Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 783:

Marissa left Daniels Manor with the fake chip, heading to the Blue Shield Bar by herself. Meanwhile, Silver Fox and Burnet reached her room at the Palace Hotel.

Upon arriving, Silver Fox entered first and, out of habit, closed the door behind her. She never brought any man home.

Burnet, who almost followed her inside, narrowly avoided the door slamming on his face. He stared at the shut door, bewildered. Even as they were on the brink of getting married, she still wouldn’t let him into her room.

He hesitated to knock, then let his hand fall. It was crucial not to disturb her before they got married officially. Resigned, he chose to let her set the terms. Any upset could jeopardize everything.

Touching his nose, he stood outside the door, waiting.

Inside, Silver Fox spotted Araceli at the lab bench, deeply involved in mixing perfumes. The urgency of getting married to Burnet slipped from her mind as she watched Araceli work.

She admired Araceli’s relentless dedication. Since she took her on as a student, Araceli’s commitment to her craft had often meant her days and nights were indistinguishable.

“Elin, you’re back!” Araceli greeted her with a bright smile.

Silver Fox nodded and approached.

“Why didn’t you return to the hotel last night? Was there something urgent?” Araceli asked, her focus still on her experiment.

“Yes,” Silver Fox replied, her tone casual. She nodded toward the equipment, cautioning, “Be careful. Keep your hand steady.”

Araceli concentrated deeply on her experiment, not daring to speak further. Silver Fox stood silently beside her, watching attentively.

When Araceli finished crafting the perfume, she presented the bottle to Silver Fox with a proud smile. “Elin, this is ‘Summer Love,’ a new fragrance I’ve developed for the upcoming competition. Could you give me your thoughts on it?”

Silver Fox accepted the bottle, sprayed a bit in the air, and closed her eyes to fully experience the scent.

Araceli watched her closely, awaiting her judgment.

After a moment, Silver Fox opened her eyes, her lips curving into a subtle smile. “The combination of lemon, cardamom, and orange blossom as top notes, with jasmine, freesia, peach, and rose in the middle, and patchouli, sandalwood, and amber wood as the base creates a remarkable depth. It’s a perfect blend of sweetness and warmth, striking an ideal balance.”

Araceli listened intently, her eyes widening with surprise at Silver Fox’s praise. Though she anticipated some criticism, none came. Instead, Silver Fox’s approval flowed freely.

“This perfume is both gentle and assertive, refreshing and mood-lifting. Its unique character is exceptional.”

“Really?” Araceli couldn’t contain her astonishment. “Elin, is it genuinely as good as you say?”

“It truly is,” Silver Fox confirmed, her tone sincere.

Araceli, still battling her doubts, ventured, “Are there any flaws?”

“I couldn’t find any. It’s flawless,” Silver Fox responded. “And ‘Summer Love’—what a fitting name. It complements the perfume perfectly.”

Overwhelmed with joy, Araceli was speechless. The praise from Elin was more than she had hoped for her competition entry.

Setting the perfume aside, Silver Fox encouraged her, “This could hold its own on the international stage. Believe in your talent and don’t hold back.”

“Understood.” Araceli nodded, her resolve strengthening.

Just then, a knock at the door jolted them.

Silver Fox, realizing she had left Burnet outside during the long perfume discussion, felt a twinge of embarrassment.

As she moved to open the door, Araceli, eager to help, reached it first.noveldrama

Opening the door, Araceli was surprised to see Burnet. “Mr. Hoffman, what brings you here?” she inquired, puzzled at his presence
