Chapter 490: A New Member Joins
After just a few words of conversation, Shane Hamilton changed his impression of Nora Northwood.
Initially thought to be a wealthy lady married into a prestigious family, she now appeared to be a formidable businesswoman in the marketplace.
Shane Hamilton had been making pastries for years, and VK was preparing to develop food-inspired fragrances, which intrigued him.
The conversation went very smoothly.
Finally, Shane Hamilton expressed his concerns: "I haven’t been involved in this industry before, and there might be some deficiencies in certain areas."
"I don’t deny that, but your strengths are enough to overshadow your shortcomings. It depends on how much effort you put in."
Nora Northwood’s demeanor was not as gentle as it was in the kitchen the other day. Vaguely, Shane Hamilton saw the shadow of that man in her.
Perhaps over time, couples begin to adopt each other’s traits.
Shane Hamilton paused for a moment and, in a very solemn tone, stated, "I will work hard. I hope for a pleasant collaboration."
"Pleasant collaboration, and welcome to join the VK team."
The three shook hands with each other, and Megan Underwood led them to tour the fragrance room while discussing the products VK would develop next and the overall direction of the brand.
The fragrance room.
It spanned several hundred square meters, filled with a mix of various scents. Though not particularly pleasant, it was not unpleasant either; overall, quite peculiar.
Noah was buried in recording backend data, and upon seeing outsiders arrive, he gave a polite smile.
"Is he from Elysia?"
"A Franco-Elysian mix, one of VK’s designers. If you have questions, you can discuss them with him. Everyone here is very friendly."
On the other side.
Nora Northwood put on a lab coat and entered her own fragrance room.
Before starting work, she stood by the sink for a moment.
The water flowed continuously, washing away the scents from her palms and the back of her hands, and only then did she begin to work.
The fragrance strips were neatly arranged, and just as she was about to proceed to the next step, her phone next to her started buzzing.
Nora ignored it and continued recording the formula data.
The buzzing stopped briefly for a second, then resumed... after several repetitions, her face began to fall.
She picked up the phone and saw it was an unfamiliar number, "You can leave the parcel at the front desk."
"Nora!" Soon, an impotent rage came from the other end of the line, "Did you block my number?"
Nora pressed her lips together, showing no embarrassment at being caught. She calmly said, "Mr. Sinclair, there’s a saying, I wonder if you’ve heard it, an acceptable ex should be like they are dead."
Instantly, Jasper Sinclair’s face darkened.
"I don’t agree to divorce."
"It’s okay, legal separation for more than two years automatically ends the marital relationship." Her gentle tone was filled with certainty, without a trace of hesitation or compromise.
Having said that, she didn’t engage in further chat and directly hung up the phone, not forgetting to block this new number as well.
Too many pinholes will eventually turn into a big hole.
She had given Jasper Sinclair many opportunities, but all she got in return was endless disappointment.
Peach Bell’s sudden appearance disrupted her original plans and understanding of marriage.
She understood Jasper Sinclair, but who understood her?
The recording sent by Rachel Woodward was like the last straw that broke the camel’s back, leaving Nora Northwood completely cold and realizing there was no need to continue entangling with him.
Might as well end it cleanly.
The Qixi Festival was approaching.
The entire Stanton City was enveloped in a romantic atmosphere, and the night before, VK officially released the Qixi limited edition: Flower Encounter with White Cotton.
