Spoiled by Mr. Russell novel Chapter 1816

Rhea held her fingers together, then slowly loosened them as she walked over and reached out her hand. As she gradually parted her fingers and revealed a small translucent bottle lying in her palm, the man suddenly hesitated.

Without a word, Rhea simply held out her hand and looked at him, curling the corner of her lips.

The man retracted his hand, crossed his arms, and narrowed his eyes at her. “Open it!”

The man looked even more insignificant, crossing his arms like this with his stature. Yet he absurdly wanted to put on an authoritative appearance.

Rhea did not object and twisted the cap. There was a slight popping sound as the bottle opened. Soon after, a delicate, sweet-smelling scent slowly drifted and filled the air.

The man frowned and freed his crossed arms, taking out a handkerchief to cover his nose and mouth. “Who told you to hold it so close to me? Move it away a bit!”

The handkerchief muffled his voice, and there was a trace of panic in his eyes.

“Sir, the beauty of this ‘perfume’ is that it will only work when coming into contact with skin. Rest assured that it won’t impact you if you inhale it.” Rhea leaned closer to the bottle to prove her point and took a deep whiff from the opening.

She then closed her eyes and said, enjoying it, “What a wonderful smell!”

“I…” Rhea was stumped momentarily, then quickly answered. “My talent, of course! I’m not like her. You picked me when I was only 14! I’ve never let you down over these years.”

“You’ve never let me down, but…” After a pause, he said blandly, “You’ve never surprised me either.”

Rhea was speechless.

“The organization picks a candidate for a reason, whether you, Lily…” He paused and did not elaborate further. “All right, you think you’re better than her, but it’s not the time to compete with anyone. Just remember that personal feuds are nothing to our plan!”
