Chapter 154 I Was Not Qualified, But You Were
After being discharged, Vivian learned that Liam had removed her position as the director at Liavian Perfumes.
Even though Liam was still in the hospital, administrative orders were swiftly issued, and Vivian's office at the company was changed.
At Liavian Perfumes, everyone knew that Vivian was the future First Lady ofLiavian Perfumes. However, today's unexpected turn of events left Vivian without the title of First Lady.
People in the company wouldn't gossip in front of Vivian, but the looks they gave her made Vivian feel like everyone was ridiculing her.
"Liam, you are truly ruthless!"
Vivian couldn't stay with the company, so she quickly left after arriving.
Liam's secretary called Liam, "Mr. Scott, Ms. Reed just came to the company, but when she found out you had removed her office, she left."
"Let her go," Liam said indifferently.
For Vivian, although there had been love between them, Liam didn't want to be too harsh on her. However, whether for the company's sake or his own, Vivian wasn't suitable for the director position. Keeping Vivian in that position wouldn't benefit the company, and it would create awkwardness in the future.
Moreover, Liam was well aware that Vivian had great ambitions. Her association with Rosen was not just about Liavian Perfumes; she wanted fame, to become a top perfumer, to leave him, and perhaps one day, to climb even higher.
Everyone strove for better things, and Vivian was no exception. The problem was that Vivian couldn't accurately assess her abilities.
In other industries, she might get by, but in the field of perfumery, without true talent, she would eventually be exposed.
After hanging up the call from the company, Liam dialed another number, "Have you found out what I asked you to investigate?"
After leaving Liavian Perfumes, Vivian went straight to the hotel to find Rosen.
According to Rosen's schedule, he should have already left Lindwood City, but due to his injury, he had stayed back to recover in his room.
Vivian knocked on the door, and when Rosen saw her, he reached out, pulled her in, and pressed her against the door, leaning down to find her lips.
She pushed Rosen away forcefully. This time, Vivian wasn't meek or pretending to refuse; she genuinely rejected him.
Unhappy at being pushed away, Rosen furrowed his brows and asked, "What do you mean?"
"I just had surgery not long ago, and I'm not feeling well," Vivian said.
"Don't say that!" Rosen never cared about such things. For him, as long as he was happy, he didn't consider anything beyond himself.
In this regard, he transcended mere humanity, embodying a beastly nature devoid of any semblance of humanity!
Taking a few steps back, Vivian quickly took out a pepper spray from her bag and aimed it at Rosen. "Stop! My visit today does not entail engaging in such things with you!!"
Having known Vivian for so long, it was the first time Rosen had seen her so assertive. He paused, touched his chin with interest, then stopped and lit a cigarette, taking a drag. "Alright, then why are you here? You didn't just come to chat with me, did you?"
Mocking Vivian, Rosen asked sarcastically.
Ignoring Rosen's sarcasm, Vivian said, "I'm here to discuss business with you."
"Business?" Rosen chuckled. "With you?"
"If I'm not mistaken, you should have even no capital now to discuss business with me, right? Besides, what business can you discuss with me when you haven't fulfilled your promises? You promised me that I would definitely enter the annual competition and win a prize, but the formula had a problem."
"I fixed it for you, didn't I? What? Is it still not good enough?" Rosen added.
"Yes, you fixed it, but you also ruined everything for me! Liam found out. He doesn't want me anymore. He even wants to kick me out of Liavian Perfumes! How can I participate in the annual competition and win a prize? How can I establish myself in the perfumery industry in the future? All of this is because of you!" Vivian accused angrily.
Facing Vivian's anger, Rosen remained indifferent as he smiled, "Vivian, you're wrong. It was voluntary between us from the beginning. Did I not fulfill my promises to you? Did I not give you the formula? Do you not have the absolute qualifications to enter the annual competition selection? I heard that Liavian Perfumes' application has already been completed and approved, and I am waiting for the final selection. If Liam doesn't want to do it in your name, that's Liam's problem. You should talk to Liam, not me."
"I will handle my matters with him naturally; there is no need for your concern. But I have done so much for you. You should at least repay me something."
Glancing at Vivian, Rosen said disdainfully, "What do you want me to repay you?"
"I heard that there's a tasting competition in France next week, and I want to go. You must figure out a way to help me." Vivian had already found out that this tasting competition invited only well-known companies or individuals, and Evelyn would be representing Neogenito Fragrances.
Although the tasting competition wasn't as grand as the annual perfume competition due to its unique positioning, it was still highly respected in the industry.
Moreover, with its threshold, not just anyone could attend, making it even more prestigious.
Vivian was jealous! She was mad!
She thought, 'Why do all the good things fall into Evelyn? I, having been put in so much effort, get nothing. I am unwilling, absolutely unwilling!'
As Rosen laughed, cigarette ash fell from his fingertips.
"Vivian, do you still not understand? Do you know who attends these tasting events? Do you think you have the qualifications to enter the competition just by yourself?" Rosen mocked. "Honestly, not just you. There are only a few people from your country who have the qualifications to go."
"I know I'm not qualified. But you are!" Looking up, Vivian stared at Rosen and said, "So, you take me there!"
Rosen still had some reputation in this circle, but Vivian wasn't sure of Rosen's status in the international circle. However, he should still have the qualifications to attend such a tasting event.
Raising his hand to extinguish the cigarette butt, Rosen calmly said, "I am qualified to go, and I have indeed received an invitation. But why should I take you? Give me a reason first."
"I know Evelyn is also going." Vivian paused. "It's inconvenient to deal with Evelyn domestically, but once we're out, I'll help you handle Evelyn and get revenge for you!"
Rosen was considering whether this matter was feasible.
For him, it was indeed somewhat tempting.
After a moment, Rosen made up his mind. "Alright!"
