Chapter 603
After recovering from her shock, Lily laughed, “Mr. Adler, please don’t joke with me. According to my
understanding, I’m still too inexperienced to join the Perfumers‘ Society.” Lawrence shook his head
gently and explained, “We can’t use our old–fashioned views to look at society now. Society has
changed, and talented young people can are everywhere. One can always accumulate experiences as
one ages.
“However, you’re already talented, so why would you go through all that? Isn’t that unnecessary?
There’s no point in joining the society when you’re as old as me. What can people of my age do?” He
concluded while waving one of his palms in the air.
The man standing next to him had a pained expression. “Mr. Adler, what does that us if you consider
yourself too old? You’re still in your prime, and we can only look up to you say about
and admire your work. How can we, as juniors, compare to your achievements.”
“That’s right!”
“Yeah!”
Others around Lawrence agreed by adding, “Mr. Adler, your talent is hard to come by. You are one in a
million, and I dare say that no one can match your talent, at least not in a hundred. years.”
Lily was astonished by these perfumers from the Perfumers‘ Society. She never expected them to
speak this way. It was true that Lawrence’s talents were hard to come by and that he was the country’s
top perfumer, but to claim that there was not anyone like him, at least not within a hundred years, was
too much.
How would they know that no younger perfumers were more talented? Besides, they had not even
seen other perfumers from abroad. Some may not be as popular in terms of reputation because they
were more focused on producing better perfumes and not their popularity.
Take Wesley, for example. He was a very well–known perfumer in his own country as well. How could
Lawrence be so sure he was better than all of them?
Unfortunately, this was what the Perfumers‘ Society was like. Whenever someone complimented
Lawrence, the rest would follow suit. It was as if they were all his lackeys.
Lily could not make herself say something so fake, so she remained silent. She genuinely wondered
what his intentions were in coming to look for her. She had only intended to stay for a while before
leaving to look for Alexander. She wanted to call him, and if he was available, she wanted to return to
Sapphine City together.
However, she did not expect such a commotion to stop her, and from how Lawrence spoke, it looked
like he had no intentions of letting her leave.
“So, how about it?” Lawrence asked as he shifted his focus back to her. He lifted his head and looked
her in the eye. “Is my invitation not enough? Are you going to reject my offer as well?”
Lawrence might have sounded friendly on the surface, but he did not give Lily a choice from way he
had asked her. Since he had personally sent out the invitation, the society members would only view
Lily as insolent if she chose to turn down his offer.

After pondering for a short while, she smiled apologetically at Lawrence and took a few steps

back. Then she lowered her head and said, “I sincerely thank you for giving me such an opportunity.
Unfortunately, this came at such an abrupt timing that I’ve not yet mentally prepared myself to accept
it.”
“Are you honestly rejecting my offer?” Lawrence smirked and questioned Lily.
“I’m not trying to reject you. It’s just that I think I’m still unqualified to accept your invitation.” Lily’s
attitude was humble and respectful. “Firstly, I was excited when I heard the society had extended their
invitation to me. I immediately rushed over when I got the news, but…”
She glanced briefly in Noah’s direction and continued, “After staying here for the past two days, I finally
got a glimpse of what the Perfumers‘ Society is like. I realize my personality is unsuitable for joining as I
can’t contribute anything to the society. Plus, I would only create more trouble for the senior members.”
“Why would you…” Lawrence wanted to say something, but Lily continued, “I was preparing to leave,
but then you showed up. I’m sorry to have caused such a commotion to have you come all this way.
Why don’t I…”
