After a few days of hard work in the lab, the result finally arrived. Lily was holding a small bottle of amber-colored essential oil, handling it as if it were a priceless treasure. Olivia was also very excited as she kept saying it smelt so good. The lab was full of this unique fragrance.
She had never discovered this fragrance before. To be precise, it was as if several kinds of floral scents were fused, which one could smell precisely. It also had an aroma that herbs had, which smelled relaxed and refreshing.
Although Lily only extracted such a small bottle of essential oil, this raw material should be enough to make a themed series, which fit her vision very well.

"Olivia, please put this in a cool place. We'll move on to the next step," Lily instructed as she took off her gloves to wash her hands. Then she looked at the experimental data to ensure everything was right.
Immediately after, she sat in front of the computer to send an email. She called Lisa, "The thing you want will be ready within half a month. It should be ready in time for your event." "That is great, Lilsy! | knew you could do it!" Lisa said happily, then paused before continuing, "By the way, | heard you seem to be in a little trouble recently. Do you need my help?" "No need. As you said, it’s only a little trouble. There is nothing you need to do," Lily said smilingly. Moreover, Lisa could not help much here.
"Okay then!" Lisa said without prying, "By the way, Mr. Corden is coming over in the next few days. Do you have time to meet? He said he wanted to invite you to dinner." "Mr. Corden?" Lily was stunned and thought about the wealthy Hylander businessman in Westwood. "No need for the trouble. Besides, | don’t have much interaction with him." "We are all friends! Besides, Nick misses you and often talks about you." Lily smiled as she thought of the little boy she once saved. "Let's plan something soon, then." "Well, | leave the themed series perfume to you. Gosh, | want to go and see it now. | can just smell the fragrance through the phone!” Listening to her exaggerated tone, Lily laughed loudly. "All right, you can come and see when it's ready. Now is not the time yet." She had only extracted the raw essential oils, and there would be four models with the essential oil used as the perfume base. Then she would add different ingredients to adjust each scent. The final product should have a unified perfume base, but each was unique in its own right.
"Okay, then I'll..." At this moment, the doorbell rang. Olivia walked over and glanced at the access control screen. She was stunned when she saw a few police-looking people standing outside.
"Lily..." Olivia whispered.
Lily noticed something was amiss about Olivia's voice, so she said to Lisa, "I still have things to do. I'll call you later!" After hanging up, she walked toward Olivia. "What's wrong?" Olivia pointed to the screen, and Lily glanced at it and frowned slightly.

‘Is the Perfumers’ Society finally taking action?’ Still, it did not matter as this issue had not yet risen to the legal level. They could ask a few questions and do civil mediation at most.
"It's okay. Open the door," Lily ordered as she turned around to clean up the things on the lab table. After a while, there was some noise outside, and then Olivia walked in with the police. The atmosphere did not feel right.
"Which one of you is Lily?" Someone asked loudly.
Lily turned her head. "Il am."
