The guests who had just fallen silent immediately perked up their ears again, unable to help but look in my direction.
You have to understand, many people tonight had come specifically to meet Ophelia from ZELING Perfume Company!
Magnus's eyes sharpened slightly, his probing gaze locked onto me.
After hearing my words, Harrison also seemed somewhat surprised, dropping his spectator attitude and saying with a smile: "Hello, Ms. Grimwald. How come it's you? Wasn't it said that Vivienne Blackthorn would come personally? Or are you Vivienne Blackthorn?"
"Of course not." I didn't hesitate to lie and deny Harrison's speculation.
Under his confused expression, I continued to explain: "I'm Vivienne Blackthorn's assistant! It's like this—Vivienne Blackthorn just returned to America and is extremely tired, but she was worried that refusing the Grant family's invitation would seem impolite, so she sent me to discuss cooperation on her behalf."
I wasn't at all worried about my lie being exposed. Not many people in the outside world knew about Vivienne Blackthorn's identity.
Originally, I didn't mind revealing my identity, but thinking about how Magnus was actually seeking medical treatment for Helena, I no longer wanted to mention it.
"I see."
After hearing my explanation, Harrison nodded in understanding.
"Mr. Grant shouldn't mind, should he? If you do mind, we can have our Ms. Ross discuss it with you instead."
Harrison met my gaze and said with a warm smile: "Of course I don't mind."
"ZELING Company's perfume formulas are currently the hottest commodity internationally. It doesn't matter much who I negotiate with, though I think it would be best to finalize things as soon as possible."
Harrison then said: "Ms. Grimwald, please follow me."
I nodded and followed Harrison upstairs to the office.
Magnus's gaze followed me throughout, his dark eyes revealing coldness, though his heart felt an inexplicable displeasure.
I followed Harrison to the hotel's upstairs office, which was relatively quiet and very suitable for business discussions.
Sitting on the sofa, I unconsciously surveyed this minimalist-style office, then heard Harrison speak: "This business deal is actually quite simple. The Grant family hopes to purchase ZELING Company's perfume formulas."
"I'm sorry, Mr. Grant, that proposal won't work."
I snapped back to attention and replied, my tone becoming serious and professional as it did during work.
"Regarding this cooperation, Vivienne Blackthorn's position is that we can provide partial formulas to improve the quality of your perfumes, but the formulas themselves are not for sale."
For any company, perfume formulas are the lifeline—the painstaking results of research and development teams. They absolutely cannot be sold!
Offering help with improvements was already showing tremendous sincerity.
Harrison's smile faded considerably, clearly somewhat dissatisfied with this result.
However, he also understood how difficult it was to buy perfume formulas from ZELING Company. If positions were reversed, he wouldn't agree to such cooperation either.
Being able to obtain partial formula improvements was already quite good—at least domestically, the Grant family could maintain first place, bringing them one step closer to the international market.
"Alright, then let's go with Vivienne Blackthorn's terms. However, I have one requirement regarding the perfume formulas..."
With Harrison's cooperation, both parties negotiated for an hour and finally settled on the specific details of the collaboration.
Both of us were satisfied with the results.
Tonight's mission was successfully completed, and my heart finally settled down.
"Then it's agreed. Regarding the contract, the Grant family will send people to ZELING Company to sign it."
I nodded and said softly: "Yes, here's to a pleasant cooperation."
Standing up, I said to Harrison: "Since we've finished discussing business, Mr. Grant, I'll take my leave now."
Harrison probably understood that I didn't want to stay longer, so he nodded in agreement: "Then let me have someone escort you."
"No need, someone is coming to pick me up."
I politely declined his offer and left the office.
The banquet downstairs was still at its peak. When I came down, no one noticed me.
I also didn't want to attract any attention, so I left the hotel directly.
In the banquet hall, Magnus held a wine glass, lazily swirling it, occasionally chatting with people nearby.
Looking at him, I felt a wave of cold mockery in my heart.
After leaving the banquet hall, I called Annie to come pick me up. Then I took the elevator downstairs.
Just as the elevator doors were about to close, someone suddenly pressed the button to hold them open.
I was looking down at my phone when I raised my eyes and inadvertently saw a man with long strides stepping slowly inside.
I froze, my whole body suddenly tensing up, even my breathing became lighter as an uncomfortable feeling spread throughout my body.
Magnus... why was he here?
He shouldn't be here for me, should he?
You have to understand, many people tonight had come specifically to meet Ophelia from ZELING Perfume Company!
