Chapter 64 Because I Saw Evelyn
When she heard his words, Vivian looked around the room again, but all she could see was the image of Rosen's room in her mind. She took a deep breath and said, "It's not bad."
Liam wanted more. He remarked, "Just 'not bad'? In fact, it's significantly cheaper."
"They're all similar," Vivian replied. She wasn't in the mood to discuss this and replied casually.
"How can they be similar when there's a difference of dozens of dollars?" Liam asked.
He continued, "Vivian, we may be financially comfortable now, but the company is facing many challenges. We need to recruit talent and expand our market. We have to be careful with every penny. It might be tough now, but think about the future..."
"You're always talking about the future!" Vivian snapped at him. She couldn't hold back her anger.
She lashed out, "I want the present, the now. I live in the moment, Liam. I can't see the future. I can't!"
She couldn't help but shout, tears streaming down her face.
Liam remained silent for a while, and he probably didn't expect her emotions to change so quickly, let alone her outburst.
"Vivian?" he called, "Are you feeling upset?"
"Yes!" Vivian affirmed.
"Because of me?" He thought for a moment and added, "Or did Rosen bully you?"
At the mention of Rosen, Vivian felt a pang of guilt.
She quickly retorted, "What do you mean, "bully me"? Why do you always think of those messy things? Liam, is your mind filled with that? You ask me why I'm upset, I'll tell you! It's because I saw Evelyn!"
"Evelyn?" Liam was taken aback. "Where did you see her? Did she go to Tedia?"
"Yes!" she continued, "Not only did she go to Tedia, but she also flew first class, received special treatment, and was even chauffeured in a Rolls-Royce! Liam, did you hear that? I only rode in a $200,000 Mercedes with Mr. Rosen, but she was in a $700,000 Rolls-Royce!"
She blurted out and felt a sense of relief.
Liam remained silent. It was truly beyond his expectations.
Liam began, "Vivian, I didn't expect."
"You didn't expect it, and neither did I. How could Evelyn betray us like this and even set us up? How can she live so lavishly? Liam, I won't let her off!" she declared with gritted teeth and determination.
"What do you plan to do?" Liam asked.
"She must be here for the tasting event. I'm going to make her embarrassed!" she said with hatred.
"Vivian, don't act impulsively. Understand the situation first. She's no longer with Liavian Perfumes; she has the support of Neogenito Fragrances, and she doesn't listen to me at all."
"Are you concerned about her?" Vivian questioned.
"How is that possible!" he immediately denied. "You're the only one in my heart, Vivian, you know that. But Evelyn."
"That's fine. You take care of the essential oil business, and wait for my good news!" she said and hung up the phone.
"Vivian?" Liam called out to her, baffled.
Liam called several times and realized that the call had been disconnected. He felt instantly frustrated.
Evelyn? Did she go to Tedia too?
He was filled with doubts when he recalled Vivian's words. First class? Rolls-Royce? Was Neogenito Fragrances so generous, or did the Seraphian Group have such resources to support a small subsidiary?
"Mr. Scott," someone from the lab came over happily, "The new product is out, and it's the same as before."
"Really?!" Liam was excited but quickly restrained himself. "Has it been tested? Is it the same? Remember, there can't be any difference!" Liam said, sternly.
Ironically, Evelyn's perfume seemed to have a special magic. Those who liked it became loyal fans, but the slightest difference would put them off. It was precisely because of this that the incident had caused such a huge reaction.
He had to ensure that the product was the same so that there would be no problems in mass production at the factory.
The person hesitated, probably recalling, and then nodded quickly and replied with certainty, "The same!"
"Good!" Liam couldn't help himself this time.
He immediately got up and followed him to see the new samples. The small bottle, along with some test strips, was placed on the side. He leaned over to smell it, and he relaxed his frown.
"Go, immediately send it to the factory, make them work overtime and produce it day and night, make sure to catch up with the schedule!" he commanded, and then added, "Don't let anything go wrong again."
As he spoke, he seemed to think of something else. "Forget it, I'll go myself. It's a big deal, and I don't trust anyone else," he said.
"You guys hurry up and make some more adjustments. It's been hard these days. After this busy period, I'll give you a vacation and a raise!" Liam offered.
"Thank you, Mr. Scott!" the staff prepared to spread the news with great joy.
Liam was about to leave, but then he stopped in his tracks and said, "By the way, has Laura come yet?"
"She asked for leave," the staff scratched their head and replied.
"Sick leave again?" Laim asked.
Since Evelyn left, she had yet to take her work seriously.
One of the staff replied, "No, it's personal leave. She just said she had something to do but didn't say the details."
Liam waved his hand, and said, "You can go!"
Personal leave! Did he approve it? But she didn't care, and she was acting arbitrarily.
He had been too busy before, with too many things to handle, and he didn't have time for her. Now that he had the time, he would deal with these disobedient people.
He sent the essential oils directly to the factory and then drove straight to where Laura lived.
The company's employee registration form had detailed home addresses, so it was easy to find her.
Laura's family environment was ordinary. Her father passed away a few years ago, so she rented this two-bedroom apartment with her mother.
When he stood at the door, Liam pressed the doorbell.
He stood patiently and persistently pressed the doorbell, with a pause of two or three presses now and then. Before long, he heard a sleepy voice from inside, asking, "Who is it?"
Her hand was already on the doorknob, but Laura thought for a moment and decided to look through the peephole. It was Liam!
She was surprised, and her drowsiness disappeared!
