afternoon, when the sun was most intense, Nora returned to VK.

This time, she didn’t go to the lab but stayed in the private fragrance blending room within the office.

Nora stood briefly by the window, drawing open the blinds. In that fleeting moment, the sunlight poured in unimpeded, flooding every corner of the room.

In order to prevent the fragrance essence from degrading under sunlight, the blinds were mostly kept closed.

Afterward, she approached the glass storage shelves, which took up an entire wall. Each compartment was just palm-sized, and different colored glass bottles were neatly arranged, containing fragrance essences.

Nora donned her lab coat and embarked on a new round of challenges.

Using three fingers, she gently pinched the dropper, dropping fragrance into a device while recording data on the equipment.

Previously, in the studio, she needed to jot down each detail in a notebook.

Now, with more convenient instruments, she could simply press a few buttons to complete the task easily.

An hour later, Nora dripped the concocted perfume onto a scent blotter, then brought it close to her nose.

Instantly, a delightful aroma infiltrated her senses.

She dripped another drop on the back of her hand, confirming if the scent was consistent; the top notes were black currant and osmanthus.

The genuine Maridian rose would only reveal itself gradually after the top notes completely dissipated.

Finally, transitioning to the milky scent of tonka bean.

This perfume belonged to the type that was stunning at first glance, becoming increasingly irresistible, unlike Nora’s usual style.

Whether VK could hold its ground at the exhibition depended entirely on the Maridian rose. She bet everything on this bottle of perfume.

Before leaving the lab, Nora rubbed a circle of rosemary essential oil on the back of her hand.

The fragrance of the exhibit pieces could not be disclosed before the exhibition started.

VK was seeing more and more staff, and she couldn’t guarantee whether anyone among them harbored ulterior motives.

Water flowed over Nora’s hand, and after quite some time, the scent faintly subsided, leaving behind a residual rosemary mixed with a milky smell, quite incongruent.

As she emerged, everyone had just finished their lunch break.

She found Yvonne Winslow’s workstation and asked, "Has the initial review of the exhibition passed?"

Yvonne propped herself up on the sofa cushion, rubbed her eyes with her fingertips, and after two seconds, responded to Nora’s question, "Yes, preparing materials for the second review now, expected to complete the final evaluation by the tenth."

"Good, the product is finalized, needs to go to the factory for production, will deliver the first batch by the tenth, currently set at thirty thousand bottles."

"If we make it into the exhibition, the ribbon-cutting ceremony in the latter half of the month will also be quite spectacular."

"We definitely can!" Nora said, patting Yvonne’s shoulder, as if cheering her on.

Both wore smiles that seemed picturesque, basking in the sunlight, one delicate and charming, the other strikingly radiant.
