Chapter 135 - Bergamot (1/2)
”There will be a perfume contest in October. I was invited to be the judge. Do you want to register?” Esther asked.
Anya's face was bright and her eyes sparkled. However, a second later, she remembered her mother's message and shook her head, ”My mom won't let me take part in perfume contests.”
”Why?” Esther didn't understand why Diana did it.
”She said the time was not right and I had to wait patiently.” Anya answered.
Esther nodded, ”Your mother must have a reason. The registration deadline is September 15. There's still enough time to think about it!”
”If my mother wakes up before registration closes, I will ask her advice. If she hasn't woken up, I'll wait for the next opportunity.” Said Anya with a faint smile.
Esther could see the sadness on Anya's face when talking about her mother, so she immediately changed the subject.
”By the way, I like the two samples of your perfume. I like it very much! You really are talented!” Esther praised her.
”Miss Esther, don't praise me too much. I still need a lot to learn. There is no stopping for studying.” Anya humbly replied.
Esther laughed, ”It's great if you want to keep learning.” Then, she looked at her watch and said, ”I have to go to the Atmajaya Group company immediately to sign a contract. Then I'll meet up with a friend to talk about your new perfume.”
”I've found people to complete the required procedures.” Anya said.
Esther did not question who the person Anya was asking for help. She just said, ”Anya, Aiden really spoiled you. No matter what your past relationship with Raka is, you have to start learning to respect the people around you.”
Anya nodded, ”I've forgotten my past.”
”This is my notebook. You can read and learn about it.” Said Esther while handing her a leatherback book.
Anya accepted the book as if she was receiving a sacred valuable treasure, ”Am I really allowed to see the contents?”
”Those are just notes and experiences regarding several experiments in making perfume. I hope that book can help you.” Esther smiled as she said it, then immediately said goodbye, ”You can see it. I will go to the Atmajaya Group company.”
”Thank you, Mrs. Esther!” Anya accepted the book happily.
After Esther left the Rose Scent, Anya went down to the special perfume manufacturing area carrying the notebook.
Mila immediately brought a chair for Anya, ”Miss, please sit here.”
”You can call me Anya, no need to be too polite.” Anya said with a smile.
Mila hesitated for a moment because she was dealing with her boss's wife. However, in the end she did what Anya said, ”Anya, there is a job interview for the assistant parfumeur position at ten o'clock and Mrs. Esther is not at the shop. Can you replace her?”
Anya stared at her and immediately said, ”I can only make perfume. I have absolutely no experience interviewing someone!”
”I will keep you company. You just need to test the interviewee's knowledge of perfume and I can help with other things.” Mila said with a smile.
”Oh! Okay then.” Anya nodded.
”When the person comes, I'll tell you. I won't bother you anymore.” Mila turned to leave Anya to continue her work.
Anya sank back into Esther's notebook when suddenly someone brought a large bouquet of very beautiful flowers.
”Excuse me, there is a delivery for Miss Anya.” Said the person.
Hearing her name mentioned, Anya immediately raised her head and said, ”I am Anya.”
”These are flowers for you. Please sign here.” The person immediately handed over the flower he was carrying and all the shop's staff looked curiously at Anya.
After signing the receipt, Anya saw the flowers sent for her. It's a Bergamot!
A ripe bergamot was cut along with the twigs and branches, then surrounded with flowers and covered with exquisite wrapping paper.
