“What do you mean by that? What‘s his name? Let me see if I know the guy.”
“You‘ll find out soon enough!” Lily raiscellier hand and patted Olivia‘s shoulder.
Lily stood up and changed the topic, “Liv, it might be more challenging to create this new product, and
work would be fowler, 100.”
“You make it sound like our work was easy back then. Don‘t worry about it. Just lead the project and
leave the preparations to me” Olivia smiled. “I knew you‘re the best assistant I could ever ask for!”
When they returned to the labs, Lily first checked the extracted samples. They were, as expected,
nothing like what she wanted.
It was essential to use liigh–quality components, but the extraction and purification techniques
necessary to achieve the desired scent were also crucial. The complicated procedure had to be carried
out repeatedly before it could be considered a success.
The launch of a new perfume in the market involved many hours of hard work by the perfumers. Those
who would steal the products of others‘ labor were despicable.
“We failed again!” Olivia sighed, slightly disappointed. “It‘s normal to fail. When did we ever succeed
easily in the past? Plus, we‘re using a new ingredient this time around. It has a complex scent, so it‘ll
be even more challenging for us! What? Are you going to give up now?” After working together for so
many years, Olivia knew Lily was joking. “An easy research is lame. If we do this, I want to do the
hardest one!”
While talking, Olivia prepared for the next round of experiments. However, Lily stopped her. ” It‘s fine.
We‘ll continue tomorrow since it‘s late now. We‘re not in a hurry, anyway.”
It was getting late, and Alexander had reminded Lily to go home earlier that day. Although he seemned
overbearing, Lily enjoyed having someone care for her so much.
“Okay then. I‘ll think about how we may improve our experiments later at home.”
The two changed into their own clothes and headed downstairs. Just as they were about to leave the
lab, Jenny opened the door from outside.
She rushed into the lab with a grave expression. When she saw Lily and Olivia, she went to them
immediately.
“Jen?”
Lily went up to Jenny, but Jenny only glanced at hier before averting her gaze to Olivia. “You can‘t work
here anymore.”
Both Olivia and Lily were puzzled.
“What do you mean?”
“MN Inc. sent an official letter to us. They said Olivia had signed the non–compete clause, and she
won‘t be able to work in any company in the perfumery industry for a year, starting from the day she
resigned from MN Inc”
Jenny pulled out a piece of paper and handed it to them as she spoke, Olivia was stunned.
“Y– I didn‘t know about this!” Olivia had never seen this agreement before, let alone signed it. “He‘s
trying to get back at you, so it‘s natural that you know nothing about this.” Lily skimmel over the piece of
paper. She had heard about sidan agreement, though Acompany would require some of their resigning
employees to sign the non compete clause beraus of the que nature of their work It was for the
company‘s benefit, is the employees who nolit uld not work. Other Companies in the same industry for
a year
However, only employees who had access to a company‘s core techniques or business secrets would
be required to sign this agreement. It would not be necessary for Olivia to do it as she was just a
research assistant. Nathaniel was obviously doing this to get in their way.
