Chapter 667: Source of Inspiration
After stealing a few days of leisure in Whispering Springs, everything gradually got back on track.
VK.
Nora Northwood flipped through her notebook at the perfuming table. In this technologically advanced era, everyone likes to present their work in the form of "documents" or "PPTs."
But she’s different. She likes to jot down all the inspirations from life under the tip of her pen.
The most simple, and also the purest way of recording.
In the notebook, there’s the slightly salty sea breeze, dim sum from a certain tea restaurant, the endless incense smoke from temple fairs... for Nora, it’s the source of fragrance.
After busying herself at the perfuming table for a morning, she suddenly remembered the fragrance event at The Global Assembly.
It’s been a week since the announcement, and unsurprisingly, VK’s perfumers should have each made their considerations.
Today is the day to evaluate the results.
Nora dialed the internal phone to the perfuming department, notifying them of a meeting in ten minutes.
She grabbed a stack of A4 paper from under the printer, scribbled a bit, and headed straight to the meeting room.
The meeting announced two things in total.
First: The fragrance theme for the Guyu solar term is officially released, and everyone should keep a close eye on sales.
Second: The Global Assembly fragrance event, confirming the candidates for the preliminary test.
More than half of the perfumers in the team participated, but Megan Underwood was not among them.
Her excuse was extremely perfunctory, using the term "getting on in years" as the reason.
In any event, she must have her reasons, and Nora didn’t pry further.
On the same day.
Serendipity Pavilion held a new product launch, VK was invited to the evening banquet, the two companies’ target customer types are different, so there was no excessive conflict.
Nora and Lily Sloan chose to attend together, one for work, and the other for personal feelings.
Halfway through the banquet, the two girls drank some wine under the atmosphere’s influence.
Nora took a moment to send a message to Jasper Sinclair, telling him she had been drinking and needed someone to pick her up.
Fortunately, she didn’t drink much, just not suitable for driving, no other problems.
When the event ended, the hotel entrance was filled with cars, the entire road was so congested, there was no way through.
Almost every car had its hazard lights on, lighting up the darkened sky anew.
Nora, surrounded by several entrepreneurs, left the banquet hall, while Lily had already run into the arms of another man.
"Let’s catch up again when there’s a chance, VK will definitely consider the collaboration."
She saw Jasper Sinclair waiting by the hot springs and eagerly said goodbye to these hypocritical serpents.
VK is faintly showing a trend of occupying the top tier, and the entrepreneurs who once looked down on small studios now flock to Nora.
People mixed in the business circle have a common trait, which is holding no grudges.
This group may have forgotten the disdainful faces they showed when they initially rejected VK.
Nora remembers the hardships encountered along the way, and it was precisely everyone’s dismissal that kept her persevering through difficulties time and again.
As she pondered, her steps had already stopped in front of Jasper Sinclair.
"Why didn’t you let the driver pick you up?"
"I wasn’t comfortable with that." Jasper took her hand, warming it in his palm, and asked, "How much did you drink?"
"Two glasses of whiskey, not much, I secretly mixed in some red tea."
Saying the latter sentence, Nora was a bit proud, as if she had done something remarkable.
"Let’s go, home."
Jasper’s car was parked on the outer side; the place was so packed it was impossible to get in.
He was even ready to carry Nora to the car, but to his surprise, she was more sober than he imagined.
