NovelEnglishChapter 78: Once Lorna and Allison finished their work, Kellan handed Allison a tissue.
Thank you for your hard work, Miss Clarke, he commented, acknowledging the patience it took to handle a child.
Even the slightest improvement seemed like a glimmer of hope.
Allison accepted the handkerchief and wiped the sweat from her brow.
Upon noticing the logo, he joked: It's a limited edition, right.
You have to have important contacts to get one.
If | remember correctly, it's valued at about three thousand.
Kellan raised his eyebrows, surprised.
You have a good eye, Miss Clarke.
You seem to know a thing or two about these treasures.
| just discovered it on the Internet, Allison replied nonchalantly, then added with a playful smile, “But it seems
like you've been hiding your indulgences, Mr.
Lloyd.
” Kellan shrugged.
It was a gift from a business deal.
Nothing to get too excited about.
Her playful banter brought them a little closer, and Kellan found himself intrigued by Allison.
After the lesson, he escorted her out, instructing the elderly butler along the way.

Lorna has spent a good part of the day sculpting.
Make sure someone brings him something to eat.
She is very active and gets hungry quickly.
As Allison walked down the stairs, she looked around the villa.
It was one of the private residences on the Lloyd estate, hidden behind a forest and designed to reflect the
tastes of its owner.
The place exuded a cozy charm, full of personal touches.
A tall display case displayed a wide variety of perfumes, including rare and discontinued jewelry from renowned
perfumers, denoting a deep appreciation for the craft.
Listening to Kellan's conversation with the butler, Allison couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
The world described Kellan as a ruthless figure, but here he was, showing a surprising level of care for a child.
Mr.
Lloyd, there is no need for you to accompanyany further, Allison said politely, turning to face him.
| can find the way out.
But as he turned, his gaze caught something: a necklace Kellan was wearing.
He was dressed casually in a simple white shirt, with the top button undone, revealing a necklace.
The necklace was barely visible.
The design - two intertwined snakes - looked eerily similar to a snake bracelet her mother had once worn.
It seemed to belong to the scollection.
I'm not just here to see you off, Miss Clarke.
"There is another matter | would like to talk about," Kellan said, unaware of his subtle remark.
He spoke deliberately.
For years, | have struggled with incessant headaches.
| have visited countless doctors, but no one knows what the origin is.
His tone changed slightly as he continued: The strange thing is that the only relief | find comes from your
perfume.
The one you make by hand.
It helpsrelax at night and improves my sleep.
I've been searching for Scarlet Serpent for centuries, and | never expected to find the perfumer right in front of
me.
Kellan laughed to himself, remembering their first meeting, when Allison had kept a straight face while bluffing.
He had detected the scent of perfand thought it might take him somewhere.
Who would have imagined that the creator was right there, guiding him along such a tortuous path.
Who was going to tell you that you had that gift for detecting talent, Mr.
Lloyd.
Allison mocked with a light laugh.
Most people choose their perfumes based on the brand, but you choose them based on the artist.
| hadn't anticipated such a turn, but knowing that your perfcould ease someone's pain was gratifying.

| didn't know if it was the formula or the technique that made the difference.
I'm really interested in inviting you to join the Charisma Company, Kellan said.
with a firm look.
With your skills, we could elevate the brand to new heights.
Naturally, he would be more than willing to pay generously for the perfumes you created.
The collaboration he proposed was more than attractive.
Charisma Company had already skyrocketed in the market, bolstered by media exposure and Kellan's influence.
Investors flocked, driving up the company's stock.
If Allison con board, it would be a win-win for both parties.
But to Kellan, his presence was even more important.
Mr.
Lloyd, Allison laughed softly, her tone light but playful, "We have crossed paths many times and | would like to
think we are friends.
If my perfcan help you with your migraines, that is wonderful news foras a perfumer.
How could | charge a friend for it? He added a mocking tone to his voice and pointed to the necklace he was
wearing around his neck.
Besides, why complicate things? | admire your necklace, it's very pretty.
Why don't you give it toas payment? This keeps the sentence structure and meaning intact, while improving
