Ex-boyfriend, Please Accept My Revenge!Chapter 1
After months of sleepless nights, the perfume brand Charm launched by my company finally hit the market and achieved impressive sales performance.
"Monica, you are a great contributor to our company. You are also a wise helper and patron of Mr. Smith!"
The secretary to the president, Alice, looked at me with admiration.
I had been working overtime continuously, without combing my hair or washing my face. My clothes were wrinkled.
But the employees still thought highly of me.
I was the Chief Perfumer. Charm's success solidified all my efforts.
Edison once said, "A genius is made up of 99% effort and 1% talent."
This kind of saying wasn't true at all.
It gave people a strong illusion that they would succeed if they worked hard.
I advised you not to be brainwashed by such sayings.
Everyone deliberately ignored what Edison said afterward.
"But 1% of inspiration is the most important part, which is even more important than 99% of effort."
Perfumer was a profession that relied heavily on one's gift and talent.
The total number of excellent perfumers in the world didn't exceed 500.
"Mr. Smith has contracted a laser curtain wall, and he will propose to you tonight! So, Monica, hurry home. Take a shower, get changed, and get a beautiful hairstyle!"
Alice's tone was full of envy as she said, "Monica, you have accompanied Mr. Smith in starting a business, from a basement to the CBD. Now your career is successful. You also will bear fruits in love. I believe in love again!"
I smiled.
I knew that Henry Smith had been secretive these days. Not only did he contract a laser curtain wall, but he also ordered 9999 roses.
I found it a bit wasteful, but I wouldn't be a bummer by dissuading him.
I had to pretend to be in the dark as I awaited his "surprise".
After changing clothes, I went back to the company. I, who had been disheveled, looked rosy and refreshed.
No one needed to work overtime tonight, but everyone in the company stayed.
Everyone was waiting for the exciting moment to come.
At 8 p.m. ...
The iconic laser curtain wall of the CBD started to shimmer.
Artistic characters, which read, [Celebrating the launch of Charm Perfume!] were projected on it.
Sounds of applause filled the entire office.
A subtitle on the curtain wall continued to flash.
