Billionaire’s Sweet Wife

Chapter 40

An experimental base’s location was usually some distance from the city center. The first reason for

this was because it took up a considerable area, so it was easier to find such places in the outskirts

with reasonable prices. On the other hand, experiments required concentration, and the outskirts were

more conducive to cultivation, offering a rich variety of raw materials for fragrances.

Back at Prosperian Company, their laboratory was located in the outskirts of the city. However, due to

Julian’s limited financial resources, it was just a run-down factory that he rented with only half of it

utilized. Every time there was a purchase of fragrance ingredients, it was enough to make him

complain incessantly for a while.

Of course, he would be happy once the finished product was out, and then they would envision the

future together. Yes, just envision, nothing more.

Although the location was a bit remote, fortunately, she could take a taxi directly there.

But contrary to her expectations, what she saw after getting off the taxi was not a factory. building but

an entire building.

It was one of those rising buildings with a rather standard appearance. It was unexpected to have such

a building in this arca.

“Ms. Lawson, I’ve arrived,” Seraphina called Mia’s phone, standing in front of the building. The door

seemed to be locked, and there were security guards and access. control devices inside. This should

be the right place.

“Give me five minutes.”

After Mia said this, she quickly hung up the phone. Seraphina then waited at the

entrance.

The surroundings were quite spa cious, and it seemed that not many people lived nearby. Seraphina

didn’t expect Aroma Delight’s experimental base to be like this.

However, considering that it was backed by Apex Corporation, it shouldn’t be like the half-broken

factory building which people might mistake it for a place producing machine parts.

After five minutes, Mia came out. Unlike before, she was now wearing a white coat, with her hair tied

up and a cap on, completely changing her appearance.

Swiping the access card, she coldly told Seraphina, “Follow me inside! But remember, no questions

and no unnecessary speaking. Talk less, look less, and listen more. Understand?”

However, this intense smell suggested that this was a laboratory specifically designed to experiment

with various foul odors. Well… she accepted it!

She knew that Mia would surely challenge her, but she didn’t expect her to use this method.

Nonetheless, for Seraphina, anything related to fragrance creation was of interest, so it was not a

problem.

Seeing her composed demeanor, Mia seemed satisfied. “Don’t celebrate prematurely. Do you think it’s

as simple as just suppressing unpleasant odors? That’s a skill any entry- level perfumer should

possess.

“Now, what you need to do is to record the testing data for different odors and analyze their different

characteristics. There are a total of 48 different odors here, and you need to complete this task within 3

days. Can you do it?”

“I won’t need that long.” Seraphina glanced at her casually and said, “One day, I just need one day.” Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

Mia’s eyes showed a hint of surprise, but she quickly regained her composure. “Alright, you said it, one

day! Don’t blame me for intentionally making it difficult for you. You boasted about it yourself.

Regardless of success or failure, you have to take responsibility!”

“Of course!” Seraphina couldn’t wait to dive into the work.

Looking at Seraphina’s excited and eager expression, Mia found herself strangely anticipating the final

results.

Honestly, she had been quite repelled by Seraphina from the beginning. The initial impression was not

good, and no matter what happened later, it was challenging to accept. Especially when Darian insisted

on keeping her, it made Mia feel there was something fishy going on.

However, in the last meeting, Seraphina’s preliminary demonstration of her abilities had brought about

a slight change. She thought then, ‘At least this Seraphina has some genuine talent.

‘But if she was so capable, why hadn’t I heard of her in the past few years? If those popular fragrances

from Prosperian Company were truly her creations, why were other names being promoted instead of

hers?’

Doubts began to arise in Mia’s mind.

“Some of these 48 odors are very similar. Don’t blame me for not warning you. Pay attention to self-

protection. Don’t end up injuring your nose before completing the task.” Mia patted her shoulder while

speaking with a meaningful tone.

Though the words sounded stern, one could sense a genuine concern. Seraphina looked at Mia and

smiled faintly. “Rest assured, I guarantee to complete the task and

pass your assessment.”

A hint of a smile appeared on Mia’s face, but she quickly restrained it. “I hope it’s not just empty words.

In here, what matters is results!”

“Got it!”

Just as

was about to immerse herself in her work, Mia, who was standing

behind her, couldn’t help but say, “Hey…”

“Hmm?” Seraphina turned around, silently inquiring.

After a moment of hesitation, Mia displayed an impatient expression. “Is your lawsuit ever going to

end? Why does it feel like a soap opera that is airing at prime time?”

Although expressed in the most impatient tone, there was still a trace of concern. Seraphina smiled.

“Thanks for your concern, Ms. Lawson. The grand finale will be coming soon!”

“W-Who said I was concerned about you? I was just afraid that your personal affairs would affect the

company’s reputation.”

“Alright, I understand! I’ll handle it as soon as possible!”

Seraphina thought, ‘Soon!”
