Chapter 71

At this point, Vivian had no way out of this tough situation.

In front of everyone, Vivian tried very hard to recall the process and keep comforting herself in her mind. She thought. ‘I’ll make it. Just a few words, analyzing the ingredients. Even if I make mistakes, what can they do to me?”

But even so, Vivian still felt uncontrollably nervous. Her hand, reaching out for the test strip, was trembling.

After the routine procedures, Vivian smelled a faint lingering fragrance. She tried to recall all her knowledge of perfumes and analyze the ingredients first. Vivian thought roughly analyzing the ingredients was better than just being silent after all.

The host said, “Ms. Garcia, are you ready?”

This time, as soon as the host spoke, Vivian replied, “Personally, I like this perfume. Usually, I prefer light and elegant fragrances so this is exactly what I like. I don’t know. what kind of person the perfumer is but I think he might be tranquil like a poet and pursue a reclusive life in the countryside.

“By the way, I smelled chrysanthemum in it. I think it may contain essential oil extracted from dried chrysanthemum flowers. Although Vivian’s sounded like they were founded, she obviously sounded less and less confident and more and more tentatively.

Vivian was not certain about what she said but she couldn’t say anything. She had to make up something based on her past experience.

Vivian thought, “Whatever! As long as I say something!

The host hesitated. “Well.” Vivian became more nervous. She thought she must be

wrong.

The host said, “I don’t know what the ingredients are. But it feels beautiful hearing Ms. Garcia’s description! How about we invite the perfumer of this perfume now to answer your question in person? We’ll soon know if you’re right.”

Vivian slightly relaxed and then felt stressed again.

Vivian only hoped that she was half right or her flattering would probably make it hard for the perfumer to be cruel to her.

A man walked onstage slowly amid enthusiastic applause.

Vivian didn’t even dare to look at him. She just stood on the stage and applauded with a

smile.

She flushed but she knew she had to stay calm. She must behave like she was not scared. She had to look confident no matter what the perfumer said later.

The host said, “We’re so happy to have the perfumer himself here today. Now let’s welcome Mr. Mike Larson to introduce this perfume to us.”

What the host just said surprised Vivian.

Vivian turned around abruptly and saw the familiar face. With an extremely gentle smile, the man took the microphone from the host.

Vivian thought, ‘How could it be him?”

Mike looked at Vivian, holding the microphone. After a while, he turned around to the audience in front of him.

“First of all, I would like to thank the organizers for having me here. I feel honored. Although I grew up in Edoeldia and I have focused on spices and essential oils for many years, I am also interested in the cultural heritage here very much.” Mike spoke flucnt. Clusian. “This perfume is inspired by a poet from here.”

After a pause, Mike smiled and turned sideways to Vivian. “Yes, as Ms. Garcia just said, it was inspired by a great poet. I admire the poet’s attitude toward life and like his poems very much. I’m glad that I found someone who understands me today!”

Mike walked over to

hold Vivian’s hand. He looked at her with his beautiful blue eyes. “Thank you, Ms. Garcia!”

Mike raised one of her hands and kissed the back of it.

Rapturous applause from the audience burst out while Vivian subconsciously withdrew her hand nervously onstage.

Everyone else just saw Mike kissing the back of Vivian’s hand. Only Vivian could feel that Mike stuck out his tongue and licked the back of her hand.

Mike did it extremely fast and he immediately let go of her hand so nobody else could

notice it.

But the feeling of Mike’s tongue tugged at Vivian’s heartstrings. Her mind was a mess

now.

Vivian blushed but she couldn’t say anything about it in front of so many people. She just lowered her head and smiled as if she was shy because of what Mike said.

Seraphina narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at Vivian playfully,

Seraphina didn’t see clearly what Mike had done but Vivian was definitely not just shy because of what Mike said. Seraphina thought, ‘How can a person like her who takes credit for things that somebody else did look so shy when she hears flattering words? Interesting!”

On the stage, the host continued, “It seems that Mr. Larson and Ms. Garcia can connect with each other. I’m happy about that! The purpose of this perfumery conference is to tell you guys that there are many excellent perfumers at home as well as abroad. And. we have strong reasons to believe that this industry is going to grow rapidly at home. There will be more excellent talents in the near future. We also wish everyone all of you a brilliant future!”

Nudging Mia, Seraphina said, “Let’s go!”

Mia tilted her head to the side, looking at Vivian and Mike. “Don’t you think Ms. Garcia and Mr. Larson here look a bit weird?”

Seraphina subconsciously glanced at the stage and saw that Vivian and Mike were still standing apart without eye contact and everything seemed normal.

Seraphina wondered whether Mia also found what she just found.

Seraphina asked disapprovingly, “What is weird?”

“They’re pretending to be strangers!” Mia stuck out her chin toward the stage. “Did you forget that I saw this Mike on the plane? They were together but now they look like they don’t know each other and even flatter each other to such a ridiculous extent.”

Mia tutted and added, “I really didn’t expect that foreign talents are so hypocritical.”

Seraphina felt speechless.

After thinking for a while, Mia said, “But who knows if he is really a talent? Nowadays the world is awash with too many meaningless titles and rewards. It’s so boring!”

Mia stood up and said, “Let’s go back and get some rest. Tomorrow, we will go outside to be inspired.”

Seraphina glanced at Vivian and Mike again. Hearing what Mia said, she remembered. that this foreign man was indeed sitting beside Vivian on the plane. Unexpectedly, Julian didn’t go here with Vivian. Vivian and Mike pretended to be strangers. Was this just a show to flatter Vivian or was there something else going on?

When walking out, Seraphina felt something was wrong and subconsciously looked upstairs.

It was empty there, nothing but a few tables.
