Chapter 149

The man in charge of the nursery did not exaggerate its size as it was indeed enormous. After walking
around the entire morning, Lily and Jenny probably visited only a third of the site, and their legs were
already sore. “Let‘s get ready to head back soon. Later, we‘ll get them to send us samples of all the
flowers they have so we can compare them and decide which ones to use. Our task is basically done
after that.” Jenny dusted her hands, her face dotted with sweat from the heat.

There was a considerable contrast in the temperatures between the day and evening. It was still
bearable in the morning, but it was sweltering now, even after they removed their cardigans.

“I want to look around a little longer,” Lily said.

“Huh?” Jenny was surprised. “At what? I think we‘ve seen enough. Even if we spend all day here, we
probably won‘t be able to see everything because the place is so big. How about this? What species do
you want to look at specifically? I‘ll get someone from the nursery to drive us there.”

It would be too exhausting for them to keep walking! “It‘s fine. I just want to look around and see if I can
discover anything new, that‘s all.” “The nursery‘s office has the samples for all the flower species and
has the best selections. It‘s not much different from what we see here.” Although that was what Jenny
said, she gave in after seeing Lily‘s insistence. “Okay then. I‘ll go with you.” Jenny was right as that was
what everyone in the industry would do. The perfumers would first look at the samples before deciding
the species and amount of flowers used in their products.

Then, the nursery would deliver the goods to them. Most perfumers would not walk the entire nursery
just to search for the flowers they want. “Thanks, Jen.” Although Lily felt slightly guilty, she would not
give up. It was true that the nursery‘s office had all the samples, but what she wanted was not only
flowers!



Mother nature was rich with resources. Other than flowers, there were grasses, trees, and various
types of plants. All of these could be the extraction sources for the fragrances, and they might be
overlooked unless someone personally hunted for them. Recently, Lily had gotten a new idea, but she
had yet to find a suitable ingredient. She wondered if she could get anything from there.

Perfumers used their current emotional state as inspiration for making new scents, but it was
sometimes difficult to convey those emotions to others. Hence, she could only look around herself
instead of asking someone to do it in her place.

The bed was empty. Nobody else was around, and it felt like she had awakened from a dream. Gritting
her teeth, she sucked in a deep breath before she moved from the center of the bed to

The corner, where she slowly placed her legs on the ground. Just as she slipped her feet into the
slippers, she heard the bathroom door opening. Then Frank walked out with a towel wrapped around
his torso.

“Ouch...” She gasped subconsciously. Seeing him made her panic, and her gaze was all over the
place.

When she saw him stride toward her, her instinct was to run away and escape from the man, but where
could she possibly go? Frank had already reached her when he slowly bowed down, placing his hands
on either side of her body to trap her in the middle. “Babe, you’re awake?” He held her chin and lifted
her head.
