Chapter 9: You’re still too Young to Seduce Me
Diana's limpid and pretty eyes were gleaming with confidence. Only she could make the perfume Mr. and Mrs. Hill liked, and only she could encourage the collaboration between the Powell's and Mr. and Mrs. Hill. The feeling of not being able to gain control of something inexplicably made Brooklyn a little unhappy.
He leaned back listlessly to his comfortable chair and examined her up and down who was placing her hands on the desk with his dark eyes. The faint smell which could not be denied was invading all his nerves. He frowned and seemed to want to get rid of that feeling. "Why are you so confident? To date, those who guaranteed that they'll succeed had all failed. For those who bluff in front of me and can't fulfill their promise..."
He purposefully did not finish his sentence and let out a meaningful smile. "...it's not just getting fired that easy. For a waste who's wasted my precious time and did not manage to do anything in the end, I'll make him pay the price." His words were full of warning purpose.
Diana seemed to not get his warning, or it could be she had extraordinary confidence. She let out a smile and looked at him with her eyes that could speak. She then spoke, "Don't worry, Mr. Powell. You will be happy of my outcome. If I don't manage to encourage your collaboration with Mr. and Mrs. Hill, I'll work for the Powell's for free for the rest of my life, making perfume for the company free of charge, how does that sound? This bet is not small huh?"
After finished, she inhaled softly and clenched her fists when he did not notice. The bet she made this time was too big. If she failed, she would forever work for Brooklyn for free. She could not fail, she must succeed. Brooklyn's eyes slightly gleamed. After being silent for a few seconds, he rumbled, "For what are you risking this?" He doubted Diana was a diehard good person and did not ask for anything in return. Diana pursed her lips, she certainly could not tell him her plan to take vengeance on Mirabelle. Rumor said he and Mirabelle was going to get married soon and their relationship now must have been excellent. If she wanted to take revenge on Mirabelle and seized back everything from her, she had to take down Brooklyn first. She quickly adjusted her mind and spoke with an alluring voice she did not notice, "What if I say I did all those for you?"
The faint fragrance from her once again invaded Brooklyn's nose with her every movement. Just like yesterday, after she left, he felt a rush of tiredness and fell asleep shortly. Staring at the seductive woman before him, he sneered. "You don't even know how to breathe when kissing. You should train yourself more if you want to seduce me."
...
Harper came over to hand Brooklyn the documents, and he encountered Diana leaving Brooklyn's office with an unhappy look. What had happened between Mr. Powell and Miss Miller? Miss Miller also looked like that when she left Mr. Powell's office yesterday. He pushed the door open and said, "Mr. Powell, I'm here to give you the financial report this season."
Brooklyn still looked the same. He was marking the report with a level look and did not even look up for a second. "Put it there," he ordered curtly. Harper was baffled. It looked like Mr. Powell did not get angry, then why was Miss Miller looking furious when she left the office?
Diana thought she had a good mindset and it was rare for someone to provoke her. However, Brooklyn was able to make her lose her temper every time, just like what happened yesterday and today. Who on earth would want to seduce him! She only wanted to take revenge on Mirabelle for god's sake.
She gritted her teeth and sat down with rage. She opened her laptop and as she was going to make plans on how to make perfume that would satisfy Mr. and Mrs. Hill and to encourage their collaboration with the company, she received an email alert. As expected, it was from Mirabelle.
Diana adjusted her mindset and opened the email. Mirabelle was anxious to get the perfume and she demanded in the email : Anna, hurry up, I need the perfume. There's no problem if you need more money, have to get those few bottles of perfume as soon as possible!"
Diana was already unhappy due to Brooklyn's words, and since Mirabelle irritated her even more, she would not be nice to her anymore. Since your fiancé had made me unhappy, then please pay more money to ease my anger. Having thought that, Diana let out a cunning smile.
She replied slowly, "Miss Moss, perfume-making needs time. You just sent the perfume sample to me today, and I can't possibly make the perfume right away. If you think I'm slow, you could hire other more capable perfume maker. Plus, I've examined the perfume sample, and the cost of the raw material is exorbitant. Please pay three million yuan for the purchase of the raw material, thank you."
Mirabelle lost her temper when she received Diana's email. She was just a perfume maker, how could she talk to her like that! If it was not because of the fact that only she could make the same perfume, she would definitely end that perfume maker's career. She gritted her teeth, took her phone out and transferred another three million yuan to Diana.
Diana glimpsed at her phone and hummed with great mood. She planned to take her two babies out for a feast tonight.
Diana opened the door and Emily was already waiting at the entrance. She looked up and said with a mischievous look, "Mommy, you're so early today! Me and Austin have already prepared the ingredients for dinner!" She looked like she was waiting to be praised.
Austin walked out from the living room slowly and his voice was just as cold as his father's. "Those are just little things, there's nothing to be proud of." Emily became unhappy and she pouted. Diana put her purse on the rack, took off her high heels, stooped and landed a kiss on Emily's cheek. A red lip mark was left on Emily's face.
Emily only reacted after a few seconds. "Mommy's kissed me." She giggled and made face at Austin. She bragged that Diana only kissed her but not him because he attacked her. Austin did not have any expression on his cute face. He looked like a mature adult who kept away his feelings. Diana who knew Austin knew he was sulking at the moment.
She pinched his tender face and also landed a kiss on his face. Austin looked up with his big dark eyes. He was slightly blushing. "I'm already six, I don't need mommy's kiss as a reward anymore." Diana felt aggrieved and amused at the same time. Where did he get the habit of saying words that go against his heart? Having imagined that man asking for a kiss like a baby, her chest inevitably tightened and she fel a chill down her spine...
