Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 131

At that moment, it was difficult for her to back down. Melanie, conscious of the audience’s eyes on her, forced herself to recall the process and to keep a level head. It was not only a matter of taking a sample, stating a few words, or even figuring out the general formula and ingredients. What if Melanie said something wrong that she could not take back? Due to the overwhelming tension, even holding a test strip made her hands tremble. After she completed a series of procedures, there was still a faint lingering aroma on the tip of her nose. She thought long and hard about the ingredients so that she could give a brief description of them. That would be preferable to saying nothing at all.

“Ms. Thayer?”

As soon as the host spoke, she responded quickly, “I like this fragrance. Light and elegant scents are my go-to, and this one has won me over. Whoever the perfumer is, I imagine they value peaceful silence and enjoy a serene garden view with birds and blooming flowers.

“By the way, this perfume has the delicate fragrance of chrysanthemums. I think it should contain essential oils extracted from dried chrysanthemums?”

Even if her first sentence appeared to be well–organized, her subsequent ones revealed a distinct lack of confidence. That question was tentative. She did not know what to say, but she also knew she could not remain silent or start spouting nonsense.

What mattered was completing the level. “This…” The host hesitated. Melanie‘s heart throbbed in suspense. “I don‘t know what ingredients are inside, but after listening to Ms. Thayer‘s description, it sounds delightful! Why don‘t we invite the creator of this perfume and let him answer it in person? Let‘s see how accurate Ms. Thayer is!” After a brief lull in the pressure, things tensed up again.
