“Y-You’re serious?”
It was not that Jenny doubted her capabilities. However, the effects of the moment were impactful. So
impactful that the aftermath would be long-lasting.
Lily was like this, even in the early days. It was hard to say how she would be later on. It was apparent
Lily was in a bad mood now. Jenny did not want to fight with her, so she said, “All right since you’ve
finished, pack up and leave. It’s getting late.”
“I’ll send her home,” Olivia volunteered.
They both took the bus. Once they got on board, the driver instinctively shouted to the back, “Hey,
ladies, are you sure you’ve used enough perfume?”
Olivia laughed, embarrassed. As a perfumer, having all kinds of scents on her was typical, and she did
not always smell good. The perfume ingredients were complicated, and making perfume was a
complicated process.
They had grown accustomed to receiving strange glances in public, but the potent, unique smell on
them today was rare. Even Olivia, who was used to immersing herself in all kinds of perfume
ingredients and had become seasoned with all sorts of scents, found it uncomfortable, not to mention
others.
Lily had something on her mind, but she did not say anything. As soon as she got into the car, she
looked out the window. No one knew what she was thinking.
The driver was talkative. Once he opened his mouth, he could not stop. He drove with one hand and
opened the window with the other as he asked, “I’m opening the window for the air to flow. I hope you
don’t mind.”
Olivia shook her head, looking shy. ‘It would be nice to have some night breeze.’
“Ladies, what brand of perfume did you use? The smell is so strong,” the driver asked as he drove.
“Just a basic brand,” Olivia joked.
The driver looked like he had just had a revelation. “No wonder it smells so strong. When it comes to
perfume, strong does not mean better smelling. Sometimes, a faint scent is enough to get people
hooked, the barely noticeable kind.
“I once met someone when she entered the bus, and I didn’t notice anything. I noticed how nice the
bus smelled when she was about to leave. The whole bus smelled so good after she left. I don’t know
what perfume brand she used, but it must be a notable one.”
“Why must it be a notable brand?” the previously quiet Lily suddenly asked. Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
Olivia and the bus driver turned their heads slightly to size her up through their peripheral vision. “It’s
self-evident. Only notable brand perfumes can last that long. As for the perfume, I think it was not only
a notable brand but an international one.
“I’m working hard to save. When I have enough money, I’ll buy my wife a bottle. It’s a pity that I don’t
know what brand it was. Sigh!”
Lily did not say much more. Only when she left the bus and the door was about to close, did she look at
the driver and say slowly, “The international brands are not necessarily the best.”
The driver was speechless, but he had already straightened his posture and closed the door. The driver
blinked. He guessed she was trying to justify herself, so he did not argue with her.
