His secret spoiled wife (Lily and Alexander)

Chapter 90

Every staff in MN Inc.’s laboratory devoted themselves to the experiments and trials. However, the

composition of essential oils was complex, and there are dozens of ingredients in the formula. Even

with procedures, a small quantity variance would cause different outcomes when combined. The cause

and manner of the issue would then be unclear.

Everyone seemed to be stumped. The staff had been working nonstop, putting up with neck pain and

eyesores – except for one person. Olivia was still sitting on a chair with all the experimental equipment

in front of her. Her body was leaned back, and her hands drooped down to her sides. Her head leaned

against the chair, and she fell asleep the next second.

At that exact moment, Melanie walked in and saw the scene.

“…” She clenched her fists, took a deep breath, and then slowly reached for a blanket for Olivia

Probably startled, Olivia opened her eyes in a daze and murmured when she saw Melanie, “Ms.

Thayer, you’re back.”

“Yeah!” Melanie said with a smile, “Olivia, are you tired? It must’ve been a tough day for you I just

made a cup of coffee. Would you like a sip to refresh yourself?” “Huh?” Olivia gave the person in front

of her a blank look as if she did not know who she was, thinking, ‘What in the world just happened?’

Melanie felt very uncomfortable being stared at, but she had to restrain herself. She held a grudge

against Olivia before, but Melanie knew the consequences if she were to let her temper out. Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Why are you staring at me? Do you think I poisoned the coffee? Shall I take a sip first?” Melanie said

half-jokingly and drank from the cup. “Look, I care about you!” “Thank you, Ms. Thayer. However, since

you already drank the coffee, I don’t want to drink it anymore.”

“Never mind, then.”

Just as Melanie was about to say that she would make another cup, she heard Olivia continue,

Besides, don’t you know there’s no eating or drinking these things in the laboratory?”

After all, coffee possessed an aroma, and any interference of fragrance would affect the perfumer’s

judgement. Since the aroma of coffee itself was relatively strong, it could easily mask the other scents.

How could Melanie make such a simple mistake as a perfumer and director?

She either did not take perfumery seriously, or she was ignorant. “I…” She smiled awkwardly, “Of

course I knew! I came to check on you since you looked tired! If you can’t figure it out, stop and forget

about it for a while. Let’s go out and have a chat.’

Melanie pulled Olivia out of the lab and sat her on the sofa outside. She re-brewed the coffee diligently,

got some snacks and fruits, and placed them on the coffee table.

“You must be hungry. Have some snacks for now and I’ll treat you to something delicious later.”

Olivia held her hands in front of her protectively as she stared at Melanie in terror. “Ms. Thayer,

whatever it is, please just say it. You’re making me nervous!”

Melanie was speechless. She immediately spun around, clenched her fists tightly, and gritted her teeth

as she struggled to contain her fury.

It took her a while to cool down. When Melanie turned back around, she still had that smile on her face.

“Olivia, I know you misjudged me, but it’s okay. I don’t mind. I just came to chat with you. Nothing else.”

Melanie continued, “Look, it’s been so long since we’ve worked together and we haven’t had a friendly

conversation. You’re able to be friends with Lily without even working for her. Can’t you treat me as a

friend, too?” She spoke earnestly, looked at Olivia with a smile, and waited for her response.

Olivia still maintained a vigilant attitude, staring as Melanie spoke. After Melanie finished speaking,

Olivia blinked and shook her head decisively, “No!”

Melanie was speechless again.
