Mr. Powell Is Hunting for His Wife

Chapter 56: Seasonal Contest of the Perfume Industry in Sliwell

She denied it immediately. In that case, even if she gave up on taking the revenge, she was afraid that she wouldn’t be able to fight against the power of the whole Moss family.

Diana thought for a while, and she realized that she couldn’t let things go on in this way.

No matter how gifted she was in blending, although she had the Smith family as her backer, if Mirabelle would do crazy things as she had done six years ago, she couldn’t retreat completely at all.

If Mirabelle did something insane and forced Diana to ask Brooklyn for help, Diana’s secrets would be exposed...

Diana looked down, biting her bottom lip reluctantly.

In that case, she wouldn’t be defeated by Mirabelle, but she wouldn’t win against Brooklyn.

She had underestimated how curious a person could be. If Brooklyn insisted on getting to know her secrets, he would use all kinds of means.

She still could recall what Brooklyn said to her after the evening banquet was over that day.

Diana was a woman after all. Even she had learned self-dense techniques, she couldn’t win against a man.

If it weren’t that she was smart to kiss him, probably she had exposed her secrets already.

Sweat oozed on her forehead. She had never expected that Brooklyn was the most difficult one to deal with when she was taking revenge on Mirabelle. NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

Diana switched on her laptop, found Mirabelle’s email address, and thought for a moment.

“Dear Ms. Moss, how are you? I’m Anna Miller. Long time no see. How’s it going with you and Mr. Powell recently? Please don’t misunderstand me, Ms. Moss. I must tell you that I’m not interested in the position of manager of the perfume department in Powell Group at all.

“I have nothing to do with Ashley’s resignation. Ms. Moss, if you can’t rest assured, please recommend yourself to Mr. Powell. Tomorrow, I’ll send you a bottle of perfume that I blended myself as my apology. Ms. Moss, you can use it to participate in the seasonal perfume contest of Sliwell City. I can promise you that you’ll become the chief perfumer in Sliwell City and I won’t participate in this contest at all.”

Diana didn’t think that it was a good time for her to make a move yet.

Unless she had already become an indispensable person to Powell Group or probably to Brooklyn, she was sure that Brooklyn would definitely choose to give up on her, his assistant, rather than giving up on the marriage with the Moss family.

After sending the email, Diana closed her laptop.

Fortunately, she had plenty of storage of her perfumes. After picking up a bottle of perfume, Diana packed it up, filled an express bill, and planned to mail it tomorrow.

The next day, Diana went to work with two dark circles under her eyes.

In the morning, she had used a lot of concealer makeup, but it couldn’t cover them at all. Hence, she decided to come to work with the dark circles.

On the way, a lot of people were pointing at her and discussing with each other.

Since Diana joined the company, she would always look pretty and enchanting. She had never looked so haggard before.

Someone nosy walked up to her and asked, “Good morning, Anna. What happened?”

Diana slightly looked up and didn’t spare any glance at others.

She curled up her lips into a smile and answered indifferently, “I’ve been working overnight. What do you think? Or you can try to work as Mr. Powell’s assistant for a month.”

Upon hearing it, the nosy person kept silent.

Everyone knew that Brooklyn was a workaholic. As long as he was still working, his assistant must be working as well.

Except for Harper, nobody could work as Brooklyn’s assistant for over a month.

With the dark circles, Diana pushed the door of the office open.

As usual, she bumped into Harper.

After a few seconds of silence, Harper asked, “Anna, didn’t you sleep very well last night?”

Diana put down her purse and glanced at Brooklyn, who was sitting at the desk with a cold face. “Of course not. I was busy for a whole night and couldn’t sleep at all.”

Harper didn’t know what Diana was busy with. Seeing that she didn’t want to tell him more, he didn’t insist on asking.

After reporting his work status to Brooklyn briefly, he walked out of the office rapidly.

Only Diana and Brooklyn were left in the office.

Brooklyn seemed to be in a good mood today. With interest, he raised his head and cast a glance at the woman who had dark circles while starting to work. Then he knocked on the desk. “Were you busy for a whole night?”

Diana rolled up her eyes.

She stopped her work, tilted her head to look at him, and answered crossly, “Mr. Powell, you are so smart. Why can’t you realize that my dark circles have something to do with you?”

Brooklyn smiled more deeply.

He knew what was going on but he played dull. “Why does it have anything to do with me? Did you dream of me so you couldn’t fall asleep?”

Diana choked up. She had never seen such a shameless man like Brooklyn before.

She snorted in anger. Then suddenly she smiled.

She curled her eyes as if she wasn’t angry at all and said in a charming tone deliberately, “Mr. Powell, I heard that your fiancée, Ms. Mirabelle Moss, is the chief perfumer in town. Isn’t she?”

Brooklyn nodded.

Diana continued, “Ashley is the second perfumer in town. After she was fired by you, her reputation might reduce, so not many perfumers in Sliwell City could compete with Ms. Moss. Besides, there would be a blending contest in the perfume business soon. I’m afraid that Ms. Moss would try her best effort to maintain her title as the chief perfumer.”

Diana looked at Brooklyn, whose expression didn’t change at all.

She could only find something that she couldn’t understand in his deep eyes.

Diana swallowed.

She continued in an enchanting tone but the content she was speaking was quite frightening, “Mr. Powell, you know Ms. Moss dislikes me, but you still sent me to the perfume department of the company and promoted me as the manager. You are causing me big trouble. Everyone knows that the manager of the perfume department in Powell Group must attend the blending contest, but I’m more skilled than Ms. Moss, so I can absolutely win against her. In that case, she would see me as a thorn in the side. I have no background or backer. How can I survive in Sliwell City?”

Brooklyn’s deep eyes became cold instantly.

The woman in front of him was much smarter than he had imagined.

Not so many people could see through his schemes, and Anna was one of them.

After seeing through his plan, Anna was the first one to expose it directly to him.

Brooklyn said in a cold tone, his thin lips apart, “Do you know what you meant by the words you said just now?”

Diana faintly smiled, her eyes charming.

“Of course, I know. Mr. Powell, you want to know my secrets, don’t you? If Ms. Moss targeted me, you’ll be the only one who could protect me at that time. If I asked you for help, I must provide you a condition for exchange. I guess the condition must be my secret.”

After finishing her words, Diana was slightly relieved.

So far, Brooklyn hadn’t sent her away. It seemed that she had made the right bet.

Powell Group needed her blending techniques. However, based on Powell Group’s wealth and power, it wouldn’t be difficult for them to hire a perfumer who was as capable as Diana.

Diana realized that Brooklyn had larger interests in her than she had imagined.

She curled up her lips into a smile. Finally, she had a trump card.
