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

Chapter 594: Happy New Year’s Eve

Fortunately, Jenson Sinclair’s mind wasn’t focused on relationships; he was entirely consumed with the thought of competing for the family inheritance.

The east side of Stanton City.

Lily Sloan was alone in her room, staring blankly at the ceiling with an empty gaze.

Outside the door, the person who came in was Mrs. Sloan.

"Lily, you look like you have something on your mind. Talk to mom about it."

Mrs. Sloan was very perceptive and, as the saying goes, ’a mother knows her daughter best.’ During dinner, she noticed that her youngest daughter seemed distracted.

Lily bit her lower lip, unsure of how to begin.

"Is it because you like a boy from some family?"

"Mom, it seems like he doesn’t like me back."

All day, Lily’s phone hadn’t left her hand as she waited for a message from Finnian Lawrence. Even a simple "Happy New Year’s Eve" would have sufficed, but she hadn’t received anything.

She thought it wasn’t just her one-sided courage, but the fact proved she was wrong.

"How can you be so sure he doesn’t like you back?"

"He wouldn’t even say Happy New Year to me." Lily visibly became more dejected, with her eyebrows drooping down.

"Then why don’t you take the initiative to reach out?"

...

Close to midnight, Lily sent Finnian Lawrence a New Year’s greeting.

It was a very formal message, more like a mass text.

Then she leaned against the window, waiting for his reply, and happened to notice that tonight’s sky was brighter than usual, with a star that kept twinkling.

After a long while, she changed her position.

Curled up on the beanbag chair, her eyelids irresistibly closing and opening.

Just like that, she fell asleep on the sofa.

Finnian was at a family gathering at home; his phone had long since died and switched off, so he had no idea what he was missing.

Nor did he know that someone was waiting for him, refusing to give up even in the wee hours of the night.

After the Spring Festival, something interesting happened in the fragrance industry.

Xoff, as a leading global fragrance brand, spent a fortune organizing a fragrance exhibition.

Not only that, they also invited brands from around the world to visit the event locally.

Every participating brand could showcase and sell their best-selling product.

At that time, business partners from across the country would be present to choose the brands and products they fancy to collaborate with.

The astonishment didn’t end there.

Besides sending invitations to some high-end brands, Xoff also invited newly listed companies like VK and issued a statement.

Both studios and niche designs could participate, as long as their product quality passed inspection, they could all join the exhibition.

The event was scheduled for mid-March, which meant that all the competitors had one month to prepare.

VK, in the meeting room.

"I’ve always wanted to lead VK onto the international stage. For the company, this is an invaluable opportunity. I hope the entire design department can put in extra effort."

Everyone echoed Nora’s sentiment. The design department had grown from just three people to a small team of over a dozen.

Nora assigned tasks to everyone: "Before leaving work tonight, I hope to see your ideas or inspirations presented in written form. It doesn’t have to be a digital document; even a spark of thought on paper is fine."

After the meeting, she asked Shane to stay behind.

"Shane, the newly developed cream series could be a trump card at the exhibition. What do you think?"

Their thoughts coincided; Shane pulled out a report from the computer: "Director Nora, take a look at this. It’s a market research analysis report on the food series."
