Chapter 240

It was the same this time. She could smell alcohol on him but could question nothing. All she could do
was cover her nose with her hand and frowni.

“Did you drink?”

“Your nose is that sensitive?” He smiled with indifference and moved closer to her.

“Can you smell what I‘ve eaten?”

The smell of alcohol became stronger as he approached her. It made her feel sick, and she hurriedly
took a few steps back. “Don‘t do that!”

“Don‘t tell me you‘re slıy. This is also a part of your training. You must have a sensitive nose to work as
a perfumer, right?” Frank laughed and reached out to touch her cheek.

Melanie was not interested in continuing the conversation. “Okay, stop playing! Time is running out, and
we need to find out the problem quickly. Remember what you promised me? Are you able to do this in
your current condition?”

“Are you very clear whether I am able to?” Frank reached out to press the elevator button while he
looked at her meaningfully from top to bottom. Melanie was speechless.

They soon arrived at the laboratory where the new products were being researched. The door had
been locked, and the things inside had been put away. Fortunately, she had inquired ahead of time and
knew where the failed samples were. She carefully turned on the light while feeling uneasy.

There was no one else in the lab except the night–duty guard. She had informed the guard that she
would work overtime and not to disturb her. After instructing the guard, she took the elevator down to



the basement parking and waited for Frank‘s arrival.

She did this to ensure they were not disturbed and could figure out what was wrong with the formula.

“Come and see!” Melanie walked to the counter and placed some small bottles she had taken out.

“These are the recently failed samples. They were prepared exactly according to the formula that you
gave. The proportions are accurate, but the smell isn‘t right. They seem to contain impurities. They
don‘t smell pure.” Melanie placed great importance on this, as it was related to her future. “In my
opinion, one of the ingredients used may have some problems. Could it be lavender? I think your other
ingredients may conflict with it. What do you think?” After waiting a while for a response, she turned
around. She saw Frank leaning against the table behind him as if he had fallen asleep. Melanie felt an
instant burst of anger!

“Frank! You promised that you‘re here to help me! How could you do this?” Keeping her tone down, she
called his name angrily. “I took a break, as I‘m a little tired. Don‘t make a fuss! The smell slightly differs,
right? It‘s

not a big deal.” Frank stretched himself and said in a lazy tone.

“The environment, humidity, and temperature will all affect the result. This is basic stuff. Don‘t tell me
you don‘t understand?” He walked past her unhurriedly and took away the bottles before he sniffed
them for a while.

“Trash!” He threw them into the trash can beside him.

“W–Wait” Melanie had not expected him to do this in a flash and was too late in stopping him.

“What if I get discovered tomorrow?!”



He smiled mockingly, “Tomorrow? You‘ll have the successful products tomorrow. Why do you still need
to keep these trash products?”

“Are you serious?!” Melanie‘s anger subsided and was replaced with excitement after hearing his
words.

“Look at you. You can‘t control your emotions at all!” Frank shook his head and started fetching some
raw materials and experimental tools from the supplies room. “Even if your products are successful,
people could see right through your lie if you keep acting this way.” Melanie watched his movements
intently as she could not contain her excitement. In her view, he was holding the key to her bright
future!
