Chapter 593 “What if I’m not interested?”
Noah was taken by surprise. “Are you sure?”
He could understand if Lily wanted to venture overseas. Still, she rejected Wesley‘s invitation and
insisted on developing her career domestically.
Since she had chosen to stay in Sapphine, the Perfumers‘ Society would be the most authoritative
body in the industry within the country. This bait should be taken without any hesitation by anyone,
making Noah wonder, ‘Why is she uninterested? Is she playing hard to
get?
“Mr. Richards, that‘s why you went through so much trouble to trick me into coming here? You must‘ve
spent a lot. All of this could‘ve been settled with just a phone call.”
At this point, she did not want to beat around the bush anymore. Being direct about the topic could
save her a lot of energy.
“Trick?” Noah shook his head, chuckling. “I invited you here sincerely. How could you say that I tricked
you? Also, aren‘t you enjoying your stay here? If you could be a part of the Perfumers‘ Society, you‘ll
get to stay in Kingsland. Not only that, you‘ll get access to all the raw materials you never would‘ve
imagined existed. The society provides great benefits to its members too. I assure you that you‘ll only
get more from here than you get in Rebirth.” “Mr. Carter, did you know about my remuneration package
in Rebirth? How are you so sure that the society will provide something better than that?” Lily asked
indifferently, smiling. Noah paused and came to realize what Lily meant. “Yeah, I know that an ordinary
perfumer wouldn‘t get much from Rebirth. Still, as the future wife of La Beauté Group‘s CEO, you
wouldn‘t put that much regard on monetary compensation.”
Then, he leaned closer toward Lily, “You inight not care about things like money, but as a professional
perfuiner, don‘t you want to get access to top–notch materials? Don‘t you want to use more advanced
instruments in conducting your research? We can give you anything La Beauté Group provides, and
we can give you the things they can‘t as well!”
He was proud saying that.
Lily was silent for a moment. Noah was right. She could not care less about other things, but the top–
notch raw materials were the essence of her career. La Beauté Group‘s financial capabilities and status
in the industry could provide her with everything she needed, but that would mean they needed to put
in extra effort and resources to cater to her needs.
It was a different case for the Perfumers‘ Society. If she became a member, she would have a solid
support system, and they had branches everywhere in the country. They were professionals in the
industry, after all.
However, Lily did not accept the invitation.
“It sounds great, but I‘m still not interested.” Shrugging, she said, “If there‘s nothing else, I‘m going to
catch up on some sleep. I slept quite late last night.”
Noah was rendered speechless.

Before he could speak, she added again, “Oh right, I’d like to return to Sapphine by evening today if
possible. Thanks for your warm hospitality in the past two days!”
“Lily, you’re going to regret this!” Noah said as he looked at her back. He could not help but. got up to
his feet when he heard that she was again rejecting his invitation.
“Perhaps,” Lily said but showed no signs of hesitation on her face. “Not now, though.”
Noah did not expect that things would end in such an ugly manner. He came into the place. confidently,
never imagining he would be rejected. He had not considered how he would go. about things should
she refuse him.
That was because he had never thought that she would reject his invitation. He was even ready. to
watch her cry joyfully, expressing her gratitude for him. This was completely different from what he had
imagined!
When Lily disappeared down the hallways, he turned around and exited through the door. After some
thought, he stopped walking and stood in the yard, looking around.
Other than the variety of flowers, there was only one tall tree in the middle of the yard, which was lush
and green. The walls around the yard were high, similar to that of a prison wall. The door had not been
damaged, so he thought that the only possible way that Lily would have gotten out was by climbing
over the wall, which was one of the impossible ways
