Chapter 577
Before Eloise could even say anything, Arianna smiled. “It’s just a passing thought. Won’t it be great if it
did happen, mom?”
Looking at Arianna, Eloise stayed silent for a while before she said, “Y-Yeah.”
Although Eloise constantly had sinister thoughts, she would never go to that extent, regardless of the
other means she had tried to use. She did not have the guts to kill anyone. However, she began to
wonder if Arianna had brought it up unintentionally, or could it be… When Eloise worriedly looked at
Arianna and noticed her head lowered, innocently enjoying her dessert, Eloise brushed it off as
overthinking.
Although the Perfumers’ Society was not that popular, it was regarded highly among people in the
perfumery industry.
Those who were part of the society would have several awards in their hands. Of course, the
perfumers were not young. Therefore, Lily was surprised to receive an invitation from them. After all,
she was still relatively new to this industry and did not have many qualifications.
However, she decided to see this as a learning experience.
When Lily landed in Kingsland, she did not expect the Perfumers’ Society to send someone to pick her
up from the airport.
The chauffeur brought her to a place with a small courtyard. One would say the value of this small
courtyard was higher than any high-rise building in this city, as every inch of land was precious in
Kingsland.
‘I never knew that the Perfumers’ Society was so extravagant.’ Lily wondered. She had never heard
anyone mentioning that before.
All sorts of flowers filled the small courtyard. Lily could tell at a glance that the workers cared very well
for it. However, it seemed like she was the only one living here. Lily wondered if the other participants
were late or if the organizing committee had provided each participant with a place like hers. If that
were the case, the Perfumers’ Society must be filthy rich.
“You may rest first, Ms. Christian. We will get going now,” the man who helped put her luggage away
said.
“Wait a minute,” Lily called out; she had to make sure. “Am I the only one living here, or are other
people around? Also, how far is the hall from here? Another thing, how do I contact you?
“There’s a box on the table in the room. You’ll understand once you take a look at it.” After saying that,
the person left.
Although Lily faintly felt that this trip was a bit strange, the only thing she could do now was to
understand what was going on, so she turned to enter the room.
There, she saw the wooden box on the table and lightly reached out to touch it. After intuitively feeling
like nothing fishy was inside, she unclasped and opened the box. Inside, there were several
transparent vials and an envelope.
When she opened the envelope, there was a letter inside that was directed to her.
“Dear Ms. Christian, how are you? You must be wondering why you were sent here instead of a hotel.
We, perfumers, shouldn’t hang around filthy places like hotels. Although the yard isn’t big, it is full of
natural fragrances. I believe you’ve already guessed it by now. Yes, this is your first test. Please make
at least two different scents within a week. Of course, it cannot be one of the typical perfumes in the
market. As for the required equipment, you can find them in this house.
“If you do not pass the first test, we will not meet, and you will not get the opportunity to join. the
Perfumers’ Society. If you manage to pass this test, I will come and greet you in person. Of course, you
can choose to refuse this offer and leave now. However, note that once you do that, you won’t be able
to join the society again, and…”
The letter was unfinished, leaving room for the recipients to decipher it. Lily had no idea if this was how
people got in or if there was another reason behind this.
