SWNOVELS Chapter 96

Seraphina hadn’t been idle recently. Her precious red sandalwood had arrived. It wasn’t very huge because it had been specially cultivated, so she kept it in her laboratory.
After returning from Kweaville, Mia requested an independent laboratory for Seraphina from her supervisors. Despite its small size, it had all the necessary equipment. Mia’s change in attitude not only surprised the senior management but also her subordinates.
The other employees couldn’t help but whisper to each other. They felt it was a little unfair.
No perfumer had their laboratories less than three months after joining the company. Seraphina was also not recruited through traditional channels, which, with the rumors surrounding her, made her even more skeptical.
Mia didn’t bother to explain it at all. “Anyone who applies for and passes the same assessment tests I gave Seraphina will be treated equally. I will also provide him or her with the same laboratory as Seraphina’s,” she said.
All the controversies disappeared as a result of her words.
Although they did not witness the second assessment test, the majority of the employees witnessed Seraphina’s first one. It couldn’t be a forgery. At the time, many people couldn’t figure out where the cause of the problem was, and only Seraphina discovered it right away. The second assessment test was significantly more challenging, causing people’s toes to curl.
Nobody wanted to take such an assessment test. Also, they didn’t think they could it. Therefore, they’d better do their current jobs..

Seraphina wouldn’t care about what happened outside once she entered the laboratory. She’d be immersed in it and wouldn’t notice anything else.
When she was in Kweaville, she had an inspiration. At that time, it was just a prototype.. Until she found the red sandalwood in the flower garden, she felt that she had found what she wanted.
She washed, dried, cut, dissolved, and refined the material all day. When she worked overtime in the evening, she felt dizzy. She couldn’t tolerate the pain in her neck any longer, so she stopped working.
She missed Emily a little bit. She used to work with Emily in the past. She was in charge of making perfume, and Emily was her assistant. They each completed their assigned tasks. Emily could always get what she meant accurately and timely. Their cooperation was very smooth.

However…
Julian still refused to accept Emily ‘s resignation, but Seraphina stopped frowning after checking the date.
She took out her phone and called Emily. “Emily, do you have time for dinner tonight?”
Thirty minutes later, dozens of kebabs were placed in front of them at a small restaurant near Emily’s place. However, they sat opposite each other silently.
After a while, Emily broke the silence first. “Let’s eat!”
She picked up a kebab and bit it hard as if she was venting her anger.
After taking a glance at her, Seraphina also picked up one and chewed it slowly. They used to eat together rather frequently. Emily spent more time with her than Julian did.
No one said anything more until they had finished all of the kebabs on the table. Seraphina wiped her mouth with a tissue, took out a contract from her bag, and pushed it toward her. “Take it back and read it carefully. If you’re dissatisfied with any of the terms, we can negotiate. Welcome to join my team!”
Emily glanced at it. It was an employment contract and the company was Aroma Delight.
However, she just glanced at it and then shook her head without taking it over.
“Why? Don’t you want to work with me again?” Seraphina asked, thinking Emily hadn’t terminated her contract with Prosperian Company yet.
“Of course not. It’s the happiest thing for me to work with you. I can learn a lot from you, and I like making perfumes very much,” Emily said.
“Well…” Seraphina thought for a while and continued, “If I remember correctly, from the day you submitted your resignation letter, no matter whether Julian agreed or not, now the time is up for you to leave the job automatically.”
Legally speaking, Julian couldn’t force Emily to work for him any longer, no matter how unwilling he was.
“You’re right,” Emily sighed. “But my mom won’t let me quit my job.”
Seraphina was stunned.
She didn’t see that coming. “Your mom…”
Julian came to my house and met my mother. My mom trusts him very much and believes he’s a good boss. She thought I shouldn’t have quit my job, not to mention that

he promised to offer me a pay raise,” Emily said, leaning back in his chair and looking up at the sky. It was so dark that she couldn’t even see a star. “I’ve thought about that. I won’t quit my job, but I will slack off at work. That’s fantastic since he’s willing to hire an idler!”
“Emily, you can’t think that way. You are wasting your talent,” Seraphina said.
Emily appeared to be patient with him on the surface by slacking off at work. However, it would also cause her prime to pass, resulting in a waste of experience and a wasted opportunity for career advancement. For her, little was gained and much was lost.
She sincerely treated Emily as a friend and wanted her to advance in her career, so she wanted Emily to leave Prosperian Company with her.
“But my mom won’t agree, Emily said. She tilted her head and glanced at her helplessly.
“I don’t think you’re a person who only listens to your mom and has no independent opinions,” Seraphina said.
Honestly speaking, it was not a big deal. Emily’s mother Annie was opposed to her quitting her job because Julian offered Emily a high salary. If Emily joined Aroma Delight, perhaps her salary wouldn’t be ideal at first but her future development opportunities would be excellent. Annie would not be so unreasonable if Emily communicated well with her.
Emily stared at Seraphina for a moment and then burst out laughing. “Come on, I’m just kidding you! Actually, I don’t want to quit my job.”
Hearing this answer, Seraphina was even more surprised. “Why?” she asked.
Emily had always been very determined. She would follow Seraphina wherever she went to work! She was willing to work as her assistant.
Seraphina didn’t believe that Emily would suddenly change her mind after such a short time. It was definitely not because Julian promised to raise her salary.
“Because I find I can help you more while staying in Prosperian Company,” she spoke word by word.
Seraphina was confused. “What do you mean?”
“After Julian and Vivian came back from Kweaville, Vivian pumped with adrenalin and created two perfume formulas. The laboratory has been busy making them recently. Julian attaches great importance to them. They are said to have a lot of potential,” Emily replied seriously, sitting straight.

“But what does it have to do with you helping me?” Seraphina asked.
“I want to see how good these two new products are and what other tricks they can pull. If they set you up, I will find it and inform you in time,” Emily answered. She had been thinking about it for a few days. It was more beneficial for her to remain in Prosperian Company as Seraphina’s sentinel rather than working as her assistant at Aroma Delight.
