Chapter 367
Lily smiled. "To be honest, there's no need for me to guess at all. The personal touches of
these two perfumes are very obvious.
They both have a very distinct smell, with a strong orchid note."
She paused and cast a deep look at Wesley. "It's very similar to the perfume you wear."
"So, your final answer is?" Wesley seemed unmoved by her words as he stood there
expressionlessly, neither hinting whether she was right or wrong.
"You made those two perfumes; they were your products," Lily answered affirmatively.
"Are you sure?" Wesley raised his eyebrows and laughed. "You must know that many
people gave that answer, or should I say, most people did. Moreover, I remembered from
your answer sheet that you clearly stated considerable differences between the two
fragrances."
"Yes, I'm sure!" Lily nodded before explaining, "Although the two fragrances are very different, I also
wrote another point on the answer sheet. The base notes of the two perfumes are the same. A

the other, I suppose, is something you've worked on recently.
"In other words, you've made some changes along the way. As perfumers, in addition to constantly
creating new fragrances, we will get different inspirations and constantly work on our previous
products.
“No matter how perfect our work is, we always strive for it to be better. Also, as you age, the
experiences you've gained will change your thinking. Therefore, it's not unusual for you to come out
with
something so different."
At this point, Lily had finally moved Wesley. "Have you studied my work?"
"Just a little. After all, you're one of the top perfumers in the industry. As upcoming perfumers, we
should dabble in and understand the works of our predecessors."
"Then can you tell me what is your favorite and least favorite work of mine?" Wesley asked,
genuinely interested in her answer.
Lily would never shy away from such discussions, and before she knew it, the two began to chat
away. Time passed in a blink, and it was only when someone knocked on the door that the two
stopped talking. "Mr. Parker?"
Wesley immediately frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"
Without saying a word, the man pushed open the door and glanced inside before hesitantly saying,
"Someone is here to pick Ms. Christian up."
Wesley glanced at his watch unhappily; he had no idea it was already so late in the day. Time had
passed so quickly without him realizing it. It had been a long time since he had such an engaging
conversation.
All his doubts and disdain about Lily had disappeared in this short period. He was now
looking at her with admiration.
"Lily," he called out, ignoring all formalities. "I appreciate your insights and knowledge on
perfumes. Would you be interested in joining my team and me to further your perfumery
journey?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLily was taken aback by this offer; she did not expect him to lay it on the table like this.
It was an honor to be offered a place on Wesley's team. It was the greatest affirmation
one could get as a perfumer. However, at this moment, she hesitated. As a perfumer,
Lily was keen on producing her own line of fragrances. She had missed too many
opportunities recently as Nathaniel sold her works under someone else's name.
Although this offer was tempting, she still shook her head and declined. "Thank you very
much for your offer, but I think I would like to cont inue developing in Hyderland. My
current company serves me well, and I still have much to learn. In any case, I am still
very grateful for the assurance you've given me with this offer!"
Wesley was surprised. He did not think Lily would reject him. Over the years, no one
had rejected his offer. They would all, without exception, agree without a second
thought.
"I'm sure you're aware that Westwood is the city of perfumes. Although I'm not trying to
look down on Hyderland, over the years, I've yet to see Hyderland producing any top-tier
perfumers. You're wasting your talent there." He felt it was a pity for her to reject his
offer.
