RankNovelChapter 119: Representatives of several perfcompanies gathered in front of the imposing building, visibly
amazed by its splendor.
Incredible! With just a glance, you can tell that Charisma Company is under the wing of the renowned Lloyd
Group! commented one of them, their eyes wide with admiration.
As they marveled at the lavish design of the building, their curiosity about the elusive Charisma Company was
on the rise.
After tirelessly lobbying their respective companies, they had finally achieved the rare privilege of visiting this
enigmatic place, a coveted opportunity that they were eager to explore.
It was common to exchange impressions among colleagues, but partnering for the first twith a major player
like Charisma It inevitably left them on tenterhooks.
They started on the ground floor, toured the company and, with each step, their astonishment increased.
The equipment in this laboratory is cutting-edge! "It's leagues ahead of what we have," exclaims one of the
representatives, impressed by the cutting-edge technology.
At the back of the group, Colton and Melany walked hand in hand, shamelessly showing their affection.
While the others marveled at the perfcreations, Melany's attention was elsewhere.
His eyes were shining with excitement as he saw the high-tech laboratory equipment.
He fantasized about the idea of the Stevens Group expanding into the perfindustry.
If they did, she was determined to get her hands on sof these high-level labs.
However, her smile faltered when her gaze fell on Allison.
Colton, that's Allison over there.
How cshe's already working at the Charisma Company? Her voice betrayed a hint of disbelief.

Not far from them, Marc, eager to gain Melany's favor after benefiting from her influence, noticed her.
displeasure and took the opportunity.
With a sly smile, he spoke.
Well, well, he chuckled, with a tone full of mischief.
That's our newly appointed leader.
He must be very talented, right.
The subtlety of his words did not go unnoticed by the others.
When his eyes turned to Allison, still so young and fresh-faced, skepticism began to stir.
Melany's expression changed slightly.
So that's why he has suddenly joined the Charisma Company.
It must be because of his ‘contacts’.
What envy, right? She is the champion of the Perfumery Contest, but instead of creating new fragrances in the
laboratory, she spends her tlazing around playing with the computer.
It must be nice to have such an easy job, he said, his voice dripping with feigned innocence, but the sharpness of
his tone was unmistakable.
Getting a promotion so quickly.
It's very unfair to those who have been working for years to get promoted, he added with a a bitter smile on her
lips.
Colton, pulling her closer, ran his fingers through her hair in a gesture of comfort.
However, his laugh was cold.
What does someone who rises for connections have to envy? It's pathetic, really.
Encouraged by Colton's prick, Marc and the others becemboldened, eagerly awaiting any opportunity to
further tarnish Allison's name.
Thea, who never missed an opportunity, joined them with a mocking laugh.
Well, let's not rush.
She must have extraordinary skills, but | agree that promoting her directly to lab manager seems hasty.
It doesn't exactly follow the usual promotion process.
Poor Marc.
Oh, it's okay, it's okay.
These things happen at work.
I've gotten used to it, Marc responded, feigning grace, although his smile betrayed his true feelings.
After all, he has contacts.
Their voices mixed in shared sarcasm, creating an atmosphere full of sarcastic undertones.
The others exchanged uncertain glances, and soon, someone spoke hesitantly.
But Miss Clarke is not just anyone: she is the champion of the Perfumery Contest and the famous Scarlet
Serpent.
I doubt he needs contacts.
Mr.
Lloyd probably invited her personally.

Please, another scoffed.
Even a genius has to earn a living.
It wouldn't be surprising if he pulled sstrings.
Although they tried to hide it, their disdain for those who depended on contacts was evident in their expressions.
At that moment, Melany's delicate voice rang out as she pushed open the door, filling the laboratory with her
presence.
Hello, Allison.
| didn't expect to find you here.
His words dripped with mocking concern.
This is crossing the line.
They make you head of the laboratory - against protocol, | might add - and instead of developing perfumes, you
sit here, tinkering with the computer.
What do you think people will say? This isn't good for your reputation.
Colton's voice, heavy with sarcasm, echoed his own.
And you here, Melany, so thoughtful.
She does things like that and you care so much about her reputation.
The two of you played against each other, your words laced with thinly veiled jealousy.
Their wedding had beca public mockery, and deep down, they feared that Allison would take pleasure in
their humiliation.
So they decided to attack first.
