Spoiled by Mr. Russell novel Chapter 197

Chapter 197

Nathaniel hung up the phone and took a cigarette break before entering the house. Inside, Melanie was sitting on the sola, peeling an orange. Before putting it into her mouth, she ensured the orange was free of all pithis. “Something wrong?” Melanie asked as she noticed he had a pained expression. She cleaned up the mess on the table, wiped her hands, and sat up. Nathaniel shook his head, indicating that he rather not talk about it.

“Even if you don‘t tell me, I could guess. I heard a thing or two when you were on the phone. Lily was the one who leaked the information about our perfume, right?” Melanie was good at reading people as if she was filled with wisdom.

Since Melanie had overheard his conversation with Lily, he decided not to keep it from her anymore. He heaved a heavy sigh, walked to the fridge to get a can of beer, and downed it.

“Why are you so angry when she‘s the one who leaked the information? She‘s just asking for trouble. If that‘s what she wants, then let her be,” Melanie said nonchalantly.

She did not think it was a huge problem. Ever since the formula of their perfume was leaked the last time, Melanie lad honestly stopped caring

It was true that the awards she had received were all because of those perfumes, but it was Lily who invented them. Melanie did not participate in any research or production, so she knew nothing about the formula. Her value to the company diminished after the award show.

“If we can‘t prove that Lily leaked the information, we could say we did it ourselves to stimulate healthy competition in the industry. The goal was to share confidential information in order to develop superior versions of our products. Since the damage is done, we might as well try to improve our image. Just think of it as Lily helping us instead,” she concluded.

After listening to Melanie, Nathaniel felt enlightened and nodded in agreement, “You‘re right! That‘s a great idea!”

“Don‘t worry too much about it. The most important thing now is to get our new products out into the market is soon as possible. Which our products become a hit, we no longer have to fear Lily of our formulas being leaked! Lily‘s just a nobody. She won‘t be able to cause much commotion,” Melanie said confidently.
