Chapter 56

On the surface, Lily appeared to be a gentle person and a pushover. However, every word that she had just said was biting. It was true that Jenny wanted to make things difficult for Lily, but after being called out so blatantly by her, Jenny could not do it anymore.

“Three challenges!” Jenny bit her lip and yelled, “Since we‘re all equals, everyone who joined my project had to go through three challenges, so you‘ll do the same.” Lily stood up straight and nodded earnestly. “Okay! Since everyone here has done it, I‘ll do it as well. However, I‘d like to know what the second challenge is. Wait, or is it the first challenge? Since the one before might just be a trial run.”

Lily looked as if she was genuinely curious about the rules of the challenges, but in fact, she was making sure that Jenny could not impose any sudden changes. Initially, Jenny wanted to make the previous challenge a trial run, but after Lily called her out again, she decided against it. C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

“I‘ve already declared that you‘ve passed the first challenge. No one would suggest that it was just a trial run. What kind of company do you think we are?” Jenny snapped in annoyance.

“Of course, I think it‘s part of my company too!” Lily responded cheerily. “... All right, enough with the unnecessary flattering. It won‘t work on me. Don‘t forget that you still have two challenges to go, and they‘ll only get increasingly difficult. Don‘t come crying to me the next time you fail,” Jenny said forcefully.

“Don‘t worry, just like you, I‘ll honor our wager!” When Lily intentionally emphasized the word honor, Jenny‘s face darkened.

“All right, that‘s it for today!” As soon as Jenny announced the meeting to be over, everyone in the room scattered to gather their things and leave the room swiftly.

Lily knew that things between them were far from done. For that reason, she waited for Jenny outside the door.

As soon as the last person cleared the room, Jenny stood up from her chair and said, “You got lucky today. The following two challenges won‘t be so simple, and I should remind you that you won‘t fool me easily.”

“Are you saying the other two challenges won‘t happen today?” Judging from how Jenny talked, she did not plan to finish all three challenges today.

It would only be a waste of time to drag this on. It was not the issue between Lily and MN Inc., but it was more about herself. She adored her job, and even the ongoing problems with MN Inc. did not dim her enthusiasm for being a perfumer.

“Of course, it won‘t!” Jenny snapped. “Do you think I‘ve got nothing else to do but come up with challenges for you? Besides, you‘ve taken this seriously, and I would need time to develop the content for the challenges.” “Then... when will the next one be?” If Jenny decided to prolong it indefinitely, it would be the same as not accepting her into the team.

Jenny turned to look at Lily, “Why? Are you afraid that I would delay it indefinitely?”

“Yes, that‘s what I‘m afraid of!” Lily replied right away. Taken aback by her honesty, Jenny responded with a smile, “Fine. Since you‘re honest with me, I‘ll also do the same. Even though I‘d love to make this difficult for you, I‘m not someone who would stoop so low. Give me three days, and I‘ll get things done and inform you about the next challenge.”

Lily nodded with satisfaction. “Then, what should I do for these three days?”
