The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 1100

David took a few sips of water to clear his throat before speaking. "You mentioned how hard it is to find a skilled herbalist. Can we really expect them to charge a low price?"

The assistant awkwardly scratched his head, saying, "But asking for a share in the herbal profits seems a bit much, doesn't it?"

The association dealt with a huge amount of herbs every year, and even a tiny fraction of the profits was significant.

David set his cup down and gave the assistant a sideways glance. "If you could cultivate a rare variety yourself, I'd give you a share too. But do you have what it takes?"

The assistant immediately looked down, avoiding eye contact.

David shook his head. "You all just think too small."

The assistant didn't dare say anything else.

David tapped his fingers on his knee, thinking for a moment. "Alright, set up a meeting with this herbalist for tomorrow. I'll talk to him myself."

The assistant looked up, surprised. "You're going to speak with him personally?"

"Yeah." David didn't elaborate further. Then he remembered something and turned to his assistant. "Did we get a package this afternoon?"

He recalled Mirabella saying she’d send a same-day delivery.

"Yes," the assistant nodded. "I'll fetch it for you right away."

"Go on, hurry," David urged, which was unusual for him.

The assistant quickly left the office to retrieve the package and soon returned with it.

David used a small pair of scissors to open the box, pulling out a porcelain jar, eager to see what was inside.

As he caught a whiff of the contents, David's eyes widened with surprise. Even though it was labeled as a grade-S remedy, the intense, refined aroma was beyond the usual grade-S quality.
