Spoiled by Mr. Russell novel Chapter 815

Compared to the Tanners, Lily had things going easy for her.

She had decided to take the job for the themed series. Firstly, it’s the first order of her studio. Second, she wanted to get more things done now that she knew she wasn't pregnant so she could focus on raising the child once she did become pregnant.

Seeing her get busier every day, Alexander felt happy for her.

“You aren’t worried about the Perfumers’ Society at all, huh?”

Although nothing would happen to her with him around, she looked as if she had forgotten all about it. He wondered what Noah Richards would think if he knew she didn’t care about his threat.

“Well, there’s nothing to worry about right from the start,” she said while crouching in the yard trimming the plants. Among the raw materials, two pieces of wood devoid of any leaves or flowers appeared dead.

She paid extra attention to these two seemingly useless pieces of wood. Every two or three days, she would water and fertilize them as if she were looking forward to something.

“You should know that the Perfumers’ Society is an authoritative figure in your circle.” While having tea under the pergola, Alexander enjoyed a rare moment of leisure and thought that buying the place was the right move.

It was not only her studio but also a place for him to take breaks from work.

“It’s an authoritative figure, all right.” Nodding, she used a garden trowel to mound a plant carefully. “Still, it has nothing to do with me. I don’t belong to them, and I don’t rely on them to make a living.”

She thought about it and looked over her shoulder at him. “Actually, I checked. You’ll only find such practicing licenses in our country, and they created them more than 20 years ago. There are only a handful of perfumers here, and some are more skilled than others. Many upcoming and talented perfumers have gone abroad due to many rules and regulations like this. The Perfumers’ Society has to be held responsible for the loss of our talents.”

“I’ve never planned to go against them and simply wanted to do my job. The certificate is indeed nothing, and we can pull some strings or spend money to get it, but I hate to do such things. If I compromise this time, what happens next? If they keep throwing new rules at us to disallow this and that, wouldn’t I be spending the rest of my life trying to take every single exam they might come up with?”

She concluded, “No, I only wish to do the one thing I like to do, which is to create the most satisfying perfume for me.”

She finished mounding, put down her trowel, and watered the plants as she let out a sigh of relief. She rose slowly to her feet, the heat making her face perspire.

“What are those two pieces of dead wood for?” He cocked his head and looked at them. She had spent time working on them when she was not in the studio for the past few days, but he could not tell what they were.

“They are great stuff that will come in handy.” She let out a mysterious smile. “I’ll tell you in the future.”
