Chapter 16 How Shameless Can He Be
Evelyn sat down beside her, looking up at her. "Laura, if you had to choose between Liavian Perfumes and me, you—"
"I choose you!" Laura interrupted her before Evelyn could finish speaking, without any hesitation.
Evelyn was momentarily stunned, then smiled at her.
Actually, Laura was doing quite well in this job. The work here was stable, and the salary was decent. Although she had a hot temper and disliked complicated interpersonal relationships, she had strong professional skills, so this studio was suitable for her.
Evelyn was certain that she would not continue to stay at Liavian Perfumes, but if she switched jobs, it would affect Laura. She felt somewhat guilty about that.
She didn't expect Laura to make such a decisive choice. She couldn't help but feel that she had gained something here.
The two of them smiled at each other, understanding what the other wanted to express without needing to say more.
"By the way, have you decided to go to Neogenito Fragrances?" Since they had reached this point in the conversation, Laura asked directly, "Can I go too?"
She was being cautious, afraid that she would cause trouble for Evelyn.
When it came to changing jobs, one could either go solo or as part of a group; it was uncommon to bring along another person. As a mere assistant with little recognition in the industry, she wasn't certain if Neogenito Fragrances would consider her.
"Well..." Evelyn hesitated for a moment, thinking, 'After all, I haven't talked to Neogenito Fragrances about this yet. I went to work for Neogenito Fragrances because Samuel arranged it. If I mention bringing Laura along...'
"If it's not possible, that's alright! I can find another job. I have a diploma and the skills, and I'm not afraid of not finding a suitable job," Laura quickly reassured, her tone relaxed.
"I'll talk to Neogenito Fragrances. Don't worry. If you want to switch jobs with me, wherever I go, I'll bring you along."
Evelyn did this not only out of loyalty but also because Laura was truly her capable assistant. She believed it was only right to bring Laura along.
"When will you go then?"
"I need to talk to them first, and there are some things I need to take care of here."
"Is it about the documents? Don't worry, I have backups on my computer!" After saying that, Laura said unhappily, "But they took the documents away."
"It's fine." Evelyn waved her hand. "Liam is organizing a press conference, making me admit that I lied."
"What?!" Laura almost jumped up. "How can he be so shameless?!"
"These perfumes, these spices—all products of our hard work. You invested so much effort, only for him to snatch all the credit and accuse you? Does he have no conscience?" Laura understood precisely the sacrifices made for this perfume.
In their lives devoted to core research and experiments, they repeated the process tirelessly. Sometimes, during critical stages, they barely had time to eat, opting for short naps on a bench at night, fearing errors in the data.
Laura experienced all of this with her, so she was the most outraged.
"He really is a shameless person!" Evelyn sarcastically laughed. "He is expecting too much. I won't let him succeed so easily."
"Evelyn, is there something you need me to do?" Laura, being clever, quickly understood.
"I don't need you to do anything, just don't do anything at all."
Laura asked doubtfully, "Evelyn, what do you mean?"
"What are you most afraid of if Liam wants me to admit his deception in public?" Facing Laura's bewildered expression, Evelyn explained, "It's unfavorable evidence against him. He has taken the evidence, witnesses..."
"Are you referring to me?" Laura pointed to herself, suddenly realizing.
"Then I can testify for you!" She stood with her hands on her hips, full of confidence. "It's a perfect opportunity to expose him and reveal his true colors to everyone."
Evelyn lightly laughed and shook her head. "No, you don't need to testify for me. What you need to do now is take a vacation."
"A vacation?"
"Yes, a vacation! Liam doesn't need you to testify against him. If nobody stands up as a witness, leaving at this time would be best for him."
Given Liam's calculating personality, if Laura were to resign directly, he would definitely not let her leave. A better choice for Laura might be to passively slack off.
But Laura still had concerns. "Evelyn, I should stand with you. If I leave now, won't that make me a deserter?"
"Don't be silly, this isn't a war. How did you become a deserter?" Evelyn laughed. "I have a plan. You want to jump ship with me, right? Take a vacation first, and there are things waiting for you in the future!"
Despite harboring doubts, she met Evelyn's resolute gaze, reflecting on their long-term collaboration. She then nodded. "Alright, I'll follow your lead!"
After leaving the studio, she originally planned to go to Neogenito Fragrances. While waiting for the bus, a black Maybach stopped in front of her.
The car window rolled down, revealing Samuel's handsome face, surprising Evelyn.
"Get in the car," he said.
Biting her lip, Evelyn opened the car door and got in. "Why are you here?"
Evelyn couldn't help but wonder how he knew where she was.
Samuel turned to look at her as the car started moving. "Not happy to see me?"
"Of course not!" She naturally held onto his hand. "I just feel a little surprised."
"Is it considered a surprise?"
Evelyn smiled and said, "Yes, of course!
"Where are we going now? I was originally planning to go to Neogenito Fragrances. I haven't completed the onboarding process yet."
Last night, she had only briefly talked to the person in charge of Neogenito Fragrances.
She lacked knowledge about the company and believed it essential to engage in a thorough conversation. Before this, she had little familiarity with Neogenito Fragrances and deemed it crucial to discuss matters with their representatives.
"Not today, maybe tomorrow!" Samuel said lightly.
"Why?"
She thought, 'It's not too late now. Is there something going on?'
He didn't say anything, but raised one hand and pointed backwards with his finger.
She looked back and noticed a car following them.
After observing for a while, she confirmed that the car was indeed tracking her. She wondered, 'Who is following me? Liam's people?'
"Then what—"
She wanted to ask, "What do we do next?"
But at that moment, Samuel suddenly grabbed her shoulder, and simultaneously, the car accelerated abruptly.
She uncontrollably fell towards him.
