Spoiled by Mr Russell (Lily Christian and Alexander) novel Chapter 102

Chapter 102

Nathaniel was surprised when he received a call from Eloise, but he had no reason to refuse her help. He only wished for Frank to solve his company‘s problems and help them succeed When they went to pick Frank up at night, Melanie‘s attitude toward him changed completely Earlier, she was unsure if he was a true perfumer or a conman, but she felt more assured knowing that Eloise got him to help them.

Eloise belonged to Emerald City‘s elite social circle, where the rich and powerful congregated. Melanie was sure Frank could assist them because he had connections with people at the top of their respective fields.

“Mr. Moreau, we‘re glad you‘re here to help us!” Melanie offered to pour him a drink

She was wearing a maroon, strapless dress close to the color of the bottle of wine. Frank remained neutral toward their acts of currying favor. “Ms. Neville helped me before this, and it‘s my turn to repay her now. I‘ll fulfill whatever that I promised to do.”

Nathaniel nodded quickly. “Yes, I‘m sure this is just a piece of cake for you, Mr. Moreau. No matter what, we still appreciate your help!”

Frank took a sip of wine and looked up slowly. His gaze fixed on Melanie‘s face, scanning her features from her forehead to the tip of her nose, lips, and finally, her chin.

Frank‘s behavior displeased Nathaniel, but he refrained from reacting because of Frank‘s identity and the fact that he was there to assist them.

“You‘re a perfumer too?” Frank asked.

Melanie was stunned for a moment before she nodded quickly. “Yes, I am! We‘re both from the same industry, but I definitely can‘t compare to you. You‘re the master, and at most, I‘m just an amateur next to you.”

She entertained him and tried to be as humble as she could.

“Didn‘t you win several awards and created a few popular perfumes before?” Frank picked up his wineglass and asked indifferently.

Melanie was unsure what Frank wanted to know. She glanced at Nathaniel, only to find that he was just as confused as her. “I just got lucky. I still have a lot to learn, and I hope I can learn a lot from you,” Melanie answered.

“You got lucky?” Frank laughed, his tone laced with a hint of mockery. “In this field, some perfumers are talented, some are more hardworking than the rest, some were allowed to shine, but none got lucky!”

“Well...” Melanie felt awkward, not knowing what to say.

“You‘re considered an experienced perfumer, yet you can‘t even differentiate the differences in the formula?”

Frank’s words were sharp while his gaze was judging her every move. It made Melanie feel uncomfortable and anxious. Her cheeks were red, perhaps from embarrassment.

Biting down on her lip, she said, “Mr. Morean, it‘s not that I can‘t differentiate it, but Lily is just too cunning!”
